i_o do_v thus_o brief_o examine_v the_o exception_n against_o that_o little_a tract_n be_v 1._o general_n 2._o special_a 1._o his_o general_a exception_n be_v against_o the_o person_n who_o give_v

not_o pretend_v to_o such_o infallibility_n and_o therefore_o if_o i_o must_v rely_v upon_o the_o ministerial_a function_n i_o ought_v in_o case_n it_o can_v be_v find_v to_o seek_v out_o such_o a_o

reverend_a divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v hit_v upon_o the_o right_a sense_n of_o scripture_n but_o i_o see_v they_o pretend_v not_o to_o such_o a_o infallibility_n and_o therefore_o sir_n i_o must_v needs_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o when_o i_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o physician_n or_o lawyer_n i_o love_v to_o choose_v the_o best_a so_o if_o i_o must_v make_v choice_n of_o a_o director_n i_o must_v and_o will_v make_v choice_n of_o he_o that_o can_v give_v i_o security_n that_o he_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v lead_v i_o astray_o for_o i_o do_v not_o love_v to_o

england_n be_v so_o modest_a they_o dare_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v infallible_a for_o they_o know_v but_o in_o part_n 1_o cor._n 13._o 12._o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n do_v not_o hearken_v to_o they_o nor_o regard_v their_o admonition_n but_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o we_o can_v but_o make_v you_o believe_v it_o they_o be_v infallible_a i._n e._n they_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v deceive_v you_o but_o be_v these_o missioner_n in_o earnest_n whilst_o they_o insinuate_v such_o thing_n do_v they_o real_o believe_v themselves_o when_o they_o talk_v at_o this_o rate_n to_o put_v they_o to_o the_o test_n ask_v this_o very_a missioner_n whether_o he_o or_o any_o other_o private_a priest_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v infallible_a and_o let_v he_o not_o think_v to_o satisfy_v your_o doubt_n by_o declare_v that_o he_o do_v not_o find_v any_o other_o but_o those_o call_v roman_a catholic_n that_o offer_v to_o challenge_v it_o pag._n 2._o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n we_o need_v not_o be_v tell_v that_o they_o challenge_v to_o be_v infallible_a we_o do_v not_o suspect_v their_o confidence_n but_o expect_v their_o proof_n but_o now_o if_o this_o missioner_n shall_v acknowledge_v that_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o other_o private_a priest_n be_v infallible_a and_o i_o know_v he_o dare_v not_o pretend_v the_o contrary_a you_o be_v then_o to_o be_v admonish_v from_o his_o own_o principle_n that_o such_o fallible_a and_o err_a guide_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v you_o have_v late_o be_v reminded_a not_o to_o pin_v your_o faith_n upon_o another_o sleeve_n unless_o you_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o such_o a_o one_o on_o who_o you_o rely_v can_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o deceive_v you_o p._n 3_o and_o therefore_o my_o good_a parishioner_n since_o some_o body_n must_v direct_v you_o pray_v do_v you_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o more_o prudent_a to_o trust_v your_o own_o parson_n than_o a_o fallible_a pretend_v priest_n if_o this_o missioner_n shall_v then_o further_o propose_v that_o though_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a himself_o yet_o he_o can_v bring_v you_o to_o a_o infallible_a church_n and_o that_o be_v as_o good_a to_o this_o you_o may_v answer_v that_o though_o your_o parson_n be_v not_o infallible_a yet_o he_o can_v bring_v you_o to_o infallible_a scripture_n and_o that_o be_v better_a and_o it_o be_v pertinent_a to_o observe_v that_o the_o romanist_n themselves_o as_o well_o as_o we_o do_v acknowledge_v these_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v infallible_a but_o we_o protestant_n do_v declare_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o infallible_a and_o therefore_o since_o in_o all_o doubtful_a case_n the_o safe_a part_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v and_o that_o be_v safe_a say_v the_o priest_n wherein_o both_o side_n be_v agree_v do_v you_o stick_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o let_v they_o take_v their_o church_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o enter_v upon_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n by_o examine_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o pretend_a infallibility_n neither_o at_o present_a shall_v i_o take_v notice_n of_o those_o reason_n which_o be_v here_o produce_v by_o this_o missioner_n to_o support_v it_o these_o god_n willing_a shall_v be_v consider_v in_o their_o proper_a place_n viz._n in_o my_o reflection_n upon_o the_o missioner_n answer_v to_o the_o plain-man_n reply_n which_o i_o hope_v in_o due_a time_n to_o publish_v so_o much_o for_o his_o general_n exception_n his_o exception_n in_o special_a be_v against_o those_o direction_n which_o by_o way_n of_o expedient_a i_o desire_v you_o to_o observe_v 1._o he_o be_v not_o well_o please_v that_o i_o send_v you_o to_o your_o prayer_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o give_v you_o his_o grace_n to_o hold_v fast_o the_o profession_n of_o your_o faith_n without_o waver_v heb._n 10._o 23._o but_o this_o be_v to_o correct_v st._n paul_n and_o not_o the_o country-parson_n who_o think_v it_o very_o proper_a since_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v in_o faith_n to_o turn_v a_o apostolic_a precept_n into_o a_o prayer_n and_o be_v admonish_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o hold_v fast_o our_o profession_n in_o a_o humble_a dependence_n upon_o the_o divine_a grace_n we_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v it_o however_o at_o last_o he_o give_v you_o leave_v to_o say_v your_o prayer_n but_o then_o he_o tell_v you_o it_o must_v be_v in_o this_o form_n if_o i_o be_v not_o in_o the_o right_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o i_o be_v in_o the_o right_n etc._n etc._n but_o will_v this_o missioner_n allow_v his_o new_a convert_v to_o pray_v with_o these_o if_o his_o and_o and_o his_o if_o he_o grant_v they_o such_o liberty_n let_v i_o then_o desire_v they_o daily_o to_o repeat_v this_o prayer_n if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n of_o which_o i_o have_v now_o profess_v myself_o a_o member_n be_v not_o a_o sound_n catholic_n church_n but_o in_o any_o instance_n be_v erroneous_a superstition_n and_o idolatrous_a lord_n pardon_v my_o error_n and_o lead_v i_o into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o if_o the_o reformation_n of_o the_o
