B08923	Memoires of Mr. Des-Ecotais: formerly stiled in the Church of Rome the most venerable Father Cassianus of Paris, priest and preacher of the Order of the Capucins. Or, The motives of his conversion. Divided into two parts. I. That the doctrin of the now Roman church is not grounded neither upon the Holy Scripture; neither upon the belief of the primitive church or the authority of the Holy Fathers, which is more particularly and more evidently verified in the examination of the belief of Rome concerning the Eucharist. II. That the church of Rome is not the true church; that it doth not enjoy, as absolutely its own, out-shutting all other churches, neither the antiquity of the belief, neither the multitude of the people, neither the true and lawful succession of the bishops; that the authority thereof is not infallible, and that it is full of errors and corruptions.	Des Ecotais, Louis.	1677 (1677)	Wing D1174AA; ESTC R204416	150,657	428

cause_v i_o to_o defer_v it_o again_o after_o it_o have_v make_v i_o understand_v that_o this_o same_o romish_a faith_n be_v ground_v neither_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n

whereupon_o i_o fix_v all_o my_o religion_n thither_o i_o reduce_v all_o the_o controversial_a question_n wherefore_o i_o examine_v that_o question_n of_o the_o infalliblity_n of_o the_o roman_a

very_o profound_o in_o my_o mind_n the_o reason_n i_o have_v meditate_a to_o fasten_v i_o more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o holy_a word_n i_o devise_v many_o proof_n and_o many_o
