rule_n without_o the_o church_n but_o the_o church_n can_v without_o the_o scripture_n the_o replier_n like_o a_o fair_a adversary_n mention_n that_o which_o look_v like_o a_o objection_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n before_o the_o scripture_n 37._o be_v write_v and_o some_o age_n be_v pass_v before_o the_o canon_n of_o scripture_n be_v make_v and_o own_v by_o the_o church_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o i_o say_v the_o church_n can_v be_v a_o rule_n without_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v upon_o the_o supposition_n that_o the_o canon_n of_o scripture_n have_v be_v long_o since_o own_v by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o church_n derive_v its_o infallibility_n from_o the_o promise_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o defender_n go_v another_o way_n to_o work_v for_o say_v he_o the_o scripture_n i_o say_v may_v be_v a_o rule_n without_o the_o church_n that_o be_v 72._o without_o faithful_a for_o a_o congregation_n of_o they_o be_v a_o church_n what!_o in_o the_o sense_n now_o before_o we_o as_o it_o be_v take_v for_o a_o guide_n be_v every_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a a_o church_n in_o this_o sense_n then_o welfare_n the_o independent_o and_o this_o methinks_v make_v infallibility_n sink_v very_o low_a i_o do_v not_o say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o church_n before_o scripture_n nor_o that_o they_o have_v then_o no_o rule_n of_o faith_n nor_o that_o the_o church_n depend_v on_o writing_n these_o be_v but_o mean_a objection_n but_o i_o ●ill_v say_v that_o where_o a_o church_n challenge_v her_o authority_n by_o the_o scripture_n it_o can_v signify_v nothing_o without_o it_o which_o be_v so_o plain_a that_o i_o need_v not_o multiply_v word_n about_o it_o as_o to_o his_o church-security_n we_o have_v consider_v it_o enough_o already_o but_o it_o will_v make_v one_o mistrust_v a_o security_n which_o be_v so_o often_o offer_v i_o say_v that_o suppose_v infallibility_n be_v find_v in_o scripture_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o hard_a point_n to_o get_v over_o viz._n how_o the_o promise_v relate_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n come_v to_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o hence_o he_o inser_n that_o i_o have_v at_o last_o find_v the_o promise_n of_o 73._o infallibility_n to_o the_o church_n there_o be_v not_o this_o a_o rare_a consequence_n suppose_v i_o shall_v say_v i_o know_v a_o book_n of_o controversy_n in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v very_o little_a of_o true_a reason_v in_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v there_o it_o do_v not_o reach_v to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n do_v this_o imply_v that_o i_o affirm_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n what_o i_o deny_v before_o be_v this_o find_v out_o true_a reason_v in_o the_o latter_a period_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o former_a there_o may_v be_v true_a reason_v when_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n so_o there_o may_v be_v infallibility_n and_o yet_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n not_o concern_v in_o it_o suppose_v the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n as_o the_o mother_n church_n may_v be_v infallible_a by_o the_o promise_v of_o scripture_n what_o will_v this_o be_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o i_o never_o say_v or_o thought_n that_o there_o be_v any_o promise_n of_o infallibility_n make_v to_o any_o church_n in_o scripture_n promise_n of_o divine_a assistance_n and_o indefectibility_n i_o grant_v be_v make_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_a but_o these_o be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n from_o promise_n of_o infallibility_n in_o deliver_v matter_n of_o faith_n in_o all_o age_n yet_o if_o this_o be_v grant_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o it_o take_v in_o all_o of_o her_o communion_n have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o challenge_v it_o to_o herself_o than_o europe_n have_v to_o be_v call_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n as_o to_o his_o sandy_a foundation_n i_o tell_v he_o in_o short_a he_o that_o build_v 74._o his_o faith_n

show_v that_o in_o many_o of_o the_o point_n in_o difference_n we_o have_v express_v word_n of_o scripture_n for_o we_o as_o against_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n and_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o

show_v that_o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o to_o what_o their_o church_n say_v i_o or_o contrariwise_o 75._o he_o talk_v much_o before_o that_o we_o give_v the_o same_o answer_v the_o old_a heretic_n do_v and_o now_o i_o think_v he_o have_v match_v they_o show_v we_o say_v they_o in_o term_n the_o direct_a contrary_n to_o our_o proposition_n where_o the_o son_n be_v say_v to_o be_v

after_o the_o union_n will_v reason_n and_o consequence_n signify_v nothing_o when_o found_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o need_v not_o this_o answer_n for_o i_o assirm_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o commandment_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o of_o s._n paul_n 14._o of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o

another_o way_n as_o well_o as_o these_o and_o herein_o we_o go_v not_o upon_o our_o own_o fancy_n but_o we_o have_v the_o concurrent_a sense_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o best_a and_o most_o primitive_a age_n in_o every_o one_o of_o the_o point_n here_o mention_v and_o whether_o we_o be_v right_a as_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n 30._o and_o as_o to_o

by_o this_o the_o bread_n be_v mean_v i_o dare_v promise_n to_o become_v hi●_n proscly●●_n 5._o the_o last_o thing_n object_v be_v that_o our_o church_n s●bsists_v only_o on_o the_o pleasure_n of_o

the_o single_a question_n be_v whether_o your_o church_n will_v allow_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o plain_a evidence_n of_o sense_n one_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o

one_o too_o the_o author_n of_o the_o defence_n say_v all_o this_o riddle_n of_o part_n and_o ●_o whole_o come_v from_o my_o inadvertence_n how_o so_o because_o i_o confound_v the_o roman_a diocese_n

be_v the_o one_o catholic_n church_n do_v not_o catholic_n signify_v all_o the_o part_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o ought_v to_o do_v so_o but_o i_o say_v it_o do_v not_o when_o roman_a be_v join_v to_o
