both_o his_o book_n lie_v in_o this_o one_o word_n infallibility_n but_o it_o be_v time_n to_o fall_v to_o my_o business_n for_o fear_v of_o more_o advertisement_n and_o infallibility_n be_v the_o

it_o be_v in_o effect_n but_o another_o edition_n of_o his_o former_a the_o other_o as_o i_o suppose_v be_v dispose_v of_o to_o better_a purpose_n than_o to_o be_v read_v for_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o

occasion_n take_v notice_n of_o the_o two_o main_a principle_n he_o build_v upon_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o without_o a_o infallible_a church_n there_o can_v be_v no_o certainty_n of_o faith_n 2._o that_o the_o roman-catholick_n church_n be_v this_o infallible_a church_n if_o he_o can_v prove_v these_o two_o he_o shall_v not_o need_v any_o more_o to_o establish_v their_o religion_n or_o to_o overthrow_v we_o and_o i_o will_v say_v that_o for_o his_o praise_n that_o he_o have_v bring_v the_o controversy_n into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n for_o he_o confess_v it_o be_v endless_a to_o dispute_v out_o of_o scripture_n and_o father_n since_o witty_a man_n by_o their_o fall●ble_n gloss_n can_v turn_v and_o wind_v they_o which_o way_n they_o please_v but_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o stiff_a and_o inflexible_a as_o a_o stand_a infallible_a oracle_n in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v once_o believe_v all_o controversy_n be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o we_o may_v as_o soon_o hope_v to_o see_v all_o other_o controversy_n end_v by_o dry_a blow_n as_o this_o principle_n prove_v to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o any_o reasonable_a man_n the_o main_a proof_n for_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o church_n infallibility_n which_o he_o insist_o upon_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o divine_a faith_n without_o it_o 2._o there_o can_v be_v no_o certainty_n as_o to_o the_o canon_n or_o edition_n or_o sense_n of_o scripture_n 3._o there_o can_v be_v as_o little_a certainty_n as_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o father_n or_o the_o primitive_a church_n 1._o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o divine_a faith_n without_o it_o this_o he_o frequent_o insist_o upon_o in_o both_o his_o book_n and_o with_o so_o much_o vehemency_n as_o to_o make_v the_o denier_n of_o infallibility_n to_o overthrow_v all_o faith_n and_o religion_n which_o be_v a_o charge_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n aught_o to_o be_v make_v good_a by_o the_o clear_a evidence_n whether_o that_o which_o e._n w._n produce_v be_v so_o i_o shall_v leave_v any_o one_o to_o judge_v when_o i_o have_v give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o principle_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n in_o his_o first_o book_n call_v protestancy_n without_o principle_n he_o begin_v with_o this_o subject_n and_o lay_v down_o these_o assertion_n upon_o which_o all_o his_o discourse_n be_v build_v 1._o that_o god_n infallible_a revelation_n require_v a_o infallible_a assent_n of_o faith_n or_o a_o infallible_a verity_n reveal_v to_o we_o forcible_o require_v a_o answerable_a and_o correspondent_a infallible_a assent_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o the_o contrary_a he_o call_v wild_a doctrine_n this_o subjective_a infallibility_n as_o he_o call_v it_o he_o offer_v very_o wise_o to_o prove_v from_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o speak_v of_o the_o assurance_n which_o christian_n have_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o religion_n 2._o this_o infallible_a assent_n of_o faith_n do_v require_v infallible_a teacher_n for_o infallible_a believer_n and_o infallible_a teacher_n be_v correlative_n and_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n he_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o because_o if_o christ_n infallible_a doctrine_n be_v only_o fallible_o teach_v no_o man_n have_v certainty_n what_o it_o be_v and_o see_v what_o be_v fallible_a may_v be_v false_a christ_n doctrine_n may_v not_o be_v teach_v at_o all_o which_o be_v infallible_a and_o can_v be_v false_a and_o he_o that_o shall_v abjure_v this_o fallible_a doctrine_n do_v not_o deny_v therein_o christ_n doctrine_n and_o can_v be_v upon_o that_o account_n a_o heretic_n but_o to_o 27._o make_v faith_n infallible_a he_o assert_n that_o every_o preacher_n send_v by_o the_o infallible_a church_n as_o a_o member_n conjoin_v with_o it_o be_v infallible_a in_o his_o teach_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a whosoever_o renounce_v a_o infallible_a society_n can_v teach_v with_o certainty_n christ_n infallible_a doctrine_n from_o whence_o he_o say_v follow_v a_o utter_a ruin_n of_o christian_a religion_n in_o his_o three_o chapter_n he_o further_o prove_v that_o if_o the_o church_n be_v fallible_a in_o she_o teach_v god_n will_v oblige_v we_o to_o believe_v a_o falsity_n because_o god_n command_v man_n to_o hear_v the_o church_n and_o if_o the_o church_n may_v err_v than_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v a_o false_a doctrine_n teach_v by_o she_o and_o all_o other_o mean_v short_a of_o this_o infallibility_n will_v be_v insufficient_a for_o preserve_v christian_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n in_o the_o four_o chapter_n he_o come_v to_o a_o particular_a consideration_n of_o divine_a faith_n and_o from_o thence_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o infallibility_n i'faith_o say_v he_o require_v two_o thing_n essential_o a_o object_n which_o be_v god_n revelation_n and_o a_o proposition_n of_o this_o object_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o the_o elicit_a act_n of_o faith_n follow_v in_o a_o believer_n and_o intellectual_o lay_v as_o it_o be_v hold_v both_o o●_n god_n revelation_n and_o the_o thing_n reveal_v now_o to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o such_o a_o infallible_a proposition_n in_o order_n to_o divine_a faith_n ho●_n lay_v down_o some_o abstruse_a proposition_n 1._o that_o god_n infallible_a revelation_n avail_v nothing_o in_o order_n to_o faith_n unless_o christian●_n by_o their_o faith_n lie_v hold_v on_o the_o certain_o thereof_o or_o own_o it_o as_o infallible_a and_o the_o assure_a ground_n of_o their_o assent_n 2._o that_o the_o measure_n and_o degree_n of_o certitude_n in_o the_o assent_n be_v according_a to_o those_o which_o the_o proponent_n give_v to_o the_o revelation_n if_o he_o teach_v doubtful_o the_o assent_n be_v doubtful_a if_o probable_o the_o assent_n be_v probable_a be_v infallible_o the_o assent_n be_v infallible_a the_o reason_n which_o he_o give_v of_o this_o be_v because_o a_o object_n reveal_v receive_v its_o light_n from_o the_o proposal_n as_o a_o object_n of_o sight_n do_v from_o the_o light_n of_o the_o air_n as_o long_o therefore_o say_v he_o as_o the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o revelation_n stand_v remote_a from_o i_o for_o want_v of_o a_o undoubted_a application_n make_v by_o a_o infallible_a proponent_n it_o can_v no_o more_o transfuse_v certainty_n into_o faith_n than_o fire_n at_o a_o great_a distance_n warm_a that_o be_v no_o more_o than_o if_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a in_o itself_o or_o not_o at_o all_o in_o be_v 3._o from_o hence_o he_o say_v it_o follow_v that_o protestant_n can_v only_o doubtful_o guess_v at_o what_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v and_o consequent_o never_o yet_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v divine_a certain_a and_o infallible_a faith_n because_o they_o can_v propose_v faith_n infallible_o hence_o he_o proceed_v chapter_n five_o and_o six_o to_o disprove_v moral_a certainty_n as_o insufficient_a in_o order_n to_o faith_n and_o destroy_v as_o he_o say_v the_o very_a be_v and_o ●ssence_n of_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a faith_n because_o the_o sole_a and_o adequate_a object_n of_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a faith_n be_v god_n infinite_a veracity_n actual_o speak_v to_o we_o but_o this_o infinite_a veracity_n when_o it_o be_v due_o propose_v transsuse_v more_o certainty_n into_o the_o elicit_a act_n of_o faith_n than_o any_o moral_a certainty_n derive_v ●rom_o inferior_a motive_n can_v have_v for_o all_o moral_a certainty_n be_v at_o least_o capable_a of_o falsity_n and_o may_v deceive_v we_o god_n infallible_a veracity_n can_v be_v false_a nor_o deceive_v if_o faith_n rest_n upon_o that_o motive_n and_o if_o it_o rest_v not_o there_o it_o be_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o nay_o he_o assert_v that_o supernatural_a faith_n be_v more_o certain_a and_o infallible_a than_o all_o the_o metaphysical_a
