original_n of_o both_o the_o testament_n how_o can_v our_o adversary_n with_o any_o show_n of_o common_a understanding_n pretend_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o only_a judge_n with_o they_o when_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n they_o have_v no_o true_a and_o authentical_a original_a of_o such_o book_n only_o as_o themselves_o joint_o acknowledge_v for_o scripture_n what_o can_v our_o

therefore_o the_o less_o material_a but_o that_o all_o those_o passage_n &_o text_n
of_o scripture_n which_o do_v precise_o touch_v any_o point_n of_o chrystian_a religion_n be_v most_o free_a from_o all_o such_o escape_n this_o answer_n fail_v several_a way_n 8._o first_o because_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o protestant_n own_v principle_n to_o believe_v nothing_o with_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o we_o read_v not_o in_o any_o place_n or_o text_n of_o they_o that_o god_n will_v ever_o preserve_v his_o write_v word_n free_a from_o all_o corruption_n in_o essential_a point_n of_o christian_a faith_n and_o yet_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v general_o deprave_a in_o matter_n of_o lesser_a moment_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v reply_v that_o god_n sweet_a providence_n and_o care_n over_o his_o church_n require_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v free_a from_o all_o such_o main_n corruption_n this_o i_o say_v can_v satisfy_v we_o catholic_n who_o do_v teach_v that_o god_n povidence_n and_o care_n towards_o his_o church_n do_v not_o chief_o consist_v in_o preserve_v his_o write_v word_n since_o faith_n for_o which_o end_n the_o scripture_n be_v first_o write_v may_v be_v preserve_v in_o the_o church_n only_o by_o external_a preach_n and_o force_n of_o tradition_n and_o answerable_o hereunto_o we_o read_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o space_n of_o 2000_o year_n enjoy_v no_o scripture_n or_o write_v

since_o the_o contrary_n be_v manifest_a to_o omit_v diverse_a other_o which_o may_v be_v allege_v by_o the_o two_o former_a produce_v example_n out_o of_o s._n matthew_n 10._o matthew_n cap._n 10._o

point_n of_o two_o chief_a controversy_n of_o this_o time_n to_o wit_v the_o supremacy_n of_o peter_n and_o the_o real_a presence_n 10._o three_o if_o by_o our_o adversary_n acknowledgement_n all_o the_o original_n now_o extant_a be_v corrupt_v in_o place_n not_o pertain_v to_o matter_n of_o faith_n how_o can_v we_o be_v infallible_o assure_v that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o like_a sort_n corrupt_v in_o text_n of_o controversy_n of_o this_o time_n or_o of_o such_o doubt_n as_o hereafter_o may_v rise_v since_o a_o certainty_n of_o a_o error_n in_o one_o place_n do_v imply_v a_o possibility_n of_o error_n in_o any_o other_o place_n and_o yet_o this_o infallibility_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v for_o otherwise_o we_o build_v our_o faith_n upon_o such_o passage_n of_o scripture_n which_o we_o do_v but_o think_v only_a to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o uncorrupted_a word_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n that_o be_v build_v only_o upon_o a_o bare_a moral_a persuasion_n of_o the_o scripture_n integrity_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o let_v our_o adversary_n show_v some_o privilege_n &_o warrant_n which_o the_o scritpture_n have_v to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o one_o kind_n more_o than_o of_o another_o if_o they_o say_v that_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n express_v therein_o do_v demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v in_o any_o such_o fundamental_a place_n this_o be_v ridiculous_a for_o see_v that_o faith_n by_o our_o adversary_n ground_n rise_v only_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v quiddam_fw-la posterius_fw-la &_o tempore_fw-la &_o naturâ_fw-la as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o be_v late_a both_o in_o time_n and_o nature_n then_o the_o scripture_n as_o afore_o be_v show_v therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n can_v be_v the_o square_a or_o rule_v to_o measure_v the_o integrity_n &_o incorruption_n of_o the_o scripture_n thereby_o but_o itself_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o scripture_n even_o by_o their_o own_o principle_n 11._o and_o thus_o much_o to_o discover_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o first_o answer_n make_v to_o our_o argument_n draw_v from_o their_o acknowledge_a corruption_n of_o the_o original_n of_o both_o the_o testament_n or_o will_v they_o frame_v a_o second_o answer_n to_o the_o say_a argument_n say_v that_o though_o the_o original_n be_v corrupt_v yet_o there_o be_v certain_a translation_n allow_v by_o they_o which_o be_v most_o pure_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o first_o original_n before_o they_o be_v corrupt_v &_o by_o these_o all_o doubt_n and_o controversy_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v this_o shift_n be_v more_o feeble_a than_o the_o former_a first_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a how_o the_o corrupt_a original_n shall_v be_v correct_v in_o their_o translation_n there_o not_o be_v in_o the_o protestant_n judgment_n in_o the_o universal_a world_n any_o one_o true_a
