A59901	A vindication of some Protestant principles of Church-unity and Catholick-communion, from the charge of agreement with the Church of Rome in answer to a late pamphlet, intituled, an agreement between the Church of England and the Church of Rome, evinced from the concertation of some of her sons with their brethren the dissenters / by William Sherlock ...

no_o soon_o say_v it_o but_o he_o unsay_v it_o again_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o those_o who_o be_v for_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o the_o supreme_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o pope_n over_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n visible_a do_v hold_v the_o divine_a right_o to_o be_v but_o mediate_v mediante_a papa_n but_o the_o follower_n of_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n and_o basil_n be_v against_o the_o supreme_a uncontrollable_a power_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o for_o the_o immediate_a divine_a right_n of_o episcopacy_n and_o it_o be_v notorious_a from_o the_o debate_n in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n that_o the_o french_a spanish_a and_o many_o other_o roman-catholic_n stick_v to_o their_o immediate_a divine_a right_n too_o and_o the_o great_a reason_n why_o opposition_n be_v make_v in_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n against_o the_o immediate_a divine_a right_n of_o bishop_n be_v a_o opinion_n that_o the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o be_v secure_v on_o the_o grant_v it_o but_o dr._n sherlock_n have_v find_v out_o a_o notion_n which_o will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o they_o for_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o a_o primacy_n be_v a_o great_a step_n to_o the_o supremacy_n and_o this_o the_o doctor_n do_v establish_v consistent_o enough_o with_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o bishop_n as_o for_o my_o own_o notion_n i_o have_v sufficient_o vindicate_v that_o already_o from_o do_v any_o service_n to_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o see_v no_o occasion_n to_o add_v any_o thing_n more_o here_o but_o i_o wonder_v he_o shall_v pitch_v upon_o this_o instance_n of_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o episcopacy_n to_o show_v the_o agreement_n between_o the_o two_o church_n when_o he_o himself_o be_v force_v to_o acknowledge_v what_o fierce_a debate_n there_o be_v in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n about_o this_o matter_n he_o say_v indeed_o and_o that_o very_o true_o that_o the_o french_a and_o spanish_a bishop_n in_o the_o council_n do_v dispute_v very_o vehement_o for_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o episcopacy_n and_o he_o know_v what_o a_o prevail_a opposition_n be_v make_v against_o it_o the_o pope_n send_v express_v order_n to_o the_o legate_n that_o whatever_o they_o do_v they_o shall_v not_o suffer_v that_o to_o pass_v laynez_n the_o jesuit_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o legate_n and_o papalin_n to_o make_v a_o elaborate_a lecture_n against_o it_o wherein_o he_o assert_n that_o christ_n etc._n build_v his_o church_n upon_o peter_n who_o name_n signify_v a_o stone_n in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o syriack_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o most_o catholic_n exposition_n peter_n himself_o be_v that_o rock_n whereon_o christ_n build_v his_o church_n that_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v give_v to_o peter_n only_o and_o by_o consequence_n power_n to_o bring_v in_o and_o to_o shut_v out_o which_o be_v jurisdiction_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o church_n be_v commit_v to_o peter_n only_o and_o his_o successor_n and_o if_o the_o bishop_n have_v receive_v any_o jurisdiction_n from_o christ_n it_o will_v be_v equal_a in_o all_o and_o no_o difference_n between_o patriarch_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n neither_o can_v the_o pope_n meddle_v with_o that_o authority_n to_o diminish_v or_o take_v it_o all_o away_o as_o he_o can_v do_v in_o the_o power_n of_o order_n which_o be_v from_o god._n that_o to_o make_v the_o institution_n of_o bishop_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la take_v away_o the_o hierarchy_n and_o introduce_v a_o oligarchy_n or_o rather_o a_o anarchy_n that_o according_a to_o the_o order_n institute_v by_o christ_n the_o apostle_n be_v ordain_v bishop_n not_o by_o christ_n but_o by_o st_n peter_n receive_v jurisdiction_n from_o he_o only_o or_o if_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n christ_n only_o prevent_v st._n peter_n office_n for_o that_o one_o time_n that_o the_o bishop_n be_v ordinary_n because_o by_o the_o pope_n law_n they_o be_v make_v a_o dignity_n of_o perpetual_a succession_n in_o the_o church_n that_o council_n themselves_o have_v no_o authority_n but_o from_o the_o pope_n for_o if_o every_o particular_a bishop_n in_o council_n may_v err_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o they_o may_v all_o err_v together_o and_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o council_n proceed_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o bishop_n it_o can_v never_o be_v call_v general_n because_o the_o number_n of_o the_o assistant_n be_v always_o incomparable_o less_o than_o that_o of_o the_o absent_a with_o much_o more_o to_o this_o purpose_n which_o be_v all_o full_a and_o home_o to_o the_o point_n which_o as_o the_o bishop_n of_o paris_n observe_v in_o his_o censure_n of_o it_o make_v but_o one_o bishop_n institute_v by_o christ_n and_o the_o other_o not_o to_o have_v any_o authority_n but_o dependent_a from_o he_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o bishop_n and_o the_o other_o be_v his_o vicar_n to_o be_v remove_v at_o his_o pleasure_n whatever_o opposition_n be_v make_v against_o this_o in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n it_o can_v never_o prevail_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n be_v advance_v in_o that_o council_n to_o its_o great_a height_n and_o glory_n but_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o episcopacy_n be_v drop_v though_o the_o whole_a council_n be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o supremacy_n and_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o episcopacy_n be_v inconsistent_a for_o this_o reason_n the_o pope_n and_o legates_n and_o italian_a bishop_n oppose_v the_o divine_a institution_n of_o the_o episcopacy_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o other_o party_n so_o vehement_o contend_v for_o it_o and_o then_o i_o will_v leave_v any_o man_n to_o judge_v which_o of_o these_o two_o opinion_n must_v pass_v for_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o council_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o wish_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v agree_v with_o we_o in_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o episcopacy_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n but_o unless_o all_o party_n in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v very_o much_o mistake_v the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n as_o it_o be_v teach_v by_o that_o council_n do_v utter_o overthrow_v the_o divine_a institution_n of_o bishop_n and_o make_v they_o only_o the_o pope_n creature_n and_o dependent_n 3._o as_o for_o his_o three_o head_n of_o agreement_n about_o the_o hierarchy_n which_o be_v make_v up_o of_o archbishop_n bishop_n dean_n prebend_n canon_n arch-deacon_n chancellor_n official_o priest_n deacon_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v only_o a_o ecclesiastical_a body_n of_o human_a institution_n for_o the_o good_a government_n and_o discipline_n of_o such_o combine_a church_n and_o alterable_a again_o as_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o church_n require_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o essential_a difference_n between_o such_o protestant_a national_a combination_n of_o church_n and_o the_o popish_a hierarchy_n the_o first_o be_v independent_a on_o any_o foreign_a power_n be_v perfect_a and_o entire_a in_o itself_o the_o second_o have_v a_o oecumenick_n pastor_n for_o its_o head_n and_o derive_v its_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o he_o and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o be_v say_v about_o our_o agreement_n in_o the_o ministry_n ii_o the_o ceremony_n or_o external_n worship_n this_o be_v the_o next_o instance_n of_o agreement_n between_o 47._o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o any_o man_n who_o consider_v the_o matter_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o much_o surprise_v at_o it_o for_o if_o the_o two_o church_n be_v so_o very_o well_o agree_v about_o ceremony_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n to_o this_o day_n have_v reject_v such_o a_o vast_a number_n of_o ceremony_n as_o be_v then_o and_o still_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o for_o my_o part_n it_o be_v my_o desire_n and_o prayer_n that_o they_o may_v always_o agree_v so_o while_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n maintain_v and_o practise_v such_o a_o corrupt_a worship_n to_o make_v this_o out_o he_o say_v our_o first_o reformer_n oppose_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o the_o same_o principle_n that_o our_o dissenter_n now_o oppose_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n viz._n by_o this_o argument_n all_o uninstituted_a worship_n be_v false_a superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a worship_n but_o the_o romish_a ceremonious_a worship_n be_v uninstitute_v ergo._fw-la and_o if_o our_o author_n can_v show_v i_o any_o such_o argument_n urge_v by_o
