i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a trial_n of_o doctrine_n private_a and_o publyke_a private_a whereby_o every_o one_o do_v establish_v his_o own_o faith_n that_o he_o may_v rest_v safe_o in_o that_o doctrine_n which_o he_o know_v to_o have_v come_v from_o god_n neither_o shall_v conscience_n find_v other_o where_o safe_a and_o quiet_a rest_a place_n then_o in_o god_n the_o publyke_a

themselves_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n this_o remedy_n be_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o faithful_a come_v together_o and_o seek_v the_o mean_a of_o a_o holy_a and_o pure_a consent_n but_o see_v that_o that_o old_a proverb_n be_v too_o ●rue_a how_o many_o head_n so_o many_o wit_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o be_v the_o singular_a work_n of_o god_n that_o all_o overthwart_a be_v master_v he_o make_v we_o to_o think_v all_o one_o thing_n and_o to_o grow_v into_o a_o holy_a unity_n of_o faith_n and_o whereas_o under_o this_o pretence_n whatsoever_o thing_n be_v at_o any_o time_n decree_v in_o counsel_n the_o papist_n will_v have_v to_o be_v take_v for_o true_a oracle_n because_o the_o church_n do_v once_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v of_o god_n that_o be_v too_o childish_a for_o howsoever_o that_o be_v a_o ordinary_a way_n to_o seek_v a_o consent_n to_o gather_v a_o godly_a and_o a_o holy_a counsel_n where_o the_o controversy_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v determine_v yet_o god_n have_v never_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o decree_n of_o every_o counsel_n nor_o yet_o so_o soon_o as_o a_o hundred_o or_o more_o bishop_n be_v come_v together_o into_o one_o certain_a place_n it_o by_o and_o by_o follow_v that_o they_o have_v right_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o ask_v at_o his_o mouth_n what_o be_v the_o truth_n yea_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o apparent_a then_o that_o they_o have_v often_o go_v a_o side_n from_o the_o sincere_a word_n of_o god_n therefore_o here_o also_o ought_v the_o trial_n which_o the_o apostle_n prescribe_v to_o be_v of_o force_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v try_v 2_o in_o this_o know_v you_o he_o annex_v a_o special_a mark_n whereby_o one_o may_v better_o discern_v true_a prophet_n

who_o all_o heretic_n do_v stumble_v therefore_o so_o long_o as_o we_o remain_v in_o christ_n the_o matter_n be_v safe_a but_o when_o we_o go_v aside_o from_o he_o faith_n be_v perysh_v and_o all_o truth_n be_v make_v void_a but_o we_o may_v remember_v what_o this_o confession_n contain_v for_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v hence_o we_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v with_o the_o father_n before_o whereby_o be_v show_v his_o eternal_a deity_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o signify_v that_o in_o put_v on_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v make_v a_o very_a man_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o we_o that_o he_o may_v be_v our_o brother_n save_v that_o he_o be_v free_a from_o all_o sin_n and_o corruption_n final_o when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v come_v we_o must_v consider_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o come_n for_o he_o be_v not_o send_v of_o his_o father_n in_o vain_a héereuppon_o depend_v the_o office_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n therefore_o even_o as_o the_o old_a heretic_n have_v err_v from_o this_o faith_n part_o deny_v the_o divine_a nature_n and_o part_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n even_o so_o do_v the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n albeit_o they_o do_v confess_v christ_n to_o be_v god_n and_o man_n yet_o they_o hold_v ●ot_n this_o confession_n which_o the_o apostle_n require_v because_o they_o spoil_v christ_n of_o

doctrine_n of_o godliness_n therefore_o we_o must_v fix_v and_o cast_v our_o eye_n thither_o lest_o we_o be_v deceive_v and_o in_o truth_n christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o

the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v make_v the_o sleyghtes_n which_o seduce_v we_o from_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o more_o detestable_a for_o we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o kingdom_n
