A50622 Papimus Lucifugus, or, A faithfull copie of the papers exchanged betwixt Mr. Iohn Menzeis, Professor of Divinity in the Marischal-Colledge of Aberdene, and Mr. Francis Demster Iesuit, otherwise sirnamed Rin or Logan wherein the Iesuit declines to have the truth of religion examined, either by Scripture or antiquity, though frequently appealed thereunto : as also, sundry of the chief points of the popish religion are demonstrated to be repugnant both to Scripture and antiquity, yea, to the ancient Romish-Church : to all which is premised in the dedication, a true narration of a verbal conference with the same Iesuit. Menzeis, John, 1624-1684.; Dempster, Francis. 1668 (1668) Wing M1725; ESTC R2395 219,186 308

nothing_o that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o distinguish_v your_o religion_n from_o a_o false_a religion_n it_o remain_v alwise_o in_o that_o state_n as_o have_v be_v often_o tell_v you_o that_o a_o man_n

because_o i_o tax_v your_o discourse_n to_o be_v found_v upon_o gross_a ignorance_n both_o about_o the_o nature_n of_o formal_a precision_n and_o about_o the_o nature_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o to_o this_o you_o reply_v first_o that_o to_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o formal_a precision_n be_v a_o pedantic_a thing_n but_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o you_o who_o profess_v yourself_o to_o be_v a_o divine_a shall_v so_o slight_v precision_n since_o they_o be_v the_o very_a quintessence_n of_o all_o superior_a science_n and_o aristotle_n may_v teach_v you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o science_n of_o

whereby_o it_o be_v both_o constitute_v and_o distinguish_v from_o all_o other_o science_n next_o you_o remit_v i_o to_o your_o schoolboy_n who_o will_v teach_v i_o the_o nature_n of_o formal_a

as_o appear_v in_o this_o same_o answer_n that_o you_o make_v here_o for_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o objective_a ground_n of_o precision_n be_v separability_n and_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v sound_a betwixt_o truth_n reveal_v in_o scripture_n and_o true_a religion_n and_o that_o on_o both_o part_n because_o true_a religion_n be_v separable_a from_o conformity_n with_o scripture_n since_o there_o be_v true_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n before_o there_o be_v any_o scripture_n write_v and_o on_o the_o other_o part_n all_z the_o truth_n reveal_v in_o scripture_n may_v be_v though_o they_o compon_v no_o religion_n to_o wit_n if_o god_n have_v so_o reveal_v they_o that_o he_o have_v not_o impose_v a_o obligation_n upon_o we_o to_o believe_v they_o as_o he_o may_v have_v do_v or_o wherefore_o may_v he_o not_o have_v do_v it_o now_o to_o impugn_v this_o you_o bring_v text_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la this_o obligation_n to_o believe_v be_v not_o separate_v i_o speak_v of_o separability_n and_o what_o god_n may_v have_v do_v and_o you_o argue_v against_o actual_a separation_n as_o if_o i_o have_v say_v that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la there_o be_v no_o obligation_n to_o believe_v thing_n reveal_v in_o scripture_n be_v you_o not_o ashamed_a of_o such_o ignorant_a mistake_n or_o be_v not_o well_o apply_v to_o you_o those_o civil_a term_n that_o yourself_o use_v in_o this_o paper_n to_o wit_n that_o you_o behove_v to_o be_v drink_v or_o dream_v when_o their_o thing_n escape_v your_o pen_n likewise_o how_o gross_a mistake_n be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o i_o grant_v that_o a_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a and_o to_o be_v conform_v to_o scripture_n be_v synonima_n whereas_o i_o say_v only_o this_o ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la and_o to_o argue_v you_o out_o of_o your_o own_o principle_n who_o admit_v no_o rule_n of_o divine_a truth_n but_o the_o write_v word_n and_o in_o this_o you_o imitat_fw-la many_o other_o of_o your_o champion_n who_o

that_o the_o sense_n which_o you_o give_v to_o the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o true_a sense_n because_o it_o coincid_v
then_o apologise_v for_o i_o one_o objection_n must_v needs_o be_v remove_v it_o may_v be_v ask_v how_o i_o do_v charge_n the_o jesuit_n as_o decline_v to_o have_v the_o truth_n of_o religion_n

unless_o with_o the_o infidel_n you_o shall_v question_v the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n but_o when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o indubitable_a test_n for_o discern_v the_o
