when_o the_o congregation_n just_o reject_v it_o do_v not_o therefore_o just_o reject_v because_o the_o man_n will_v not_o embrace_v its_o tenet_n or_o stand_v to_o its_o judgement_n but_o because_o he_o reject_v the_o doctrine_n which_o come_v from_o god_n and_o that_o doctrine_n of_o such_o consequence_n that_o it_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v know_v to_o salvation_n likewise_o when_o a_o particular_a congregation_n allow_v of_o one_o tenet_n disallow_n of_o another_o it_o do_v not_o impose_v a_o law_n upon_o any_o man_n belief_n but_o only_o declare_v its_o own_o faith_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n at_o least_o in_o the_o more_o principal_a point_n of_o doctrine_n may_v know_v that_o he_o belong_v not_o to_o that_o society_n for_o there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v some_o kind_n of_o government_n that_o the_o congregation_n may_v not_o be_v force_v to_o communicate_v in_o religious_a service_n with_o that_o man_n of_o who_o she_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v not_o any_o way_n relate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n neither_o have_v any_o right_n to_o the_o privilege_n thereof_o hence_o we_o may_v easy_o understand_v and_o in_o one_o word_n express_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o council_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o who_o make_v themselves_o their_o successor_n be_v they_o who_o they_o will_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o apostle_n be_v by_o name_n choose_v by_o our_o lord_n himself_o to_o the_o office_n of_o apostleship_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o large_a measure_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o spirit_n will_v lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n now_o there_o be_v no_o testimony_n of_o any_o such_o concern_v any_o of_o their_o successor_n we_o be_v leave_v only_o to_o conjecture_v what_o they_o be_v by_o their_o word_n and_o action_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o counterfeit_v and_o fraud_n in_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n man_n be_v not_o to_o mind_n so_o much_o what_o be_v judge_v and_o determine_v as_o by_o who_o it_o be_v so_o determine_v so_o that_o they_o need_v not_o with_o many_o word_n to_o render_v a_o reason_n why_o they_o so_o ordain_v contrariwise_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o their_o successor_n it_o matter_n not_o so_o much_o who_o they_o be_v that_o decree_n a_o thing_n as_o what_o that_o thing_n be_v which_o they_o so_o decree_v what_o testimony_n they_o produce_v from_o scripture_n how_o clear_o and_o manifest_o those_o testimony_n do_v teach_v the_o point_n determine_v so_o that_o doctrine_n of_o luther_n that_o we_o be_v save_v only_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n be_v embrace_v by_o we_o yet_o do_v not_o we_o look_v upon_o luther_n but_o upon_o those_o testimony_n which_o be_v by_o he_o cite_v from_o scripture_n which_o also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o internal_a expositor_n witness_n to_o our_o spirit_n that_o they_o teach_v the_o same_o otherwise_o be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o let_v they_o be_v pious_a learned_a holy_a yea_o very_o let_v they_o be_v angel_n of_o heaven_n unless_o thou_o shall_v perceive_v that_o what_o they_o affirm_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o thou_o to_o suffer_v thy_o eye_n to_o be_v dazzle_v with_o the_o splendour_n and_o pomp_n of_o a_o council_n howbeit_o fit_v it_o be_v to_o attribute_v so_o much_o authority_n to_o a_o council_n unless_o it_o be_v of_o such_o as_o be_v manifest_o enemy_n to_o truth_n as_o not_o rash_o to_o reject_v the_o judgement_n thereof_o but_o let_v every_o man_n diligent_o weigh_v the_o same_o desire_v earnest_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v judge_v aright_o hence_o likewise_o we_o may_v conjecture_v who_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o a_o council_n for_o since_o they_o do_v not_o meet_v to_o make_v any_o law_n of_o faith_n but_o rather_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o who_o they_o may_v be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n and_o in_o a_o word_n to_o learn_v it_o will_v not_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o that_o must_v be_v admit_v shall_v be_v a_o bishop_n or_o a_o archbishop_n or_o a_o pope_n nor_o yet_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v famous_a for_o learning_n nay_o rather_o no_o reason_n there_o be_v why_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v exclude_v that_o appear_v to_o be_v possess_v of_o any_o measure_n of_o piety_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o we_o see_v in_o that_o same_o decree_n of_o the_o apostolical_a council_n after_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n the_o whole_a church_n be_v name_v for_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o any_o dignity_n or_o to_o any_o certain_a kind_n of_o person_n who_o know_v by_o who_o god_n will_v choose_v to_o discover_v the_o truth_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v not_o to_o regard_v any_o number_n of_o voice_n but_o only_o what_o that_o be_v which_o be_v say_v although_o some_o foolish_a indiscreet_a person_n or_o a_o man_n that_o make_v only_o a_o show_n of_o godliness_n shall_v be_v admit_v they_o can_v do_v much_o hurt_n for_o we_o must_v count_v every_o man_n to_o be_v such_o as_o his_o speech_n shall_v declare_v he_o to_o be_v and_o thus_o we_o have_v declare_v by_o what_o mean_v the_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n come_v to_o be_v corrupt_v and_o what_o caution_n we_o be_v to_o
