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.

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

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 which_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v mean_v notorious_a and_o wicked_a man_n now_o than_o this_o spirit_n some_o of_o those_o pope_n which_o you_o call_v the_o apostle_n successor_n can_v not_o have_v because_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v notorious_o and_o confess_o wicked_a all_o which_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o this_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v make_v to_o direct_v and_o guide_v we_o into_o a_o further_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n till_o we_o come_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o christ_n upon_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v faithful_a in_o what_o we_o already_o know_v like_o unto_o that_o promise_n joh._n 17.17_o if_o any_o man_n do_v his_o will_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o to_o this_o agree_v the_o rhemi●●_n testament_n translate_n that_o

with_o you_o for_o ever_o now_o how_o can_v i_o be_v infallible_a that_o the_o pope_n be_v thus_o guide_v unless_o i_o do_v infallible_o know_v that_o he_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 6_o you_o say_v 〈◊〉_d into_o all_o truth_n imply_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n but_o this_o follow_v not_o not_o more_o then_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n goodness_n lead_v to_o repentance_n that_o therefore_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o impenitency_n and_o last_o if_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n imply_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o since_o your_o church_n as_o you_o say_v be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n into_o all_o truth_n that_o she_o do_v not_o preserve_v all_o her_o son_n from_o all_o error_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v see_v do_v guide_v they_o all_o sufficient_o though_o not_o efficient_o although_o that_o be_v false_a yet_o you_o have_v answer_v yourself_o for_o though_o god_n spirit_n and_o

they_o be_v full_a of_o imperfection_n thus_o god_n may_v teach_v and_o the_o church_n not_o learn_v god_n spirit_n may_v lead_v and_o the_o church_n like_a rome_n may_v be_v refractory_a your_o last_o text_n be_v 1_o tim._n 3.15_o the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o trust._n hence_o you_o will_v infer_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v because_o we_o may_v secure_o rely_v upon_o she_o as_o upon_o a_o pillar_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n do_v not_o respect_v the_o universal_a church_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o but_o the_o particular_a church_n which_o timothy_n have_v the_o oversight_n of_o in_o which_o paul_n admonish_v he_o how_o he_o shall_v behave_v himself_o but_o 2._o if_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v here_o mean_v and_o not_o a_o particular_a church_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o prove_v nothing_o to_o your_o purpose_n because_o church_n and_o people_n receive_v their_o denomination_n ordinary_o from_o what_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o point_n of_o duty_n and_o not_o from_o what_o they_o be_v by_o necessity_n thus_o the_o disciple_n be_v call_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o they_o be_v in_o duty_n to_o be_v so_o and_o not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v otherwise_o else_o it_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o threaten_v they_o that_o if_o they_o lose_v their_o savour_n they_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o ground_n of_o in_o point_n of_o duty_n and_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o she_o may_v neglect_v and_o violate_v this_o duty_n and_o become_v the_o teacher_n of_o error_n but_o last_o the_o church_n may_v be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n not_o only_o because_o she_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o because_o in_o all_o age_n she_o be_v so_o in_o that_o she_o

to_o prove_v that_o reason_n be_v not_o judge_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n for_o then_o say_v you_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o please_v god_n for_o reason_n will_v teach_v we_o how_o to_o please_v he_o may_v not_o a_o man_n from_o the_o same_o premise_n infer_v that_o your_o church_n be_v not_o the_o judge_n because_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o please_v god_n without_o faith_n because_o the_o church_n will_v teach_v we_o how_o to_o please_v he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o church_n do_v teach_v we_o to_o please_v god_n by_o faith_n i_o say_v it_o be_v well_o if_o she_o do_v but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n she_o do_v not_o teach_v we_o to_o please_v god_n by_o faith_n before_o it_o be_v require_v and_o

thus_o my_o b●●●tren_n i_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n and_o contention_n among_o we_o whether_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v infallible_a or_o not_o this_o controversy_n can_v be_v judge_v by_o a_o private_a spirit_n for_o that_o may_v sail_v nor_o by_o reason_n because_o man_n reason_n be_v uncertain_a and_o subject_a to_o variation_n neither_o be_v the_o scripture_n a_o

and_o in_o the_o same_o breath_n you_o say_v it_o do_v not_o appear_v whether_o it_o be_v the_o imperative_a or_o the_o indicative_a mood_n do_v you_o think_v infallibility_n have_v any_o assinity_n with_o this_o answer_n nay_o you_o further_o say_v that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o command_n to_o all_o to_o road_n and_o search_v the_o scripture_n that_o they_o rather_o seem_v a_o

they_o rather_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o reprehension_n to_o all_o that_o shall_v frame_v that_o conceit_n of_o they_o and_o your_o rhemish_a commentator_n say_v that_o they_o be_v reprehend_v because_o

3_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n be_v deep_o and_o diligent_o search_v and_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o both_o jew_n and_o heretic_n err_v be_v not_o the_o

reason_n why_o the_o word_n search_v the_o scripture_n can_v extend_v to_o prove_v the_o conclusion_n because_o you_o say_v if_o they_o be_v vuderstood_v in_o the_o imperative_a mood_n which_o can_v

in_o the_o indicative_a mood_n what_o a_o madness_n be_v this_o that_o you_o shall_v exact_v infallible_a interpretation_n from_o those_o that_o do_v profess_v fallibility_n and_o not_o perform_v a_o infallible_a interpretation_n when_o you_o pretend_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o church_n that_o be_v infallible_a but_o
