of_o england_n as_o frame_v by_o its_o first_o queen-elizabeth-reformer_n be_v so_o general_o express_v as_o to_o admit_v of_o a_o sense_n own_v transubstantiation_n 2._o that_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o papist_n there_o be_v so_o many_o expression_n in_o their_o liturgy_n catechism_n and_o homily_n that_o very_o late_o a_o great_a church-of_a england_n doctor_n chaplain_n the_o doctor_n be_v

which_o careful_o weigh_v i_o advance_v to_o this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v hitherto_o have_v such_o favourable_a thought_n of_o a_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o so_o much_o compassion_n for_o the_o believer_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o have_v so_o far_o give_v up_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o papist_n that_o they_o can_v oppose_v transubstantiation_n without_o embrace_v as_o false_a and_o a_o more_o absurd_a notion_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v now_o become_v most_o unreasonable_a for_o they_o to_o make_v the_o believe_v of_o no_o transubstantiation_n to_o be_v a_o condition_n of_o our_o nobility_n enjoy_v those_o civil_a privilege_n which_o be_v they_o by_o inheritance_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o when_o our_o protestant_a lord_n shall_v in_o their_o great_a wisdom_n have_v consult_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o first_o reformer_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n the_o countenance_n our_o

see_v cause_n to_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a be_v it_o their_o own_o case_n to_o be_v justle_v out_o of_o the_o right_n of_o peerage_n for_o a_o opinion_n that_o must_v lie_v in_o their_o judgement_n so_o doubtful_a and_o that_o whilst_o our_o clergy_n be_v so_o zealous_a for_o the_o name_n of_o priest_n and_o for_o the_o erect_v and_o rail_a in_o their_o altar_n there_o be_v cause_n also_o why_o a_o son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v not_o be_v for_o the_o continuation_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o test_n the_o last_o clause_n of_o the_o test_n run_v

of_o rome_n be_v superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o urge_v the_o continuation_n of_o this_o other_o part_n of_o the_o test_n will_v appear_v i_o humble_o conceive_v pretty_a manifest_a to_o those_o who_o will_v cast_v off_o old_a prejudices_fw-la and_o impartial_o weigh_v the_o follow_a consideration_n i._o that_o see_v the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v take_v more_o than_o ordinary_a care_n to_o give_v such_o a_o general_a explanation_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n as_o may_v admit_v of_o a_o corporal_a presence_n and_o thus_o much_o she_o have_v do_v with_o a_o design_n to_o encourage_v the_o believer_n of_o transubstantiation_n to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o sacrament_n she_o can_v esteem_v the_o adoration_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n to_o be_v idolatry_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v she_o will_v be_v think_v to_o abhor_v the_o hold_a communion_n with_o idolater_n and_o to_o this_o she_o must_v stick_v or_o give_v up_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n who_o say_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o hold_v communion_n with_o that_o church_n that_o will_v admit_v know_v idolater_n into_o their_o communion_n but_o such_o do_v the_o church_n of_o england_n admit_v in_o admit_v the_o believer_n of_o transubstantiation_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v for_o admit_v the_o believer_n of_o transubstantiation_n who_o adore_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n have_v be_v abundant_o prove_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n must_v either_o give_v up_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o dissenter_n or_o declare_v that_o the_o believer_n of_o transubstantiation_n though_o they_o adore_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v not_o idolater_n and_o that_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o idolatrous_a and_o if_o not_o idolatrous_a how_o can_v they_o oblige_v all_o to_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v idolatrous_a or_o part_n with_o their_o civil_a right_n and_o privilege_n for_o not_o make_v such_o a_o declaration_n but_o ii_o there_o be_v some_o great_a doctor_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o worship_v what_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v god_n though_o it_o be_v not_o god_n want_v the_o formal_a nature_n of_o idolatry_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o believer_n of_o transubstantiation_n do_v very_o believe_v that_o what_o they_o worship_v be_v god_n how_o can_v they_o then_o insist_v on_o their_o idolatry_n for_o although_o these_o doctor_n be_v in_o a_o mistake_n yet_o before_o it_o be_v so_o positive_o determine_v as_o in_o the_o test_n the_o matter_n shall_v be_v full_o debate_v among_o themselves_o for_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o wisdom_n for_o any_o church_n to_o impose_v what_o be_v matter_n of_o doubt_n to_o some_o of_o she_o own_o son_n who_o be_v man_n of_o great_a learning_n and_o virtue_n iii_o as_o to_o the_o invocation_n or_o adoration_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o other_o saint_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o protestant_n themselves_o have_v different_a apprehension_n about_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o though_o all_o judge_v it_o a_o error_n yet_o all_o dont_fw-fr esteem_n it_o idolatry_n and_o see_v here_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o image_n in_o the_o test_n the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v be_v hard_o put_v to_o it_o to_o prove_v it_o idolatry_n for_o if_o it_o be_v idolatry_n it_o must_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o protestant_n be_v either_o idolatry_n against_o the_o first_o or_o against_o the_o second_o commandment_n not_o against_o the_o first_o for_o who_o be_v there_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o make_v the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n to_o exceed_v the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o heathen_a the_o author_n of_o julian_n parallel_v it_o with_o heathenish_a idolatry_n but_o who_o make_v it_o more_o absurd_a and_o gross_a and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o idolatry_n only_o against_o the_o second_o commandment_n see_v image_n be_v not_o mention_v how_o can_v it_o be_v make_v out_o unless_o they_o fall_v in_o with_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n and_o say_v that_o as_o the_o first_o command_n forbid_v all_o false_a object_n so_o the_o second_o all_o false_a author_n and_o mean_n of_o worship_n though_o direct_v ultimate_o to_o the_o true_a god_n and_o so_o grant_v that_o what_o part_n of_o worship_n soever_o have_v not_o god_n for_o its_o author_n be_v idolatrous_a worship_n and_o thereby_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o make_v invocation_n of_o saint_n idolatrous_a they_o make_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o own_o worship_n to_o be_v so_o too_o and_o see_v they_o be_v so_o hard_o put_v to_o it_o to_o prove_v it_o idolatrous_a they_o shall_v not_o impose_v the_o belief_n on_o it_o with_o so_o much_o severity_n as_o they_o have_v do_v it_o in_o this_o case_n but_o iv_o although_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o the_o make_v those_o test_n when_o under_o a_o church-of-england_n prince_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v none_o for_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o under_o a_o king_n who_o be_v for_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n for_o it_o be_v a_o put_v all_o those_o noble_n who_o enjoy_v their_o birthright_n and_o the_o representative_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o pronounce_v his_o majesty_n a_o idolater_n which_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o subject_a nor_o indeed_o civil_a but_o if_o the_o son_n of_o the_o church_n who_o be_v for_o the_o fix_v this_o test_n shall_v be_v treat_v by_o this_o present_a government_n as_o the_o clergy_n treat_v some_o brownist_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n it_o will_v be_v make_v a_o crime_n no_o less_o than_o capital_a chron._n the_o brownist_n
