invocate_a saint_n and_o angel_n in_o deny_v the_o layman_n the_o communion_n in_o both_o kind_n as_o be_v command_v by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o celebrate_v their_o church-service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n which_o be_v condemn_v by_o st._n paul_n in_o adore_v the_o sacrament_n and_o in_o all_o these_o a_o rational_a papist_n can_v deny_v but_o he_o be_v on_o the_o more_o dangerous_a

papist_n do_v that_o which_o be_v impious_a but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o the_o papist_n be_v in_o the_o right_n yet_o the_o protestant_n may_v be_v secure_a enough_o too_o for_o their_o

the_o protestant_n be_v so_o charitable_o civil_a as_o only_o to_o say_v of_o papist_n as_o st._n austin_n do_v of_o the_o donatist_n that_o catholic_n approve_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o donatist_n but_o abhor_v their_o heresy_n of_o rebaptization_n so_o protestant_n approve_v the_o fundamental_a and_o necessary_a truth_n which_o the_o papist_n retain_v by_o which_o many_o good_a soul_n among_o they_o may_v be_v save_v but_o abhor_v the_o many_o superstition_n they_o use_v in_o their_o religion_n and_o suppose_v these_o error_n of_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v in_o themselves_o not_o damnable_a to_o they_o that_o believe_v as_o they_o profess_v yet_o for_o we_o protestant_n to_o profess_v what_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o esteem_v those_o as_o divine_a truth_n which_o we_o believe_v not_o to_o be_v either_o divine_a or_o true_a will_v be_v doubtless_o damnable_a as_o to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a two_o man_n may_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o it_o may_v be_v sinful_a to_o one_o and_o not_o to_o the_o other_o as_o suppose_v a_o marry_a woman_n give_v herself_o out_o to_o be_v a_o widow_n and_o one_o know_v her_o husband_n to_o be_v alive_a marry_v she_o doubtless_o his_o enjoyment_n of_o she_o be_v adulterous_a but_o a_o second_o man_n come_v and_o after_o see_v her_o pretend_a husband_n bury_v marry_v she_o and_o die_v without_o the_o least_o information_n of_o her_o first_o husband_n be_v then_o alive_a his_o ignorance_n sure_o protect_v he_o from_o sin_n and_o the_o second_o husband_n knowledge_n of_o the_o sin_n he_o act_v condemn_v he_o of_o adultery_n &_o though_o his_o fault_n may_v be_v palliate_v with_o some_o excuse_n yet_o it_o can_v never_o be_v defend_v by_o any_o just_a apoligy_n and_o so_o though_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v st._n paul_n judgement_n that_o meat_n offer_v to_o idol_n may_v lawful_o be_v eat_v yet_o he_o say_v if_o any_o shall_v eat_v it_o with_o a_o doubtful_a conscience_n he_o shall_v sin_v and_o be_v condemn_v for_o so_o do_v and_o suppose_v we_o protestant_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v forsake_v the_o papist_n church_n for_o sin_n and_o error_n if_o she_o have_v not_o enjoin_v and_o impose_v they_o on_o we_o yet_o since_o she_o do_v maintain_v they_o with_o such_o obstinacy_n and_o impose_v they_o with_o such_o tyranny_n we_o ought_v certain_o to_o say_v with_o st._n peter_n and_o st._n john_n it_o be_v better_a to_o forsake_v man_n than_o god_n and_o leave_v the_o popish_a church-communion_n rather_o than_o commit_v or_o profess_v know_v error_n as_o divine_a truth_n for_o as_o the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v say_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o say_v so_o be_v a_o high_a presumption_n and_o great_a sin_n be_v the_o matter_n never_o so_o small_a and_o therefore_o when_o st._n paul_n speak_v concern_v virgin_n abstain_v from_o marriage_n he_o say_v he_o have_v no_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o i_o declare_v my_o own_o judgement_n of_o it_o now_o if_o st._n paul_n have_v give_v this_o as_o god_n command_n sure_o we_o may_v have_v just_o contradict_v he_o and_o make_v a_o distinction_n between_o divine_a revelation_n and_o humane_a judgement_n so_o that_o for_o a_o protestant_n to_o abide_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v so_o far_o from_o secure_v he_o from_o error_n as_o that_o if_o i_o or_o any_o protestant_n shall_v continue_v in_o it_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o can_v not_o be_v save_v by_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o papist_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o my_o communion_n without_o profess_v the_o entire_a popish_a doctrine_n to_o be_v true_a and_o profess_v this_o i_o can_v but_o i_o must_v perpetual_o exulcerate_v my_o conscience_n &_o though_o the_o error_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v not_o in_o themselves_o damnable_a yet_o for_o i_o to_o resist_v know_v truth_n and_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o profession_n of_o know_a error_n and_o falsehood_n be_v certain_o a_o capital_a sin_n and_o of_o great_a affinity_n with_o the_o sin_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v in_o short_a if_o the_o error_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n do_v not_o warrant_v our_o departure_n yet_o the_o tyrannous_a imposition_n of_o they_o will_v be_v our_o sufficient_a justification_n for_o they_o force_v we_o either_o to_o forsake_v the_o papist_n communion_n or_o profess_v as_o gospel-truth_n what_o our_o conscience_n assure_v we_o be_v very_o little_a akin_a to_o they_o so_o that_o the_o protestant_n be_v oblige_v to_o forsake_v those_o error_n of_o the_o popish_a church_n and_o not_o the_o church_n but_o the_o error_n and_o we_o protestant_n do_v and_o do_v still_o continue_v member_n of_o the_o church_n have_v only_o leave_v what_o appear_v most_o plain_a to_o we_o to_o be_v superstitious_a and_o impious_a and_o we_o separate_v no_o more_o from_o the_o popish_a church_n thant_n she_o have_v separate_v from_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o indeed_o to_o speak_v proper_o our_o difference_n be_v more_o against_o the_o court_n than_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o have_v introduce_v so_o many_o new_a ceremony_n and_o practice_n in_o the_o popish_a church_n as_o be_v never_o hear_v nor_o practise_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n as_o for_o one_o instance_n of_o a_o

that_o the_o pope_n or_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v st._n peter_n successor_n and_o have_v his_o authority_n of_o universal_a bishop_n and_o consequent_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v build_v upon_o

point_n of_o st._n peter_n be_v head_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o the_o papist_n all_o style_v he_o and_o say_v he_o be_v call_v from_o thence_o cephas_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o greek_a

any_o one_o of_o they_o nor_o be_v it_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o st._n peter_n have_v authority_n over_o all_o the_o apostle_n for_o above_o 25_o year_n together_o shall_v never_o show_v the_o least_o power_n over_o any_o of_o they_o all_o that_o time_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o receive_v the_o least_o subjection_n from_o they_o sure_o any_o one_o must_v think_v this_o as_o strange_a &_o

from_o they_o nor_o sure_o be_v it_o less_o strange_a &_o unreasonable_a that_o the_o papist_n shall_v so_o many_o age_n after_o know_v this_o so_o certain_o as_o they_o pretend_v they_o do_v and_o yet_o that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o after_o that_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v in_o their_o hear_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o st._n peter_n be_v pretend_v to_o be_v make_v their_o head_n shall_v

he_o any_o title_n of_o honour_n nor_o do_v it_o stand_v with_o reason_n that_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o several_a degree_n of_o man_n in_o the_o church_n shall_v omit_v give_v st._n peter_n the_o high_a if_o it_o have_v be_v his_o due_n but_o place_v he_o in_o the_o same_o rank_n and_o equipage_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o st._n paul_n say_v god_n have_v appoint_v

much_o less_o by_o divine_a right_n successor_n to_o st._n peter_n in_o his_o headship_n and_o authority_n for_o what_o incongruity_n be_v there_o if_o we_o say_v that_o optatus_n may_v succeed_v

shall_v leave_v his_o son_n heir_n to_o all_o he_o die_v possess_v of_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o conclude_v therefore_o he_o must_v necessary_o succeed_v he_o in_o the_o bishopric_n he_o die_v

his_o death_n it_o be_v further_a worth_n your_o observe_n and_o special_a notice_n that_o st._n peter_n himself_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n by_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v themselves_o the_o foundation_n of_o it_o and_o be_v according_o so_o call_v in_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o as_o in_o a_o building_n it_o be_v incongruous_a that_o

indeed_o do_v the_o grand_a argument_n of_o the_o papist_n for_o their_o pope_n extend_v any_o further_a in_o reality_n then_o the_o particular_a see_v of_o rome_n for_o thus_o go_v their_o main_a argument_n st._n peter_n be_v first_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o then_o attribute_v to_o themselves_o each_o one_o his_o particular_a chair_n understand_v in_o that_o city_n of_o rome_n for_o in_o other_o place_n other_o have_v chair_n beside_o st._n peter_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o papist_n he_o be_v a_o schismatic_a who_o against_o that_o one_o single_a chair_n erect_v another_o understand_v still_o in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o this_o this_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o authority_n the_o papist_n say_v the_o pope_n have_v to_o be_v successor_n to_o st._n peter_n and_o to_o exercise_v authority_n over_o the_o universal_a church_n but_o sure_a the_o protestant_n urge_v more_o rational_o in_o argue_v thus_o that_o st._n peter_n write_v two_o catholic_n epistle_n in_o which_o he_o mention_n his_o own_o departure_n and_o write_v to_o preserve_v the_o christian_n in_o the_o faith_n but_o yet_o in_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o epistle_n do_v he_o commend_v the_o christian_n to_o the_o guidance_n &_o authority_n to_o his_o pretend_a successor_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n which_o sure_a if_o st._n peter_n have_v intend_v he_o will_v never_o have_v forget_v to_o have_v name_v it_o and_o since_o the_o papist_n so_o reverence_n and_o adore_v the_o pope_n power_n let_v we_o protestant_n also_o admire_v his_o way_n and_o mean_n of_o attain_v this_o power_n for_o though_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v make_v pope_n he_o have_v his_o authority_n immediate_o from_o christ_n yet_o at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n the_o papist_n all_o know_v that_o he_o can_v be_v make_v pope_n but_o by_o authority_n and_o election_n of_o the_o cardinal_n so_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a by_o the_o very_a same_o reason_n any_o man_n that_o be_v choose_v a_o magistrate_n in_o any_o town_n under_o the_o pope_n territory_n may_v claim_v his_o authority_n as_o immediate_o receive_v from_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o the_o pope_n and_o further_o that_o the_o prove_v his_o be_v make_v pope_n do_v not_o render_v he_o infallible_a i_o can_v give_v a_o hundred_o instance_n out_o of_o the_o history_n of_o pope_n but_o that_o will_v not_o suit_v well_o with_o my_o design_a brevity_n but_o let_v we_o ask_v the_o papist_n if_o liberius_n bishop_n of_o rome_n after_o two_o year_n banishment_n do_v not_o by_o the_o solicitation_n of_o fortunatianus_n bishop_n of_o aquileia_n subscribe_v to_o heresy_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o be_v infallible_a and_o though_o the_o papist_n rely_v so_o much_o on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o father_n to_o support_v and_o justify_v the_o infallibility_n of_o their_o church_n yet_o upon_o true_a examination_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o make_v no_o more_o for_o their_o universal_a bishop_n than_o st._n peter_n two_o catholic_n epistle_n do_v and_o for_o their_o argue_v out_o of_o st._n cyprian_n 55_o epistle_n that_o sure_o make_v rather_o against_o than_o for_o they_o for_o there_o st._n cyprian_n write_v to_o cornelius_n bishop_n of_o rome_n but_o write_v not_o so_o much_o to_o he_o as_o of_o himself_o who_o be_v bishop_n of_o carthage_n against_o who_o a_o faction_n of_o schismatic_n have_v set_v up_o another_o bishop_n now_o though_o the_o papist_n say_v reasonable_o that_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o the_o universal_a bishop_n that_o other_o bishop_n shall_v make_v their_o address_n unto_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n yet_o sure_a it_o be_v better_a reason_v to_o conclude_v thus_o if_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v acknowledge_v universal_a bishop_n and_o his_o authority_n and_o supremacy_n have_v be_v believe_v and_o own_a sure_a st._n cyprian_n have_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o only_o bare_o write_v he_o his_o sad_a story_n for_o he_o do_v no_o

then_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o their_o church_n be_v a_o most_o excellent_a keeper_n of_o scripture_n for_o fifteen_o hundred_o year_n together_o that_o have_v not_o all_o that_o time_n

which_o side_n they_o please_v and_o for_o the_o book_n of_o maccabee_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v allow_v it_o define_v canonical_a before_o st._n gregorie_n time_n though_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o canonical_a but_o only_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n we_o further_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o papist_n if_o the_o book_n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la and_o wisdom_n and_o the_o epistle_n to_o st._n james_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a apostle_n approve_v canonical_a or_o not_o if_o they_o be_v approve_v by_o the_o apostle_n canonical_a sure_o the_o papist_n can_v deny_v but_o they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a definition_n and_o authority_n not_o to_o question_v they_o and_o therefore_o err_v in_o do_v so_o and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o approve_v canonical_a by_o the_o apostle_n with_o what_o impudence_n dare_v the_o roman_a church_n now_o approve_v they_o as_o canonical_a and_o yet_o pretend_v that_o all_o their_o doctrine_n be_v apostolical_a and_o if_o they_o say_v these_o book_n be_v not_o question_v they_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o tell_v which_o book_n they_o mean_v which_o be_v not_o always_o know_v to_o be_v canonical_a but_o have_v afterward_o be_v receiveed_o by_o the_o roman_a church_n to_o be_v such_o so_o that_o this_o argument_n reach_v those_o as_o well_o as_o these_o and_o further_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o church_n absolute_a infallibility_n as_o for_o the_o apostle_n and_o scripture_n for_o if_o the_o church_n fall_v into_o a_o error_n it_o may_v be_v reform_v by_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n in_o scripture_n but_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v err_v in_o deliver_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n in_o scripture_n then_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v be_v infallible_a for_o apostle_n prophet_n and_o canonical_a writer_n and_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o st._n paul_n say_v it_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o

five_o word_n all_o scripture_n be_v divine_o inspire_v let_v they_o show_v we_o so_o much_o for_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o show_v we_o if_o they_o can_v where_o it_o be_v write_v in_o scripture_n that_o all_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v divine_o inspire_v and_o all_o our_o controversy_n will_v be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o i_o believe_v they_o can_v never_o do_v that_o without_o another_o transubstantiation-miracle_n of_o word_n the_o papist_n desire_v we_o to_o show_v they_o a_o exact_a catalogue_n of_o our_o fundamental_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o god_n may_v be_v sufficient_o know_v to_o one_o and_o not_o sufficient_o declare_v to_o another_o and_o consequent_o that_o may_v be_v fundamental_a and_o necessary_a to_o one_o which_o be_v not_o to_o

all_o nation_n and_o yet_o be_v still_o a_o church_n the_o papist_n be_v please_v to_o say_v the_o protestant_n differ_v in_o fundamental_o which_o indeed_o appear_v to_o we_o very_o irrational_a for_o if_o they_o say_v we_o protestant_n differ_v in_o fundamental_o how_o then_o can_v they_o say_v we_o be_v member_n of_o the_o same_o church_n one_o with_o another_o more_o than_o they_o be_v with_o we_o or_o we_o with_o they_o and_o why_o do_v they_o object_v our_o difference_n more_o with_o one_o another_o than_o with_o themselves_o and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o fundamental_o why_o do_v they_o upbraid_v we_o with_o fundamental_a difference_n among_o ourselves_o we_o believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n can_v perish_v yet_o we_o believe_v she_o may_v and_o do_v err_v as_o i_o prove_v just_a before_o but_o thus_o much_o we_o protestant_n declare_v in_o general_a that_o we_o esteem_v it_o sufficient_a for_o any_o man_n salvation_n to_o believe_v god_n word_n the_o

to_o do_v it_o be_v as_o secure_v nay_o secure_a from_o the_o danger_n of_o err_v in_o fundamental_o than_o the_o roman_a church_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a any_o man_n so_o qualify_v shall_v
