mr._n walker_n master_n walker_n answer_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n never_o judge_v as_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o

opinion_n for_o all_o singular_a opinion_n of_o private_a man_n be_v vain_a error_n if_o they_o be_v true_a they_o can_v not_o be_v singular_a see_v all_o truth_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a therefore_o the_o protestant_a preacher_n which_o you_o name_v do_v grant_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n from_o which_o you_o can_v pick_v no_o advantage_n to_o help_v you_o for_o you_o when_o you_o appeal_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n do_v in_o many_o thing_n differ_v from_o this_o truth_n first_o by_o the_o

your_o religion_n be_v as_o if_o a_o bastard_n shall_v seek_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o whore_n his_o mother_n whether_o he_o be_v lawful_o beget_v which_o he_o know_v she_o will_v affirm_v and_o

you_o understand_v such_o a_o judge_a power_n and_o authority_n as_o do_v by_o determine_v point_n of_o faith_n and_o manner_n make_v they_o true_a and_o lawful_a whereas_o the_o true_a church_n of_o

the_o article_n of_o religion_n which_o christ_n have_v commend_v to_o the_o faithful_a four_o you_o require_v in_o the_o true_a church_n and_o attribute_v to_o your_o church_n of_o rome_n such_o

submit_v to_o it_o and_o not_o seek_v to_o the_o scripture_n first_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v translate_v out_o of_o the_o original_a tongue_n before_o that_o private_a man_n can_v read_v or_o

by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n mr._n walker_n and_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o this_o which_o you_o say_v make_v no_o more_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o for_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n for_o all_o other_o particular_a church_n have_v as_o much_o authority_n in_o this_o kind_n yea_o more_o because_o she_o be_v more_o impure_a and_o corrupt_a than_o any_o of_o they_o and_o have_v least_o ability_n or_o sincerity_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o undoubted_o saint_n austen_n mean_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n of_o which_o he_o be_v no_o member_n but_o rather_o the_o church_n of_o milan_n in_o which_o he_o be_v convert_v second_o i_o say_v that_o saint_n austen_n in_o the_o place_n by_o you_o cite_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o supposition_n and_o not_o by_o way_n of_o asseveration_n as_o the_o learned_a have_v well_o observe_v from_o the_o scope_n and_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n three_o it_o be_v true_a that_o over-weake_a christian_n who_o be_v babe_n in_o christ_n the_o church_n in_o which_o they_o live_v and_o be_v baptize_v have_v such_o authority_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o namely_o to_o translate_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o commend_v they_o for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o truth_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v credit_n to_o it_o therein_o and_o not_o to_o oppose_v their_o own_o fancy_n and_o conceit_n but_o when_o christian_n be_v grow_v up_o in_o grace_n and_o knowledge_n and_o have_v feel_v by_o their_o own_o experience_n the_o effect_n and_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o their_o soul_n wrought_v by_o read_v and_o hear_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o when_o not_o only_o by_o the_o inward_a testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n testify_v that_o they_o be_v the_o truth_n
