A58130	A dialogue betwixt two Protestants in answer to a popish catechism called A short catechism against all sectaries : plainly shewing that the members of the Church of England are no sectaries but true Catholicks and that our Church is a found part of Christ's holy Catholick Church in whose communion therefore the people of this nation are most strictly bound in conscience to remain : in two parts.	Rawlet, John, 1642-1686.	1685 (1685)	Wing R352; ESTC R11422	171,932	286

the_o most_o clear_a and_o solid_a knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o true_a christian_a piety_n and_o devotion_n but_o have_v your_o author_n no_o better_a

church_n that_o be_v of_o their_o own_o party_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n care_v little_a what_o division_n they_o make_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n for_o their_o own_o carnal_a end_n but_o of_o mighty_a consequence_n be_v this_o project_n for_o union_n which_o your_o author_n mention_n for_o what_o need_n be_v there_o i_o beseech_v you_o that_o a_o priest_n in_o a_o foreign_a country_n shall_v officiate_v there_o where_o they_o may_v have_v priest_n of_o their_o own_o to_o do_v it_o and_o can_v there_o not_o be_v union_n enough_o betwixt_o foreign_a church_n and_o the_o priest_n that_o belong_v to_o they_o in_o their_o profession_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o own_v the_o same_o worship_n except_o they_o speak_v the_o same_o language_n and_o use_v the_o very_a same_o word_n one_o will_v think_v they_o shall_v rather_o consult_v for_o a_o union_n betwixt_o priest_n and_o people_n that_o they_o may_v join_v together_o at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o the_o same_o prayer_n but_o this_o they_o regard_v not_o it_o be_v enough_o it_o seem_v with_o they_o for_o the_o people_n to_o be_v spectator_n only_o even_o at_o public_a prayer_n as_o well_o as_o at_o the_o communion_n though_o they_o neither_o understand_v the_o one_o nor_o partake_v of_o the_o other_o for_o very_o usual_a it_o be_v with_o they_o for_o the_o priest_n alone_o to_o take_v the_o sacrament_n whilst_o the_o people_n stand_v by_o and_o look_v on_o a_o most_o corrupt_a custom_n and_o mere_a innovation_n contrary_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n and_o design_n of_o this_o holy_a

neither_o be_v those_o to_o be_v style_v common_a prayer_n in_o which_o they_o do_v not_o join_v in_o common_a nor_o have_v your_o author_n hitherto_o produce_v any_o thing_n like_o a_o reason_n for_o this_o custom_n of_o they_o l._n and_o i_o doubt_v you_o will_v think_v his_o last_o argument_n as_o weak_a as_o any_o viz._n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v be_v write_v in_o latin_a greek_a
