for_o that_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o revelation_n of_o god_n or_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n reveal_v which_o cause_v their_o belief_n to_o be_v supernatural_a or_o divine_a etc._n etc._n answ_n i_o be_o glad_a my_o expression_n give_v you_o occasion_n thus_o to_o express_v
if_o one_o be_v sufficient_a why_o the_o other_o if_o both_o be_v necessary_a than_o either_o be_v not_o sufficient_a so_o then_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o most_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o

you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o most_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o faith_n and_o two_o sufficient_o there_o be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n yes_o you_o say_v but_o first_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v know_v by_o infallible_a authority_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n well_o but_o we_o both_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o

which_o you_o say_v be_v infallible_a and_o if_o you_o believe_v it_o by_o infallible_a authority_n of_o the_o church_n as_o you_o think_v you_o must_v go_v to_o scripture_n for_o this_o authority_n then_o be_v not_o the_o church_n a_o sufficient_a ground_n because_o it_o needs_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n and_o confirm_v its_o authority_n and_o therefore_o my_o conclude_v be_v

best_o it_o do_v so_o by_o principle_n of_o scripture_n apply_v they_o to_o particular_a case_n and_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n have_v themselves_o to_o the_o scripture_n but_o as_o

in_o charity_n you_o may_v have_v spare_v your_o labour_n for_o we_o be_v in_o a_o sure_a condition_n than_o you_o can_v be_v upon_o your_o principle_n you_o believe_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o

of_o the_o church_n also_o must_v i_o observe_v your_o ingenuity_n again_o here_o that_o you_o do_v profess_v it_o as_o most_o true_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o most_o sufficient_a ground_n

evident_o follow_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v this_o judge_n and_o infallible_a as_o she_o teach_v herself_o to_o be_v this_o be_v the_o whole_a procedure_n of_o his_o discourse_n herein_o he_o have_v a_o supposition_n that_o there_o be_v some_o church_n which_o be_v judge_n of_o controversy_n and_o infallible_a this_o be_v not_o yet_o nor_o can_v ever_o be_v prove_v and_o here_o be_v

first_o this_o make_v they_o not_o to_o be_v infallible_a by_o way_n of_o consequent_a if_o by_o way_n of_o consequence_n for_o that_o none_o other_o church_n do_v claim_v this_o infallibility_n be_v

lay_v to_o it_o by_o other_o church_n that_o which_o they_o have_v find_v and_o take_v up_o must_v belong_v to_o they_o therefore_o what_o he_o say_v that_o i_o make_v he_o argue_v thus_o the_o

but_o none_o of_o they_o say_v themselves_o to_o be_v either_o the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n or_o to_o be_v infallible_a therefore_o they_o can_v be_v either_o judge_n or_o infallible_a and_o what_o sense_n be_v this_o argument_n resolve_v into_o but_o this_o that_o the_o claim_n make_v the_o right_a and_o therefore_o he_o may_v somewhat_o have_v spare_v a_o reproach_n which_o fall_v upon_o he_o neither_o be_v it_o true_a that_o all_o other_o church_n of_o all_o other_o religion_n do_v say_v indeed_o that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n and_o this_o i_o note_v before_o for_o which_o nothing_o be_v say_v to_o i_o now_o but_o he_o say_v i_o say_v nothing_o to_o that_o which_o he_o press_v and_o still_o do_v press_v that_o the_o church_n which_o be_v appoint_v by_o

have_v be_v a_o valiant_a supposer_n i_o must_v be_v account_v a_o weak_a disputant_n if_o he_o include_v the_o supposition_n in_o the_o argument_n for_o one_o of_o the_o proposition_n i_o deny_v that_o proposition_n and_o if_o he_o will_v yet_o conclude_v he_o make_v it_o a_o formal_a enthymem_fw-la but_o in_o virtue_n none_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v to_o he_o in_o term_n first_o then_o

i_o say_v yet_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o understand_v here_o a_o argument_n by_o a_o claim_n and_o so_o they_o must_v do_v if_o they_o will_v conclude_v their_o church_n to_o be_v the_o infallible_a

to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n if_o not_o that_o &_o the_o rest_n may_v answer_v themselves_o and_o i_o say_v as_o he_o say_v in_o this_o that_o though_o a_o minister_n must_v be_v a_o man_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v a_o minister_n because_o be_v be_v a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o woman_n unless_o pope_n joane_n because_o one_o be_v more_o general_a and_o therefore_o the_o proposition_n be_v not_o simple_o convert_v yet_o if_o he_o say_v against_o we_o the_o church_n which_o be_v infallible_a judge_n must_v be_v a_o church_n judge_v and_o teach_v

for_o himself_o that_o their_o church_n be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n because_o it_o teach_v herself_o to_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o he_o say_v this_o i_o say_v not_o but_o i_o say_v that_o church_n that_o must_v be_v infallible_a must_v not_o want_v this_o condition_n and_o therefore_o no_o church_n teach_v herself_o even_o according_a to_o scripture_n to_o be_v fallible_a can_v true_o be_v
