2._o hence_o i_o argue_v nothing_o be_v more_o essential_a to_o scripture_n than_o the_o sense_n deliver_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o protestant_n where_o he_o be_v most_o concern_v have_v not_o so_o much_o assurance_n of_o the_o sense_n intend_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o exclude_v a_o possibility_n of_o reasonable_a doubt_n and_o i_o prove_v it_o he_o be_v most_o concern_v when_o

sense_n as_o exclude_v a_o possibility_n of_o reasonable_a doubt_n and_o this_o i_o say_v be_v evident_a for_o he_o can_v have_v so_o much_o assurance_n if_o as_o weighty_a yea_o à_fw-it far_o more_o weighty_a authority_n contradict'_v his_o sense_n but_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o not_o only_o the_o present_a roman_a church_n but_o other_o particular_a church_n in_o former_a age_n repute_v orthodox_n contradict_v that_o sense_n the_o protestant_n draw_v from_o scripture_n sense_n but_o sectary_n have_v no_o certainty_n of_o the_o sense_n when_o he_o oppose_v catholic_n doctrine_n or_o

the_o sole_a judgement_n of_o our_o present_a catholic_n church_n to_o dispute_v the_o thing_n no_o high_o be_v as_o great_a upon_o all_o account_n as_o the_o judgement_n of_o protestant_n seem_v undeniable_a and_o that_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o church_n weaken_v the_o assurance_n of_o that_o sense_n of_o scripture_n which_o protestant_n lay_v claim_n to_o be_v most_o evident_a as_o we_o see_v in_o school_n opinion_n when_o contrary_a to_o one_o a_o other_o for_o no_o man_n whether_o philosopher_n or_o divine_a can_v prudent_o hold_v his_o opinion_n so_o certain_a as_o exclude_v a_o
