ground_n of_o believe_v christ_n corporal_a presence_n viz_o as_o effect_v by_o transubstantiation_n be_v solid_n and_o true_a to_o which_o we_o answer_v negative_o 2._o whether_o the_o church_n of_o

in_o this_o be_v to_o make_v it_o as_o short_a as_o be_v possible_a without_o omit_v any_o thing_n material_a and_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o have_v not_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o have_v not_o willing_o omit_v or_o dissemble_v the_o force_n of_o any_o one_o line_n that_o seem_v to_o make_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o quotation_n in_o the_o pamphlet_n be_v many_o and_o general_o tedious_a none_o of_o they_o sincere_a and_o most_o of_o they_o twice_o or_o thrice_o repetae_v to_o have-published_a they_o entire_a will_v have_v take_v up_o more_o paper_n than_o this_o answer_n do_v nor_o will_v a_o recital_n have_v suffice_v without_o some_o reflection_n &_o after_o all_o the_o reader_n be_v no_o more_o bind_v to_o trust_v i_o then_o he_o but_o for_o full_a satisfaction_n must_v recur_v to_o the_o author_n themselves_o wherefore_o i_o conclude_v it_o the_o short_a &_o better_a way_n to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o our_o church_n and_o those_o author_n in_o plain_a &_o easy_a term_n so_o that_o the_o common_a reader_n may_v be_v his_o own_o interpreter_n and_o without_o any_o far_a assistance_n make_v a_o right_a construction_n of_o what_o the_o pamphlet_n will_v pervert_v some_o perhaps_o may_v fancy_v my_o reflection_n be_v sometime_o too_o severe_a upon_o so_o little_a seem_a provocation_n and_o at_o other_o time_n too_o light_a for_o so_o serious_a a_o subject_n as_o i_o treat_v of_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v not_o always_o dissemble_v my_o just_a abhorrence_n of_o the_o author_n insincerity_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n that_o a_o honest_a man_n can_v least_o pardon_n have_v the_o author_n be_v a_o true_a sincere_a papist_n as_o well_o my_o inclination_n as_o my_o duty_n will_v have_v make_v i_o treat_v he_o with_o respect_n for_o simple_a error_n be_v a_o object_n of_o compassion_n to_o be_v deal_v with_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n but_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o common_a aversion_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v abhor_v and_o stigmatise_v as_o for_o light_a answer_n i_o think_v i_o have_v never_o give_v they_o but_o when_o they_o be_v requisite_a in_o reply_n to_o comical_a objection_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o ridiculous_a than_o a_o solemn_a confutation_n of_o a_o jest_n the_o author_n indeed_o seem_v to_o talk_v with_o great_a gravity_n all_o the_o way_n but_o his_o matter_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a character_n and_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o grimace_n do_v but_o add_v to_o the_o comedy_n and_o make_v it_o the_o more_o necessary_a to_o return_v a_o answer_n in_o kind_n what_o i_o have_v say_v have_v be_v the_o short_a because_o my_o adversary_n have_v be_v twice_o answer_v already_o both_o profess_o by_o the_o

which_o contain_v the_o whole_a stock_n of_o the_o fraternity_n the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o they_o have_v to_o say_v if_o they_o write_v as_o many_o book_n as_o tostatus_n it_o be_v but_o other_o day_n that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o these_o discourse_n be_v again_o print_v in_o the_o book_n of_o church-govenment_a and_o for_o aught_o i_o find_v we_o must_v expect_v the_o same_o stuff_n word_n for_o word_n in_o every_o book_n they_o be_v to_o publish_v but_o at_o this_o rate_n instead_o of_o be_v answer_v they_o deserve_v to_o be_v indict_v for_o extortion_n for_o the_o buyer_n of_o
