his_o sectaty_n separate_v from_o all_o church_n then_o in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o from_o the_o true_a if_o there_o be_v any_o true_a be_v damnable_a schismatic_n 3._o because_o if_o any_o credit_n may_v be_v give_v to_o as_o creditable_a record_n as_o any_o be_v extant_a the_o doctrine_n of_o catholic_n have_v be_v frequent_o confirm_v and_o the_o opposite_a doctrine_n of_o protestant_n confound_v with_o supernatural_a and_o divine_a miracle_n 4._o because_o many_o point_n of_o protestant_a doctrine_n be_v the_o damn_a opinion_n of_o heretic_n condemn_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n 5._o because_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n touch_v the_o conversion_n of_o king_n &_o nation_n to_o the_o true_a religion_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v accomplish_v in_o &_o by_o the_o catholic_a roman_a religion_n &_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o and_o not_o by_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o 6._o because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v conformable_a and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o protestant_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o protestant_n themselves_o i_o mean_v those_o father_n who_o live_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o first_o 600._o year_n to_o who_o protestanr_n themselves_o do_v very_o frequent_o &_o very_o confident_o appeal_v 7._o because_o the_o first_o pretend_v reformer_n have_v neither_o extraordinary_a commission_n from_o god_n nor_o ordinary_a mission_n from_o the_o church_n to_o preach_v protestant_a doctrine_n 8._o because_o luther_n to_o preach_v against_o the_o mass_n which_o contain_v the_o most_o material_a point_n now_o in_o controversy_n be_v persuade_v by_o reason_n suggest_v to_o he_o by_o the_o devil_n himself_o dispute_v with_o he_o so_o himself_o profess_v in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr missa_fw-la privata_fw-la that_o all_o man_n may_v takehee_v of_o follow_v he_o who_o profess_v himself_o to_o follow_v the_o devil_n 9_o because_o the_o protestant_a cause_n be_v now_o &_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n maintain_v with_o gross_a falfification_n and_o calumny_n whereof_o their_o prime_a controversy_n writer_n be_v notorious_o and_o in_o high_a degree_n guilty_a 10._o because_o by_o deny_v all_o humane_a authority_n either_o of_o pope_n or_o counsel_n or_o church_n to_o determine_v controversy_n of_o faith_n they_o have_v abolish_v all_o possible_a mean_n of_o suppress_v heresy_n or_o restore_v unity_n to_o the_o church_n these_o be_v the_o answerer_n motive_n and_o they_o be_v good_a one_o indeed_o and_o so_o strong_a that_o he_o can_v never_o since_o frame_v his_o mind_n to_o protestancie_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o catholic_a religion_n not_o suit_v with_o his_o desire_n &_o design_n as_o i_o say_v before_o he_o fall_v upon_o socinianisme_n that_o be_v a_o no_o religion_n i_o will_v not_o here_o ponder_v the_o foresay_a motive_n only_o i_o must_v say_v as_o i_o note_v in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n that_o since_o they_o all_o except_o perchance_o the_o last_o chief_o concern_v matter_n of_o fact_n rather_o than_o any_o subtle_a point_n of_o doctrine_n he_o can_v with_o any_o probable_a show_n of_o reason_n retract_v they_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v yet_o who_o will_v not_o soon_o credit_v his_o sincerity_n whilst_o he_o speak_v against_o the_o current_n of_o the_o time_n in_o this_o place_n and_o contrary_a to_o worldly_a hope_n than_o now_o when_o all_o human_a respect_n concur_v to_o sway_v his_o word_n profession_n and_o carriage_n â—â—en_o contrary_a to_o his_o inward_a thought_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o will_v be_v sport_n to_o behold_v doctor_n potter_n confute_v these_o motive_n of_o the_o answerer_n while_o he_o be_v pretend_v to_o defend_v doctor_n potter_n and_o it_o may_v well_o seem_v a_o strange_a and_o preposterous_a zeal_n in_o the_o answerer_n if_o he_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o have_v be_v so_o long_o careless_a in_o remove_v this_o scandal_n against_o protestant_n and_o answer_v his_o own_o motive_n and_o yet_o now_o to_o show_v such_o fervour_n in_o write_v against_o other_o which_o whether_o he_o do_v of_o his_o own_o accord_n or_o by_o entreaty_n of_o doctor_n potter_n or_o from_o some_o high_a command_n i_o be_o neither_o certain_a nor_o solicitous_a my_o hearty_a wish_n be_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v read_v these_o motive_n may_v for_o the_o eternal_a good_a of_o his_o own_o soul_n consider_v they_o with_o indifferency_n and_o at_o leisure_n and_o never_o rest_v from_o solicit_v the_o learn_a protestant_n either_o to_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n which_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v or_o else_o not_o take_v it_o ill_o if_o he_o hasten_v to_o the_o one_o always_o visible_a catholic_a apostolic_a roman_a church_n out_o of_o which_o none_o can_v without_o presumption_n hope_v to_o be_v sane_v and_o
