Field, & other learned protestants, touching the question of purgatory, and prayer for the dead. VVith his particular considerations perswading him to embrace the Catholick doctrine in theis, and other points. An appendix intituled, try before you trust. Wherein some notable vntruths of D. Field, and D. Morton are discouered.	Higgons, Theophilus, 1578?-1659.	1609 (1609)	STC 13454; ESTC S104083	165,029	276

of_o nice_a thus_o also_o i_o see_v that_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o papist_n the_o doctrine_n of_o metousia_n or_o transubstantiation_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v imply_v in_o the_o

religion_n which_o though_o it_o be_v such_o a_o ignoble_a and_o a_o ungodly_a derivation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o tend_v unto_o the_o great_a contempt_n and_o ignominy_n of_o religion_n yea_o the_o

the_o essence_n and_o existency_n of_o our_o church_n 8._o the_o conclusion_n which_o yield_v itself_o unto_o i_o out_o of_o the_o former_a consideration_n be_v this_o whereas_o there_o have_v be_v no_o visible_a church_n nor_o member_n thereof_o for_o many_o hundred_o year_n which_o be_v not_o heretical_a in_o a_o high_a degree_n as_o our_o doctrine_n do_v clear_o import_v it_o follow_v either_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v fail_v or_o that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v invisible_a or_o else_o that_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n may_v err_v damnable_o in_o faith_n none_o but_o atheist_n will_v affirm_v the_o first_o the_o learn_a protestant_n deny_v the_o second_o scripture_n and_o father_n convince_v the_o three_o wherefore_o reflect_v upon_o our_o

heresy_n nor_o antichristianisme_n as_o we_o pretend_v with_o great_a violence_n than_o reason_n but_o a_o parcel_n of_o the_o true_a ancient_a catholic_n and_o apostolic_a faith_n as_o the_o papist_n
