either_o from_o all_o christian_n i_o can_v so_o much_o as_o find_v there_o that_o ever_o there_o be_v any_o bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o there_o afterward_o much_o less_o that_o all_o christian_n be_v to_o own_o that_o bishop_n for_o their_o head_n and_o christ_n vicar_n and_o find_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o i_o must_v needs_o wonder_v how_o manifest_a scripture_n shall_v be_v produce_v to_o prove_v this_o supreme_a authority_n over_o all_o church_n and_o yet_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o authority_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o all_o christian_n to_o believe_v it_o and_o submit_v unto_o it_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v as_o manifest_o declare_v in_o scripture_n as_o any_o other_o point_n whatsoever_o st._n peter_n in_o who_o this_o authority_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v first_o settle_v say_v not_o a_o word_n of_o it_o in_o his_o epistle_n st._n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o

be_v much_o inferior_a to_o the_o church_n in_o authority_n they_o both_o teach_v we_o our_o duty_n and_o strange_a it_o be_v if_o they_o know_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o as_o plain_o instruct_v we_o in_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n wherein_o our_o salvation_n the_o main_a thing_n they_o be_v to_o take_v care_n for_o be_v so_o deep_o concern_v but_o what_o be_v these_o manifest_a scripture_n at_o length_n i_o find_v our_o bless_a saviour_n say_v to_o st._n peter_n matt._n 16._o 18._o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o i_o will_v give_v unto_o thou_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o find_v not_o that_o all_o this_o whatever_o it_o may_v signify_v be_v manifest_o say_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n the_o plain_a and_o obvious_a sense_n say_v bellarmin_n of_o these_o word_n be_v that_o we_o may_v understand_v 10._o the_o primary_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o be_v promise_v to_o saint_n peter_n under_o two_o metaphor_n and_o yet_o by_o all_o the_o light_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o afford_v i_o i_o can_v discern_v in_o these_o word_n whatever_o be_v promise_v to_o st._n peter_n the_o supremacy_n much_o less_o the_o monarchy_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n over_o all_o church_n and_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o a_o protestant_a heretic_n be_v so_o blind_a when_o such_o eminent_a person_n as_o origen_n st._n austin_n st._n hilary_n ambrose_n chrysostome_n and_o cyril_n can_v no_o more_o see_v it_o than_o i_o as_o the_o learned_a cardinal_n himself_o there_o confess_v nay_o here_o be_v not_o a_o word_n to_o assure_v we_o that_o this_o rock_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o monarch_n invest_v with_o a_o supremacy_n of_o power_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n or_o that_o this_o monarch_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v never_o prevail_v against_o the_o roman_a church_n for_o all_o this_o we_o must_v be_v behold_v to_o that_o church_n own_o word_n or_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v it_o in_o this_o place_n i_o find_v again_o that_o christ_n command_v st._n peter_n joh._n 21._o 16._o to_o feed_v his_o sheep_n and_o his_o lamb_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n to_o do_v and_o both_o st._n peter_n 1_o pet_n 5._o 2._o and_o st._n paul_n act_n 20._o 28._o tell_v we_o as_o much_o and_o so_o much_o the_o apt_a be_o i_o to_o doubt_v whether_o the_o pope_n be_v so_o much_o as_o a_o good_a pastor_n of_o christ_n sheep_n or_o no_o see_v he_o take_v so_o little_a care_n to_o feed_v and_o so_o much_o to_o fleece_v they_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o read_v of_o no_o more_o but_o one_o chief_a shepherd_n and_o bishop_n of_o soul_n which_o st._n peter_n tell_v we_o be_v christ_n jesus_n himself_o 1_o pet._n 2._o 25._o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o shepherd_n under_o he_o but_o where_o be_v this_o manifest_a scripture_n to_o show_v that_o st._n peter_n be_v make_v head-shepherd_n with_o commission_n to_o feed_v and_o rule_v too_o not_o only_o the_o sheep_n but_o the_o shepherd_n also_o but_o especial_o where_o be_v the_o commission_n give_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n successive_o for_o ever_o to_o govern_v the_o whole_a flock_n of_o christ_n with_o sovereign_a authority_n feed_v the_o whole_a i_o be_o sure_a he_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v many_o great_a and_o wonderful_a thing_n as_o bellarmin_n tell_v we_o be_v say_v of_o st._n peter_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o very_o deserve_o for_o he_o be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o eminent_a apostle_n but_o the_o scripture_n never_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o great_a monarch_n nor_o that_o he_o be_v bishop_n of_o rome_n nor_o that_o he_o have_v a_o throne_n or_o but_o a_o chair_n there_o and_o least_o of_o all_o that_o this_o imaginary_a monarchy_n be_v to_o descend_v unto_o the_o next_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o to_o his_o successor_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o st._n john_n who_o long_a outlive_v st._n peter_n become_v thereby_o subject_a to_o some_o of_o those_o bishop_n which_o do_v not_o well_o suit_n with_o the_o dignity_n of_o a_o apostle_n i_o read_v those_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n 1_o cor._n 12._o 21._o the_o head_n can_v say_v to_o the_o foot_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o you_o but_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o head_n and_o all_o christian_n king_n as_o well_o as_o other_o the_o foot_n i_o may_v possible_o read_v in_o some_o such_o jesuit_n as_o bellarmin_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o shall_v never_o read_v it_o in_o the_o scripture_n many_o more_o such_o parcel_n of_o scripture_n as_o these_o they_o give_v we_o but_o after_o the_o most_o serious_a perusal_n of_o they_o all_o i_o profess_v i_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n like_o manifest_a scripture_n for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v yet_o as_o plain_a to_o i_o as_o that_o two_o and_o three_o make_v five_o that_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o that_o church_n without_o any_o kind_n of_o solid_a proof_n be_v all_o that_o she_o have_v to_o show_v for_o her_o authority_n she_o say_v great_a thing_n of_o herself_o and_o talk_v sometime_o of_o scripture_n but_o much_o more_o of_o father_n and_o council_n and_o universal_a tradition_n and_o indeed_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v venerable_a but_o when_o all_o be_v spell_v and_o put_v together_o it_o be_v but_o the_o oral_n and_o practical_a tradition_n of_o the_o present_a church_n that_o be_v her_o own_o very_a confident_a asseveration_n if_o we_o have_v a_o little_a scripture_n for_o fashion_n sake_n we_o must_v take_v it_o as_o she_o have_v teach_v it_o to_o speak_v in_o she_o own_o vulgar_a latin_a which_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v even_o then_o please_v to_o make_v the_o only_a authentic_a translation_n when_o it_o be_v confess_o very_o faulty_a and_o have_v be_v since_o that_o divers_a time_n correct_v and_o then_o we_o must_v take_v it_o in_o her_o own_o sense_n too_o though_o we_o know_v not_o well_o where_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v it_o her_o private_a doctor_n she_o will_v not_o allow_v we_o to_o trust_v for_o it_o nor_o indeed_o do_v we_o find_v they_o any_o better_o agree_v about_o it_o than_o other_o be_v only_o they_o have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n either_o the_o modesty_n or_o cunning_a to_o refer_v all_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o mother_n church_n can_v they_o but_o tell_v we_o where_o to_o find_v it_o for_o she_o be_v loath_a once_o for_o all_o in_o some_o public_a comment_n or_o exposition_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v if_o we_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o hear_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o father_n she_o must_v stand_v at_o their_o elbow_n and_o prompt_v they_o what_o to_o say_v we_o must_v have_v they_o in_o her_o own_o approve_a edition_n and_o if_o they_o have_v be_v at_o school_n long_o enough_o in_o the_o vatican_n or_o some_o religious_a house_n it_o be_v probable_a they_o be_v reasonable_o well_o instruct_v in_o she_o own_o language_n before_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o go_v abroad_o again_o however_o ere_o they_o pass_v the_o press_n a_o expurgatory_n index_n can_v teach_v they_o either_o to_o speak_v or_o to_o be_v silent_a as_o
