A free disputation against pretended liberty of conscience tending to resolve doubts moved

Answ. May not reading, interpunction, a parenthesis, a letter, an acc•m, alter the sense of all fundamentals in the Decalogue? of the principles of the Gospel? and turn the Scripture in all points (which Mr. Doctor restricts to some few darker places, whose senses are off the way to heaven, and less necessary) in a field of Problems, and turn all believing into digladiations of wits? all ou• comforts of the Scriptures into the reelings of a Wind-mill, and pha• cies of seven Moons at once in the firmament? this is to put our faith and the first fruits of the Spirit, and Heaven and Hell to the Press. But though Printers and Pens of men may err, it followeth not that heresies should be tolerated, except we say, 1 That our faith is ultimately resolved upon characters, and the faith of Printers. 2 We must say, we have not the clear and infallible word of God, because the Scripture comes to our hand, by fallible means, which is a great inconsequence, for though Scribes, Translators, Grammarians, •rimers, may all err, it followeth not that an erring providence of him that hath seven eyes, hath not delivered to the Church, the Scriptures containing the infallible truth of God. Say that Baruch might err in writing the Prophecy of Jeremiah, it followeth not that the Prophecy of Jeremiah, which we have, is not the infallible ⟨p. 371⟩word of God; if all Translators and Printers did their alone watch o•er the Church, it were something, and if there were not one with seven eyes to care for the Scripture. But for Tradition, Councils, Popes, Fathers, they are all fallible means, and so far forth to be believed, as they bring Scripture with them.
