with_o his_o church_n not_o only_o one_o or_o two_o day_n or_o one_o year_n but_o even_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n vit_fw-mi he_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o remain_v and_o stay_v with_o we_o not_o for_o one_o on_o two_o year_n only_o but_o everlasting_o it_o be_v needful_a therefore_o that_o he_o perform_v and_o stand_v to_o his_o promise_n 28._o the_o second_o argument_n if_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v say_v of_o the_o church_n as_o judge_n be_v true_a it_o will_v also_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n be_v judge_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_n can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n or_o doubt_v of_o by_o any_o which_o profess_v christ._n for_o the_o divine_a faith_n can_v be_v without_o some_o word_n of_o god_n but_o where_o there_o be_v no_o controversy_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o judge_n but_o if_o of_o any_o one_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v write_v or_o not_o write_v there_o arise_v any_o controversy_n as_o for_o 16._o example_n of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o write_a word_n without_o doubt_n we_o must_v recurre_v unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o belong_v unto_o she_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o of_o the_o exposition_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o write_a word_n as_o also_o of_o any_o doubtful_a letter_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o see_v that_o in_o time_n past_a there_o have_v be_v many_o controversye_n of_o diverse_a book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o of_o the_o particular_a chapter_n and_o part_n thereof_o as_o also_o of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o other_o write_a point_n of_o say_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o other_o judge_n but_o the_o catholic_a church_n have_v end_v or_o define_v all_o these_o controversye_n 29._o but_o in_o this_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o that_o the_o church_n do_v not_o judge_v of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n out_o of_o her_o own_o proper_a sense_n and_o judgement_n 13._o or_o at_o she_o own_o pleasure_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o her_o adversary_n and_o namely_o calvin_n do_v wrongful_o slander_v she_o but_o by_o one_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v better_o know_v she_o judge_v of_o that_o which_o be_v less_o know_v ●…nd_v manifest_a unto_o we_o as_o for_o example_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v by_o tradition_n she_o judge_v of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o true_a sense_n thereof_o 30._o the_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o when_o the_o church_n do_v 28._o judge_v of_o these_o thing_n they_o be_v not_o man_n only_o which_o judge_n as_o our_o adversary_n pretend_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o himself_o who_o judge_v and_o speak_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o church_n it_o seem_v good_a say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o us._n for_o even_o as_o the_o action_n of_o a_o man_n body_n be_v not_o so_o proper_o the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n as_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o quicken_v and_o move_v the_o body_n so_o the_o action_n of_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v attribute_v unto_o man_n who_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n as_o unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n which_o give_v life_n and_o motion_n to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n they_o therefore_o who_o deny_v this_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o only_o injurious_a to_o the_o church_n but_o also_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n hitherto_o of_o the_o property_n office_n and_o power_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ._n it_o remain_v now_o we_o show_v such_o a_o 〈◊〉_d church_n as_o

faith_n we_o do_v not_o understand_v by_o the_o church_n the_o shoulder_n or_o body_n of_o they_o who_o be_v in_o she_o but_o their_o authority_n doctrine_n and_o preach_v for_o by_o these_o thing_n

the_o church_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n the_o preach_v and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v by_o the_o church_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n propose_v

the_o church_n do_v not_o only_o give_v a_o bare_a testimony_n but_o also_o authority_n to_o the_o scripture_n this_o matter_n be_v here_o brief_o to_o be_v examine_v that_o it_o may_v more_o clear_o be_v understand_v how_o necessary_a the_o church_n approbation_n be_v to_o the_o establish_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v more_o

to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o affirm_v that_o this_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n be_v only_o a_o bare_a testimony_n and_o not_o a_o testimony_n of_o authority_n 2._o for_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o testimony_n the_o one_o be_v call_v a_o testimony_n of_o authority_n because_o upon_o it_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n testify_v depend_v it_o be_v call_v also_o a_o necessary_a

when_o such_o a_o testimony_n be_v not_o so_o necessary_a because_o the_o matter_n be_v otherwise_o 7_o sufficient_o testify_v such_o a_o testimony_n be_v that_o which_o s._n john_n baptist_n give_v of_o christ._n for_o christ_n have_v sufficient_a testimony_n beside_o 3._o of_o the_o former_a testimony_n of_o authority_n christ_n say_v but_o i_o do_v not_o receive_v my_o 36._o testimony_n from_o

testimony_n to_o truth_n but_o this_o be_v a_o bare_a testimony_n wherefore_o 5._o christ_n a_o little_a after_o say_v i_o have_v a_o great_a testimony_n than_o john_n for_o the_o work_n which_o the_o father_n have_v give_v i_o to_o profit_v they_o the_o very_a work_n which_o i_o do_v give_v testimony_n of_o i_o that_o the_o father_n have_v send_v i_o and_o the_o father_n that_o send_v i_o himself_o have_v give_v testimony_n of_o i_o all_o which_o say_v christ_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o authority_n our_o adversary_n therefore_o say_v that_o the_o church_n give_v only_o a_o bare_a testimony_n to_o the_o scripture_n as_o s._n john_n give_v to_o christ_n but_o she_o give_v not_o a_o necessary_a testimony_n or_o that_o of_o authority_n 4._o but_o that_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n be_v altogether_o necessary_a as_o that_o 5._o whereof_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n depend_v be_v very_o manifest_a by_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o former_a

which_o book_n be_v canonical_a and_o which_o not_o beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o now_o neither_o be_v the_o miracle_n wrought_v which_o god_n do_v in_o time_n past_a neither_o do_v god_n speak_v immediate_o by_o himself_o as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o baptism_n and_o transfiguration_n of_o christ._n wherefore_o there_o remain_v only_o the_o three_o ordinary_a
