A45831	Rome is no rule, or, An answer to an epistle published by a Roman Catholic who stiles himself Cap. Robert Everard and may serve for an answer to two Popish treatises, the one entituled The question of questions, and the other Fiat lux, out of which books the arguments urged in the said epistle against the authority of the Scriptures and the infallibility of the Roman Church are collected : in which answer, the authority of the Scriptures is vindicated and the arguments for the Roman infallibility refuted / by J.I.

whatsoever_o be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n must_v be_v plain_a and_o clear_a in_o all_o necessary_a point_n the_o scripture_n you_o say_v be_v not_o plain_a and_o clear_a in_o all_o necessary_a point_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o your_o argument_n and_o for_o this_o you_o give_v divers_a instance_n of_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o be_v not_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n the_o first_o be_v in_o pag._n 22.23_o that_o it_o be_v not_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n what_o a_o sacrament_n be_v and_o how_o many_o there_o be_v or_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o or_o no_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o you_o strive_v about_o word_n for_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o believe_v that_o those_o institution_n shall_v be_v call_v sacrament_n which_o be_v usual_o so_o call_v and_o if_o it_o be_v than_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v know_v what_o and_o how_o many_o institution_n shall_v be_v so_o denominate_v but_o it_o suffice_v that_o those_o institution_n which_o we_o call_v sacrament_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n together_o with_o the_o person_n who_o shall_v observe_v they_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o they_o shall_v be_v observe_v you_o come_v to_o a_o second_o thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v that_o be_v not_o in_o scripture_n namely_o that_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o say_v be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a for_o one_o to_o believe_v all_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o bible_n to_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o thereupon_o be_v save_v who_o may_v yet_o doubt_v whether_o every_o one_o of_o the_o penman_n do_v write_v by_o inspiration_n and_o again_o when_o it_o be_v say_v and_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o material_a object_n of_o faith_n and_o those_o divine_a verity_n which_o christ_n reveal_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o they_o to_o the_o church_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o be_v except_v they_o be_v not_o receive_v as_o the_o material_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o as_o the_o mean_n of_o convey_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o if_o a_o man_n do_v believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n it_o shall_v not_o hinder_v his_o salvation_n though_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o scripture_n or_o no_o again_o many_o of_o those_o who_o you_o canonize_v do_v not_o allow_v of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o many_o whole_a church_n differ_v about_o the_o authority_n of_o some_o book_n which_o church_n must_v all_o be_v damn_v if_o the_o believe_v those_o book_n have_v be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n you_o proceed_v and_o say_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o this_o you_o say_v be_v not_o plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n i_o answer_v as_o before_o this_o belief_n can_v be_v necessary_a where_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o propose_v for_o god_n do_v not_o require_v man_n to_o believe_v upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n when_o he_o have_v not_o give_v mean_n in_o order_n thereunto_o but_o 2._o whoever_o shall_v consult_v the_o excellent_a precept_n the_o glorious_a promise_n together_o with_o that_o great_a spirit_n of_o holiness_n and_o self-denial_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n must_v needs_o say_v that_o they_o have_v the_o image_n and_o superscription_n of_o heaven_n upon_o they_o and_o from_o thence_o be_v as_o certain_o persuade_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v write_v with_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o so_o many_o book_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n nay_o and_o more_o certain_a because_o that_o one_o sentence_n may_v soon_o have_v be_v expunge_v or_o deface_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n than_o that_o spirit_n of_o light_n and_o truth_n which_o breathe_v in_o the_o face_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n from_o all_o the_o quarter_n of_o they_o your_o other_o instance_n that_o follow_v be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v either_o take_v notice_n of_o already_o or_o else_o they_o be_v such_o that_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o be_v impertinent_o allege_v to_o weaken_v the_o guidance_n and_o conduct_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o order_n to_o that_o bless_a end_n but_o since_o you_o be_v so_o able_a to_o lay_v stumble_v block_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o thereby_o man_n may_v stumble_v and_o fall_v let_v i_o see_v if_o you_o be_v as_o able_a to_o remove_v some_o stumble_a block_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o way_n to_o your_o infallible_a church_n first_o be_v not_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n as_o your_o church_n teach_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o second_o how_o can_v you_o be_v infallible_a that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v administer_v by_o a_o true_a priest_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v by_o a_o true_a priest_n than_o

he_o can_v reclaim_v he_o he_o must_v tell_v the_o church_n which_o can_v be_v understand_v for_o any_o but_o that_o particular_a church_n among_o who_o he_o reside_v which_o you_o say_v be_v such_o as_o may_v err_v in_o judgement_n 3_o by_o the_o same_o parity_n of_o reason_n a_o single_a private_a man_n can_v err_v because_o the_o text_n say_v he_o ought_v to_o be_v hear_v if_o he_o admonish_v his_o brother_n of_o his_o fault_n ver_fw-la 15_o 16_o 17._o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o brother_n sin_n if_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v he_o and_o the_o text_n further_o say_v if_o his_o brother_n do_v hear_v he_o that_o he_o have_v gain_v his_o brother_n but_o if_o this_o brother_n may_v err_v than_o he_o may_v err_v in_o admonish_v and_o the_o admonish_v person_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v gain_v to_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v gain_v to_o a_o error_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o your_o argument_n i_o be_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v may_v you_o not_o as_o logical_o infer_v that_o because_o i_o be_o to_o hear_v a_o single_a private_a brother_n therefore_o a_o single_a private_a brother_n can_v err_v and_o by_o this_o you_o will_v make_v all_o the_o son_n of_o your_o church_n infallible_a like_o the_o pope_n your_o father_n and_o by_o this_o rule_n parent_n be_v infallible_a because_o they_o must_v be_v hear_v by_o their_o child_n your_o next_o

unto_o you_o and_o chap._n 16.17_o i_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v hear_v they_o now_o howbeit_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n from_o which_o you_o infer_v that_o if_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n shall_v be_v with_o his_o apostle_n for_o ever_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n it_o follow_v they_o shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o this_o text_n in_o st._n matthew_n can_v be_v a_o good_a argument_n for_o you_o because_o you_o say_v you_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a of_o st._n mathews_n gospel_n and_o can_v tell_v whether_o he_o that_o do_v translate_v it_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n or_o no._n 2_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n may_v

this_o promise_n be_v make_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v lead_v the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n into_o all_o truth_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v lead_v they_o irresistable_o though_o it_o may_v lead_v they_o sufficient_o but_o 4._o may_v i_o not_o as_o well_o infer_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n that_o therefore_o all_o the_o world_n can_v be_v but_o effectual_o and_o irresistable_o convince_v as_o you_o may_v say_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n that_o therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v but_o must_v be_v effectual_o so_o lead_v 5_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n
