will_v consider_v serious_o of_o that_o sacred_a scripture_n in_o the_o twenty_o eight_o of_o the_o prov._n of_o solomon_n the_o thirteen_o verse_n he_o who_o hide_v his_o sin_n shall_v not_o

only_o state_n and_o determine_v all_o controversy_n about_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o practice_n i_o reply_v that_o the_o divine_a authority_n of_o god_n as_o impress_v upon_o the_o veracity_n of_o

they_o shall_v fall_v into_o any_o damnable_a heresy_n but_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o romish_a opinion_n be_v such_o though_o they_o be_v impose_v to_o be_v believe_v and_o obey_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n equal_o with_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n what_o blasphemy_n be_v this_o for_o a_o sinful_a man_n to_o arrogate_v the_o title_n of_o infallible_a due_a only_o to_o god_n the_o fountain_n and_o architype_n of_o all_o truth_n that_o the_o father_n of_o light_n give_v mankind_n the_o best_a and_o safe_a conduct_n of_o his_o own_o holy_a infallible_a spirit_n in_o matter_n aforesaid_a and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v exemplify_v from_o his_o essential_a purity_n and_o veracity_n be_v not_o defective_a as_o human_a law_n which_o require_v a_o external_n judge_n and_o interpreter_n distinct_a from_o themselves_o in_o their_o original_a constitution_n so_o that_o in_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n the_o scripture_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n and_o standard_n to_o dictate_v and_o determine_v matter_n of_o faith_n and_o christian_a obedience_n yet_o so_o arrogant_a be_v the_o pope_n as_o to_o challenge_v a_o authority_n to_o himself_o to_o give_v the_o scripture_n a_o sanction_n yea_o to_o overrule_a they_o by_o his_o corrupt_a tradition_n which_o he_o declare_v infallible_a thus_o he_o exautorat_n and_o invalidates_n their_o divine_a original_a and_o superintendency_n as_o if_o they_o receive_v all_o the_o life_n of_o their_o interpretation_n from_o his_o authoritative_a dilucidation_n as_o the_o moon_n do_v her_o light_n from_o the_o sun_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o pope_n enter_v into_o any_o council_n he_o have_v the_o bible_n place_v under_o his_o foot_n while_o single_o himself_z overrule_n the_o council_n and_o exalt_v his_o sole_a determination_n above_o the_o sacred_a record_n of_o truth_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o under_o a_o pretence_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v obscure_a and_o a_o dead_a letter_n in_o themselves_o that_o they_o must_v be_v animate_v with_o his_o tradition_n though_o never_o so_o absurd_a and_o contradictory_n to_o their_o divine_a authority_n certainty_n and_o perfection_n also_o i_o say_v that_o where_o the_o scripture_n be_v obscure_a in_o one_o place_n they_o explain_v that_o ambiguity_n in_o another_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o external_n judge_n and_o that_o protestant_n divine_n do_v not_o give_v out_o their_o private_a sentiment_n and_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o law_n to_o supersede_n the_o innate_a authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o to_o oblige_v christian_n to_o a_o implicit_a faith_n and_o obedience_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v who_o overrule_v the_o very_a scripture_n themselves_o so_o that_o no_o part_n of_o they_o be_v canonical_a but_o only_o those_o book_n which_o he_o declare_v to_o be_v such_o thus_o a_o sinful_a man_n judge_v that_o sacred_a law_n by_o which_o himself_o and_o all_o man_n must_v be_v judge_v though_o he_o claim_v a_o power_n to_o pardon_n sin_n and_o dispose_v of_o the_o eternal_a reward_n of_o virtue_n or_o vice_n according_o as_o himself_z please_v to_o determine_v the_o nature_n and_o circumstance_n of_o both_o hence_o i_o say_v it_o proceed_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n be_v so_o corrupt_a as_o mould_v and_o adapt_v to_o serve_v and_o promote_v the_o carnal_a interest_n of_o his_o ambition_n and_o the_o licentiousness_n of_o his_o follower_n then_o he_o ask_v i_o whether_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o
