A18305	The second part of the Defence of the Reformed Catholicke VVherein the religion established in our Church of England (for the points here handled) is apparently iustified by authoritie of Scripture, and testimonie of the auncient Church, against the vaine cauillations collected by Doctor Bishop seminary priest, as out of other popish writers, so especially out of Bellarmine, and published vnder the name of The marrow and pith of many large volumes, for the oppugning thereof.

answer_v bernard_n by_o a_o plain_a contradiction_n to_o bernard_n word_n bernard_n say_v they_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n yes_o say_v m._n bishop_n they_o be_v the_o cause_n though_o they_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a cause_n but_o see_v how_o scholarlike_o he_o deal_v therein_o for_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v the_o tree_n be_v not_o the_o whole_a cause_n of_o the_o fruit_n that_o it_o bring_v forth_o but_o the_o root_n whence_o it_o proceed_v and_o the_o bough_n whereupon_o it_o grow_v whereas_o the_o root_n and_o the_o bough_n be_v part_n of_o the_o tree_n without_o which_o it_o be_v not_o a_o tree_n and_o therefore_o the_o exception_n make_v nothing_o against_o it_o but_o that_o the_o tree_n be_v call_v the_o whole_a cause_n of_o the_o fruit_n so_o say_v he_o merit_n be_v not_o the_o whole_a cause_n of_o salvation_n but_o the_o grace_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n distinguish_v merit_n as_o one_o part_n of_o the_o cause_n from_o the_o grace_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n as_o another_o part_n of_o the_o cause_n whereas_o merit_n by_o his_o own_o rule_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o question_n do_v always_o necessary_o include_v the_o promise_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o can_v be_v no_o merit_n but_o as_o it_o proceed_v from_o grace_n and_o have_v of_o god_n a_o promise_n of_o reward_n by_o this_o exception_n therefore_o he_o say_v nothing_o
