his_o attain_v a_o absolute_a dominion_n over_o the_o christian_a world_n a_o long_o project_v five_o monarchy_n at_o least_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n that_o other_o country_n which_o be_v more_o

and_o overthrow_v their_o glorious_a pretence_n of_o union_n which_o they_o do_v so_o magnify_v upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o our_o reproach_n but_o can_v signify_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n for_o which_o the_o compendianist_n here_o intend_v it_o viz._n to_o show_v the_o bishop_n of_o lincoln_n in_o answer_n to_o his_o challenge_n at_o the_o end_n of_o his_o book_n that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v by_o public_a act_n and_o declaration_n disow_v and_o condemn_v those_o principle_n which_o his_o lordship_n charge_v upon_o she_o he_o very_o confident_o indeed_o affirm_v that_o the_o censure_n of_o those_o author_n he_o mention_n p_o 78._o l._n 32._o be_v such_o but_o what_o do_v he_o hope_v by_o positivenesse_n to_o face_v we_o down_o that_o the_o venetian_n and_o the_o

have_v not_o logic_n enough_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o part_n and_o branch_n of_o a_o church_n and_o the_o church_n her_o self_n in_o her_o public_a authority_n and_o representation_n do_v he_o indeed_o imagine_v that_o he_o can_v at_o this_o time_n of_o day_n make_v the_o judgement_n of_o particular_a university_n and_o civil_a assembly_n pass_v upon_o we_o for_o public_a act_n and_o

the_o decree_n of_o a_o pope_n or_o a_o general_n council_n be_v the_o public_a act_n and_o declaration_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o show_v either_o of_o these_o for_o the_o condemnation_n of_o those_o principle_n which_o the_o bishop_n have_v prove_v upon_o his_o religion_n by_o both_o what_o scorn_v then_o can_v be_v vile_a enough_o to_o throw_v upon_o his_o impudent_a claim_n of_o the_o bishop_n conditional_a promise_n of_o turn_v papist_n when_o the_o term_n upon_o which_o that_o promise_n be_v give_v be_v so_o far_o from_o

he_o stun_v we_o with_o this_o vast_a din_n of_o insignificant_a word_n and_o rattle_v in_o our_o ear_n with_o empty_a sound_n i_o think_v to_o have_v pass_v by_o his_o quibble_n upon_o the_o bishop_n title_n it_o be_v so_o very_o senseless_a and_o thin_a a_o conceit_n but_o because_o i_o find_v he_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v every_o thing_n unanswerable_a that_o be_v not_o particular_o take_v notice_n of_o i_o shall_v do_v he_o the_o favour_n to_o make_v the_o reader_n observe_v this_o ridiculous_a criticism_n who_o can_v think_v say_v 76._o he_o that_o his_o lordship_n heat_n against_o we_o shall_v force_v he_o even_o to_o a_o title_n that_o have_v confute_v his_o whole_a book_n viz._n that_o popish_a principle_n and_o position_n when_o real_o believe_v be_v destructive_a and_o dangerous_a to_o all_o king_n especial_o protestant_n for_o he_o can_v term_v they_o principle_n of_o faith_n because_o they_o be_v never_o thus_o believe_v etc._n etc._n i_o suppose_v by_o principle_n of_o faith_n here_o he_o mean_v what_o be_v common_o understand_v by_o article_n of_o faith_n i._n e._n point_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o the_o word_n be_v equivocal_a and_o may_v bear_v several_a sense_n but_o because_o this_o be_v most_o favourable_a to_o his_o objection_n i_o shall_v understand_v they_o so_o now_o why_o can_v the_o bishop_n term_v these_o position_n principle_n of_o faith_n he_o have_v prove_v they_o to_o have_v be_v decree_v both_o by_o pope_n and_o council_n and_o if_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o make_v any_o point_n a_o principle_n of_o faith_n in_o their_o church_n i_o know_v not_o where_o or_o how_o we_o shall_v find_v any_o principle_n of_o faith_n among_o they_o he_o say_v indeed_o here_o and_o in_o other_o place_n will_v insinuate_v the_o same_o that_o they_o be_v never_o thus_o believe_v by_o any_o catholic_n nor_o never_o thus_o approve_v of_o by_o the_o church_n but_o that_o be_v only_o his_o word_n against_o the_o bishop_n proof_n and_o signify_v nothing_o but_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o the_o shameless_a impudence_n of_o popish_a writer_n who_o can_v even_o in_o print_n and_o in_o the_o face_n of_o a_o learned_a and_o inquire_a people_n affirm_v thing_n contrary_a to_o direct_v proof_n without_o ever_o so_o much_o as_o endeavour_v to_o answer_v those_o proof_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n therefore_o why_o the_o bishop_n may_v not_o have_v term_v they_o principle_n of_o faith_n if_o he_o have_v please_v but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o material_a to_o the_o design_n of_o his_o discourse_n so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v enough_o for_o his_o purpose_n to_o prove_v they_o principle_n of_o their_o religion_n which_o he_o have_v most_o clear_o do_v no_o matter_n whether_o they_o hold_v they_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o not_o their_o very_a hold_v they_o as_o principle_n of_o their_o religion_n do_v make_v that_o sufficient_o dangerous_a to_o prince_n which_o be_v what_o the_o bishop_n undertake_v to_o show_v but_o let_v we_o suppose_v now_o that_o the_o bishop_n can_v term_v these_o position_n principle_n of_o faith_n i_o will_v engage_v it_o shall_v do_v his_o title_n no_o more_o hurt_v than_o it_o be_v plain_a it_o will_v his_o book_n indeed_o neither_o of_o they_o any_o at_o all_o this_o title_n say_v he_o that_o popish_a principle_n and_o position_n when_o real_o believe_v be_v destructive_a etc._n etc._n have_v confute_v his_o whole_a book_n why_o because_o he_o can_v term_v they_o pray_v mark_v the_o reason_n principle_n of_o faith_n etc._n etc._n can_v any_o unprejudiced_a man_n now_o who_o brain_n lie_v in_o their_o right_a place_n perceive_v any_o sort_n of_o consequence_n in_o this_o argument_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v find_v none_o but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o little_a sense_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o awkard_n blunder_v it_o must_v be_v this_o viz._n a_o supposal_n that_o the_o real_a belief_n of_o any_o
