the_o pope_n concern_v the_o church_n the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o give_v a_o clear_a testimony_n that_o the_o answer_n thereof_o be_v a_o infallible_a oracle_n of_o god_n word_n when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v y_o e_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o truth_n whereof_o it_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o the_o church_n alone_o which_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v sufficient_a to_o uphold_v and_o stay_v the_o truth_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o fail_v nor_o decay_v in_o the_o world_n much_o rather_o when_o it_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o some_o part_n be_v the_o church_n able_a to_o maintain_v a_o other_o part_n of_o truth_n without_o the_o scripture_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o papist_n reason_n out_o of_o this_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o all_o truth_n be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o this_o be_v a_o very_a feeble_a kind_n of_o reason_v for_o grant_v that_o the_o church_n be_v y_z e_z pillar_n and_o the_o stay_n of_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n it_o follow_v not_o thereof_o that_o it_o uphold_v any_o truth_n which_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o contrariwise_o see_v it_o have_v be_v plentiful_o prove_v that_o all_o true_a doctrine_n be_v teach_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n even_o to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o man_n of_o god_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o that_o true_a doctrine_n which_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o of_o any_o truth_n beside_o the_o scripture_n for_o when_o all_o truth_n be_v teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n it_o follow_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o truth_n but_o if_o this_o be_v y_z e_z proper_a note_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o church_n to_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n say_v they_o it_o be_v prove_v thereby_o that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v so_o that_o if_o it_o set_v forth_o any_o thing_n beside_o the_o scripture_n the_o same_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a i_o answer_v this_o sophistry_n be_v already_o confute_v for_o it_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v as_o in_o matter_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n can_v err_v to_o continue_v therein_o it_o be_v because_o the_o church_n can_v depart_v from_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o man_n wise_a unto_o salvation_n but_o admit_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v at_o all_o what_o shall_v that_o avail_v the_o papist_n very_o nothing_o but_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n for_o if_o this_o be_v a_o proper_a &_o inseparable_a note_n of_o the_o church_n that_o it_o can_v err_v what_o company_n soever_o do_v err_v be_v not_o the_o church_n but_o the_o papist_n who_o doctrine_n contain_v so_o gross_a contradiction_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v shameful_o and_o abominable_o err_v from_o the_o truth_n therefore_o the_o popish_a faction_n be_v not_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o truth_n thou_o shall_v make_v no_o image_n for_o religion_n say_v the_o word_n of_o god_n thou_o shall_v make_v some_o image_n for_o religion_n say_v the_o popish_a church_n thou_o shall_v not_o fall_v down_o to_o they_o nor_o worship_v they_o say_v god_n commandment_n thou_o shall_v fall_v down_o and_o worship_v they_o say_v the_o popish_a synagogue_n thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n &_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v say_v our_o saviour_n christ._n when_o he_o be_v tempt_v to_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v the_o devil_n not_o as_o god_n but_o as_o god_n minister_n to_o who_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n be_v commit_v to_o dispose_v the_o pope_n say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v and_o serve_v other_o beside_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n so_o thou_o worship_v they_o not_o and_o so_o thou_o serve_v they_o not_o as_o go_n i_o may_v run_v over_o a_o whole_a hundred_o of_o contradiction_n which_o the_o papist_n do_v hold_v and_o teach_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o which_o it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a that_o they_o hold_v and_o teach_v damnable_a error_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n which_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o truth_n at_o the_o least_o wise_a in_o matter_n necessary_a to_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o the_o apostle_n by_o these_o word_n intend_v to_o privilege_v the_o church_n of_o god_n from_o all_o possibility_n of_o err_v in_o any_o matter_n albeit_o the_o church_n shall_v depart_v from_o the_o certain_a direction_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o any_o thing_n first_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o chapter_n 1._o timothy_n 3_o describe_v the_o person_n and_o office_n of_o christian_a bishop_n and_o deacon_n which_o do_v he_o add_v immediate_o these_o thing_n do_v i_o

which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o truth_n in_o which_o word_n we_o have_v to_o note_v first_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v write_v brief_o that_o which_o he_o purpose_v if_o they_o meet_v short_o more_o at_o large_a to_o set_v forth_o and_o confirm_v second_o that_o if_o he_o be_v disappoint_v so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o come_v short_o that_o timothy_n may_v have_v a_o sufficient_a direction_n how_o to_o behave_v himself_o for_o order_v of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o appoint_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o same_o by_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o which_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v mean_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n by_o who_o the_o truth_n of_o heavenly_a doctrine_n be_v uphold_v and_o continue_v in_o the_o world_n which_o without_o their_o ministry_n will_v utter_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o decay_n for_o even_o as_o he_o write_v to_o the_o roman_n 10._o see_v faith_n come_v by_o hear_v of_o god_n word_n of_o they_o that_o be_v send_v of_o faith_n come_v invocation_n and_o from_o thence_o salvation_n if_o none_o be_v

the_o same_o which_o teach_v the_o truth_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o god_n people_n 4._o in_o which_o respect_n they_o be_v say_v to_o save_v themselves_o and_o they_o that_o hear_v they_o be_v

the_o revelation_n signify_v the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n 2._o unto_o who_o it_o be_v threaten_v if_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v the_o candlestick_n which_o signify_v the_o church_n uphold_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o continual_a preach_n of_o the_o minister_n thereof_o so_o be_v it_o a_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o the_o truth_n so_o long_o as_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v continue_v which_o if_o it_o cease_v then_o follow_v darkness_n blindness_n ignorance_n error_n and_o destruction_n this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o plain_a meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o say_v the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o truth_n not_o that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o the_o church_n to_o err_v at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o matter_n or_o that_o the_o determination_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o church_n without_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o sufficient_a testimony_n of_o god_n word_n or_o of_o the_o truth_n in_o any_o cause_n as_o the_o papist_n maintain_v for_o paul_n instruct_v timothy_n by_o writing_n how_o he_o ought_v to_o behave_v himself_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o pillar_n &_o stay_n of_o
