Is there any authoritie of the Synods?
There is, but that which doth depend on the word of God, namely which is of Christs promise, Mat. 18.2••. where two or three (so more) be gathered together in my name, there am I in the the midst of them; neither is it to be doubted, but that much more some vni∣uersall company he doth gouern by his spiritb. Therfore the iudg∣ments of Synods are not to be despised, especially of those where Christ doth sit in the middest, but withall obserue by what con∣dition Christ is in the middest of a councell, if it be gathered to∣gether in his name, and the scripture bee in the most eminent place, for then the definition of the councils concerning that o∣pinion which is controuersed, after lawfull examination, and iust inquiry, hath his waigh••: which notwithstanding it selfe must be tried by the touchstone of the scripture: according to that, try all things, keepe that which is good. 1. Thess. 5.21.
