wary_a conduct_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n towards_o her_o own_o member_n seem_v to_o confess_v a_o distrust_n of_o she_o own_o infallibility_n so_o the_o unreasonable_a confidence_n which_o she_o use_v towards_o we_o beget_v in_o we_o a_o just_a suspicion_n that_o she_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n and_o be_v not_o altogether_o insensible_a of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o very_a bad_a cause_n when_o those_o concern_v to_o defend_v it_o be_v unwilling_a to_o enter_v into_o its_o merit_n and_o instead_o of_o that_o only_a bluster_n and_o stand_v upon_o their_o privilege_n instead_o of_o maintain_v it_o by_o law_n and_o reason_n declare_v that_o they_o be_v to_o give_v law_n and_o not_o to_o submit_v to_o any_o and_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o say_v that_o must_v be_v reason_n this_o be_v a_o extravagancy_n in_o which_o no_o authority_n upon_o earth_n can_v bear_v a_o man_n out_o for_o if_o a_o professor_n when_o he_o be_v press_v by_o some_o untoward_a objection_n against_o some_o opinion_n he_o have_v deliver_v shall_v think_v fit_a to_o answer_v only_o with_o his_o brow_n or_o else_o to_o deliver_v it_o again_o as_o his_o positive_a judgement_n out_o of_o the_o chair_n declare_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o dictate_v in_o that_o place_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o his_o beard_n though_o never_o so_o venerable_a will_v scarce_o be_v able_a to_o preserve_v he_o from_o the_o contempt_n and_o derision_n of_o his_o own_o disciple_n or_o if_o a_o judge_n question_v for_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n shall_v instead_o of_o law_n or_o equity_n produce_v only_o his_o commission_n to_o justify_v his_o act_n i_o be_o afraid_a whatever_o become_v of_o his_o person_n his_o reputation_n will_v be_v in_o some_o danger_n especial_o if_o

establish_v superstition_n and_o insufferable_a tyranny_n we_o produce_v our_o evidence_n and_o allege_v scripture_n and_o primitive_a antiquity_n to_o make_v out_o our_o charge_n on_o the_o other_o

heretic_n convict_v because_o we_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o these_o demonstration_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o think_v they_o be_v to_o blame_v that_o do_v not_o like_o this_o proceed_v in_o a_o enemy_n for_o the_o near_a thing_n to_o a_o acknowledgement_n that_o the_o roman_a cause_n be_v indefensible_a be_v this_o desperate_a way_n of_o maintain_v it_o the_o less_o of_o argument_n man_n

some_o may_v ascribe_v the_o infallibility-shift_n to_o the_o confidence_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o shall_v rather_o impute_v it_o to_o her_o desperation_n and_o we_o be_v the_o more_o

upon_o which_o we_o find_v she_o open_o to_o have_v declare_v herself_o infallible_a when_o the_o eastern_a church_n quarrel_v with_o those_o of_o the_o west_n about_o some_o point_n of_o doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o ecclesiastical_a observance_n among_o other_o thing_n they_o urge_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v on_o their_o side_n for_o of_o the_o five_o patriarch_n which_o govern_v the_o church_n who_o they_o usual_o compare_v to_o the_o five_o sense_n there_o be_v four_o for_o the_o eastern_a opinion_n and_o if_o two_o to_o one_o be_v account_v odds_o it_o will_v be_v

too_o great_a to_o depend_v upon_o the_o sole_a merit_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v common_a to_o she_o with_o every_o private_a christian_a in_o the_o world._n but_o this_o
