this_o noise_n of_o misrepresent_v the_o papist_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v any_o one_o clear_a instance_n to_o support_v the_o charge_n the_o point_n be_v clear_o gain_v and_o he_o

protestant_n desire_v they_o to_o compare_v such_o papist_n as_o be_v of_o their_o acquaintance_n with_o the_o character_n of_o papist_n they_o have_v hear_v from_o the_o pulpit_n thereby_o to_o

be_v make_v of_o they_o that_o so_o we_o may_v discover_v whether_o not_o only_o the_o vulgar_a among_o protestant_n be_v deceive_v in_o their_o notion_n of_o popery_n but_o likewise_o what_o be_v of_o more_o importance_n whether_o those_o who_o be_v oblige_v by_o their_o station_n and_o character_n to_o be_v more_o sincere_a i_o mean_v their_o guide_n do_v not_o most_o evident_o contribute_v to_o the_o imprint_v these_o wrong_a notion_n in_o the_o people_n and_o upon_o such_o false_a ground_n lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o vncharitableness_n animosity_n and_o

the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o in_o all_o this_o time_n misrepresent_v and_o whether_o my_o boast_v adversary_n have_v a_o face_n to_o deny_v that_o after_o all_o our_o

the_o innocent_a as_o guilty_a and_o that_o of_o the_o most_o hellish_a of_o crime_n be_v not_o misrepresent_v there_o be_v then_o i_o confess_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o world._n and_o yet_o however_o the_o papist_n have_v be_v most_o barbarous_o use_v upon_o the_o suppose_a gild_n of_o these_o crime_n attest_v only_o by_o profligate_v wretch_n and_o assert_v by_o the_o pulpit_n yet_o the_o answerer_n in_o his_o apology_n pag._n 5_o 6._o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o humility_n of_o do_v the_o papist_n right_a in_o the_o case_n and_o compassionate_v they_o for_o the_o cruelty_n that_o by_o these_o mean_n be_v most_o unjust_o draw_v upon_o they_o that_o he_o only_o mince_v the_o matter_n with_o his_o iss_n and_o his_o and_o be_v and_o be_v resolve_v to_o say_v something_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o pulpit_n he_o conclude_v that_o if_o they_o err_v in_o preach_v thus_o against_o the_o papist_n they_o err_v with_o those_o before_o who_o they_o preach_v that_o be_v with_o the_o great_a tribunal_n and_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o defence_n in_o some_o manner_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o papist_n do_v not_o only_o wrongful_o suffer_v in_o their_o reputation_n from_o the_o pulpit_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o great_a tribunal_n and_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n i_o have_v all_o along_o pretend_v to_o prove_v so_o that_o i_o hope_v now_o after_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o evidence_n of_o perjury_n and_o the_o

dwell_v long_o upon_o this_o ungrateful_a subject_n only_o one_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o wonder_v at_o and_o it_o be_v that_o since_o the_o pulpit_n have_v so_o great_a a_o share_n in_o imprint_v these_o false_a and_o unjust_a notion_n in_o the_o people_n concern_v the_o papist_n how_o it_o happen_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n hear_v from_o those_o place_n in_o satisfaction_n of_o

set_v out_o thus_o black_a and_o deform_v by_o they_o who_o have_v no_o more_o respect_n for_o their_o own_o church_n than_o thus_o to_o expose_v what_o she_o approve_v but_o of_o this_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o the_o five_o be_v a_o great_a calumny_n and_o only_o a_o empty_a consequence_n of_o the_o preacher_n instead_o of_o what_o we_o profess_v and_o though_o the_o apologizer_n pretend_v to_o make_v it_o out_o viz._n that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o ignorance_n by_o vow_n and_o instance_n in_o the_o monk_n friar_n and_o other_o religious_a man_n yet_o every_o library_n in_o the_o

that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v virtue_n to_o be_v bad_a and_o vice_n to_o be_v good_a if_o it_o shall_v please_v his_o holiness_n to_o say_v so_o as_o the_o preacher_n positive_o declare_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_n defend_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o pope_n so_o to_o err_v as_o to_o declare_v virtue_n to_o be_v bad_a and_o vice_n to_o be_v good_a it_o be_v his_o

that_o the_o scripture_n can_v err_v in_o command_v vice_n or_o forbid_v virtue_n shall_v thus_o argue_v if_o the_o scripture_n can_v thus_o err_v in_o command_v vice_n or_o forbid_v virtue_n we_o

so_o err_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v our_o case_n in_o which_o the_o preacher_n most_o abusive_o and_o false_o set_v out_o the_o inconvenience_n from_o which_o bellarmine_n argue_v for_o his_o conclusion_n or_o doctrine_n which_o be_v a_o most_o inexcusable_a aspersion_n i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o examine_v this_o place_n of_o bellarmine_n de_n rom._n pont._n l._n 4._o c._n 5._o to_o

preacher_n pretend_v only_o that_o more_o care_n be_v take_v that_o they_o live_v single_o than_o that_o they_o live_v honest_o and_o this_o chief_o because_o the_o punishment_n for_o a_o clergyman_n that_o marry_v be_v much_o great_a than_o for_o one_o that_o keep_v his_o concubine_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o

penalty_n even_o of_o death_n itself_o for_o such_o as_o become_v papist_n but_o none_o at_o all_o for_o those_o that_o turn_v turk_n and_o because_o it_o be_v thus_o evident_a that_o she_o take_v more_o care_n in_o the_o one_o case_n than_o in_o the_o other_o be_v this_o enough_o to_o justify_v a_o preacher_n in_o declare_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v careful_a indeed_o to_o
