Peter but has indeed none Were you not afraid lest the other parts of your Pamphlet should fall under the censure of the Preacher's pen and therefore endeavour'd by such little plots to divert him If you were Whether your whole Religion like your Queries have any more then a flattering outside not to be search'd into by a severer eye then that of a Novice Querie VII When Christ tells S. Peter his faith should not fail did he mean it should be impossible to deceive him Are those Scriptures that speak of full Assurance of faith to be understood of full perfection of knowledge When our Saviour says that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against his Church are the words to be understood of infallability or perpetuity To enter into Heaven through persecutions and tribulations is it not to be saved so as by fire Were not those imprison'd spirits the souls of those who perish'd in the Flood and were reserv'd in some safe but tolerable custody till Christ came and preach'd Repentance to them which upon their delivery immediately vanish'd Or if Purgatory be that prison is it not an excellent employment for the Pope to be the Gaoler Was Maximilian the second forc'd by the Protestants or by the Reasonableness of the thing it self to write that Letter asserting Priest's Marriage considering all which Thuanus says is that he did it Re ipsâ urgente Why is it not as lawfull to marry as to keep a Concubine one being allowed by God the other by the Pope Only Why did Scotus say that Transubstantiation was not a Truth before the Lateran Council if he might not be quoted for it And when he says non fuit dogma fidei who taught you thus to construe it that 't was onely forecast till then May not a man be damn'd for eating that bread and drinking that wine unworthily which represents the Body and Bloud of Christ Again Did Christ give the Bread to any but Disciples and Ministers or not If not why doe you not withhold this from the Laity too If he did how does it appear that he gave them not wine also If there were none besides Disciples present at the Administration how could Christ give either Bread or Wine to them they being not there to receive it If there were any by the same evidence by which it appears they were there is it not clear likewise that they received both When the Christians went from house to house breaking Bread would it not be a hard case if they should have no drink to it Did they not encourage Nero to cloath them with Beasts-skins by confining themselves to Horse-meals it being fit their garb should be sutable to their fare Suppose the Jewish Liturgy was in Hebrew could not the Jews understand that Hebrew no not their Mother-tongue Were not the Proselytes to their Religion proficients in their Language too If not how came they to be Proselytes the only probable way of their Conversion being either by reading the Jew's Books or conversing with their persons and could they doe either without understanding their Language If they were though the Jewish Liturgy were in Hebrew why could they not understand it You grant the Primitive Liturgies were in Greek and Latine were not they the most Common Tongues one of the Eastern the other of the Western world If ignorance of the Tongue had been requisite why did they suffer them to remain in such known Languages If praying in an unknown Tongue was established by primitive practice before Gregory the Great 's time was that practice corrupt or no If it was why did he establish it by an Ecclesiastical Law If not how do you reconcile it with S. Paul's command to pray with understanding 1 Cor. 14.

Peter by right though it could not be got till Boniface the third did Gregory the Great know that it was his Right or no If he did why was he so injurious to S.
