A57693 Catholick charitie complaining and maintaining, that Rome is uncharitable to sundry eminent parts of the Catholick Church, and especially to Protestants, and is therefore Uncatholick : and so, a Romish book, called Charitie mistaken, though undertaken by a second, is it selfe a mistaking / by F.

another_o way_n here_o leave_v to_o the_o author_n his_o own_o term_n of_o rail_v wherein_o i_o wonder_v he_o shall_v delight_v but_o that_o i_o see_v elsewhere_o he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o

the_o not_o explicit_a know_v and_o believe_v whereof_o in_o your_o own_o doctrine_n do_v not_o exclude_v salvation_n he_o go_v on_o and_o object_n a_o second_o good_a use_n that_o we_o make_v of_o point_n fundamental_a which_o be_v a_o proof_n of_o the_o visibility_n of_o our_o church_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v still_o a_o visible_a roman_a church_n which_o have_v hold_v point_n fundamental_a until_o the_o reformation_n begin_v by_o the_o protestant_n then_o be_v that_o visibility_n since_o that_o time_n still_o continue_v by_o we_o the_o former_a we_o leave_v to_o the_o romist_n to_o prove_v for_o their_o own_o sake_n and_o the_o late_a we_o can_v very_o easy_o prove_v for_o ourselves_o and_o whereas_o he_o repeat_v but_o confute_v not_o that_o some_o of_o we_o have_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o the_o church_n must_v have_v be_v continual_o visible_a i_o tell_v he_o that_o if_o this_o be_v a_o absurd_a doctrine_n as_o he_o term_v it_o they_o be_v lead_v to_o this_o absurdity_n with_o a_o great_a show_n of_o reason_n for_o not_o to_o run_v out_o at_o large_a into_o the_o common_a place_n of_o visibility_n when_o 6._o

only_o confute_v it_o by_o the_o epithet_n absurd_a and_o because_o that_o which_o follow_v next_o most_o concern_v the_o present_a business_n though_o this_o also_o be_v a_o rehearsal_n and_o not_o a_o confutation_n some_o few_o of_o they_o affirm_v when_o they_o be_v urge_v by_o we_o to_o show_v that_o visible_a church_n of_o they_o that_o they_o and_o we_o do_v make_v but_o one_o true_a

because_o they_o well_o know_v that_o no_o other_o church_n but_o we_o can_v indeed_o be_v show_v to_o have_v be_v visible_a through_o all_o age_n since_o christ_n our_o lord_n but_o i_o must_v here_o deny_v his_o repetition_n if_o by_o the_o word_n church_n he_o mean_v the_o pope_n and_o those_o that_o have_v make_v he_o the_o foundation_n of_o their_o faith_n for_o these_o and_o we_o we_o say_v not_o to_o be_v one_o church_n with_o we_o because_o they_o have_v change_v the_o foundation_n but_o if_o you_o mean_v those_o that_o by_o believe_a fundamental_n have_v fasten_v their_o faith_n on_o

ever_o prove_v that_o other_o church_n have_v not_o be_v as_o true_o and_o continual_o visible_a as_o rome_n for_o it_o will_v still_o trouble_v the_o author_n to_o show_v that_o the_o church_n of_o greece_n and_o africa_n have_v be_v less_o true_o visible_a than_o rome_n since_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o their_o first_o conversion_n and_o now_o this_o author_n be_v past_o our_o use_n of_o fundamental_n for_o visibility_n yet_o walk_v on_o though_o beyond_o his_o right_a business_n but_o he_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n in_o his_o main_a matter_n of_o make_v division_n to_o

this_o same_o opinion_n of_o inerrability_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o error_n as_o it_o be_v even_o now_o in_o the_o romish_a papacy_n their_o presumption_n of_o not_o err_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o inerrability_n that_o it_o make_v they_o to_o run_v into_o error_n and_o to_o lead_v the_o people_n after_o they_o blind_a after_o blind_a into_o the_o ditch_n of_o error_n this_o we_o see_v in_o their_o own_o word_n 8.18_o for_o thus_o they_o say_v come_v let_v we_o devise_v device_n against_o jeremiah_n for_o the_o law_n shall_v not_o perish_v from_o the_o

any_o of_o the_o ruler_n or_o of_o the_o pharisee_n believe_v on_o he_o ●8_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v the_o ruler_n and_o the_o pharisee_n the_o priest_n and_o the_o doctor_n can_v err_v and_o they_o have_v judge_v this_o controversy_n that_o christ_n be_v not_o christ_n and_o therefore_o without_o controversy_n man_n ought_v not_o to_o believe_v in_o christ._n but_o be_v there_o then_o no_o use_n of_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n yes_o sure_o very_o great_a the_o church_n yea_o the_o priest_n or_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o levi_n aught_o to_o speak_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o the_o people_n and_o judge_v controversy_n thereby_o and_o then_o as_o the_o thessalonian_n hear_v saint_n paul_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o we_o do_v so_o much_o hear_v their_o word_n as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n and_o this_o word_n be_v follow_v will_v make_v a_o true_a and_o inerrable_a judgement_n and_o truth_n ever_o be_v one_o it_o will_v ever_o cause_v unity_n and_o so_o be_v we_o come_v to_o the_o four_o point_n and_o indeed_o the_o point_n most_o proper_a to_o the_o present_a question_n though_o the_o place_n be_v not_o proper_a to_o prove_v the_o popish_a unity_n which_o this_o author_n will_v pick_v out_o of_o it_o for_o whereas_o to_o raise_v this_o unity_n out_o of_o this_o text_n he_o will_v thereby_o enforce_v a_o absolute_a yield_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n without_o appeal_n to_o scripture_n he_o must_v remember_v that_o in_o this_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n the_o scripture_n be_v

be_v to_o be_v account_v a_o heathen_a be_v sin_v against_o a_o brother_n now_o sin_v against_o a_o brother_n be_v plain_o forbid_v by_o scripture_n be_v contrary_a to_o that_o royal_a law_n of_o love_n which_o command_v a_o man_n to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o so_o that_o not_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n in_o a_o case_n of_o sin_v against_o a_o brother_n be_v not_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n advise_v or_o judge_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o so_o upon_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v a_o not_o hear_v of_o the_o scripture_n speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o see_v how_o unhandsome_o arise_v the_o inference_n of_o this_o author_n that_o he_o that_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n judge_v according_a to_o scripture_n may_v not_o appeal_v to_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v he_o may_v not_o appeal_v from_o scripture_n to_o scripture_n but_o much_o more_o right_a and_o reasonable_a be_v this_o consequence_n 2._o that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v wilful_o not_o hearken_v to_o the_o church_n in_o a_o case_n thus_o evident_o judge_v by_o scripture_n let_v such_o a_o one_o be_v account_v as_o a_o heathen_a and_o indeed_o i_o can_v scarce_o think_v that_o if_o this_o man_n who_o be_v question_v and_o accuse_v by_o his_o brother_n be_v guiltless_a and_o so_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v acquit_v that_o this_o author_n himself_o will_v have_v he_o take_v for_o a_o heathen_a be_v judge_v by_o the_o church_n against_o god_n law_n and_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o offender_n but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o 9_o
