that_o it_o have_v do_v thus_o not_o only_o for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o year_n but_o for_o a_o thousand_o or_o at_o least_o 900._o year_n all_o which_o how_o absurd_a they_o be_v we_o will_v now_o declare_v 2._o but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o which_o we_o be_v to_o say_v hereafter_o of_o this_o matter_n may_v be_v the_o better_o understand_v we_o must_v note_v here_o that_o when_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o faith_n that_o by_o this_o word_n faith_n we_o understand_v not_o only_o that_o invisible_a faith_n which_o be_v in_o our_o mind_n but_o also_o visible_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o public_a doctrine_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o be_v propose_v or_o set_v down_o to_o be_v believe_v of_o all_o wherefore_o when_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n we_o affirm_v also_o that_o the_o doctrine_n or_o point_n of_o faith_n the_o which_o the_o church_n of_o god_n set_v down_o as_o the_o most_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a word_n of_o god_n can_v be_v false_a but_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n itself_o which_o i_o will_v clear_o declare_v by_o these_o argument_n 3._o the_o first_o argument_n be_v deduce_v out_o of_o all_o those_o property_n and_o office_n of_o the_o true_a church_n before_o allege_v out_o of_o scripture_n 1._o for_o the_o true_a faith_n be_v once_o take_v away_o all_o the_o foresay_a property_n of_o the_o church_n must_v needs_o perish_v and_o all_o her_o office_n must_v cease_v for_o the_o church_n can_v neither_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o body_n nor_o the_o kingdom_n nor_o the_o inheritance_n nor_o the_o temple_n of_o christ_n without_o faith_n but_o neither_o can_v the_o church_n without_o faith_n &_o the_o true_a doctrine_n thereof_o either_o conceyve_v bring_v forth_o nourish_v govern_v or_o defend_v christ●es_n flock_n and_o in_o this_o manner_n the_o church_n of_o christ_n for_o so_o many_o age_n have_v lose_v all_o her_o property_n controu_n &_o have_v intermit_v all_o her_o proper_a office_n contrary_a to_o so_o many_o and_o so_o clear_a promise_n of_o holy_a wit●_n before_o allege_v 4._o the_o second_o argument_n be_v deduce_v out_o of_o most_o clear_a testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o teach_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o faith_n for_o first_o christ_n himself_o affirm_v 18._o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n but_o if_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o faith_n the_o gate_n of_o hell_n for_o so_o many_o age_n past_a have_v prevail_v against_o she_o 5._o moreover_o god_n speak_v thus_o by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o ult._n new_a testament_n this_o be_v my_o league_n with_o they_o say_v our_o lord_n my_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o and_o my_o word_n which_o i_o have_v put_v in_o thy_o mouth_n shall_v not_o depart_v out_o of_o thy_o mouth_n &_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o seed_n &_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o seed_n seed_n say_v our_o lord_n from_o hence_o forth_o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o in_o our_o adversary_n opinion_n the_o word_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o church_n have_v depart_v many_o age_n out_o of_o her_o mouth_n 9_o 6._o last_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o stability_n of_o truth_n but_o if_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o faith_n and_o teach_v public_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o pillar_n rather_o of_o falsehood_n then_o of_o truth_n some_o of_o our_o adversary_n do_v answer_v unto_o this_o place_n that_o the_o church_n be_v call_v indeed_o the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n because_o it_o do_v not_o err_v when_o it_o follow_v and_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o err_v when_o it_o disagree_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v a_o very_a frivolous_a answer_n for_o according_a unto_o this_o interpretation_n every_o church_n of_o heretic_n of_o jew_n turk_n yea_o of_o the_o devil_n themselves_o shall_v be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n for_o none_o of_o these_o err_v when_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o a_o pillar_n be_v that_o which_o necessary_o and_o always_o uphold_v that_o which_o it_o strenghtn_v and_o who_o pillar_n it_o be_v wherefore_o the_o church_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n unless_o it_o always_o stick_v and_o be_v join_v with_o the_o truth_n and_o uphould_v it_o fine_a calvin_n therefore_o convince_v by_o the_o evidency_n of_o the_o truth_n write_v that_o if_o true_a church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o kingdom_n where_o lie_n &_o falsehood_n reygn_v can_v be_v the_o true_a church_n thus_o calvin_n 7._o the_o three_o argument_n be_v deduce_v out_o of_o diverse_a absurdity_n which_o ensue_v out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o adversary_n the_o first_o adsurdity_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v false_a wherein_o we_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n for_o that_o church_n can_v be_v holy_a which_o want_v the_o true_a faith_n which_o teach_v falsity_n and_o wickedness_n which_o force_v all_o man_n to_o idolatry_n 8._o the_o second_o absurdity_n be_v that_o christ_n himself_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v err_v and_o teach_v thing_n both_o false_a and_o wicked_a for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v of_o christ_n &_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 16._o who_o hear_v you_o say_v christ_n hear_v i_o 26._o and_o in_o another_o place_n 28._o the_o paraclete_n the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o my_o father_n will_v send_v you_o in_o my_o name_n he_o will_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o seem_v good_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o to_o us._n last_o god_n himself_o by_o his_o prophet_n speak_v unto_o the_o church_n affirm_v that_o his_o holy_a spirit_n be_v in_o the_o church_n and_o that_o he_o have_v put_v his_o word_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o church_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v take_v out_o of_o her_o mouth_n from_o henceforth_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o if_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n christ_n also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o god_n himself_o shall_v err_v 9_o the_o three_o absurdity_n be_v that_o a_o building_n can_v consist_v &_o stand_v without_o a_o foundation_n for_o the_o say_v of_o christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n if_o yet_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2d_o you_o continue_v in_o the_o say_v ground_v and_o stable_a and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o teach_v that_o the_o church_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n 20._o but_o the_o foundation_n be_v take_v away_o the_o building_n must_v needs_o fall_v this_o absurdity_n be_v so_o manifest_a that_o it_o force_v calvin_n to_o confess_v this_o very_a truth_n which_o now_o we_o teach_v to_o be_v evident_o convince_v out_o of_o s._n paul_n word_n 1._o if_o say_v he_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n take_v away_o that_o doctrine_n and_o how_o can_v the_o building_n stand_v thus_o calvin_n 10._o the_o four_o absurdity_n be_v that_o the_o true_a church_n shall_v consist_v and_o be_v without_o her_o prop●r_n and_o essential_a form_n no_o otherwise_o then_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o a_o true_a and_o live_a man_n may_v consist_v and_o be_v without_o his_o soul_n for_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o the_o true_a preach_v thereof_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o essential_a form_n of_o the_o church_n 11._o calvin_n also_o acknowledge_v this_o absurdity_n when_o he_o write_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n be_v take_v away_o there_o must_v needs_o follow_v the_o utter_a overthrow_n of_o religion_n even_o as_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v overthrow_v and_o take_v away_o if_o he_o be_v stab_v with_o a_o dagger_n or_o deadly_o wound_v at_o the_o hart_n 11._o the_o four_o argument_n be_v deduce_v out_o of_o the_o manifest_a contradiction_n which_o follow_v of_o the_o contrary_a doctrine_n for_o they_o who_o contend_v that_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n do_v err_v in_o faith_n do_v not_o indeed_o know_v what_o they_o say_v for_o that_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o retain_v and_o keep_v still_o the_o name_n &_o the_o sincere_a faith_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o be_v the_o fal●e_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o only_o profess_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o err_v in_o faith_n wherefore_o to_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n err_v in_o faith_n be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o

they_o to_o have_v this_o extraordinary_a call_n nevertheless_o by_o these_o ensue_a argument_n we_o will_v manifest_o prove_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v confirm_v and_o approve_v by_o those_o who_o have_v their_o ordinary_a vocation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n 4._o the_o first_o argument_n 1._o s._n paul_n be_v immediate_o and_o extraordinary_o call_v by_o god_n as_o he_o write_v himself_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v send_v to_o anainas_n who_o have_v the_o ordinary_a vocation_n 7._o that_o by_o he_o he_o may_v be_v instruct_v and_o baptize_v and_o afterward_o together_o with_o s._n barnabas_n he_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n by_o those_o who_o be_v the_o ordinary_a pastor_n of_o the_o church_n ●_o last_o he_o write_v that_o according_a to_o the_o revelation_n which_o he_o have_v 2._o he_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o confer_v the_o gospel_n which_o he_o preach_v with_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o ordinary_a pastor_n of_o the_o same_o lest_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v run_v or_o labour_v in_o vain_a they_o therefore_o who_o refuse_v the_o approbation_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n albeit_o they_o be_v never_o so_o extraordinary_o call_v thereunto_o they_o do_v but_o labour_v in_o vain_a 5._o the_o second_o argument_n we_o m●st_v not_o easy_o believe_v every_o one_o who_o affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v extraordinary_o send_v by_o god_n 1._o according_a to_o that_o admonition_n of_o s._n john_n believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o prove_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n because_o many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n but_o this_o proof_n or_o trial_n can_v be_v better_a do_v then_o by_o christ_n church_n which_o be_v as_o s._n paul_n write_v 15._o the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n the_o which_o also_o s._n john_n clear_o show_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o know_v god_n hear_v we_o he_o that_o be_v not_o of_o god_n ●_o hear_v we_o not_o in_o this_o we_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o most_o certain_a rule_n whereby_o this_o extraordinary_a vocation_n be_v examine_v to_o demand_v whether_o it_o will_v submit_v itself_o to_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o will_v hear_v she_o or_o no_o for_o he_o who_o hear_v the_o church_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o true_a extraordinary_a vocation_n but_o he_o who_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o the_o false_a extraordinary_a vocation_n 6._o the_o three_o argument_n the_o holy_a ghost_n never_o contradict_v himself_o for_o otherwise_o which_o god_n forbid_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n but_o of_o falsehood_n for_o truth_n be_v never_o repugnant_a to_o truth_n but_o to_o falsehood_n see_v that_o therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o ordinary_a vocation_n be_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o extraordinary_a can_v be_v opposite_a unto_o it_o which_o be_v true_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o otherwise_o god_n shall_v be_v opposite_a unto_o himself_o which_o be_v impiety_n to_o think_v wherefore_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o extraordinary_a vocation_n must_v agree_v with_o the_o ordidinary_a and_o be_v subject_a unto_o it_o as_o also_o it_o must_v establish_v and_o confirm_v but_o not_o impugn_v it_o 32._o hereupon_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n if_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n much_o more_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ._n 7._o the_o four_o argument_n there_o will_v arise_v a_o great_a confusion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o every_o one_o be_v permit_v to_o preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n that_o shall_v affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v extraordinary_o call_v without_o any_o other_o examine_v or_o approbation_n of_o the_o church_n for_o so_o every_o fantastical_a fellow_n may_v free_o brag_v and_o affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v extraordinary_o call_v by_o god_n and_o under_o that_o pretence_n and_o title_n may_v preach_v administer_v the_o sacrament_n and_o exercise_v all_o other_o ecclesiastical_a office_n confess_n 8._o by_o these_o argument_n some_o more_o learned_a among_o our_o adversary_n be_v convince_v do_v acknowledge_v that_o all_o extraordinary_a vocation_n shall_v be_v examine_v and_o approve_v by_o the_o ordinary_a pastor_n of_o christ_n church_n 4._o but_o they_o add_v moreover_o that_o this_o be_v true_a when_o the_o church_n itself_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o as_o long_o as_o the_o ordinary_a vocation_n remain_v in_o she_o but_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o add_v these_o condition_n 13._o because_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o true_a church_n always_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o can_v depart_v or_o decline_v in_o any_o sort_n from_o it_o for_o otherwise_o she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n but_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o apostle_n also_o express_o say_v that_o the_o ordinary_a vocation_n of_o pastor_n &_o their_o continual_a succession_n shall_v remain_v always_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n until_o we_o meet_v all_o with_o christ_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 25._o by_o which_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n calvin_n also_o and_o beza_n be_v convince_v do_v confess_v that_o there_o must_v always_o be_v pastor_n and_o doctor_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o say_a church_n can_v consist_v without_o they_o the_o same_o also_o their_o confession_n make_v at_o rochel_n acknowledge_v in_o the_o 25._o article_n 9_o some_o of_o our_o adversary_n do_v here_o object_v unto_o we_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o say_v they_o their_o doctrine_n be_v never_o approve_v by_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o the_o jew_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o this_o be_v a_o very_a frivolous_a and_o odious_a comparison_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n with_o their_o minister_n for_o it_o be_v express_o foretell_v by_o the_o prophet_n that_o christ_n be_v to_o abrogate_v the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o carnal_a vocation_n and_o succession_n thereof_o 23._o and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o ordain_v another_o more_o excellent_a and_o spiritual_a the_o which_o he_o effect_v indeed_o wherefore_o see_v that_o now_o the_o apostle_n have_v another_o far_o more_o excellent_a vocation_n institute_v by_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n they_o shall_v ask_v any_o vocation_n from_o moses_n but_o we_o read_v no_o where_o that_o the_o vocation_n ordain_v by_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v abrogate_a by_o any_o other_o whosoever_o but_o contrariwise_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v plain_o teach_v that_o the_o vocation_n ordain_v by_o christ_n shall_v endure_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n ●3_n wherefore_o our_o adversary_n can_v prove_v nothing_o by_o this_o argument_n unless_o they_o will_v bring_v in_o and_o establish_v another_o messiah_n and_o a_o new_a lawmaker_n who_o have_v authority_n to_o abrogate_v
