generality_n of_o man_n after_o that_o dear-bought_a universality_n who_o will_v be_v the_o better_a man_n will_v have_v but_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o so_o he_o have_v now_o but_o again_o if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o since_o all_o the_o persuasion_n do_v hold_v themselves_o orthodox_n for_o no_o man_n will_v profess_v a_o religion_n and_o say_v it_o be_v false_a it_o be_v very_o likely_a this_o principle_n will_v be_v one_o ingredient_n of_o all_o their_o religion_n and_o so_o all_o part_n of_o the_o universe_n by_o a_o certain_a idiosyncrisis_fw-la of_o fight_v for_o their_o own_o will_v be_v move_a war_n together_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v affect_v the_o world_n with_o a_o universal_a principle_n of_o contention_n slaughter_n and_o destruction_n and_o all_o the_o miserable_a concomitant_n of_o war_n and_o that_o not_o as_o a_o accident_n of_o its_o depravation_n not_o as_o the_o issue_n of_o its_o corruption_n but_o as_o matter_n and_o part_n of_o the_o original_a rectitude_n of_o its_o constitution_n because_o all_o this_o be_v to_o be_v quatenus_fw-la truth_n and_o orthodox_n faith_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o world_n at_o large_a so_o will_v it_o be_v with_o the_o faction_n in_o every_o particular_a kingdom_n every_o one_o as_o he_o think_v himself_o orthodox_n will_v also_o think_v himself_o entitle_v to_o dominion_n and_o property_n over_o all_o the_o rest_n now_o for_o that_o i_o know_v your_o holiness_n make_v no_o question_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o orthodox_n faith_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o consequent_o the_o right_n of_o dominion_n when_o you_o shall_v have_v conquer_v all_o the_o world_n i_o pray_v you_o which_o of_o all_o the_o 300_o faction_n among_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o since_o but_o one_o can_v be_v the_o orthodox_n and_o your_o holiness_n can_v tell_v if_o you_o be_v infallible_a as_o for_o the_o put_v saint_n out_o of_o the_o temple_n if_o your_o authority_n be_v not_o good_a as_o i_o shall_v show_v present_o there_o be_v no_o such_o saint_n then_o as_o to_o the_o condemn_v the_o forefather_n if_o you_o mean_v those_o we_o common_o call_v the_o father_n we_o deny_v it_o we_o approve_v every_o word_n of_o every_o one_o but_o all_o that_o say_v as_o you_o say_v we_o deny_v to_o be_v father_n but_o the_o question_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o right_o take_v by_o some_o for_o they_o speak_v nothing_o of_o any_o point_n as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o controversy_n for_o it_o be_v not_o then_o if_o you_o mean_v the_o pope_n then_o to_o their_o and_o your_o authority_n we_o say_v thus_o 1._o the_o whole_a difference_n betwixt_o you_o and_o we_o depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n at_o least_o that_o be_v the_o grand_a controversy_n 2._o that_o authority_n depend_v upon_o his_o succession_n to_o s._n peter_n 3._o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o succession_n depend_v upon_o three_o thing_n in_o conjunction_n viz._n s._n peter_n be_v universal_a bishop_n his_o sit_v at_o rome_n in_o that_o capacity_n and_o his_o authority_n for_o both_o for_o if_o he_o sit_v at_o rome_n and_o be_v not_o universal_a you_o be_v not_o universal_a if_o he_o be_v universal_a and_o sit_v not_o at_o rome_n you_o be_v not_o his_o successor_n if_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n neither_o have_v you_o 4._o this_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v matter_n of_o faith_n or_o equivalent_a to_o it_o for_o you_o say_v to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n be_v damnable_a and_o to_o deny_v the_o pope_n authority_n be_v to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n 5._o this_o great_a matter_n of_o faith_n be_v build_v upon_o these_o three_o thing_n two_o of_o which_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o the_o other_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n 6._o that_o upon_o which_o matter_n of_o faith_n depend_v aught_o to_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o the_o faith_n ought_v to_o be_v steadfast_a then_o if_o those_o three_o thing_n be_v so_o certain_a show_v i_o the_o evidence_n which_o i_o require_v to_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o that_o whereby_o we_o know_v christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n because_o it_o be_v to_o support_v a_o point_n of_o faith_n the_o want_n of_o which_o you_o make_v as_o dangerous_a as_o the_o want_n of_o that_o and_o now_o in_o this_o case_n your_o holiness_n be_v prevent_v of_o the_o use_n of_o your_o archimedes_n engine_n have_v not_o where_o to_o stand_v while_o you_o use_v it_o viz._n the_o pope_n say_v so_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o the_o pope_n say_v so_o but_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a because_o the_o pope_n say_v so_o so_o that_o this_o must_v be_v previous_o prove_v to_o ground_v his_o credit_n upon_o do_v not_o mistake_v the_o elenchus_n the_o dispute_n be_v not_o of_o s._n peter_n be_v universal_a bishop_n or_o sit_v at_o rome_n nor_o of_o his_o authority_n so_o to_o do_v but_o of_o such_o a_o certainty_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o faith_n require_v we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o s._n peter_n be_v not_o so_o and_o do_v not_o so_o and_o have_v not_o so_o but_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a he_o be_v so_o and_o do_v so_o and_o have_v so_o and_o so_o long_v no_o man_n can_v be_v require_v to_o ascribe_v this_o authority_n to_o the_o pope_n take_v by_o the_o way_n but_o bellarmine_n first_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v at_o rome_n bishop_n or_o no_o bishop_n s._n peter_n say_v he_o in_o his_o epistle_n write_v thus_o the_o church_n at_o babylon_n salute_v you_o which_o babylon_n be_v figurative_o rome_n a_o proper_a basis_n to_o build_v faith_n upon_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o he_o himself_o do_v not_o take_v either_o this_o or_o any_o other_o he_o use_v to_o be_v so_o then_o as_o to_o the_o interpretation_n it_o be_v positive_o impossible_a that_o god_n can_v deal_v so_o unreasonable_o and_o unmerciful_o as_o to_o leave_v that_o uncertain_a upon_o the_o certainty_n whereof_o the_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a peace_n of_o his_o church_n depend_v if_o all_o the_o true_a religion_n rest_n upon_o this_o question_n namely_o whether_o the_o pope_n be_v what_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v or_o not_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o scripture_n which_o come_v on_o purpose_n to_o teach_v we_o religion_n shall_v let_v we_o understand_v nothing_o of_o it_o but_o what_o we_o can_v pick_v out_o as_o if_o we_o be_v read_v a_o riddle_n or_o interpret_n a_o dream_n or_o a_o oracle_n nay_o and_o must_v pick_v out_o that_o which_o by_o no_o rule_n or_o measure_n of_o interpretation_n can_v be_v find_v out_o be_v god_n such_o a_o egyptian_a task_n master_n thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o she_o whatsoever_o thou_o bind_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n feed_v my_o sheep_n now_o as_o we_o tender_v our_o be_v in_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o our_o salvation_n we_o must_v find_v in_o these_o word_n all_o these_o institution_n and_o that_o as_o certain_a and_o conspicuous_a as_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o murder_n 1._o that_o s._n peter_n be_v thereby_o make_v the_o great_a of_o the_o apostle_n 2._o that_o be_v so_o he_o be_v bishop_n of_o the_o world_n 3._o that_o be_v so_o where_o ever_o he_o sit_v that_o place_n shall_v retain_v that_o holiness_n that_o who_o so_o ever_o succeed_v in_o that_o seat_n shall_v be_v universal_a bishop_n 4._o that_o that_o universal_a bishop_n have_v a_o infallible_a faculty_n and_o authority_n in_o interpret_n scripture_n and_o dictate_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n 5._o that_o he_o have_v power_n over_o king_n and_o several_a other_o thing_n now_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o these_o thing_n do_v natural_o flow_v from_o these_o and_o than_o though_o they_o can_v which_o they_o can_v by_o dint_n of_o syllogism_n involve_v reason_v and_o concatenation_n of_o inference_n be_v deduce_v yet_o than_o they_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o every_o one_o be_v require_v to_o believe_v because_o every_o one_o than_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o they_o perhaps_o you_o will_v object_v every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v the_o matter_n in_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n yet_o those_o be_v not_o find_v in_o scripture_n but_o by_o inference_n which_o every_o one_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v neither_o do_v every_o one_o understand_v it_o the_o case_n be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n and_o do_v also_o natural_o suppose_v great_a thing_n in_o that_o god_n and_o then_o from_o that_o learn_v the_o manner_n and_o nature_n of_o his_o be_v which_o then_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o disbelieve_v unless_o we_o know_v any_o thing_n more_o likely_a to_o be_v true_a or_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v likely_a to_o make_v that_o false_a and_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v any_o more_o of_o this_o than_o he_o understand_v but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o general_a every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v but_o now_o in_o this_o case_n we_o do_v not_o first_o believe_v a_o pope_n and_o then_o come_v to_o this_o dark_a analogy_n to_o learn_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o office_n but_o we_o come_v to_o this_o to_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o pope_n it_o be_v all_o the_o way_n that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v which_o therefore_o since_o you_o make_v so_o necessary_a aught_o to_o be_v depend_v upon_o a_o common_a testimony_n to_o conclude_v then_o he_o that_o can_v find_v evidence_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n aforesaid_a and_o a_o certain_a rule_n for_o this_o interpretation_n must_v not_o be_v a_o papist_n and_o he_o that_o can_v deserve_v to_o be_v a_o pope_n your_o holiness_n
