A10177	A briefe suruay and censure of Mr Cozens his couzening deuotions Prouing both the forme and matter of Mr Cozens his booke of priuate deuotions, or the houres of prayer, lately published, to be meerely popish: to differ from the priuate prayers authorized by Queene Elizabeth 1560. to be transcribed out of popish authors, with which they are here paralelled: and to be scandalous and preiudiciall to our Church, and aduantagious onely to the Church of Rome. By William Prynne Gent. Hospitij Lincolniensis.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1628 (1628)	STC 20455; ESTC S120656	100,630	151

here_o recite_v but_o only_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o our_o author_n affirm_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o ancient_a mother_n church_n and_o that_o her_o canon_n ceremony_n precept_n canonical_a hour_n and_o sacrament_n be_v due_o and_o religious_o to_o be_v observe_v by_o us._n the_o sequel_n can_v be_v deny_v because_o the_o author_n do_v press_v these_o canonical_a hour_n precept_n ceremony_n and_o sacrament_n upon_o we_o from_o the_o authority_n and_o practice_v of_o the_o church_n in_o which_o they_o always_o have_v be_v and_o yet_o be_v in_o use_n the_o minor_a be_v already_o evident_a because_o 2._o no_o church_n by_o its_o own_o authority_n alone_o without_o a_o relation_n to_o the_o policy_n of_o state_n do_v urge_v any_o set_v fast_v day_n nor_o yet_o enjoin_v canonical_a hour_n or_o auricular_a confession_n to_o a_o priest_n nor_o allow_v of_o seven_o sacrament_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v more_o large_o in_o its_o place_n but_o only_a the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o secret_a factor_n questionless_a our_o author_n be_v therefore_o our_o author_n be_v undoubted_o guilty_a of_o this_o first_o popish_a tenent_n for_o the_o second_o that_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n yea_o the_o very_a church_n of_o rome_n can_v never_o err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n be_v unfalliblie_o collect_v from_o this_o ensue_a passage_n in_o his_o preface_n that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o speak_v in_o the_o grain_n and_o pious_a language_n of_o christ_n church_n which_o have_v ever_o more_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o which_o i_o argue_v thus_o that_o church_n which_o be_v evermore_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v never_o err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n this_o all_o protestant_n and_o papist_n testify_v but_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n say_v our_o author_n speak_v of_o that_o particular_a church_n out_o of_o which_o these_o scatter_a devotion_n be_v collect_v which_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v evermore_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o

church_n and_o general_n counsel_n can_v err_v because_o they_o be_v always_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o contrary_n to_o the_o express_a doctrine_n and_o tenent_n of_o controversy_n all_o protestant_a divine_n who_o affirm_v that_o any_o visible_a church_n or_o general_n counsel_n yea_o that_o the_o church_n and_o pope_n of_o rome_n may_v err_v because_o they_o be_v not_o all_o evermore_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n with_o which_o the_o 19_o and_o 21._o article_n of_o our_o church_n concur_v therefore_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o wit_n particular_a church_n or_o general_n counsel_n which_o be_v the_o representative_a church_n in_o our_o author_n judgement_n can_v err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n which_o be_v a_o brand_v error_n now_o mark_v what_o good_a use_v our_o antagonist_n make_v of_o this_o conclusion_n even_o the_o same_o that_o the_o pope_n &_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v to_o countenance_n and_o justify_v all_o those_o erroneous_a and_o popish_a ceremony_n trumperies_fw-fr and_o position_n which_o be_v couch_v and_o set_v abroach_o in_o his_o devotion_n and_o to_o make_v they_o pass_v for_o currant_n truth_n because_o these_o devotion_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o approve_a and_o accustom_a devotion_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o christ_n videsicet_fw-la the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v evermore_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o not_o the_o devotion_n of_o private_a ghost_n and_o spirit_n as_o he_o there_o style_v they_o which_o be_v subject_a unto_o error_n therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o hurt_n no_o error_n no_o false_a nor_o popish_a doctrine_n couch_v in_o they_o so_o that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o justify_v and_o approve_v but_o likewise_o apply_v this_o popish_a position_n in_o a_o subdolous_a and_o popish_a manner_n even_o to_o justify_v the_o unerrabilitie_n of_o these_o his_o

the_o ember_n week_n at_o the_o four_o season_n the_o three_o rogation_n day_n the_o eaves_n and_o vigil_n before_o some_o thirteen_o holy_a day_n it_o have_v be_v also_o a_o ancient_a custom_n to_o

the_o lend_v fast_o there_o be_v a_o godly_a ordinance_n in_o the_o ancient_a church_n make_v by_o the_o council_n of_o anxerre_n more_o than_o a_o thousand_o year_n since_o that_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o epiphany_n there_o shall_v be_v certain_a day_n appoint_v such_o as_o this_o and_o the_o two_o sunday_n follow_v be_v wherein_o to_o prepare_v the_o people_n for_o their_o solemn_a fast_n

the_o variety_n of_o fast_v in_o diverse_a place_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o these_o three_o sunday_n be_v make_v to_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o lent-fast_a some_o extend_v their_o

leave_n to_o fast_o all_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o whether_o we_o begin_v at_o septuagesima_fw-la or_o any_o of_o the_o sunday_n follow_v the_o lent-fast_a be_v due_o to_o be_v keep_v at_o one_o

a_o apostolical_a constitution_n it_o be_v no_o humane_a invention_n as_o they_o call_v it_o but_o it_o come_v from_o divine_a authority_n that_o we_o fast_v our_o forty_o day_n in_o lent_n 246.247_o the_o last_o week_n of_o lent_n be_v a_o holy_a week_n and_o christian_n have_v use_v to_o call_v it_o the_o holy_a and_o great_a week_n or_o the_o passion_n week_n and_o more_o solemn_o to_o
