he_o answer_v let_v it_o be_v so_o but_o what_o follow_v here_o but_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o unerring_a interpreter_n what_o follow_v why_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o can_v prove_v transubstantiation_n from_o scripture_n without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v not_o scripture_n but_o their_o church_n they_o rely_v on_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o their_o doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n the_o footman_n intend_v to_o prove_v by_o it_o and_o have_v do_v it_o effectual_o but_o how_o a_o unerring_a interpreter_n follow_v from_o hence_o i_o can_v see_v unless_o it_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o to_o be_v in_o scripture_n which_o the_o most_o search_a and_o inquisitive_a man_n can_v find_v there_o and_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o

the_o next_o place_n to_o show_v they_o how_o absurd_a it_o be_v to_o dispute_v even_o about_o a_o infallible_a judge_n i_o direct_v our_o protestant_a to_o ask_v they_o whether_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n must_v be_v resolve_v into_o every_o man_n private_a judgement_n 11._o whether_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o believe_v this_o with_o a_o divine_a faith_n and_o whether_o

he_o call_v a_o moral_a infallibility_n and_o show_v by_o what_o step_n it_o may_v fasten_v on_o god_n veracity_n and_o with_o a_o submission_n not_o capable_a of_o any_o doubt_n embrace_v the_o reveal_v truth_n now_o all_o this_o amount_n to_o no_o more_o than_o protestant_a certainty_n void_a of_o all_o doubt_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v never_o yet_o allow_v to_o be_v a_o divine_a and_o infallible_a faith._n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o my_o question_n which_o be_v not_o whether_o a_o divine_a faith_n require_v a_o divine_a revelation_n but_o whether_o there_o can_v be_v any_o divine_a faith_n without_o a_o infallible_a judge_n which_o it_o seem_v he_o dare_v not_o own_o nor_o say_v one_o word_n to_o and_o yet_o here_o lie_v the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n as_o i_o tell_v he_o in_o the_o same_o place_n if_o we_o must_v believe_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o a_o infallible_a faith_n there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o dispute_v for_o no_o reason_n or_o argument_n not_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n itself_o which_o i_o hope_v he_o mean_v by_o his_o divine_a revelation_n without_o a_o infallible_a judge_n can_v beget_v a_o infallible_a faith_n according_a to_o the_o roman_a doctor_n for_o this_o reason_n they_o charge_v the_o protestant_a faith_n with_o uncertainty_n and_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v a_o divine_a but_o humane_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o firm_a reason_n the_o best_a authority_n and_o the_o most_o express_a scripture_n that_o can_v be_v have_v for_o any_o thing_n but_o because_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o rely_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o live_a infallible_a judge_n forsooth_o our_o faith_n be_v uncertain_a humane_a and_o fallible_a this_o he_o know_v to_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o know_v that_o he_o can_v not_o build_v the_o belief_n of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n unless_o he_o can_v find_v one_o infallible_a judge_n to_o give_v testimony_n to_o the_o infallibility_n of_o another_o and_o a_o three_o to_o give_v testimony_n to_o the_o second_o and_o thus_o to_o dance_v round_o in_o a_o circle_n of_o infallibility_n without_o find_v any_o beginning_n or_o end_n and_o therefore_o he_o slip_v this_o pretence_n of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n and_o will_v found_v a_o divine_a faith_n upon_o revelation_n or_o prudential_a motive_n of_o credibility_n which_o indeed_o be_v to_o quit_v infallibility_n and_o to_o take_v up_o with_o a_o protestant_a moral_n certainty_n or_o moral_a infallibility_n as_o he_o call_v it_o that_o he_o may_v retain_v the_o name_n at_o least_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v lose_v nay_o he_o give_v a_o substantial_a reason_n against_o a_o infallible_a faith_n of_o the_o church_n infallibility_n for_o if_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n be_v more_o than_o moral_o evident_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o heresy_n shall_v be_v the_o wise_a word_n that_o he_o have_v say_v yet_o but_o i_o shall_v make_v he_o repent_v of_o say_v it_o before_o i_o have_v do_v for_o this_o be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n against_o infallibility_n he_o say_v we_o can_v have_v no_o more_o than_o a_o moral_a evidence_n for_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a and_o our_o faith_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n than_o we_o can_v have_v no_o more_o than_o a_o moral_a evidence_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n or_o any_o article_n of_o it_o for_o as_o i_o argue_v in_o that_o very_a place_n though_o the_o judge_n be_v infallible_a if_o i_o be_v not_o infallible_o assure_v of_o this_o if_o i_o have_v only_o a_o moral_a evidence_n of_o his_o infallibility_n i_o can_v never_o arrive_v to_o infallibility_n in_o any_o thing_n or_o can_v never_o get_v high_o than_o a_o moral_a certainty_n for_o i_o can_v never_o be_v more_o certain_a that_o his_o determination_n be_v infallible_a than_o i_o be_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v infallible_a and_o if_o i_o have_v but_o à_fw-fr moral_a assurance_n of_o this_o i_o can_v be_v but_o moral_o assure_v of_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o building_n can_v be_v more_o firm_a than_o the_o foundation_n be_v and_o thus_o there_o be_v a_o end_n to_o all_o the_o roman_a pretence_n to_o infallibility_n though_o he_o slip_v this_o at_o first_o read_v i_o hope_v he_o may_v judge_v it_o worth_a answer_v upon_o second_o thought_n but_o how_o he_o will_v get_v rid_v of_o his_o own_o reason_n i_o can_v guess_v if_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n be_v more_o than_o moral_o evident_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o heresy_n shall_v be_v by_o which_o he_o either_o mean_n that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la the_o be_v of_o heresy_n in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o sensible_a argument_n that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a assurance_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n for_o a_o infallible_a proof_n can_v be_v resist_v and_o then_o all_o the_o world_n must_v believe_v the_o church_n infallibility_n and_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o heresy_n or_o else_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o since_o there_o must_v be_v heresy_n in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o therefore_o god_n have_v give_v we_o no_o more_o than_o a_o moral_a evidence_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n because_o a_o infallible_a assurance_n of_o this_o will_v have_v prevent_v all_o heresy_n which_o god_n it_o seem_v for_o very_o wise_a reason_n do_v not_o intend_v thus_o irresistible_o to_o prevent_v now_o right_o to_o understand_v this_o matter_n i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v why_o they_o say_v god_n have_v bestow_v infallibility_n on_o the_o church_n be_v it_o not_o to_o prevent_v heresy_n and_o schism_n be_v not_o this_o the_o popish_a objection_n against_o the_o protestant_a resolution_n of_o faith_n that_o for_o want_v of_o a_o infallible_a guide_n man_n fall_v into_o error_n and_o heresy_n and_o divide_v and_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n with_o schism_n be_v not_o this_o the_o great_a reason_n they_o urge_v for_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o prevent_v all_o heresy_n and_o schism_n and_o yet_o now_o it_o seem_v there_o must_v be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o moral_a evidence_n for_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n that_o there_o may_v be_v heresy_n how_o often_o have_v they_o be_v tell_v by_o protestant_a divine_n that_o if_o god_n intend_v a_o infallible_a judge_n to_o prevent_v all_o heresy_n the_o be_v of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o evident_a and_o demonstrable_a as_o
by_o the_o church_n representative_a so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a after_o the_o explanation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n still_o i_o say_v every_o protestant_n will_v acknowledge_v that_o this_o faith_n be_v infallible_o true_a for_o we_o believe_v the_o faith_n deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v infallible_o true_a and_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o same_o faith_n be_v still_o teach_v by_o the_o church_n whether_o in_o or_o out_o of_o council_n it_o matter_n not_o it_o must_v be_v infallible_o true_a still_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o little_a difference_n between_o we_o and_o the_o jesuit_n he_o believe_v and_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o present_a faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n viz._n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v that_o faith_n which_o be_v receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n preserve_v in_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o only_o explain_v upon_o occasion_n by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n which_o be_v the_o church_n representative_a this_o we_o deny_v this_o we_o know_v this_o we_o can_v and_o often_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a and_o i_o beseech_v you_o what_o great_a infallibility_n can_v any_o church_n pretend_v to_o than_o to_o have_v the_o world_n receive_v all_o her_o decree_n as_o infallible_o true_a but_o they_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o either_o th●_n whole_a church_n or_o any_o person_n or_o person_n in_o it_o be_v hold_v to_o possess_v any_o intrinsic_a infallibility_n which_o they_o own_v to_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o thank_v they_o for_o nothing_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n or_o pope_n or_o council_n be_v by_o nature_n infallible_a for_o all_o the_o world_n will_v laugh_v at_o they_o if_o they_o do_v we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o he_o add_v that_o they_o can_v of_o themselves_o deceive_v we_o but_o that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n direct_v they_o by_o his_o infallible_a spirit_n it_o can_v possible_o happen_v that_o they_o shall_v deceive_v we_o the_o modesty_n of_o a_o jesuit_n who_o claim_v no_o more_o infallibility_n for_o the_o pope_n and_o general_n council_n than_o the_o apostle_n have_v and_o wonder_v any_o man_n shall_v grudge_v they_o this_o since_o they_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o a_o intrinsic_a infallibility_n not_o to_o be_v infallible_a by_o nature_n but_o only_o by_o grace_n thus_o he_o add_v that_o they_o do_v not_o pre●end_v to_o new_a revelation_n and_o light_n nor_o admit_v any_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n though_o where_o a_o doubt_n arise_v the_o church-hath_a infallible_o power_n to_o declare_v what_o have_v be_v reveal_v by_o christ_n to_o the_o apostle_n and_o preach_v by_o they_o which_o perhaps_o some_o part_n of_o the_o church_n may_v have_v have_v a_o less_o clear_a understanding_n thereof_o but_o this_o be_v do_v not_o by_o make_v any_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o more_o clear_o deliver_v what_o be_v ever_o believe_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o catholic_n from_o their_o time_n to_o this_o that_o be_v to_o say_v what_o ever_o the_o church_n determine_v though_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o former_a age_n know_v nothing_o of_o it_o yet_o it_o must_v not_o be_v call_v a_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o a_o declare_v what_o have_v be_v reveal_v by_o christ_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o preach_v by_o they_o though_o the_o world_n have_v long_o since_o forget_v it_o whatever_o the_o church_n determine_v to_o day_n we_o must_v believe_v to_o have_v be_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o apostolic_a age_n though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o evidence_n nor_o symptom_n of_o it_o but_o because_o the_o church_n which_o be_v infallible_a say_v so_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o infallibility_n the_o church_n pretend_v too_o a_o very_a small_a matter_n to_o be_v deny_v she_o by_o christian_n it_o be_v only_o to_o believe_v whatever_o she_o say_v without_o dispute_v or_o

of_o my_o way_n to_o see_v what_o fine_a thing_n he_o have_v to_o say_v of_o the_o church_n infallibility_n which_o he_o promise_v a_o very_a favourable_a representation_n of_o but_o it_o be_v all_o the_o old_a cant_fw-mi still_o a_o little_a disguise_v by_o some_o ignorant_a blunder_n or_o artificial_a nonsense_n as_o for_o his_o proof_n of_o this_o infallibility_n i_o be_o not_o concern_v with_o they_o at_o present_a and_o after_o so_o many_o discourse_n on_o that_o argument_n they_o need_v no_o answer_n another_o argument_n whereby_o i_o prove_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v dispute_v into_o popery_n which_o deny_v we_o the_o use_n of_o our_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a by_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o man_n must_v not_o use_v their_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o to_o dispute_v be_v to_o appeal_v to_o reason_n and_o to_o dispute_v against_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o religion_n be_v to_o appeal_v to_o reason_n against_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o man_n must_v use_v their_o reason_n to_o come_v to_o this_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v reveal_v what_o they_o believe_v now_o i_o will_v desire_v no_o more_o but_o this_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o must_v use_v our_o reason_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o no_o man_n at_o this_o day_n can_v know_v what_o be_v reveal_v without_o it_o i_o do_v assert_v and_o let_v he_o disprove_v i_o when_o he_o can_v that_o since_o god_n have_v give_v we_o reason_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v knowable_a by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o a_o stand_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o manner_n in_o the_o

which_o plain_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o reason_n or_o a_o stand_a revelation_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v judge_v of_o man_n pretence_n to_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o doctrine_n they_o

can_v the_o jesuit_n conclusion_n come_v in_o here_o catholic_n be_v as_o certain_a of_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n as_o protestant_n be_v that_o they_o have_v the_o letter_n for_o the_o

that_o protestant_n have_v much_o the_o advantage_n of_o papist_n because_o beside_o that_o general_a assurance_n they_o have_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o
