the_o honour_n which_o be_v give_v to_o creature_n may_v have_v relation_n to_o god_n viz._n because_o we_o honour_v they_o for_o god_n sake_n and_o upon_o account_n of_o their_o relation_n to_o he_o but_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o this_o relation_n to_o god_n make_v the_o honour_n of_o creature_n a_o religious_a honour_n for_o though_o we_o honour_v creature_n for_o god_n sake_n yet_o the_o honour_n we_o give_v to_o creature_n must_v be_v suitable_a to_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o therefore_o not_o that_o religious_a honour_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o as_o when_o

we_o honour_v he_o for_o their_o sake_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v give_v religious_a honour_n to_o any_o creature_n it_o will_v not_o justify_v she_o in_o give_v religious_a honour_n to_o creature_n that_o she_o honour_v they_o for_o god_n sake_n for_o creature_n be_v creature_n still_o though_o never_o so_o near_o relate_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o

the_o church_n of_o rome_n about_o the_o object_n of_o religious_a worship_n for_o if_o by_o all_o religious_a worship_n be_v terminate_v on_o god_n he_o mean_v that_o no_o other_o be_v must_v be_v

the_o remembrance_n of_o those_o they_o represent_v and_o mighty_o wonder_v at_o the_o little_a justice_n of_o those_o who_o treat_v with_o the_o term_n of_o idolatry_n that_o religious_a sentiment_n which_o move_v they_o to_o uncover_v their_o head_n or_o bow_v they_o before_o the_o image_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o who_o be_v crucify_v for_o the_o love_n of_o we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o heathen_a idolater_n that_o they_o declare_v that_o they_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o image_n but_o to_o raise_v the_o mind_n towards_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v there_o honour_n jesus_n christ_n or_o his_o saint_n and_o in_o the_o saint_n god_n himself_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o sanctity_n

who_o likeness_n they_o bear_v these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o council_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a odd_a comment_n upon_o such_o a_o text_n to_o say_v that_o image_n serve_v only_o for_o

i_o suppose_v have_v be_v sufficient_o answer_v already_o but_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v a_o very_a pleasant_a argument_n he_o have_v against_o what_o i_o assert_v that_o no_o intention_n can_v

so_o many_o us_n among_o they_o that_o possible_o some_o protestant_n may_v mistake_v one_o we_o for_o another_o they_o practice_n indeed_o general_o much_o alike_o but_o they_o believe_v different_o and_o they_o represent_v different_o and_o they_o expound_v the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o council_n different_o and_o i_o hope_v protestant_n may_v without_o any_o offence_n say_v how_o and_o wherein_o they_o differ_v and_o i_o think_v we_o can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o misrepresent_v while_o we_o relate_v matter_n of_o fact_n true_o what_o their_o practice_n be_v and_o what_o their_o

opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n and_o hold_v these_o forth_o for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n and_o that_o in_o charge_v any_o practice_n they_o charge_v no_o more_o than_o be_v concern_v now_o this_o be_v very_o reasonable_a if_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o abuse_n as_o be_v not_o allow_v and_o countenance_v by_o the_o church_n and_o of_o such_o cruelty_n as_o be_v not_o practise_v encourage_v commend_v by_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o justify_v by_o the_o decree_n and_o canon_n of_o pope_n and_o council_n or_o of_o such_o odd_a opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n as_o steal_v into_o the_o world_n without_o public_a authority_n and_o be_v censure_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v know_v but_o as_o far_o as_o the_o church_n give_v any_o countenance_n and_o authority_n to_o such_o abuse_n cruelty_n odd_a opinion_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o protestant_n may_v not_o complain_v of_o
these_o thing_n and_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o they_o and_o not_o like_o that_o church_n ever_o the_o better_a which_o suffer_v such_o abuse_n and_o applaud_v such_o cruelty_n as_o papist_n themselves_o who_o have_v not_o put_v off_o all_o humanity_n can_v but_o abhor_v 3._o that_o as_o often_o as_o they_o tell_v what_o they_o think_v of_o our_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n they_o will_v likewise_o at_o the_o same_o time_n inform_v their_o hearer_n that_o those_o thought_n be_v as_o the_o replier_n say_v opinion_n interpretation_n and_o consequence_n of_o their_o own_o

and_o therefore_o undertake_v to_o reply_v to_o they_o myself_o and_o particular_o examine_v every_o thing_n he_o have_v say_v in_o return_n to_o this_o he_o publish_v another_o answer_n which_o he_o call_v papist_n protest_v against_o protestant_a popery_n and_o i_o think_v it_o will_v come_v to_o bare_a protest_v at_o last_o for_o his_o reason_n and_o argument_n run_v very_o low_o before_o this_o i_o have_v now_o consider_v and_o i_o think_v have_v not_o suffer_v any_o thing_n to_o escape_v without_o a_o answer_n but_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v the_o better_o understand_v what_o a_o formidable_a adversary_n this_o be_v i_o shall_v brief_o compare_v the_o reply_n with_o his_o answer_n and_o then_o leave_v he_o to_o judge_n of_o the_o ingenuity_n and_o honesty_n of_o the_o protester_n in_o answer_n to_o his_o fresh_a complaint_n of_o misrepresent_v in_o my_o reply_n i_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o misrepresent_v viz._n to_o charge_v they_o with_o such_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n dâ—sowns_n and_o prove_v from_o his_o own_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v that_o we_o be_v no_o misrepresenter_n for_o what_o he_o make_v we_o charge_v they_o with_o believe_v and_o do_v in_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v that_o he_o own_v and_o defend_v in_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n represent_v and_o the_o only_a difference_n in_o most_o case_n between_o these_o two_o character_n be_v this_o that_o in_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v he_o put_v in_o all_o the_o ill_a thing_n which_o protestant_n say_v of_o their_o faith_n and_o worship_n and_o in_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n represent_v he_o say_v all_o the_o good_a thing_n he_o can_v of_o it_o but_o this_o i_o tell_v he_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o representation_n but_o dispute_v and_o therefore_o whatever_o guilt_n we_o charge_v their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n with_o this_o be_v not_o to_o misrepresent_v while_o we_o charge_v they_o with_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v their_o faith_n and_o practice_n to_o represent_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v only_o to_o report_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o he_o who_o report_v true_o can_v misrepresent_v if_o we_o charge_v they_o with_o any_o guilt_n which_o they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o chargeable_a with_o this_o become_v matter_n of_o dispute_n and_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o confute_v such_o a_o charge_n to_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v so_o ill_o of_o their_o own_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n as_o we_o protestant_n do_v by_o this_o rule_n i_o examine_v the_o thirty_o seven_o particular_n of_o his_o character_n and_o careful_o distinguish_v between_o matter_n of_o representation_n and_o dispute_n and_o all_o this_o he_o grant_v and_o yet_o in_o his_o answer_n fall_v a_o protest_v against_o protestant_a popery_n as_o if_o we_o have_v make_v a_o new_a religion_n for_o they_o whereas_o we_o only_o tell_v they_o what_o the_o fault_n of_o their_o religion_n be_v and_o this_o he_o call_v protestant_a popery_n that_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o protestant_n concern_v popery_n and_o this_o he_o protest_v against_o which_o be_v a_o much_o easy_a way_n than_o to_o confute_v it_o and_o now_o instead_o of_o defend_v his_o own_o character_n wherein_o he_o have_v charge_v we_o with_o misrepresent_v papist_n and_o which_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o he_o in_o effect_n grant_v to_o be_v no_o misrepresentation_n he_o seek_v about_o to_o find_v out_o some_o new_a protestant_a misrepresenter_n and_o fill_v up_o several_a page_n with_o citation_n out_o of_o the_o manual_a of_o john_n archbishop_n of_o york_n mr._n sutcliff_n and_o other_o now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v show_v that_o the_o distinction_n between_o matter_n of_o representation_n and_o dispute_n by_o which_o i_o answer_v his_o own_o character_n will_v not_o justify_v these_o misrepresenter_n also_o as_o most_o certain_o it_o will_v and_o a_o hundred_o more_o if_o he_o can_v find_v they_o but_o he_o say_v not_o one_o word_n of_o this_o but_o only_o cite_v their_o word_n and_o call_v it_o misrepresent_v but_o beside_o this_o he_o have_v use_v very_o foul_a play_n to_o make_v misrepresenter_n of_o they_o the_o archbishop_n only_o transcribe_v out_o of_o popish_a author_n and_o cite_v his_o authority_n the_o protester_n set_v all_o down_o as_o the_o archbishop_n word_n without_o let_v his_o reader_n know_v that_o papist_n teach_v these_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o archbishop_n only_o repeat_v they_o after_o they_o but_o beside_o conceal_v the_o popish_a authority_n
answerers_n way_n of_o proceed_v which_o i_o reduce_v to_o four_o head_n 58._o 1._o that_o the_o answerer_n in_o some_o point_n own_v the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o have_v represent_v to_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o a_o roman-catholick_n to_o be_v the_o establish_a belief_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n this_o i_o prove_v not_o to_o be_v true_a by_o a_o particular_a examination_n of_o those_o instance_n he_o give_v 61._o 2._o he_o charge_v the_o answerer_n with_o appeal_n from_o the_o definition_n of_o their_o council_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o church_n to_o some_o expression_n find_v in_o old_a mass-book_n ritual_n etc._n etc._n this_o i_o show_v also_o that_o the_o answerer_n have_v not_o do_v 3._o that_o he_o appeal_v from_o the_o declaration_n of_o their_o council_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o church_n to_o some_o external_a action_n as_o in_o case_n of_o respect_n show_v to_o image_n and_o saint_n upon_o which_o from_o our_o external_a adoration_n you_o be_v willing_a to_o conclude_v we_o guilty_a of_o idolatry_n whereas_o he_o think_v we_o must_v not_o judge_n of_o these_o action_n without_o respect_n to_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o church_n who_o command_v they_o 63._o and_o of_o the_o person_n who_o do_v they_o 4._o that_o he_o appeal_v from_o their_o council_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o church_n to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o their_o private_a author_n these_o objection_n i_o answer_v at_o large_a in_o my_o reply_n 67._o but_o he_o have_v return_v not_o one_o word_n to_o any_o of_o they_o except_v the_o three_o and_o how_o he_o have_v answer_v
