the_o unjust_a excommunicate_a athanasius_n again_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n depose_v pope_n john_n 23._o where_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o he_o hold_v there_o be_v no_o eternal_a life_n nor_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

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

roman_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o then_o your_o contention_n whether_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v infallible_a will_v soon_o be_v end_v a_o excellent_a advice_n because_o you_o say_v all_o other_o way_n to_o judge_v and_o decide_v controversy_n be_v fallable_n you_o now_o come_v in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o inquire_v whether_o the_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a to_o teach_v we_o the_o true_a faith_n etc._n etc._n you_o say_v you_o find_v this_o high_o contend_v for_o and_o several_a reason_n urge_v for_o it_o first_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n john_n 5.39_o search_v

which_o be_v satisfactory_a i_o that_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v whether_o this_o in_o the_o original_a be_v the_o in_o perative_a or_o the_o indicative_a mood_n st._n cyril_n you_o say_v with_o who_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

you_o tell_v we_o it_o rather_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o then_o otherwise_o but_o what_o if_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o that_o those_o word_n search_v the_o scripture_n rather_o seem_v a_o command_n then_o a_o reprehension_n i_o shall_v rather_o seem_v to_o be_v infallible_a than_o you_o you_o say_v if_o it_o be_v the_o indicative_a mood_n the_o sense_n will_v run_v thus_o you_o do_v search_v the_o scripture_n and_o so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o reprehension_n but_o this_o be_v a_o sense_n contrary_a to_o chryfostome_n hom._n 39_o in_o joan._n christ_n say_v he_o send_v we_o to_o the_o

note_n upon_o this_o text_n they_o say_v that_o neither_o jew_n nor_o heretic_n find_v the_o truth_n because_o they_o search_v not_o the_o scripture_n deep_o but_o read_v superficial_o see_v rhemish_n annot._n upon_o john_n 5._o now_o see_v how_o you_o contradict_v yourselves_o you_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o command_n to_o all_o to_o read_v and_o search_v that_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 they_o do_v not_o search_v deep_a enough_o for_o if_o they_o have_v they_o may_v have_v find_v jesus_n to_o have_v be_v their_o christ_n their_o king_n lord_n life_n and_o saviour_n and_o how_o can_v the_o say_v annotator_n give_v that_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o ●ews_n and_o heretic_n do_v not_o find_v the_o truth_n because_o they_o do_v not_o search_v the_o scripture_n deep_a enough_o if_o either_o of_o these_o two_o opinion_n of_o your_o be_v true_a 1_o that_o man_n be_v reprehend_v for_o search_v the_o scripture_n 2_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o direct_v we_o to_o find_v the_o truth_n if_o the_o whole_a college_n have_v translate_v and_o interpret_v true_o then_o sure_o you_o and_o many_o of_o your_o author_n speak_v false_o but_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v the_o scripture_n may_v direct_v jew_n and_o heretic_n to_o the_o truth_n because_o they_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n than_o it_o follow_v 1_o that_o both_o jew_n and_o heretic_n ought_v to_o search_v the_o scripture_n deep_o to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n 2_o it_o must_v rest_v upon_o their_o private_a judgement_n of_o discretion_n to_o determine_v within_o themselves_o whether_o the_o romanist_n or_o the_o protestant_n be_v that_o true_a church_n after_o they_o have_v make_v this_o deep_a and_o diligent_a search_n 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 fallibleness_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o want_v of_o diligent_a and_o deep_a search_n which_o be_v use_v they_o may_v have_v find_v christ_n to_o have_v be_v their_o king_n lord_n life_n and_o saviour_n they_o may_v have_v find_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n you_o come_v in_o the_o 14_o pag._n to_o give_v a_o second_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 infallible_o be_v prove_v because_o they_o can_v be_v profitable_a to_o work_v faith_n in_o they_o that_o can_v read_v which_o you_o say_v be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n you_o say_v it_o can_v infallible_o be_v prove_v that_o those_o word_n search_v the_o scripture_n be_v in_o the_o imperative_a mood_n but_o have_v you_o that_o pretend_v to_o infallibility_n prove_v that_o they_o be_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
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

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 preserve_v the_o apostle_n from_o all_o error_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v engage_v to_o secure_v the_o church_n from_o err_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o 3_o i_o answer_v further_o if_o 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

understand_v to_o agree_v to_o his_o most_o holy_a will_n and_o pleasure_n hereupon_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o a_o few_o question_n first_o how_o be_v you_o sure_a you_o have_v a_o divine_a assistance_n in_o this_o choice_n as_o a_o answer_n to_o your_o prayer_n since_o when_o you_o make_v these_o prayer_n you_o be_v not_o a_o member_n of_o your_o pretend_a catholic_n church_n second_o how_o be_v you_o sure_a since_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v deceitful_a that_o your_o heart_n do_v not_o deceive_v you_o when_o it_o incline_v you_o to_o popery_n three_o
you_o say_v that_o if_o they_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o imperative_a mood_n they_o can_v work_v faith_n in_o those_o that_o can_v read_v but_o than_o it_o seem_v they_o may_v work_v faith_n in_o they_o that_o can_v read_v because_o as_o the_o rhemist_n say_v they_o can_v show_v both_o jew_n and_o heretic_n the_o truth_n if_o they_o search_v deep_o and_o diligent_o but_o second_o how_o can_v general_a councilsshew_n the_o truth_n and_o beget_v faith_n since_o if_o they_o be_v infallible_a every_o body_n can_v read_v their_o decree_n and_o canon_n if_o you_o say_v they_o understand_v those_o decree_n and_o canon_n by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o those_o that_o can_v read_v then_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n may_v a_o man_n that_o can_v read_v the_o scripture_n be_v guide_v by_o they_o 3_o you_o say_v that_o by_o those_o word_n search_v the_o scripture_n can_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v our_o judge_n and_o guide_v because_o than_o they_o will_v have_v exclude_v christ_n and_o after_o he_o his_o apostle_n from_o be_v the_o infallible_a mean_n by_o which_o true_a faith_n be_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o the_o world_n but_o how_o do_v this_o follow_n since_o you_o say_v the_o church_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v a_o judge_n and_o a_o infallible_a guide_n but_o do_v their_o be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n till_o christ_n exclude_v christ_n from_o be_v a_o guide_n and_o do_v christ_n being_n a_o guide_n when_o he_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n exclude_v the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o be_v a_o guide_n when_o he_o leave_v the_o earth_n in_o like_a manner_n it_o follow_v not_o because_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o of_o they_o christ_n speak_v in_o the_o place_n under_o debate_n be_v a_o guide_n to_o instruct_v man_n into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o they_o shall_v exclude_v he_o his_o spirit_n or_o apostle_n from_o be_v guide_n but_o further_o it_o follow_v by_o the_o same_o parity_n of_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n can_v not_o be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n because_o than_o they_o will_v have_v exclude_v christ_n and_o after_o he_o his_o apostle_n from_o be_v infallible_a guide_n i_o say_v it_o follow_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o if_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v infallible_a guide_n and_o judge_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o then_o they_o have_v exclude_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o be_v that_o infallible_a guide_n and_o judge_n which_o she_o pretend_v herself_o to_o be_v and_o thus_o you_o

they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v not_o by_o read_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o guide_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o why_o do_v the_o rhemist_n say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o jew_n and_o heretic_n do_v not_o find_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o king_n lord_n life_n and_o saviour_n be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o search_v the_o scripture_n deep_o sure_o you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o jew_n and_o heretic_n be_v believer_n and_o you_o say_v they_o be_v no_o guide_n to_o unbeliever_n why_o then_o do_v the_o rhemist_n say_v christ_n reprehend_v they_o for_o not_o fearch_v the_o scripture_n deep_o to_o what_o purpose_n then_o be_v jew_n and_o heretic_n blame_v for_o not_o search_v the_o scripture_n deep_o if_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v as_o you_o say_v no_o way_n profitable_a to_o they_o but_o further_o you_o say_v they_o be_v not_o profitable_a to_o they_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n suppose_v this_o be_v grant_v which_o can_v be_v prove_v do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o your_o roman_a church_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v no_o way_n profitable_a no_o way_n a_o judge_n nor_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o any_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v she_o to_o be_v so_o and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n a_o atheist_n may_v say_v all_o god_n

why_o this_o scripture_n 2_o tim._n 3.15_o be_v not_o a_o proof_n for_o what_o be_v pretend_v because_o then_o if_o the_o scripture_n more_o sole_o sufficient_a which_o timothy_n know_v from_o a_o

least_o not_o necessary_a i_o answer_v if_o by_o the_o scripture_n sole_a sufficiency_n you_o mean_v that_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o salvation_n without_o faith_n repentance_n and_o obedience_n than_o this_o be_v a_o puppet_n of_o your_o own_o as_o you_o phrase_n it_o for_o where_o be_v there_o any_o protestant_n of_o that_o mind_n therefore_o you_o do_v but_o bark_v

will_v believe_v the_o 2_o pet._n 3.16_o where_o speak_v of_o st._n paul_n epistle_n he_o say_v there_o be_v some_o thing_n hard_a to_o be_v understand_v which_o they_o that_o be_v unlearned_a and_o

in_o fundamental_o and_o in_o what_o concern_v salvation_n for_o we_o have_v here_o a_o plain_a testimony_n that_o they_o be_v wrest_v to_o their_o own_o destruction_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v a_o safe_a rule_n nor_o any_o rule_n at_o all_o to_o the_o ignorant_a etc._n etc._n though_o this_o argument_n be_v answer_v already_o yet_o i_o answer_v further_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o learned_a man_n that_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o the_o pope_n can_v infallible_o interpret_v they_o what_o a_o madness_n and_o childishness_n be_v it_o for_o the_o

one_o among_o they_o that_o infallible_o can_v interpret_v they_o and_o that_o with_o such_o authority_n as_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o rest_n in_o and_o contend_v no_o further_o and_o the_o further_a mischief_n of_o it_o be_v that_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n this_o man_n be_v always_o silent_a as_o to_o exposition_n of_o scripture_n who_o alone_o be_v able_a to_o part_v the_o fray_n now_o methinks_v this_o argue_v a_o great_a want_n of_o good_a nature_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v see_v his_o child_n so_o fierce_o wrangle_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o give_v out_o the_o infallible_a meaning_n of_o every_o place_n and_o so_o stint_v the_o strife_n among_o they_o see_v he_o can_v do_v it_o if_o he_o will_n but_o again_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o be_v by_o some_o wrest_a to_o their_o damnation_n that_o therefore_o they_o be_v either_o no_o guide_n at_o all_o or_o at_o the_o best_a but_o uncertain_a one_o pray_v let_v i_o ask_v you_o a_o question_n or_o two_o may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v no_o infallible_a guide_n because_o many_o of_o his_o word_n be_v wrest_v by_o the_o jew_n to_o their_o destruction_n as_o that_o of_o his_o destroy_v the_o temple_n and_o building_n it_o in_o three_o day_n job_n 2.19_o and_o do_v not_o they_o wrest_v his_o word_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n when_o christ_n say_v mat._n 26.64_o 65._o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o they_o thereupon_o say_v he_o have_v speak_v blasphemy_n

be_v misinterpret_v then_o the_o scripture_n or_o do_v they_o use_v more_o plainness_n of_o speech_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n use_v in_o the_o scripture_n or_o be_v nothing_o that_o they_o

or_o rather_o as_o ill_o as_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o so_o i_o demand_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o as_o good_a nay_o a_o better_a argument_n against_o themselves_o viz._n some_o wrest_v the_o

be_v hard_a to_o find_v a_o man_n that_o do_v so_o infallible_o understand_v the_o original_n as_o to_o give_v we_o a_o true_a translation_n this_o you_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v out_o of_o several_a protestant_a writer_n pag._n 20._o &_o 21._o viz._n that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o original_n themselves_o nor_o undoubted_a translation_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v already_o may_v suffice_v to_o this_o argument_n yet_o to_o make_v full_a measure_n run_v over_o let_v i_o add_v that_o this_o very_a objection_n lie_v with_o the_o like_a force_n against_o general_a council_n for_o first_o how_o do_v you_o know_v with_o a_o divine_a certitude_n that_o you_o have_v the_o true_a original_a and_o authentic_a write_n wherein_o those_o decree_n be_v contain_v second_o how_o do_v you_o know_v with_o a_o divine_a certitude_n whether_o the_o scribe_n that_o commit_v they_o to_o write_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n or_o not_o three_o how_o do_v you_o know_v with_o a_o divine_a certitude_n that_o these_o council_n decree_n and_o canon_n be_v true_o and_o infallible_o translate_v since_o they_o be_v write_v in_o a_o language_n that_o i_o know_v not_o if_o you_o say_v i_o have_v they_o translate_v by_o private_a doctor_n than_o i_o query_n if_o private_a doctor_n be_v infallible_a if_o they_o be_v what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o a_o pope_n or_o a_o general_n council_n if_o they_o be_v fallible_a why_o may_v they_o not_o fail_v when_o they_o tell_v i_o they_o have_v faithful_o interpret_v and_o translate_v the_o sense_n of_o council_n and_o father_n but_o if_o they_o be_v private_a person_n can_v give_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o council_n and_o father_n why_o may_v not_o man_n of_o the_o same_o ability_n for_o learning_n and_o piety_n give_v as_o perfect_v a_o translation_n and_o as_o infallible_a a_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o
