B11964	A copy of a letter, vvritten by M. Doctor Carier beyond seas, to some particular friends in England. VVhereunto are added certaine collections found in his closet, made by him (as is thought) of the miserable ends of such as haue impugned the Catholike Church. To which also is annexed a briefe exhortation to perseuere constantly in the said Catholike Church, what opposition soeuer may occurre, and the danger of liuing out of the same; and lastly, a few examples of the admirable prosperity, of such as haue defended the Catholike Church	Carier, Benjamin, 1566-1614.	1615 (1615)	STC 4621; ESTC S118628	25,589	43

again_o then_o the_o main_a care_n be_v to_o find_v what_o religion_n our_o saviour_n teach_v while_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o here_o i_o will_v pray_v every_o man_n of_o reason_n to_o

to_o write_v his_o religion_n but_o to_o teach_v it_o ite_z predicate_v 3_o that_o of_o twelve_o apostle_n seven_o do_v leave_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o writing_n but_o teach_v their_o successor_n the_o religion_n of_o christ_n by_o word_n of_o mouth_n 4_o that_o saint_n mark_n saint_n luke_n and_o saint_n paul_n who_o write_v most_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o of_o christ_n his_o company_n while_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o learn_v their_o religion_n of_o the_o church_n before_o they_o write_v it_o 5_o that_o diverse_a other_o do_v write_v the_o religion_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o do_v apprehend_v it_o but_o their_o gospel_n and_o epistle_n be_v reject_v by_o the_o church_n luke_n 1._o 1._o 6_o that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n there_o will_v be_v no_o writing_n to_o try_v true_a religion_n from_o heresy_n but_o only_o the_o eternal_a truth_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o saint_n 7_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v by_o man_n of_o the_o church_n admit_v canonical_a by_o counsel_n of_o the_o church_n preserve_v from_o tyrant_n by_o the_o care_n of_o the_o church_n and_o ever_o until_o of_o late_a

the_o church_n then_o to_o believe_v a_o few_o private_a man_n that_o say_v they_o can_v expound_v scripture_n better_o than_o the_o church_n 9_o that_o all_o sort_n of_o heretic_n have_v always_o

of_o christ_n can_v never_o come_v to_o know_v what_o be_v the_o religion_n that_o christ_n do_v teach_v and_o which_o he_o have_v hitherto_o maintain_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o such_o a_o man_n to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a religion_n the_o mean_n then_o to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o inquire_v which_o be_v the_o
