pius_n the_o four_o and_o the_o now_o roman_a church_n who_o though_o we_o protestant_n embrace_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n contain_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o confirm_v by_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n yet_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o the_o performance_n of_o these_o with_o a_o strict_a virtuous_a life_n can_v afford_v we_o so_o much_o as_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o which_o unchristian_a and_o uncharitable_a doctrine_n of_o they_o i_o shall_v only_o answer_v that_o the_o papist_n by_o this_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o forget_v that_o charity_n be_v a_o essential_a mark_n of_o true_a christianity_n and_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o particular_a christian_n be_v as_o true_a of_o whole_a church_n that_o though_o they_o have_v all_o faith_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v no_o charity_n they_o be_v nothing_o the_o three_o pope_n i_o shall_v here_o produce_v be_v pelagius_n who_o be_v elect_v to_o

and_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o i_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n mercy_n of_o what_o st._n peter_n command_v we_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o answer_v every_o one_o who_o ask_v we_o a_o reason_n and_o a_o account_n of_o it_o of_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o trentonian_a father_n with_o their_o twelve_o new_a additional_a article_n can_v give_v no_o good_a account_n out_o of_o scripture_n because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n mention_v of_o they_o in_o it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o st._n austin_n since_o the_o just_a live_v by_o faith_n the_o great_a care_n must_v be_v take_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o corrupt_v and_o then_o add_v now_o the_o catholic_n faith_n be_v make_v know_v to_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o plain_o argue_v that_o since_o the_o trent_n article_n be_v in_o no_o part_n of_o the_o apostle_n creed_n or_o in_o god_n word_n they_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o now_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o pope_n for_o a_o memorandum_n the_o example_n of_o their_o brother_n pope_n honorius_n who_o be_v condemn_v by_o two_o council_n as_o a_o heretic_n and_o also_o anathematise_v by_o pope_n leo_n the_o second_o and_o pray_v why_o be_v this_o great_a scandal_n and_o heavy_a punishment_n lay_v upon_o his_o holiness_n the_o reason_n pope_n leo_n tell_v we_o be_v because_o he_o consent_v to_o violate_v the_o rule_n of_o apostolical_a tradition_n mean_v as_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o sure_o if_o declare_v a_o defect_n in_o this_o creed_n be_v a_o violation_n of_o it_o then_o certain_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o and_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v defile_v the_o apostolical_a creed_n for_o they_o have_v declare_v
by_o he_o on_o that_o public_a and_o charitable_a design_n as_o the_o land_n they_o call_v commons_o be_v leave_v to_o certain_a parish_n who_o be_v never_o to_o be_v fence_v in_o for_o private_a use_n but_o still_o leave_v open_a for_o public_a benefit_n nor_o do_v i_o ever_o hear_v of_o any_o man_n that_o value_a money_n the_o less_o because_o it_o pass_v through_o many_o hand_n before_o it_o come_v to_o he_o nor_o a_o good_a receipt_n the_o worse_o because_o it_o be_v give_v he_o by_o another_o and_o not_o find_v out_o by_o himself_o and_o therefore_o since_o you_o now_o find_v yourself_o infect_v with_o a_o foul_a malignant_a inclination_n to_o popery_n and_o since_o i_o can_v here_o give_v you_o a_o sovereign_a medicine_n against_o it_o never_o trouble_v yourself_o to_o

can_v true_o say_v that_o what_o i_o have_v take_v out_o of_o doctor_n tillotson_n sermon_n be_v not_o to_o show_v my_o own_o good_a read_n but_o to_o set_v out_o your_o bad_a religion_n which_o be_v chief_o make_v up_o of_o ceremony_n and_o show_n but_o the_o papist_n bid_v the_o protestant_a heretic_n hold_v their_o prate_n for_o they_o have_v a_o argument_n and_o a_o questio_fw-la that_o be_v

irrational_a which_o be_v this_o the_o protestant_a church_n hold_v a_o papist_n may_v be_v save_v the_o roman_a church_n deny_v that_o a_o protestant_n can_v therefore_o it_o be_v wise_a and_o more_o safe_a to_o be_v of_o that_o church_n to_o which_o salvation_n be_v grant_v on_o both_o side_n but_o this_o be_v a_o weak_a sophistical_a kind_n of_o reason_v and_o only_o fit_a to_o take_v such_o as_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o then_o donatist_n that_o hold_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o catholic_n be_v not_o good_a and_o the_o catholic_n that_o hold_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o donatist_n be_v good_a shall_v make_v it_o reasonable_a to_o infer_v that_o therefore_o st._n austin_n and_o the_o other_o catholic_n ought_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n to_o have_v go_v and_o be_v re_fw-mi baptize_v by_o the_o donatist_n because_o both_o side_n acknowledge_v their_o baptism_n to_o be_v good_a st._n paul_n also_o own_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n though_o with_o great_a difficulty_n to_o those_o who_o build_v with_o straw_n and_o stubble_n on_o the_o fowdation_n of_o christianity_n that_o be_v who_o build_v upon_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n

can_v not_o be_v save_v so_o that_o by_o this_o worthy_a argument_n st._n paul_n and_o his_o follower_n aught_o to_o have_v go_v over_o to_o those_o judaize_v christian_n because_o it_o be_v

save_v their_o question_n be_v a_o twin-brother_n in_o ignorance_n to_o this_o their_o argument_n for_o the_o papist_n ask_v the_o protestant_n where_o be_v their_o church_n before_o luther_n who_o answer_n where_o their_o church_n be_v never_o since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n in_o the_o bible_n where_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o papist_n will_v find_v none_o of_o the_o council_n twelve_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n record_v as_o be_v never_o teach_v by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n or_o ever_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v by_o any_o of_o his_o apostle_n in_o any_o of_o their_o epistle_n or_o

out_o of_o their_o own_o church_n that_o they_o themselves_o be_v eye_n witness_n both_o to_o his_o miracle_n and_o resurrection_n so_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o rely_v on_o the_o

catholic_n and_o universal_a and_o though_o the_o papist_n know_v there_o be_v a_o catholic_n church_n before_o a_o roman_a yet_o they_o will_v now_o include_v the_o catholic_n in_o the_o roman_a and_o upon_o that_o account_n call_v themselves_o roman_n catholic_n a_o singular_a universal_a church_n but_o popish_a bull_n be_v so_o very_o common_a in_o rome_n as_o they_o be_v to_o be_v the_o less_o wonder_v at_o for_o it_o and_o so_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o this_o question_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o the_o protestant_n be_v very_o impertinent_a where_o be_v your_o religion_n before_o luther_n to_o which_o question_n we_o can_v true_o answer_v as_o we_o do_v before_o where_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o popish_a creed_n never_o be_v since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n in_o the_o bible_n and_o therefore_o since_o the_o papist_n will_v attempt_v cast_v novelty_n on_o the_o protestant_a religion_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o wonder_v i_o here_o speak_v truth_n of_o they_o for_o this_o their_o question_n to_o we_o will_v but_o prove_v to_o they_o like_o a_o gun_n very_o much_o overcharge_v which_o instead_o of_o hit_v the_o mark_n it_o be_v shoot_v at_o fly_v about_o the_o ear_n of_o he_o that_o shoot_v it_o for_o i_o can_v safe_o say_v because_o true_o that_o the_o present_a roman_a church_n with_o her_o train_n of_o trent_n addition_n can_v be_v the_o same_o true_a old_a catholic_n and_o apostolical_a church_n that_o she_o be_v before_o the_o time_n of_o that_o council_n because_o she_o have_v take_v a_o new_a creed_n and_o a_o new_a creed_n must_v make_v a_o new_a church_n as_o well_o as_o a_o new_a faith_n must_v make_v a_o new_a religion_n and_o therefore_o she_o can_v be_v altogether_o the_o old_a catholic_n and_o apostolical_a church_n she_o now_o so_o confident_o pretend_v to_o and_o vain_o boast_v of_o as_o be_v the_o mistress_n and_o mother_n of_o all_o church_n when_o in_o truth_n she_o be_v far_a from_o be_v so_o to_o any_o one_o of_o they_o except_o that_o of_o trent_n of_o which_o we_o yield_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a mother_n as_o will_v here_o appear_v upon_o a_o short_a examination_n into_o this_o matter_n first_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v just_o call_v her_o present_a faith_n to_o be_v altogether_o old_a because_o a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o be_v altogether_o new_a as_o only_o take_v its_o date_n from_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o all_o know_v it_o be_v not_o much_o more_o than_o a_o hundred_o year_n since_o that_o council_n be_v hatch_v so_o that_o the_o trent_n creed_n make_v now_o a_o main_a part_n of_o the_o romish_a faith_n which_o be_v a_o truth_n the_o papist_n dare_v not_o deny_v without_o deny_v a_o main_a part_n of_o their_o present_a faith_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a she_o can_v pretend_v her_o faith_n be_v altogether_o old_a when_o she_o must_v yield_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o no_o less_o than_o twelve_o article_n of_o the_o now_o roman_a church_n faith_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n altogether_o new_a and_o how_o well_o new_a cloth_n agree_v with_o a_o old_a garment_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o nor_o have_v the_o roman_a church_n any_o better_a reason_n for_o still_v herself_o altogether_o catholic_n because_o a_o main_a part_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o her_o church_n be_v not_o universal_o believe_v no_o not_o by_o half_a the_o christian_a church_n i_o wonder_v for_o my_o part_n it_o be_v by_o any_o so_o that_o until_o the_o papist_n can_v make_v the_o lesser_a part_n to_o contain_v the_o great_a they_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o make_v the_o protestant_n believe_v the_o single_a roman_a church_n can_v contain_v the_o catholic_n that_o be_v the_o universal_a church_n and_o for_o the_o roman_a church_n still_v herself_o altogether_o apostolical_a i_o can_v at_o all_o find_v she_o have_v the_o least_o colour_n of_o reason_n for_o it_o since_o the_o date_n of_o the_o trent_n creed_n which_o be_v the_o present_a romish_a faith_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o creed_n be_v never_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v of_o much_o less_o teach_v by_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n in_o any_o of_o their_o epistle_n or_o write_n or_o ever_o name_v in_o any_o christian_a church_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o more_o than_o fifteen_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n so_o that_o a_o infant_n may_v as_o well_o pretend_v to_o be_v as_o old_a as_o methusalem_n as_o the_o new_a trent_n creed_n can_v to_o be_v the_o old_a apostolical_a faith_n therefore_o to_o sum_n up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n since_o the_o trent_n creed_n make_v a_o main_a part_n of_o the_o romish_a faith_n all_o the_o reason_n the_o papist_n can_v give_v in_o my_o opinion_n for_o their_o faith_n be_v altogether_o apostolical_a and_o their_o church_n the_o mother_n of_o all_o church_n be_v but_o that_o poor_a weak_a womanish_a kind_n of_o reason_v she_o be_v so_o because_o she_o be_v so_o but_o for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n i_o can_v here_o easy_o and_o true_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v altogether_o old_a altogether_o catholic_n and_o altogether_o apostolical_a the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v true_o altogether_o old_a because_o we_o believe_v the_o old_a apostolical_a creed_n which_o contain_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n give_v by_o he_o to_o his_o apostle_n and_o confirm_v by_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n which_o creed_n we_o continue_v steadfast_a to_o without_o the_o least_o take_v from_o it_o or_o add_v to_o it_o which_o the_o papist_n with_o their_o additional_a new_a trent_n creed_n can_v just_o nay_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o so_o that_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o unless_o the_o papist_n will_v deny_v the_o apostolical_a religion_n to_o be_v the_o old_a religion_n they_o can_v true_o say_v the_o protestant_n be_v the_o new_a and_o let_v the_o papist_n but_o serious_o reflect_v on_o the_o trent_n creed_n they_o believe_v now_o and_o on_o that_o of_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n which_o be_v the_o faith_n the_o romish_a church_n hold_v then_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o may_v as_o reasonable_o attempt_v to_o prove_v a_o son_n may_v be_v elder_a than_o his_o natural_a father_n as_o to_o pretend_v to_o justify_v that_o the_o trent_n creed_n of_o not_o much_o more_o than_o a_o hundred_o year_n stand_v to_o be_v elder_a than_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o be_v make_v above_o fifteen_o hundred_o year_n before_o it_o and_o therefore_o sure_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v or_o lest_o ought_v not_o to_o deny_v that_o since_o the_o protestant_a faith_n be_v still_o contain_v entire_a in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n it_o must_v be_v so_o many_o degree_n elder_a than_o the_o roman_a faith_n as_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v build_v new_a story_n on_o the_o old_a protestant_a foundation_n since_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n for_o then_o protestant_n and_o papist_n be_v all_o one_o faith_n so_o that_o if_o the_o roman_a church_n will_v allow_v what_o they_o dare_v not_o deny_v that_o their_o religion_n be_v good_a at_o that_o time_n they_o can_v just_o say_v the_o protestant_n be_v bad_a at_o this_o time_n since_o we_o profess_v the_o very_a same_o creed_n now_o they_o do_v then_o the_o protestant_a church_n have_v as_o i_o say_v before_o not_o in_o the_o least_o take_v from_o or_o add_v to_o the_o apostolical_a creed_n as_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o papist_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o they_o themselves_o have_v and_o though_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n have_v cause_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o differ_v much_o from_o what_o she_o then_o be_v yet_o praise_v be_v god_n the_o protestant_n have_v not_o alter_v from_o what_o they_o then_o be_v and_o therefore_o

four_o general_n council_n next_o i_o say_v the_o protestant_a faith_n be_v altogether_o catholic_n because_o it_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n profess_v a_o few_o arian_n in_o the_o east_n only_o except_v for_o above_o fifteen_o hundred_o year_n together_o as_o the_o papist_n themselves_o can_v no_o more_o just_o deny_v than_o they_o
