B08370	A soveraign remedy against atheism and heresy. Fitted for the vvit and vvant of the British nations / by M. Thomas Anderton.	Anderton, Thomas.; Hamilton, Frances, Lady.	1672 (1672)	Wing A3110A; ESTC R172305	67,374	174

in_o overcome_v this_o last_o great_a difficulty_n consist_v chief_o the_o supernaturality_n which_o be_v most_o peculiar_a to_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n heretic_n therefore_o may_v be_v convict_v of_o obstinacy_n and_o heresy_n though_o they_o do_v not_o clear_o see_v nor_o we_o evident_o conclude_v by_o tradition_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o god_n reveal_v what_o they_o deny_v or_o doubt_v of_o and_o the_o church_n propose_v as_o reveal_v by_o he_o for_o heresy_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o impossibility_n but_o it_o will_v be_v one_o if_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o learned_a heretic_n be_v obstinate_a against_o a_o clear_a and_o conclusive_a evidence_n of_o god_n have_v reveal_v what_o they_o deny_v or_o doubt_v of_o how_o can_v any_o passion_n or_o pride_n blind_v a_o learned_a heretik_a if_o it_o deprive_v he_o not_o whole_o of_o his_o wit_n and_o then_o he_o can_v not_o sin_n or_o be_v a_o heretik_a so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v he_o deny_v or_o doubt_v of_o what_o he_o see_v evident_o conclude_v god_n say_v or_o reveal_v that_o be_v to_o deny_v god_n be_v god_n or_o the_o existence_n of_o a_o deity_n a_o learned_a heretik_a therefore_o can_v not_o

danger_n of_o damnation_n if_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o church_n who_o testimony_n be_v confirm_v with_o miracle_n to_o assent_v to_o that_o doctrine_n as_o divine_a which_o be_v deliver_v by_o

supernatural_a sanctity_n the_o conversion_n of_o nation_n to_o christianity_n the_o gift_n of_o profecy_n etc._n etc._n be_v as_o great_a miracle_n as_o the_o cast_v out_o of_o devil_n cure_v disease_n raise_v the_o dead_a and_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n but_o it_o be_v a_o common_a say_n among_o protestant_n that_o miracle_n be_v cease_v in_o the_o church_n and_o some_o catholics_n grant_v they_o be_v so_o few_o and_o wrought_v in_o those_o remote_a region_n of_o japan_n and_o china_n that_o you_o can_v hardly_o meet_v with_o one_o who_o do_v ever_o see_v a_o miracle_n how_o therefore_o can_v miracle_n be_v the_o mark_n whereby_o every_o man_n may_v be_v direct_v to_o know_v the_o true_a catholic_a church_n if_o few_o or_o none_o see_v they_o a._n i_o grant_v that_o all_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n must_v be_v miraculous_a otherwise_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a motive_n for_o prudent_a man_n to_o submit_v their_o judgment_n to_o the_o testimony_n or_o ministry_n of_o that_o church_n as_o to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o miracle_n be_v not_o cease_v nor_o confine_v to_o those_o remote_a region_n of_o japan_n and_o china_n there_o be_v not_o a_o catholic_a nation_n in_o the_o world_n which_o do_v not_o show_v some_o thing_n at_o least_o so_o like_o supernatural_a miracle_n that_o as_o wise_a and_o wary_a man_n as_o any_o in_o christendom_n believe_v they_o to_o be_v so_o and_o such_o protestant_n as_o pretend_v they_o be_v not_o can_v not_o with_o any_o probability_n show_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v false_a or_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v they_o be_v fraudulent_a or_o natural_a see_v therefore_o christ_n himself_o assure_v we_o that_o supernatural_a miracle_n shall_v follow_v the_o true_a believer_n and_o that_o until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n there_o will_v be_v true_a believer_n and_o by_o consequence_n a_o catholic_a church_n we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v that_o only_o
