the_o romanist_n assert_v the_o first_o the_o protestant_n the_o second_v but_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o plea_n that_o if_o we_o can_v make_v good_a our_o charge_n

infallibility_n they_o be_v not_o a_o direct_a answer_n to_o that_o charge_n that_o she_o have_v actual_o err_v and_o can_v have_v no_o force_n to_o prove_v her_o infallibility_n till_o that_o charge_a be_v answer_v because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o proof_n against_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o begin_v with_o the_o proof_n of_o infallibility_n they_o begin_v at_o the_o wrong_a end_n for_o when_o the_o church_n be_v charge_v with_o error_n if_o they_o will_v not_o lose_v their_o labour_n they_o must_v prove_v that_o she_o have_v not_o err_v before_o they_o

for_o till_o this_o be_v remove_v it_o be_v a_o effectual_a bar_n to_o all_o other_o proof_n of_o infallibility_n and_o thus_o their_o compendious_a way_n of_o make_v convert_v and_o confute_v heretic_n be_v nothing_o but_o sophistry_n and_o a_o cheat_n and_o if_o man_n will_v be_v sincere_a and_o honest_a convert_v they_o must_v not_o flatter_v themselves_o with_o a_o opinion_n of_o the_o

how_o can_v the_o gospel_n have_v be_v at_o first_o plant_v in_o the_o world_n upon_o these_o principle_n jew_n and_o heathen_n have_v a_o regular_a authority_n among_o they_o to_o determine_v

in_o religion_n ought_v to_o have_v some_o scripture_n or_o because_o extraordinary_a shall_v have_v miracle_n to_o countenance_v it_o i_o answer_v we_o have_v both_o we_o have_v reform_v according_a

thereby_o be_v not_o to_o be_v require_v of_o any_o man_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v believe_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o be_v think_v requisite_a or_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n where_o

of_o worship_n which_o be_v not_o christian._n some_o kind_n of_o separation_n indeed_o there_o must_v be_v between_o a_o pure_a and_o a_o corrupt_a church_n but_o if_o you_o will_v know_v on_o

then_o three_o this_o give_v occasion_n to_o another_o observation_n that_o the_o ancient_a practice_n of_o pray_v for_o soul_n depart_v do_v not_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o popish_a purgatory_n or_o that_o those_o ancient_a christian_n do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a ancient_a practice_n i_o ready_o grant_v as_o all_o man_n must_v do_v who_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o these_o matter_n and_o yet_o from_o what_o i_o have_v discourse_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o never_o dream_v of_o such_o a_o purgatory_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v now_o make_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n of_o and_o therefore_o they_o can_v have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o redemption_n of_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n in_o their_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v of_o any_o such_o place_n but_o to_o what_o original_n then_o shall_v we_o attribute_v this_o custom_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a true_o that_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o footstep_n of_o it_o in_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n neither_o of_o the_o old_a nor_o new_a testament_n as_o tertullian_n and_o other_o acknowledge_v and_o when_o it_o first_o come_v into_o the_o church_n we_o can_v tell_v that_o tender_a concern_v man_n have_v for_o the_o memory_n of_o their_o dead_a friend_n which_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o show_v in_o their_o oblation_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o funeral_n rite_n for_o the_o dead_a seem_v to_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o it_o and_o those_o who_o be_v convert_v from_o paganism_n to_o christianity_n may_v still_o believe_v that_o the_o dead_a challenge_v some_o part_n of_o our_o care_n and_o regard_n which_o at_o first_o be_v temper_v with_o a_o due_a respect_n to_o the_o law_n of_o christianity_n but_o soon_o increase_v into_o great_a excess_n as_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o superstition_n to_o do_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a seem_v at_o first_o to_o be_v use_v only_o at_o their_o funeral_n in_o time_n grow_v anniversary_n and_o be_v celebrate_v by_o their_o own_o friend_n and_o relation_n not_o with_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n but_o with_o some_o

bishop_n or_o priest_n make_v mention_v of_o the_o name_n of_o martyr_n and_o confessor_n and_o bishop_n and_o those_o who_o have_v deserve_v well_o of_o the_o church_n and_o particular_a christian_n
