and_o here_o the_o jesuit_n find_v another_o misrepresentation_n that_o by_o the_o incarnation_n god_n be_v visible_o represent_v to_o we_o in_o our_o nature_n but_o the_o papist_n not_o content_v with_o this_o contrary_n to_o the_o design_n of_o god_n make_v man_n make_v and_o adore_v other_o image_n of_o god._n here_o he_o have_v conceal_v what_o my_o argument_n be_v but_o the_o thing_n be_v true_a that_o though_o god_n give_v we_o a_o visible_a image_n of_o himself_o to_o cure_v the_o idolatry_n of_o image-worship_n yet_o this_o be_v still_o retain_v and_o practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o sum_v up_o this_o argument_n i_o say_v since_o it_o be_v one_o main_a design_n of_o christ_n appearance_n to_o root_v out_o idolatry_n be_v it_o credible_a that_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n the_o worship_n of_o image_n and_o relic_n as_o it_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v be_v any_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a worship_n or_o allow_v by_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o creature-worship_n and_o image-worship_n be_v so_o offensive_a to_o god_n here_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o creature_n and_o image_n still_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o visible_a idolatry_n that_o ever_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o world_n before_o this_o be_v another_o of_o his_o misrepresentation_n but_o very_o true_a no_o understanding_n papist_n that_o have_v any_o modesty_n can_v deny_v that_o they_o worship_v creature_n and_o image_n for_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v worship_v be_v determine_v by_o their_o own_o council_n now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o salvo_fw-la to_o deliver_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v creature_n and_o image_n when_o the_o heathen_n be_v

argument_n to_o show_v how_o improbable_a it_o be_v that_o christ_n who_o come_v to_o extirpate_v all_o idolatry_n shall_v still_o allow_v the_o external_a and_o visible_a worship_n of_o creature_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o idolatry_n yet_o be_v all_o that_o be_v visible_a in_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o heathen_n and_o it_o have_v better_o become_v he_o to_o have_v answer_v this_o argument_n than_o to_o have_v call_v it_o a_o misrepresentation_n i_o observe_v far_a that_o the_o great_a difference_n the_o papist_n can_v pretend_v between_o their_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o image_n and_o what_o the_o heathen_n do_v whereby_o to_o excuse_v themselves_o from_o idolatry_n notwithstanding_o they_o worship_v creature_n and_o image_n as_o the_o heathen_n do_v be_v that_o they_o have_v better_a notion_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o image_n than_o the_o heathen_n have_v but_o i_o say_v whether_o they_o have_v or_o no_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o prove_v the_o pagan_a philosopher_n make_v the_o same_o apology_n for_o their_o worship_n of_o angel_n and_o daemon_n and_o image_n which_o the_o learned_a papist_n now_o make_v and_o whether_o unlearned_a papist_n have_v not_o as_o gross_a notion_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o their_o saint_n and_o image_n as_o the_o unlearned_a heathen_n have_v be_v very_o doubtful_a and_o have_v be_v very_o much_o suspect_v by_o learned_a romanist_n themselves_o this_o he_o put_v down_o for_o another_o misrepresentation_n though_o all_o learned_a man_n know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a have_v he_o ever_o read_v origen_n against_o celsus_n he_o will_v have_v know_v that_o that_o philosopher_n have_v teach_v the_o roman_a doctor_n how_o to_o defend_v the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o image_n

that_o christ_n who_o come_v to_o make_v a_o more_o perfect_a reformation_n shall_v only_o change_v their_o country-god_n into_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o give_v new_a name_n to_o their_o statue_n and_o image_n this_o he_o call_v a_o misrepresentation_n too_o though_o it_o neither_o represent_v nor_o misrepresent_v any_o body_n that_o i_o know_v of_o but_o only_o argue_v what_o christ_n be_v likely_a to_o do_v for_o have_v christ_n only_o forbid_v the_o worship_n of_o pagan_a god_n and_o set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n it_o have_v not_o be_v to_o

to_o set_v up_o image_n to_o saint_n thus_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o misrepresentation_n charge_v upon_o the_o first_o section_n of_o the_o preservative_n as_o for_o his_o own_o representation_n

to_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n that_o be_v when_o we_o be_v convince_v of_o his_o infallibility_n we_o must_v then_o believe_v he_o upon_o his_o own_o word_n but_o not_o till_o then_o and_o

of_o scripture_n and_o the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v which_o be_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o as_o there_o never_o be_v such_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n who_o we_o must_v in_o all_o case_n

he_o can_v be_v infallible_a in_o nothing_o protestant_n believe_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o be_v infallible_o true_a and_o this_o they_o
