a_o million_o who_o have_v embroil_v themselves_o in_o the_o dispute_v of_o the_o time_n yet_o dare_v i_o undertake_v to_o reduce_v the_o point_n in_o controversy_n to_o so_o short_a a_o issue_n and_o

of_o us._n amen_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o book_n the_o catholic_a apology_n have_v endeavour_v to_o acquit_v the_o huguenot_n of_o heresy_n by_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v for_o that_o the_o religion_n pretend_v to_o be_v reform_v be_v not_o heretical_a of_o itself_o for_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n be_v receive_v by_o the_o huguenot_n and_o that_o the_o ceremony_n which_o they_o have_v reject_v be_v unknown_a to_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o which_o two_o point_n viz._n doctrine_n and_o ceremony_n all_o religion_n be_v compose_v the_o second_o be_v that_o their_o religion_n have_v not_o be_v as_o yet_o condemn_v by_o any_o lawful_a judgement_n because_o that_o before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n it_o be_v not_o condemn_v in_o any_o general_n council_n and_o that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v neither_o lawful_a of_o itself_o nor_o as_o yet_o approve_v of_o in_o france_n upon_o which_o consideration_n albeit_o that_o the_o huguenot_n have_v wander_v from_o the_o true_a faith_n yet_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o proceed_v against_o they_o as_o against_o heretic_n until_o they_o have_v receive_v a_o arrest_n of_o condemnation_n from_o a_o general_a council_n no_o more_o th●n_n we_o can_v in_o justice_n put_v a_o malefactor_n to_o death_n although_o he_o be_v notorious_o capable_a until_o he_o be_v cast_v by_o the_o jury_n and_o have_v have_v his_o trial_n the_o author_n now_o of_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o apology_n in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o book_n from_o the_o five_o chapter_n to_o the_o fifteen_o travail_n hard_a to_o refute_v the_o foresay_a reason_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n he_o only_o propound_v his_o method_n in_o the_o six_o he_o will_v show_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o huguenot_n be_v quite_o another_o from_o that_o of_o the_o catholic_n in_o the_o seven_o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o modern_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v observe_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o the_o eight_o that_o the_o doctrine_n pretend_v to_o be_v reform_v stand_v condemn_v by_o ancient_a counsel_n in_o the_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13_o and_o 14._o he_o defend_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n whereof_o the_o 11_o 12_o and_o 13._o be_v to_o prove_v that_o that_o council_n be_v absolute_o lawful_a and_o the_o 9_o 10_o and_o 14._o that_o it_o be_v receive_v in_o france_n after_o which_o method_n i_o will_v also_o divide_v my_o defence_n into_o these_o six_o chapter_n 1._o in_o my_o first_o i_o will_v prove_v against_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o six_o chapter_n that_o the_o catholic_n and_o huguenot_n thus_o far_o agree_v in_o doctrine_n that_o they_o be_v both_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o religion_n 2._o in_o my_o second_o against_o his_o seven_o chapter_n that_o neither_o the_o catholic_n nor_o the_o huguenot_n do_v accord_n with_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o ceremony_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o huguenot_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v 3._o in_o my_o three_o against_o his_o eight_o that_o before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n they_o stand_v not_o public_o and_o lawful_o condemn_v 4._o in_o my_o four_o against_o his_o 11_o 12_o and_o 13._o chapter_n that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v not_o lawful_a 5._o in_o my_o five_o against_o his_o 9_o 10_o and_o 14._o chapter_n that_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v in_o france_n 6._o in_o my_o six_o and_o last_o i_o will_v conclude_v that_o the_o huguenot_n may_v be_v good_a right_n be_v still_o repute_v for_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a apostolic_a and_o roman_a church_n chap._n 1._o that_o the_o
but_o a_o wrangle_n about_o the_o word_n as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o when_o i_o discourse_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o for_o the_o part_n namely_o contrition_n confession_n and_o satisfaction_n if_o that_o he_o blame_v the_o huguenot_n for_o not_o hold_v they_o proper_o part_v thereof_o i_o answer_v he_o that_o neither_o do_v all_o catholic_n hold_v they_o so_o for_o durandus_fw-la make_v but_o two_o part_n confession_n and_o absolution_n and_o scotus_n say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o which_o be_v absolution_n but_o if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o these_o three_o thing_n be_v requisite_a or_o not_o the_o huguenot_n will_v also_o say_v that_o they_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o penitent_a to_o have_v contrition_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n to_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n unto_o god_n nay_o and_o that_o it_o be_v profitable_a also_o to_o confess_v they_o to_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n but_o not_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a because_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a catholic_n this_o auricular_a confession_n be_v never_o institute_v by_o god_n a._n nor_o yet_o of_o a_o long_a time_n practise_v in_o the_o church_n as_o beatus_fw-la rhenanus_fw-la who_o be_v himself_o a_o catholic_a have_v very_o well_o observe_v final_o as_o for_o satisfaction_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v in_o purgatory_n that_o in_o this_o life_n the_o huguenot_n approve_v of_o and_o teach_v it_o to_o be_v most_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o man_n who_o we_o have_v any_o way_n offend_v and_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o sin_n against_o god_n to_o walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n moreover_o they_o confess_v that_o god_n punish_v man_n in_o this_o life_n by_o temporal_a affliction_n yea_o even_o those_o who_o sin_n be_v pardon_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o 26._o that_o they_o deny_v any_o satisfaction_n or_o punishment_n to_o be_v in_o purgatory_n after_o death_n for_o sin_n but_o herein_o their_o error_n can_v be_v great_a 26._o first_o because_o s._n austen_n put_v it_o down_o no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o a_o thing_n probable_a and_o not_o necessary_a say_v no_o more_o but_o it_o may_v be_v that_o it_o be_v true_a and_o second_o because_o that_o neither_o can_v the_o catholic_n agree_v upon_o it_o among_o themselves_o some_o of_o they_o place_v pargatory_n here_o upon_o earth_n other_o under_o it_o some_o neither_o above_o nor_o below_o but_o in_o the_o air_n
