o_o how_o many_o sermon_n have_v we_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o father_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n after_o and_o never_o such_o a_o word_n in_o they_o how_o many_o nation_n and_o soul_n

either_o know_v not_o what_o the_o father_n hold_n or_o else_o they_o know_v that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o small_a part_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o at_o least_o far_o from_o all_o that_o the_o father_n do_v interpret_v with_o unanimous_a consent_n and_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o of_o they_o that_o know_v what_o the_o father_n do_v unanimous_o consent_v in_o and_o what_o not_o their_o volume_n be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a and_o time_n so_o short_a and_o most_o so_o idle_a or_o necessary_o divert_v in_o abundance_n of_o text_n the_o father_n differ_v among_o themselves_o and_o here_o the_o swearer_n do_v bind_v themselves_o never_o to_o interpret_v those_o scripture_n at_o all_o till_o a_o messenger_n from_o heaven_n shall_v tell_v they_o what_o the_o father_n be_v agree_v on_o since_o their_o death_n they_o be_v swear_v also_o to_o embrace_v the_o sense_n of_o their_o church_n whereas_o the_o father_n and_o their_o church_n do_v frequent_o disagree_v they_o be_v swear_v to_o all_o thing_n deliver_v define_v and_o declare_v by_o the_o canon_n and_o ecumenical_a council_n and_o this_o without_o doubt_v o_o strong_a faith_n when_o even_o man_n faith_n in_o christ_n himself_o be_v oft_o mix_v with_o such_o doubt_v that_o we_o must_v pray_v lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n i_o believe_v help_v my_o unbelief_n yea_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o a_o multitude_n of_o they_o that_o know_v what_o all_o these_o canon_n or_o council_n do_v contain_v yea_o when_o these_o canon_n and_o council_n do_v frequent_o contradict_v

of_o trent_n do_v add_v to_o the_o canon_n of_o scripture_n contrary_a to_o the_o council_n of_o laodicea_n and_o carthage_n 3._o and_o the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n go_v contrary_a to_o the_o current_a judgement_n of_o the_o church_n in_o add_v the_o apocryphal_a book_n to_o the_o canon_n abundance_n more_o of_o their_o contradiction_n may_v be_v show_v reason_n 10._o moreover_o popery_n be_v a_o uncertain_a profession_n both_o for_o the_o foundation_n and_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o perfection_n no_o man_n can_v full_o tell_v what_o it_o be_v or_o when_o he_o have_v it_o and_o when_o he_o have_v it_o not_o for_o the_o foundation_n of_o it_o their_o council_n and_o nation_n be_v yet_o disagree_v whether_o the_o pope_n or_o general_n council_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o which_o must_v be_v follow_v when_o they_o disagree_v and_o which_o be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n and_o for_o the_o matter_n how_o few_o in_o the_o world_n can_v tell_v what_o be_v in_o all_o the_o canon_n and_o council_n and_o father_n and_o what_o be_v their_o sense_n and_o abundance_n other_o uncertainty_n i_o have_v full_o manifest_v in_o my_o book_n against_o popery_n disp._n 2._o &_o 3_o and_o for_o the_o very_a article_n of_o faith_n i_o have_v there_o show_v that_o they_o be_v still_o to_o they_o uncertain_a whether_o they_o have_v yet_o all_o or_o not_o because_o that_o the_o pope_n may_v make_v those_o to_o be_v point_n of_o faith_n as_o to_o the_o people_n that_o be_v not_o so_o before_o and_o so_o he_o may_v increase_v they_o who_o know_v how_o much_o every_o time_n that_o the_o pope_n determine_v a_o controversy_n he_o make_v we_o a_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o he_o late_o do_v against_o the_o jansenian_o and_o how_o many_o hundred_o controversy_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v determine_v and_o consequent_o so_o many_o article_n to_o be_v add_v reason_n 11._o moreover_o popery_n be_v a_o humane_a faith_n and_o not_o a_o divine_a it_o lead_v we_o but_o to_o man_n and_o bottome_v we_o on_o man_n and_o therefore_o leave_v we_o short_a of_o god_n they_o must_v first_o believe_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o truth_n of_o scripture_n on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n and_o then_o they_o must_v take_v the_o meaning_n of_o every_o word_n of_o scripture_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o father_n so_o that_o the_o very_a upshot_n of_o all_o their_o religion_n be_v they_o believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v tell_v they_o so_o and_o how_o know_v they_o that_o this_o church_n be_v infallible_a because_o they_o say_v so_o themselves_o or_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o be_v infallible_a but_o who_o know_v where_o but_o which_o be_v the_o infallible_a church_n of_o rome_n the_o pope_n say_v one_o a_o council_n say_v another_o a_o council_n confirm_v by_o a_o pope_n say_v a_o three_o and_o how_o know_v the_o world_n that_o these_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o that_o he_o confirm_v the_o council_n because_o such_o a_o cardinal_n or_o our_o parish_n priest_n or_o a_o jesuit_n say_v so_o and_o here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o people_n be_v leave_v reason_n 12._o popery_n fetch_v up_o a_o head_n for_o the_o universal_a church_n that_o can_v possible_o govern_v it_o and_o a_o centre_n for_o the_o church_n in_o which_o it_o can_v possible_o unite_v and_o so_o it_o be_v but_o a_o titular_a head_n and_o a_o name_n and_o
