they_o opis_fw-la impetrandae_fw-la causâ_fw-la as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n direct_v this_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o own_a by_o the_o representer_n now_o we_o think_v this_o be_v to_o ascribe_v divinity_n to_o they_o if_o religious_a worship_n signify_v any_o divinity_n in_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n this_o the_o misrepresenter_n put_v into_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n which_o we_o never_o do_v and_o the_o representer_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n deny_v that_o they_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n which_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v be_v true_a but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o give_v a_o divinity_n to_o they_o by_o worship_v they_o and_o this_o we_o assert_v they_o do_v and_o this_o they_o may_v do_v without_o believe_v any_o divinity_n in_o they_o v._o of_o the_o eucharist_n as_o for_o worship_v the_o host_n we_o only_o charge_v they_o with_o worship_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n which_o we_o say_v be_v bread_n still_o but_o which_o they_o say_v be_v the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n and_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o for_o so_o do_v some_o protestant_n charge_v they_o with_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v a_o breaden_a god_n and_o some_o papist_n acknowledge_v it_o will_v be_v idolatry_n if_o what_o they_o worship_v be_v only_a bread_n and_o not_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o no_o protestant_a ever_o give_v such_o a_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n that_o he_o believe_v it_o lawful_a to_o commit_v idolatry_n that_o he_o worship_v and_o adore_v what_o he_o believe_v only_o to_o be_v a_o breaden_a god_n and_o the_o poor_a empty_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o a_o papist_n believe_v but_o what_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o whether_o he_o believe_v the_o host_n to_o be_v only_a bread_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o not_o not_o whether_o he_o believe_v idolatry_n to_o be_v lawful_a but_o whether_o he_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v the_o host_n and_o therefore_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n for_o those_o who_o believe_v that_o he_o worship_v nothing_o but_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o it_o do_v not_o charge_v he_o with_o believe_v so_o and_o therefore_o the_o representer_n who_o acknowledge_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o host_n may_v very_o true_o deny_v all_o the_o rest_n as_o for_o transubstantiation_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o believe_v no_o more_o than_o what_o they_o themselves_o own_o that_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o the_o misrepresenter_n very_o fallacious_o call_v christ_n being_n real_o present_a under_o those_o appearance_n that_o our_o people_n may_v not_o perceive_v the_o difference_n between_o transubstantiation_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n deny_v and_o a_o real_a presence_n which_o she_o own_v not_o under_o the_o appearance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o cup_n which_o differ_v as_o much_o as_o a_o bodily_a and_o sacramental_a presence_n now_o if_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v true_a beside_o many_o other_o absurdity_n we_o say_v christ_n must_v have_v as_o many_o body_n as_o there_o be_v consecrate_a host_n and_o that_o his_o body_n must_v be_v on_o earth_n and_o that_o in_o fifty_o thousand_o distant_a place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n though_o the_o scripture_n assure_v we_o that_o he_o ascend_v in_o his_o body_n into_o heaven_n and_o be_v to_o continue_v there_o till_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n but_o we_o do_v not_o charge_v the_o papist_n with_o believe_v these_o absurdity_n for_o we_o can_v guess_v what_o they_o believe_v much_o less_o do_v we_o charge_v they_o with_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o christ_n as_o many_o redeemer_n as_o there_o be_v church_n altar_n or_o priest_n for_o there_o be_v we_o grant_v some_o little_a difference_n between_o christ_n have_v many_o body_n and_o there_o be_v many_o christ_n what_o a_o easy_a task_n have_v the_o representer_n to_o take_v off_o such_o character_n as_o these_o vi_o of_o merit_n and_o good_a work_n here_o we_o only_o charge_v they_o with_o say_v as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o justify_v person_n be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o the_o increase_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o eternal_a life_n and_o though_o we_o think_v this_o be_v too_o much_o for_o any_o creature_n especial_o a_o sinner_n to_o pretend_v to_o merit_v and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o reconcile_v grace_n and_o strict_a merit_n together_o yet_o we_o never_o charge_v a_o papist_n with_o believe_v christ_n death_n and_o passion_n to_o be_v ineffectual_a and_o insignificant_a and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o dependence_n on_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o suffering_n or_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o attain_v salvation_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o council_n of_o trent_n own_v both_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n the_o representer_n indeed_o qualify_v this_o by_o say_v that_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n the_o good_a work_n of_o a_o just_a man_n proceed_v from_o grace_n be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o god_n that_o through_o his_o goodness_n and_o promise_n they_o be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o eternal_a life_n the_o answerer_n alleage_n the_o 32_o d_o canon_n sess._n 6._o of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n where_o no_o such_o qualification_n be_v use_v which_o yet_o be_v the_o canon_n purposely_o design_v to_o establish_v the_o merit_n of_o good_n work_n this_o the_o reflect_a grant_n pag._n 8._o and_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o 26_o the_o canon_n of_o that_o session_n where_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n and_o therefore_o how_o we_o shall_v learn_v from_o that_o canon_n in_o what_o sense_n good_a work_n be_v say_v to_o merit_n i_o can_v tell_v but_o in_o the_o sixteen_o chapter_n of_o that_o session_n this_o doctrine_n be_v explain_v at_o large_a and_o there_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o full_a account_n of_o it_o which_o in_o short_a be_v this_o that_o that_o divine_a virtue_n which_o flow_v from_o christ_n into_o justify_v person_n as_o from_o the_o head_n to_o the_o member_n and_o from_o the_o vine_n to_o the_o branch_n make_v the_o good_a action_n of_o such_o man_n acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o meritorious_a and_o that_o such_o good_a work_n which_o be_v do_v in_o god_n do_v satisfy_v the_o divine_a law_n and_o true_o and_o proper_o merit_v eternal_a life_n that_o this_o be_v call_v our_o righteousness_n because_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o its_o inhere_n in_o we_o and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v infuse_v into_o we_o by_o god_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o own_o gift_n to_o be_v our_o merit_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 32_o d_o canon_n they_o pronounce_v a_o anathema_n against_o those_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o a_o justify_v man_n be_v so_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o not_o to_o be_v his_o own_o merit_n so_o that_o though_o they_o do_v indeed_o own_o the_o grace_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o their_o own_o merit_n yet_o they_o do_v assert_v that_o the_o inherent_a righteousness_n and_o good_a work_n of_o a_o justify_v man_n have_v that_o intrinsic_a virtue_n as_o to_o satisfy_v the_o divine_a law_n and_o to_o be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o the_o increase_n of_o grace_n and_o eternal_a life_n this_o we_o think_v injurious_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n they_o think_v it_o be_v not_o and_o we_o never_o say_v they_o do_v vii_o of_o confession_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o make_v a_o particular_a confession_n to_o a_o priest_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n commit_v after_o baptism_n necessary_a to_o obtain_v pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n and_o with_o attribute_v a_o judicial_a and_o praetorian_a authority_n such_o as_o be_v exercise_v by_o judge_n and_o magistrate_n to_o the_o priest_n to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o though_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o believe_v it_o part_n of_o his_o religion_n to_o make_v god_n of_o man_n yet_o we_o say_v and_o prove_v it_o too_o that_o this_o be_v a_o power_n which_o god_n have_v reserve_v whole_o to_o himself_o we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o say_v that_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v valid_a without_o any_o thought_n or_o intention_n of_o amendment_n in_o the_o penitent_a but_o they_o do_v say_v that_o
attrition_n which_o be_v but_o a_o imperfect_a degree_n of_o sorrow_n for_o fear_n of_o hell_n and_o can_v produce_v only_o some_o faint_a and_o sudden_a thought_n of_o amendment_n do_v qualify_v sinner_n for_o absolution_n and_o we_o say_v whatever_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o church_n teach_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o absolve_v all_o that_o confess_v without_o any_o apparent_a sign_n of_o repentance_n and_o purpose_n of_o a_o new_a life_n and_o that_o after_o many_o and_o repeat_v relapse_n be_v apt_a to_o teach_v man_n to_o place_v their_o confidence_n in_o the_o priest_n absolution_n without_o any_o serious_a intention_n to_o forsake_v their_o wickedness_n viii_o of_o indulgence_n we_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o teach_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o grant_v indulgence_n not_o to_o commit_v sin_n for_o the_o future_a but_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o be_v commit_v that_o be_v for_o the_o remit_v those_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n remit_v the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o keep_v man_n out_o of_o hell_n but_o still_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n in_o purgatory_n remain_v due_a and_o this_o must_v be_v take_v off_o either_o by_o humane_a satisfaction_n and_o penance_n of_o which_o present_o or_o by_o the_o pope_n pardon_n which_o sure_o be_v a_o different_o thing_n from_o the_o relaxation_n of_o canonical_a penance_n as_o the_o representer_n state_n it_o for_o i_o never_o hear_v before_o that_o purgatory_n fire_n be_v a_o canonical_a penance_n enjoin_v by_o the_o church_n for_o sure_a the_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o kindle_v purgatory_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a the_o church_n shall_v grant_v so_o many_o thousand_o year_n pardon_v of_o canonical_a penance_n if_o they_o concern_v this_o life_n as_o some_o indulgence_n contain_v when_o few_o man_n live_v a_o hundred_o year_n in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o have_v no_o need_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o say_v the_o pope_n have_v and_o do_v to_o this_o day_n sell_v these_o indulgence_n at_o different_a rate_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o crime_n and_o man_n who_o have_v money_n need_v not_o fear_v the_o purgatory_n fire_n and_o man_n who_o have_v none_o must_v be_v content_v to_o endure_v they_o this_o we_o grant_v with_o the_o representer_n to_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n but_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n of_o their_o pope_n and_o hardly_o separable_a from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o indulgence_n ix_o of_o satisfaction_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o make_v human_a penance_n necessary_a to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n when_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n be_v pardon_v for_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n which_o we_o say_v be_v injurious_a to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n for_o all_o man_n must_v grant_v that_o christ_n have_v be_v a_o more_o perfect_a saviour_n have_v he_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n deliver_v we_o from_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o eternal_a pain_n of_o hell_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o believe_v very_o injurious_o of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o suffering_n and_o death_n be_v not_o sufficient_o satisfactory_a for_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o believe_v as_o their_o church_n teach_v they_o that_o they_o must_v satisfy_v themselves_o for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ._n we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o evacuate_a christ_n passion_n by_o rely_v on_o their_o own_o penitential_a work_n but_o that_o they_o rely_v on_o christ_n to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o on_o their_o own_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o ascribe_v indeed_o the_o better_a half_n but_o not_o the_o whole_a to_o christ_n and_o all_o this_o the_o representer_n own_v x._o of_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o only_o charge_v they_o with_o deny_v the_o people_n the_o use_n of_o the_o bible_n in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n as_o every_o body_n know_v they_o do_v and_o as_o the_o representer_n own_v and_o defend_v it_o and_o to_o justify_v this_o practice_n we_o say_v many_o of_o their_o divine_n have_v charge_v the_o scripture_n with_o be_v a_o very_a dark_a obscure_a unintelligible_a book_n and_o that_o it_o be_v of_o very_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o grant_v a_o liberty_n to_o the_o people_n to_o read_v it_o and_o this_o we_o think_v be_v not_o much_o for_o the_o credit_n and_o reputation_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o we_o do_v not_o as_o the_o misrepresenter_n say_v charge_v the_o papist_n with_o believe_v it_o part_n of_o his_o duty_n to_o think_v mean_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o speak_v irreverent_o of_o the_o scripture_n whether_o deny_v the_o people_n the_o use_n of_o the_o bible_n in_o a_o language_n they_o understand_v be_v a_o argument_n of_o their_o respect_n or_o disrespect_n to_o the_o scripture_n let_v any_o man_n judge_n but_o for_o whatever_o reason_n they_o do_v it_o the_o effect_n be_v plain_a that_o it_o keep_v people_n in_o great_a ignorance_n and_o as_o we_o fear_v occasion_n the_o eternal_a damnation_n of_o many_o soul_n though_o we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o the_o misrepresenter_n do_v that_o they_o do_v it_o with_o this_o design_n that_o man_n may_v be_v preserve_v in_o ignorance_n and_o damn_v eternal_o but_o they_o know_v their_o own_o design_n best_o xi_o of_o apocryphal_a book_n here_o can_v be_v no_o pretence_n of_o misrepresent_v unless_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o clause_n which_o he_o usual_o take_v care_n shall_v contain_v some_o misrepresentation_n that_o he_o believe_v it_o lawful_a to_o make_v what_o addition_n to_o scripture_n his_o party_n think_v good_a for_o as_o for_o their_o receive_v such_o apocryphal_a book_n as_o

this_o indeed_o we_o think_v to_o be_v make_v addition_n to_o the_o scripture_n but_o we_o do_v charge_v they_o with_o believe_v that_o they_o may_v make_v what_o addition_n to_o the_o scripture_n they_o please_v for_o we_o believe_v they_o have_v so_o much_o wit_n as_o to_o know_v it_o safe_a to_o do_v it_o than_o to_o say_v it_o may_v be_v do_v xii_o of_o the_o vulgar_a edition_n of_o the_o bible_n all_z that_o we_o charge_v they_o with_o here_o be_v that_o they_o make_v the_o vulgar_a latin_a edition_n of_o the_o bible_n so_o authentic_a as_o to_o allow_v of_o any_o appeal_v to_o the_o original_n for_o the_o interpretation_n of_o doubtful_a place_n and_o we_o know_v not_o what_o authority_n can_v make_v a_o translation_n more_o authentic_a than_o the_o original_a that_o this_o be_v true_o charge_v on_o they_o the_o representer_n can_v deny_v though_o the_o misrepresenter_n make_v tragical_a work_n with_o it_o as_o any_o one_o may_v see_v who_o will_v divert_v himself_o with_o

they_o leave_v to_o speak_v some_o blunt_a and_o bold_a truth_n of_o themselves_o xiii_o of_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n fourteen_o of_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o deny_v in_o express_a word_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n but_o with_o say_v that_o which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o it_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v so_o various_a and_o uncertain_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v sure_a of_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o it_o in_o the_o most_o necessary_a and_o fundamental_a article_n of_o the_o faith_n but_o by_o the_o interpretation_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o do_v effectual_o divest_v it_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o rule_n for_o that_o be_v my_o rule_n which_o can_v and_o must_v direct_v i_o which_o it_o seem_v be_v not_o the_o scripture_n consider_v in_o itself_o but_o as_o interpret_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o make_v the_o
