not_o only_o a_o power_n over_o all_o bishop_n but_o prince_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n neither_o by_o himself_o nor_o with_o all_o his_o cardinal_n and_o counsel_n to_o determine_v any_o matter_n of_o faith_n i_o prove_v thus_o by_o scripture_n 1_o we_o find_v in_o isay_n that_o we_o be_v command_v to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n 8.20_o isay_n 8.20_o if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o this_o word_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v command_v to_o their_o law_n and_o to_o their_o testemony_n 16.29_o luke_n 16.29_o so_o be_v we_o christian_n to_o our_o scripture_n for_o our_o judge_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o difference_n so_o our_o saviour_n bring_v abraham_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v that_o they_o have_v moses_n &_o the_o prophet_n let_v they_o hear_v they_o woe_n be_v not_o therefore_o to_o have_v recourse_n for_o any_o matter_n of_o faith_n to_o pope_n or_o any_o power_n else_o whatsoever_o 2_o again_o our_o saviour_n command_v we_o thus_o starch_n the_o scripture_n for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v you_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o 5.39_o john_n 5.39_o christ_n therefore_o remit_v we_o to_o scripture_n only_o for_o a_o judge_n of_o controversy_n 3_o again_o we_o find_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o those_o of_o berea_n be_v commend_v &_o acknowledgee_v to_o be_v more_o noble_a than_o those_o of_o thessalonie_n 17.11_o act_n 17.11_o in_o that_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o all_o redyness_n of_o mind_n and_o searth_v the_o scripture_n daily_o whether_o those_o thing_n be_v so_o here_o we_o find_v i_o say_v that_o those_o of_o berea_n do_v not_o overhasty_o believe_v what_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o deliver_v to_o they_o but_o do_v examine_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n be_v it_o not_o therefore_o fit_a that_o we_o shall_v follow_v their_o example_n and_o acknowledge_v nothing_o but_o scripture_n for_o our_o rule_n and_o judge_v 4_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o reason_n that_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n ought_v to_o be_v infallible_a for_o if_o the_o judge_n shall_v err_v all_o that_o follow_v his_o judgement_n must_v err_v likewise_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a on_o tone_n side_n that_o scripture_n be_v infallible_a be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v err_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o all_o man_n be_v liar_n and_o subject_a to_o error_n as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o roman_n 111_o rom._n 3.4_o psal_n 111_o god_n be_v true_a but_o every_o man_n be_v a_o liar_n now_o the_o pope_n be_v but_o a_o man_n all_o the_o cardinal_n be_v but_o man_n nay_o counsel_n themselves_o be_v but_o collection_n of_o man_n no_o man_n therefore_o that_o build_v himself_o upon_o their_o judgement_n in_o point_n of_o faith_n can_v have_v any_o security_n at_o all_o but_o only_o by_o depend_v upon_o the_o infallible_a and_o true_a p●●le_n of_o scripture_n 5_o counsel_n we_o know_v have_v err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o make_v decree_n one_o against_o another_o at_o least_o alter_v one_o another_o constitution_n and_o if_o that_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o counsel_n be_v to_o be_v why_o shall_v not_o lay_v man_n be_v make_v a_o part_n of_o they_o since_o they_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n as_o well_o as_o any_o priest_n or_o bishop_n and_o their_o salvation_n as_o much_o concern_v in_o those_o decree_n as_o any_o clergy_n man_n whatsoever_o it_o shall_v be_v therefore_o as_o necessary_a for_o they_o to_o be_v present_a there_o that_o the_o scripture_n itself_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o entire_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o neither_o your_o whole_a church_n nor_o all_o the_o tradition_n of_o it_o have_v any_o power_n to_o prescribe_v to_o to_o we_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n i_o prove_v thus_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n be_v great_a than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o scripture_n the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o know_v be_v to_o yield_v to_o no_o

of_o those_o legality_n we_o find_v again_o in_o the_o last_o of_o st._n matthew_n christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o

show_v you_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o next_o argument_n but_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o this_o text_n out_o of_o deuteronomy_n which_o you_o press_v so_o hard_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n unless_o you_o can_v think_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n the_o jew_n be_v bind_v perfect_o and_o entire_o to_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o moses_n therefore_o christian_n must_v not_o admit_v of_o apostolical_a tradition_n but_o be_v content_a with_o only_a scripture_n which_o i_o think_v no_o reasonable_a man_n will_v take_v for_o other_o than_o a_o absutd_v and_o ridiculous_a consequence_n but_o that_o the_o business_n may_v be_v more_o clear_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v of_o you_o whether_o those_o command_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o jew_n only_o or_o to_o we_o christian_n as_o well_o as_o they_o if_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o why_o do_v you_o allege_v that_o text_n against_o we_o or_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o those_o precept_n if_o they_o belong_v to_o we_o christian_n likewise_o why_o do_v not_o you_o keep_v all_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n why_o do_v not_o all_o

do_v you_o urge_v the_o first_o particle_n of_o the_o text_n against_o we_o you_o shall_v not_o add_v and_o do_v not_o in_o like_a manner_n urge_v against_o yourselves_o you_o shall_v not_o diminish_v but_o i_o fear_v i_o have_v be_v too_o long_o in_o this_o to_o the_o three_o i_o wonder_v true_o how_o you_o can_v infer_v from_o that_o text_n that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o what_o god_n

the_o command_n of_o their_o father_n jonadab_n in_o a_o perpetual_a abstinence_n from_o wine_n what_o will_v you_o think_v of_o the_o apostle_n who_o in_o their_o council_n at_o jerusalem_n command_v

otherwise_o then_o what_o you_o will_v impose_v upon_o it_o for_o as_o in_o your_o last_o argument_n you_o press_v a_o text_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o general_a of_o all_o the_o

ecclesiastical_a a_o most_o excellent_a consequence_n so_o fare_v it_o well_o to_o the_o four_o i_o answer_v that_o your_o argument_n will_v be_v much_o better_o employ_v upon_o yourselves_o then_o against_o we_o and_o in_o this_o manner_n i_o retort_v it_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v preach_v another_o gospel_n than_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n himself_o preach_v let_v he_o be_v anathema_n but_o you_o preach_v another_o gospel_n besides_o nay_o against_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v &_o preach_v because_o do_v manifest_o oppose_v tradition_n which_o he_o command_v we_o to_o keep_v when_o he_o say_v hold_v fast_o tradition_n therefore_o you_o be_v to_o be_v anathema_n but_o to_o answer_v yet_o more_o close_o to_o what_o you_o urge_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n whether_o his_o intention_n be_v there_o ro_o condemn_v all_o tradition_n or_o only_o this_o 5.1_o g●l_n 2.16_o c._n 1.6_o c._n 3.1_o c._n 4.9_o etc._n etc._n 5.1_o that_o the_o galation_n be_v teach_v by_o st._n paul_n that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o mosaical_a law_n be_v abrogate_a and_o that_o not_o any_o man_n

because_o they_o be_v not_o against_o that_o which_o st._n paul_n preach_v te_fw-mi the_o galatian_n concern_v justification_n but_o rather_o they_o be_v that_o very_a thing_n which_o he_o preach_v
