thing_n whether_o it_o be_v easy_a or_o no_o to_o find_v the_o church_n infallibility_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v answer_v by_o her_o royal_a highness_n and_o i_o will_v not_o presume_v to_o

say_v the_o answerer_n a_o hard_a point_n to_o get_v over_o viz._n how_o the_o promise_v relate_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n come_v to_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n by_o the_o way_n the_o promise_n of_o which_o he_o talk_v be_v they_o not_o in_o scripture_n and_o no_o hard_o to_o be_v find_v there_o by_o another_o than_o by_o he_o how_o come_v the_o church_n infallibility_n to_o be_v easy_o find_v there_o in_o this_o period_n which_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o find_v in_o the_o last_o for_o who_o have_v find_v the_o promise_n have_v foun●_n infallibility_n as_o certain_o as_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n never_o fail_v but_o why_o be_v we_o not_o all_o agree_v now_o that_o there_o be_v promise_n of_o infallibility_n make_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n he_o agree_v and_o doubt_v not_o i_o suppose_v but_o that_o those_o promise_n be_v make_v good_a i_o suppose_v too_o he_o will_v allow_v that_o the_o church_n in_o general_n and_o the_o general_n church_n be_v all_o one_o and_o that_o the_o general_n and_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v but_o two_o name_n for_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o so_o we_o be_v arrive_v at_o infallibility_n in_o the_o catholic_a church_n yes_o but_o it_o must_v not_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o if_o that_o will_v content_v he_o we_o ask_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o allow_v that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o all_o her_o fault_n one_o of_o the_o many_o church_n which_o make_v it_o up_o to_o allow_v so_o much_o be_v to_o allow_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v infallible_a for_o roman_a catholic_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o catholic_a with_o the_o roman_a in_o what_o remain_v then_o but_o to_o take_v the_o infallibility_n promise_v to_o this_o catholic_a church_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n inquire_v and_o believe_v what_o she_o teach_v and_o leave_v off_o dispute_v for_o they_o be_v undoubted_o firm_o ground_v who_o build_v on_o the_o promise_v of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a the_o answerer_n have_v not_o all_o this_o while_n answer_v the_o question_n for_o he_o say_v not_o whether_o salvation_n ought_v to_o depend_v on_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n or_o whether_o the_o private_a judgement_n be_v a_o sandy_a foundation_n but_o he_o have_v do_v much_o better_o by_o instruct_v people_n the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o shall_v for_o i_o keep_v his_o thought_n of_o that_o matter_n to_o himself_o since_o he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o reveal_v they_o people_n i_o hope_v will_v profit_v by_o his_o instruction_n and_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n choose_v infallible_a rather_o than_o fallible_a security_n for_o their_o soul_n now_o they_o know_v where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v there_o follow_v several_a line_n in_o his_o majesty_n paper_n which_o be_v not_o transcribe_v by_o the_o answerer_n because_o they_o be_v he_o say_v as_o effectual_a for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o rome_n and_o true_o i_o be_o of_o his_o mind_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v her_o share_n in_o those_o favour_n as_o much_o as_o any_o particular_a church_n if_o she_o be_v as_o they_o be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o general_n for_o neither_o do_v they_o claim_v otherwise_o nor_o can_v the_o favour_n grant_v by_o

two_o particular_n mention_v draw_v argument_n from_o implication_n and_o deny_v plain_a word_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o out_o of_o the_o whole_a heap_n of_o controversy_n the_o answerer_n choose_v three_o in_o which_o they_o have_v he_o say_v plain_a and_o positive_a word_n on_o their_o side_n now_o it_o have_v be_v altogether_o as_o easy_a and_o as_o short_a to_o have_v produce_v those_o plain_a and_o positive_a word_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o as_o to_o have_v past_o his_o word_n that_o there_o be_v such_o beside_o that_o people_n love_v to_o see_v with_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o plain_a thing_n may_v easy_o be_v see_v he_o be_v a_o party_n and_o even_o supreme_a power_n according_a to_o he_o must_v not_o judge_v in_o their_o own_o cause_n it_o rest_v then_o with_o he_o to_o show_v where_o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o of_o what_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n say_v i_o or_o contrariwise_o for_o this_o be_v what_o people_n understand_v by_o plain_a and_o positive_a and_o all_o beside_o be_v implication_n and_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o confidence_n i_o affirm_v to_o he_o that_o who_o argue_v against_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n out_o of_o scripture_n argue_v always_o from_o implication_n though_o it_o be_v more_o than_o needs_o to_o justify_v his_o majesty_n assertion_n for_o if_o they_o draw_v their_o argument_n from_o implication_n at_o any_o time_n they_o draw_v argument_n from_o implication_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o he_o pitch_v upon_o a_o point_n wherein_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n seem_v plain_a and_o positive_a on_o our_o side_n and_o their_o sense_n to_o be_v from_o implication_n and_o far-fetched_a interpretation_n and_o allege_v what_o he_o have_v to_o say_v why_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v not_o plain_a and_o positive_a as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o way_n of_o deny_v plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n but_o by_o deny_v they_o to_o be_v plain_a no_o christian_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o deny_v what_o scripture_n plain_o teach_v but_o who_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o believe_v what_o it_o teach_v deny_v that_o it_o teach_v contrary_a to_o he_o and_o for_o a_o pretence_n to_o deny_v that_o raise_v some_o mist_n or_o other_o to_o obscure_v the_o clearness_n of_o every_o text_n allege_v against_o he_o the_o answerer_n than_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o show_v that_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n by_o pretend_v that_o they_o be_v not_o plain_a not_o do_v not_o can_v his_o majesty_n mean_v they_o deny_v they_o otherwise_o who_o know_v very_o well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o no_o word_n be_v so_o plain_a but_o who_o will_v make_v it_o his_o business_n may_v find_v something_o to_o say_v against_o they_o this_o which_o the_o answerer_n allege_v be_v far_o from_o a_o secret_a to_o he_o in_o short_a the_o answerer_n will_v have_v they_o clear_v from_o argue_v from_o implication_n by_o say_v they_o have_v in_o three_o point_n plain_a word_n which_o he_o think_v it_o needless_a to_o produce_v and_o from_o deny_v plain_a word_n by_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v plain_a and_o this_o be_v all_o his_o answer_n what_o he_o say_v of_o implication_n in_o the_o pope_n bull_n might_n if_o he_o can_v show_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n build_v her_o faith_n on_o those_o implication_n be_v a_o argument_n against_o she_o but_o none_o for_o himself_o for_o paul_n be_v not_o a_o just_a the_o less_o a_o thief_n because_o peter_n be_v catch_v steal_v too_o but_o some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n argue_v from_o implication_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v not_o build_v their_o faith_n therefore_o other_o may_v build_v their_o faith_n upon_o implication_n seem_v to_o i_o but_o a_o odd_a argument_n the_o king_n conclusion_n be_v be_v there_o any_o other_o foundation_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n but_o that_o if_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n please_v he_o may_v call_v such_o of_o the_o clergy_n as_o he_o think_v fit_a for_o his_o turn_n at_o that_o time_n and_o turn_v
manifest_v for_o you_o i_o shall_v neither_o believe_v catholic_o nor_o you_o here_o i_o will_v stop_v for_o true_o after_o so_o much_o say_v of_o this_o subject_a and_o so_o long_a experience_n of_o

when_o he_o talk_v of_o clear_a evidence_n of_o scripture_n against_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n notorious_o deviate_a from_o it_o under_o the_o face_n he_o set_v on_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o he_o have_v the_o art_n to_o make_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n bear_v a_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o or_o friend_n invention_n no_o great_a

that_o the_o meaning_n of_o his_o majesty_n next_o paragraph_n be_v not_o what_o his_o question_n will_v put_v upon_o it_o and_o yet_o he_o must_v needs_o suppose_v it_o have_v another_o as_o if_o
