salvation_n and_o of_o this_o i_o desire_v the_o defender_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o i_o answer_v his_o challenge_n and_o here_o do_v

their_o papist_n this_o declaration_n i_o make_v for_o his_o satisfaction_n since_o he_o desire_v it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v as_o he_o say_v i_o here_o do_v it_o now_o if_o this_o will_v end_v the_o controversy_n but_o i_o must_v caution_n he_o to_o be_v a_o little_a more_o reasonable_a than_o when_o he_o make_v the_o late_a resolution_n of_o think_v nothing_o to_o be_v detestable_a among_o all_o the_o doctrine_n lay_v to_o we_o beside_o such_o as_o i_o express_o reject_v since_o it_o be_v impossible_a i_o shall_v ever_o sum_v they_o up_o there_o be_v scarce_o a_o sermon_n or_o book_n of_o they_o but_o what_o furnish_v fresh_a matter_n and_o like_o ill_a weed_n grow_v every_o day_n however_o if_o he_o will_v but_o send_v i_o word_n when_o the_o guide_n of_o his_o church_n be_v become_v such_o lover_n of_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n as_o to_o leave_v off_o calumniate_a and_o throw_v dirt_n against_o we_o i_o shall_v then_o be_v in_o some_o hope_n of_o bring_v the_o detestable_a doctrine_n into_o number_n but_o till_o then_o he_o must_v never_o expect_v to_o see_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o desire_v he_o to_o draw_v i_o up_o a_o exact_a catalogue_n of_o all_o and_o every_o sin_n by_o which_o the_o commandment_n be_v break_v if_o he_o will_v but_o offer_v at_o this_o he_o may_v fall_v something_o into_o the_o

of_o be_v misrepresent_v and_o though_o some_o have_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o pretend_v that_o we_o have_v not_o produce_v one_o clear_a instance_n of_o it_o yet_o that_o now_o we_o have_v many_o and_o many_o more_o they_o may_v have_v if_o it_o be_v require_v and_o this_o i_o hope_v be_v sufficient_a to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o one_o half_a of_o the_o controversy_n which_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o the_o first_o book_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o papist_n be_v misrepresent_v and_o if_o any_o make_v exception_n against_o the_o character_n of_o he_o thus_o disguise_v as_o it_o be_v

for_o the_o other_o part_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o papist_n represent_v i_o here_o own_o it_o again_o that_o it_o be_v the_o papist_n i_o be_o and_o whoever_o assent_v to_o that_o character_n in_o that_o very_a form_n have_v do_v what_o be_v require_v as_o to_o those_o particular_n to_o be_v make_v a_o member_n of_o our_o communion_n this_o offer_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v answer_v over_o and_o over_o but_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n defeat_v all_o those_o answer_n and_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o shuffle_n for_o whilst_o a_o man_n may_v be_v

to_o think_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o reach_v to_o every_o particular_a be_v more_o than_o ever_o i_o can_v pretend_v to_o and_o to_o this_o difficulty_n i_o desire_v this_o answerer_n to_o let_v i_o

to_o be_v a_o papist_n be_v to_o believe_v all_o as_o they_o have_v lay_v it_o out_o in_o their_o pulpit_n and_o for_o the_o render_v these_o kind_n of_o religious_a fraud_n unsuccessful_a i_o in_o my_o first_o book_n present_v the_o reader_n with_o a_o view_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o doctrine_n as_o receive_v and_o profess_v in_o our_o church_n and_o in_o assign_v matter_n of_o

thus_o positive_o determine_v by_o the_o
church_n representative_a or_o be_v so_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o whole_a body_n diffusive_a which_o be_v still_o equivalent_a to_o it_o and_o the_o currant_n pass_v of_o the_o book_n and_o general_a reception_n of_o it_o among_o catholic_n argue_v strong_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v exact_a as_o to_o all_o this_o but_o because_o i_o design_v that_o book_n for_o the_o public_a i_o do_v not_o content_v myself_o with_o the_o bare_a state_v such_o our_o avow_v doctrine_n or_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o likewise_o add_v short_a exposition_n in_o relation_n to_o some_o protestant_a objection_n general_o make_v to_o each_o article_n of_o how_o can_v this_o be_v wherefore_o be_v this_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o exposition_n i_o own_o to_o be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o

from_o be_v my_o private_a sentiment_n that_o the_o reader_n may_v find_v the_o same_o in_o our_o ordinary_a scripture-catechisms_a of_o which_o there_o have_v be_v print_v in_o this_o nation_n in_o a_o few_o year_n not_o less_o than_o twenty_o thousand_o and_o i_o hope_v so_o general_a a_o reception_n be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v they_o against_o all_o caviller_n and_o to_o convince_v any_o consider_a man_n that_o to_o assent_v to_o the_o catholic_a faith_n as_o so_o expound_v which_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o what_o protestant_n say_v or_o to_o the_o pulpit-popery_n be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o member_n of_o our_o church_n and_o if_o there_o be_v other_o way_n of_o expound_v the_o same_o article_n there_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n in_o this_o since_o where_o the_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o there_o may_v be_v variety_n of_o opinion_n as_o to_o the_o how_o be_v for_o the_o whys_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v the_o answerer_n will_v understand_v if_o he_o please_v but_o to_o review_v the_o exposition_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o which_o though_o the_o author_n undertake_v to_o propose_v that_o form_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v open_o

he_o may_v have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o call_v in_o question_n the_o title_n of_o that_o book_n as_o that_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o way_n i_o think_v it_o ought_v to_o bear_v thus_o a_o exposition_n of_o some_o body_n private_a sentiment_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o leave_v he_o to_o consider_v this_o a_o while_n but_o i_o

as_o to_o dig_v or_o make_v almanac_n rather_o than_o write_v controversy_n for_o this_o gentleman_n can_v tell_v he_o that_o to_o impose_v upon_o man_n in_o book_n of_o divinity_n and_o to_o take_v
