it_o will_v then_o appear_v to_o any_o one_o not_o veil_v with_o prejudice_n that_o not_o one_o of_o they_o reach_v home_o to_o the_o conclusion_n intend_v which_o be_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v infallible_a the_o first_o place_n perhaps_o will_v do_v something_o but_o that_o there_o be_v three_o main_a exception_n against_o it_o 1._o that_o here_o be_v no_o evidence_n not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o of_o probability_n that_o this_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n after_o their_o conversion_n as_o be_v apparent_a from_o that_o which_o follow_v zion_n shall_v be_v redeem_v with_o judgement_n and_o her_o convert_n with_o righteousness_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v no_o way_n certain_a that_o whatsoever_o society_n may_v be_v call_v the_o city_n of_o righteousness_n the_o faithful_a city_n must_v be_v infallible_a in_o all_o her_o doctrine_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o probability_n it_o may_v challenge_v from_o hence_o the_o privilege_n of_o be_v impeccable_a which_o yet_o roman_n catholic_n i_o believe_v do_v not_o pretend_v to_o the_o second_o place_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o exception_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o speak_v of_o in_o it_o but_o zion_n and_o jerusalem_n and_o it_o will_v serve_v as_o well_o nay_o better_a to_o prove_v impeccability_n than_o infallibility_n the_o three_o place_n be_v the_o achilles_n for_o this_o opinion_n wherein_o every_o writer_n triumph_n but_o i_o wonder_v they_o shall_v do_v so_o consider_v the_o covenant_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v make_v not_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o with_o zion_n and_o they_o that_o turn_v from_o transgression_n in_o jacob_n the_o word_n be_v and_o the_o redeemer_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o zion_n and_o unto_o they_o that_o turn_v from_o transgression_n in_o jacob_n say_v the_o lord_n as_o for_o i_o this_o be_v my_o covenant_n with_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n my_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o and_o my_o word_n etc._n etc._n now_o if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v zion_n and_o they_o that_o turn_v from_o iniquity_n in_o jacob_n they_o may_v have_v title_n to_o this_o covenant_n if_o not_o they_o must_v forbear_v and_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o jew_n after_o their_o conversion_n to_o who_o it_o be_v appropriate_v by_o a_o more_o infallible_a interpreter_n than_o the_o pope_n i_o mean_v s._n paul_n rom._n 11.26_o and_o it_o seem_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n also_o believe_v as_o much_o for_o otherwise_o why_o do_v she_o in_o the_o margin_n of_o her_o bible_n send_v we_o to_o that_o place_n of_o s._n paul_n for_o a_o exposition_n read_v the_o four_o place_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v nothing_o can_v be_v make_v of_o it_o but_o this_o that_o the_o watchman_n of_o jerusalem_n shall_v never_o cease_v importune_v god_n for_o the_o send_n of_o the_o messiah_n to_o this_o purpose_n speak_v the_o prophet_n in_o ver_fw-la 1._o for_o zions_n sake_n i_o will_v not_o hold_v my_o peace_n and_o for_o hierusalems_n sake_n i_o well_o not_o rest_v until_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o go_v forth_o as_o brightness_n and_o the_o gentile_n shall_v see_v thy_o righteousness_n but_o the_o word_n follow_v these_o that_o be_v object_v make_v it_o most_o evident_a which_o be_v you_o that_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o lord_n keep_v not_o silence_n and_o give_v he_o no_o rest_n till_o he_o establish_v and_o till_o he_o make_v jerusalem_n a_o praise_n in_o the_o earth_n the_o 5_o place_n have_v they_o set_v down_o entire_o for_o very_a shame_n they_o can_v not_o have_v urge_v it_o for_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n the_o word_n be_v

23._o the_o next_o §_o argue_v thus_o for_o many_o age_n there_o be_v no_o scripture_n in_o the_o world_n and_o for_o many_o more_o there_o be_v none_o in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o man_n want_v not_o then_o and_o there_o some_o certain_a direction_n what_o to_o believe_v therefore_o there_o be_v then_o a_o infallible_a judge_n just_o as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v york_n be_v not_o my_o way_n from_o oxford_n to_o london_n therefore_o bristol_n be_v or_o a_o dog_n be_v not_o a_o horse_n therefore_o he_o be_v a_o man._n as_o if_o god_n have_v no_o other_o way_n of_o reveal_v himself_o to_o man_n but_o only_o by_o scripture_n and_o a_o infallible_a church_n 1.1_o church_n see_v chrysost_n hom._n 1._o in_o mat._n isidor_n pelus_n l._n 3._o ep_v 106._o and_o also_o basil_n in_o ps_n 28._o and_o then_o you_o shall_v confess_v that_o by_o other_o mean_n beside_o these_o god_n do_v communicate_v himself_o unto_o man_n and_o make_v they_o receive_v and_o understand_v his_o

without_o either_o necessity_n of_o scripture_n or_o church_n 124._o but_o d._n potter_n say_v you_o say_v in_o the_o jewish_a church_n there_o be_v a_o live_a judge_n endow_v with_o a_o absolute_a

shall_v have_v receive_v christ_n for_o their_o messiah_n and_o refuse_v he_o or_o perhaps_o this_o be_v not_o a_o case_n of_o moment_n d._n potter_n indeed_o may_v say_v very_o well_o not_o that_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v infallible_a for_o certain_o he_o be_v not_o but_o that_o his_o determination_n be_v to_o be_v of_o necessity_n obey_v though_o for_o the_o justice_n of_o it_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v believe_v beside_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o say_v that_o the_o live_a judge_n in_o the_o jewish_a church_n have_v a_o infallible_a direction_n another_o that_o he_o be_v necessitate_v to_o follow_v this_o direction_n this_o be_v the_o privilege_n which_o you_o challenge_v but_o it_o be_v that_o not_o this_o which_o the_o doctor_n attribute_n to_o the_o jew_n as_o a_o man_n may_v true_o say_v the_o wise_a man_n have_v a_o infallible_a direction_n to_o christ_n without_o say_v or_o think_v that_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o follow_v it_o and_o can_v not_o do_v otherwise_o 125._o but_o either_o the_o church_n retain_v still_o her_o infallibility_n or_o it_o be_v devest_v of_o it_o upon_o the_o receive_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o be_v absurd_a a_o argument_n methinks_v like_o this_o either_o you_o have_v horn_n or_o you_o have_v lose_v they_o but_o you_o never_o lose_v they_o therefore_o you_o have_v they_o still_o if_o you_o say_v you_o never_o have_v horn_n so_o say_v i_o for_o aught_o appear_v by_o your_o reason_n the_o church_n never_o have_v infallibility_n 126._o but_o some_o scripture_n be_v receive_v in_o some_o place_n
