bring_v so_o many_o that_o have_v sense_n and_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o but_o i_o shall_v pass_v by_o their_o adore_v this_o sacrament_n their_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o a_o multitude_n of_o their_o superstitious_a observance_n never_o use_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o shall_v only_o desire_v you_o madam_n to_o observe_v in_o general_a that_o the_o papist_n follow_v the_o gospel_n just_a as_o they_o read_v hebrew_n that_o be_v backward_a for_o god_n plain_o command_v that_o all_o shall_v search_v the_o scripture_n and_o our_o bless_a saviour_n order_v the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v administer_v in_o both_o kind_n 1_o cor._n 11._o chap._n 28._o v._n and_o st._n paul_n forbid_v public_a prayer_n in_o a_o unknown_a language_n but_o that_o which_o be_v most_o for_o edification_n 1_o cor._n 14_o c._n 15_o 16._o v._n but_o these_o plain_a positive_a command_n do_v not_o hinder_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o declare_v that_o unlearned_a man_n shall_v not_o read_v and_o search_v the_o scripture_n but_o if_o we_o believe_v st._n paul_n before_o the_o pope_n we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 17._o of_o the_o act_n 11._o v._n how_o he_o commend_v the_o noble_a berean_o for_o search_v the_o scripute_n and_o therefore_o if_o search_v the_o scripture_n have_v not_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o a_o commendable_a act_n certain_o st._n paul_n will_v never_o have_v commend_v they_o for_o so_o do_v so_o that_o the_o popish_a clergy_n forbid_v the_o read_v the_o scripture_n under_o a_o pretence_n that_o their_o laity_n may_v not_o true_o understand_v they_o next_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n allow_v only_o their_o clergy_n except_o free_a prince_n for_o they_o be_v excepter_n of_o person_n though_o god_n be_v not_o to_o receive_v the_o communion_n but_o in_o one_o kind_n though_o our_o saviour_n command_v that_o all_o drink_n of_o the_o cup_n and_o the_o papist_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o communion_n be_v take_v in_o both_o kind_n in_o all_o christian_a church_n for_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o last_o for_o the_o poor_a vulgar_a sort_n they_o shall_v only_o hear_v their_o public_a prayer_n in_o a_o unknown_a

i_o be_o sure_a we_o can_v nor_o do_v we_o believe_v they_o can_v without_o the_o help_n of_o another_o transubstantiation-miracle_n and_o make_v a_o unknown_a language_n to_o most_o to_o be_v change_v at_o the_o same_o time_n into_o a_o common_a know_a language_n to_o all_o and_o now_o madam_n i_o shall_v humble_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v in_o general_a that_o though_o the_o papist_n do_v out-noise_n we_o as_o shallow_a river_n do_v still_o the_o the_o deep_a with_o the_o high_a and_o mighty_a rodomontade_n of_o their_o church_n infallibility_n yet_o such_o high_a randes_z without_o true_a proof_n be_v but_o like_a schoolboy_n paper-kite_n which_o soar_v high_a and_o lofty_a but_o have_v nothing_o else_o worth_a take_v notice_n of_o they_o will_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o their_o popish_a church_n be_v the_o roman_n catholic_n and_o only_o true_a christian_a church_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o the_o protestant_n answer_v to_o this_o their_o boast_n be_v that_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n beside_o the_o popish_a church_n though_o more_o in_o number_n than_o they_o declare_v quite_o contrary_a they_o will_v ask_v you_o where_o your_o protestant_a church_n be_v before_o luther_n which_o be_v witty_o answer_v by_o one_o where_o the_o papist_n church_n never_o be_v in_o the_o bible_n the_o papist_n do_v divert_v themselves_o very_o much_o at_o our_o still_v our_o king_n head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o do_v for_o their_o do_v so_o for_o we_o esteem_v our_o king_n head_z only_o in_o his_o own_o dominion_n without_o the_o pope_n title_n of_o infallible_a and_o sure_o it_o be_v more_o rational_a that_o those_o of_o a_o kingdom_n shall_v allow_v their_o king_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n than_o that_o a_o few_o cardinal_n shall_v make_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n over_o all_o kingdom_n and_o for_o all_o their_o je_a i_o be_o sure_a we_o can_v show_v in_o sober_a earnest_n scripture-president_n for_o king_n be_v head_n of_o church_n in_o their_o own_o dominion_n which_o be_v more_o than_o the_o papist_n can_v show_v for_o their_o pope_n or_o his_o church_n infallibility_n for_o sure_a they_o can_v object_v against_o it_o as_o new_a doctrine_n though_o doctrine_n that_o be_v new_a be_v their_o great_a trade_n that_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o the_o first_o christian_n emperor_n be_v head_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n and_o in_o their_o own_o dominion_n and_o solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o divine_a sentence_n be_v in_o the_o lip_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o mouth_n transgress_v not_o in_o judgement_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a pope_n have_v not_o witness_n liberius_n and_o solomon_n give_v the_o reason_n because_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o the_o papist_n will_v pretend_v so_o much_o scripture_n for_o their_o pope_n i_o shall_v only_o answer_v it_o be_v more_o than_o ever_o protestant_n read_v or_o the_o apostle_n write_v the_o papist_n will_v tell_v you_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o confidence_n that_o though_o we_o say_v the_o bible_n be_v the_o religion_n of_o protestant_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o protestant_a religion_n or_o church_n mention_v in_o the_o whole_a creed_n which_o be_v the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o their_o church_n be_v the_o catholic_n church_n and_o to_o believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n be_v a_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n from_o the_o very_a infancy_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o apostle_n time_n now_o let_v the_o papist_n tell_v we_o if_o they_o bring_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n against_o the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o the_o bible_n or_o not_o if_o not_o what_o cause_n have_v they_o to_o name_v it_o or_o what_o need_n have_v we_o to_o answer_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v one_o we_o make_v this_o reply_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v no_o more_o name_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n than_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v f●r_v the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v make_v before_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v a_o church_n and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o can_v deny_v so_o that_o since_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v then_o in_o be_v and_o the_o roman_a church_n not_o in_o be_v it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v be_v the_o catholic_n church_n mention_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o the_o mother-church_n as_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v she_o to_o be_v thus_o the_o papist_n have_v so_o overcharge_v this_o argument_n to_o shoot_v at_o we_o as_o it_o recoil_v and_o fly_v in_o their_o own_o face_n and_o of_o kin_n to_o this_o be_v their_o grand_a batter_a piece_n of_o all_o which_o so_o thunder_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o papist_n and_o make_v the_o pope_n power_n so_o absolute_a and_o the_o poor_a credulous_a papist_n so_o obedient_a and_o that_o be_v the_o power_n give_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o st._n peter_n in_o the_o 16_o of_o st._n matthew_n begin_v the_o 18_o verse_n thou_o be_v peter_n and_o on_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n and_o give_v thou_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o whosoever_o thou_o shall_v bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whosoever_o thou_o shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n and_o these_o word_n the_o papist_n understand_v literal_o that_o st._n peter_n person_n be_v the_o rock_n that_o christ_n build_v his_o church_n on_o which_o can_v possible_o be_v by_o the_o verse_n just_a follow_v for_o there_o when_o our_o saviour_n tell_v his_o disciple_n of_o his_o go_v to_o
