they_o or_o no_o they_o profess_v a_o hatred_n to_o image-worship_n in_o the_o beginning_n for_o the_o more_o plausible_o turn_v the_o papist_n out_o of_o door_n when_o they_o pursue_v they_o with_o

as_o well_o understand_v the_o mass_n as_o this_o language_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n book_n then_o look_v in_o the_o calendar_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n and_o there_o you_o will_v find_v the_o

list_v as_o in_o the_o mass-book_n and_o as_o the_o demigod_n be_v in_o the_o calendar_n of_o the_o heathen_n then_o if_o you_o listen_v to_o they_o in_o this_o their_o devotion_n you_o will_v not_o

with_o the_o persian_n cry_v out_o to_o the_o sun_n with_o the_o egyptian_n to_o the_o whale_n to_o all_o the_o fish_n and_o beast_n with_o the_o chaldean_n to_o the_o fire_n with_o the_o syrian_n

with_o they_o you_o may_v see_v pass_v for_o very_o good_a scripture_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a common-prayer_n book_n if_o not_o worse_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o mass-book_n in_o english_a and_o all_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o missal_n be_v of_o a_o ancient_a stand_n use_v even_o in_o basil_n and_o chrysostom_n time_n but_o our_o common-prayer_n book_n never_o know_v light_n till_o it_o be_v devise_v under_o edward_n vi_o and_o how_o many_o alteration_n have_v it_o have_v in_o this_o time_n some_o make_v by_o king_n edward_n himself_o some_o by_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o several_z other_o since_z nay_o have_v we_o not_o see_v prayer_n add_v to_o this_o book_n in_o thanksgiving_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o and_o deliverance_n from_o a_o plot_n which_o now_o every_o consider_a man_n have_v reason_n to_o believe_v to_o have_v be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o chimaera_n and_o the_o invention_n of_o bad_a man_n 7._o they_o make_v god_n of_o man_n attribute_v to_o they_o a_o power_n of_o forgive_a sin_n the_o incommunicable_a attribute_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o their_o liturgy_n in_o which_o their_o priest_n be_v order_v to_o give_v absolution_n to_o sinner_n 8._o they_o encourage_v a_o deathbed_n repentance_n permit_v their_o member_n to_o live_v as_o extravagant_o as_o they_o please_v all_o the_o time_n of_o their_o health_n and_o not_o a_o word_n of_o confess_v and_o repent_v but_o when_o death_n be_v wait_v for_o they_o at_o their_o beds-head_n they_o have_v a_o power_n to_o give_v absolution_n they_o say_v and_o their_o never_o enjoin_v it_o but_o in_o the_o last_o agony_n be_v argument_n enough_o to_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o obligation_n of_o repent_v among_o they_o till_o death_n look_v they_o in_o the_o face_n 9_o they_o know_v not_o what_o their_o belief_n be_v touch_v this_o power_n of_o absolution_n some_o of_o their_o divine_n affirm_v that_o the_o sentence_n by_o which_o absolution_n be_v give_v to_o the_o penitent_a be_v a_o absolute_a and_o definitive_a sentence_n judicial_o absolve_v he_o from_o the_o gild_n of_o his_o offence_n other_o of_o their_o doctor_n say_v that_o the_o form_n of_o absolution_n be_v declarative_a rather_o than_o absolute_a and_o think_v it_o a_o rashness_n to_o pronounce_v a_o definitive_a sentence_n in_o god_n name_n and_o thus_o though_o their_o faith_n be_v all_o pretend_a to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v wonderful_a hard_a to_o know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o whilst_o they_o thus_o disagree_v among_o themselves_o how_o can_v any_o embrace_v their_o creed_n who_o know_v not_o what_o they_o believe_v themselves_o 10._o they_o dispense_v with_o vow_n and_o dissolve_v the_o obligation_n of_o such_o as_o be_v make_v even_o to_o god_n himself_o thus_o you_o see_v when_o any_o priest_n jesuit_n or_o friar_n come_v over_o to_o their_o church_n though_o they_o have_v solemn_o vow_v their_o virginity_n to_o god_n and_o promise_v to_o the_o almighty_a never_o to_o marry_v yet_o they_o be_v no_o soon_o make_v a_o member_n of_o this_o reform_a congregation_n

one_o thing_n and_o now_o of_o late_a it_o be_v become_v another_o and_o if_o right_a then_o i_o wonder_v how_o it_o can_v be_v right_a now_o thus_o you_o see_v their_o church_n alter_v and_o change_v according_a to_o the_o complexion_n of_o the_o time_n and_o not_o only_o in_o these_o thing_n but_o in_o a_o thousand_o other_o nay_o in_o the_o very_a article_n of_o their_o belief_n the_o apostle_n creed_n have_v never_o more_o than_o twelve_o article_n and_o the_o assent_v to_o these_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o christian_a but_o to_o make_v a_o church_n of_o england_n christian_n at_o first_o it_o be_v require_v to_o subscribe_v to_o forty_o two_o article_n and_o then_o a_o little_a after_o something_o be_v bate_v and_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o subscribe_v to_o thirty_o nine_o and_o in_o these_o there_o be_v so_o much_o chap_a and_o change_v both_o in_o word_n expression_n and_o sentence_n that_o even_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n exposition_n never_o have_v more_o before_o it_o come_v to_o perfection_n these_o be_v the_o mark_n my_o dear_a one_o of_o that_o congregation_n to_o which_o you_o be_v so_o earnest_o invite_v to_o join_v but_o let_v those_o join_v with_o she_o that_o can_v those_o that_o can_v find_v a_o way_n to_o dispense_v with_o all_o their_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o admit_v of_o profanation_n and_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o for_o we_o we_o have_v the_o scripture_n and_o our_o reason_n for_o our_o guide_n and_o we_o need_v no_o better_o and_o we_o have_v no_o sure_a way_n of_o avoid_v the_o tooth_n of_o the_o dragon_n than_o to_o keep_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o his_o tail_n if_o a_o zealous_a brother_n i_o say_v shall_v in_o this_o manner_n paint_v out_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o his_o flock_n and_o endeavour_v to_o imprint_v in_o their_o mind_n a_o idea_n thus_o foul_a and_o monstrous_a of_o her_o teach_n and_o maintain_v abominable_a superstition_n and_o idolatry_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o the_o answerer_n whether_o this_o will_v be_v represent_v or_o misrepresent_v the_o church_n of_o england_n whether_o it_o will_v be_v a_o show_v she_o as_o she_o be_v or_o as_o she_o be_v not_o i_o know_v according_a to_o his_o principle_n the_o charge_n be_v not_o false_a as_o to_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o none_o be_v urge_v without_o some_o reason_n this_o character_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v entitle_v the_o church_n of_o england_n misrepresent_v and_o yet_o methinks_v i_o can_v fancy_v it_o will_v be_v think_v like_o she_o but_o however_o it_o be_v i_o be_o resolve_v to_o compound_v and_o not_o quarrel_v upon_o this_o score_n if_o he_o will_v not_o have_v this_o to_o be_v misrepresent_v in_o its_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n i_o be_o ready_a to_o allow_v that_o the_o word_n misrepresent_v as_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o title_n of_o my_o book_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v in_o its_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n as_o it_o signify_v calumniate_a

on_o the_o papist_n but_o in_o a_o less_o rigorous_a signification_n as_o it_o imply_v the_o represent_v a_o thing_n otherwise_o than_o it_o be_v and_o put_v on_o false_a colour_n whether_o by_o wry_a

than_o it_o be_v it_o be_v all_o the_o misrepresent_v i_o desire_v and_o equal_o fit_a for_o my_o purpose_n and_o now_o i_o have_v so_o far_o comply_v with_o the_o answerer_n i_o hope_v the_o talk_n of_o misrepresent_v as_o he_o say_v will_v be_v over_o and_o yet_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o prove_v once_o more_o in_o other_o ten_o sheet_n that_o misrepresent_v be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v

if_o so_o much_o but_o i_o be_o yet_o in_o arrear_n and_o must_v not_o part_v thus_o for_o it_o seem_v the_o answerer_n have_v a_o complaint_n against_o i_o and_o it_o be_v this_o pag_n 3._o that_o in_o my_o last_o reply_n instead_o of_o defend_v my_o own_o misrepresentation_n which_o i_o so_o unjust_o father_v upon_o they_o i_o have_v pick_v up_o new_a misrepresentation_n for_o he_o to_o

of_o my_o own_o childish_a conceit_n i_o at_o length_n produce_v some_o eminent_a protestant_n describe_v popery_n with_o the_o same_o ill_a feature_n and_o worse_o than_o i_o have_v draw_v it_o in_o

when_o he_o prefix_n to_o they_o a_o he_o that_o be_v the_o papist_n must_v believe_v can_v the_o church_n of_o england_n stand_v this_o test_n will_v it_o not_o be_v misrepresent_v she_o to_o
