A66213	The missionarie's arts discovered, or, An account of their ways of insinuation, their artifices and several methods of which they serve themselves in making converts with a letter to Mr. Pulton, challenging him to make good his charge of disloyalty against Protestants, and an historical preface, containing an account of their introducing the heathen gods in their processions, and other particulars relating to the several chapters of this treatise.	Wake, William, 1657-1737.; Hickes, George, 1642-1715.	1688 (1688)	Wing W246A; ESTC R4106	113,409	130

by their Fathers and so upward from the Apostles times but the Doctrine of the deposing power was believed as a matter of faith therefore it was deliver'd from the Apostles times let them either answer this Argument which is their own upon other points or confess that the deposing power is an Article of Faith in that Church for if the Argument be good it proves that to be an Article of Faith as well as others if it be not th●y give up all their brags of the Evidence of Oral Tradition from hand to hand so much insisted on by Mr. G. and others of their Champions among us But because it may be objected that the deposing Bulls were the effects of the passionate Tempers of those Popes I desire that one of their own Communion may be heard in that point who speaks thus I maintain that all these disasters proceeded not only from the pettish humour of any one Pope but were the natural effects of the principles of the Papacy and though we do not see it visibly break forth every day by some bloody Example yet we ought not to believe that the habit or the will is ever the less but that there is some external extraordinary Reason which suspends the Action and which doth sometimes make them act directly contrary to their own Inclination How can any man maintain that Princes need not stand in the fear of the Pope when three Popes of this present Age have condemned the opinion that the Pope cannot depose Kings as wicked and contrary to the Faith And now I have examined and refuted their Calumny of our Disloyalty in general and Mr. Pulton's Charge in particular which I have known asserted by others with so peculiar a confidence that it hath stagger'd many Loyal but weak Protestants in which as in All the rest of this Discourse I once again challenge the whole Body of the Romish Clergy to find one false Quotation and by the falsity of Mr. Pulton's Assertion I beg the Reader to judge what Credit the rest of their defaming Insinuations deserve CHAP. V. Of their laying Doctrines to our charge which we never taught AFter such a bold Assertion as that of Mr. Pultons which I refuted in the preceding Chapter we need not wonder if we meet with the same Treatment which the Christians in Tertullian's time under went seeing we have to do with a sort of Men who repeat their Slanders the oftner they are reprov'd and not asham'd to impute Doctrines to the Reformed which their Confessions disclaim and the Writings of their Divines confute At a time when the Gentlemen of that Communion make so loud Complaints of being misrepresented as to their doctrines and practices and with the utmost of their Rhetorick exaggerate the Injury which by such Misrepresentations is done to Truth and their Church it might rationally be expected that they should believe what they say and have some Sense of such injust proceedings or at least should in policy take care that their own Writings be not stuffed with false Charges against their Adversaries But it is somewhat surprizing to find no care taken in so material a point and that they are no more solicitous to represent our Doctrines right than to defend their own which they seem wholly to abandon if any pains be taken by them it is to bespatter the Protestants and coin opinions for them for they find it much more easie to refute those imaginary Positions than overthrow the well-grounded Tenets of the Reformed Churches Hence it is that that there is no Calumny so absurd which they blush to publish and that the old Charge against the Waldenses and Albigenses is renued by the Author of Popery Anatomiz'd who copies from the Jesuit Parsons affirming that they denyed the Resurrection of the dead or that there is any such place as Hell that with the Manichees they held two Gods and that it avails a man nothing to say his Prayers with several other Doctrines of a horrid nature but if we consult the Authors that wrote in and near the time we shall find a quite contrary Account that they were to all appearance a very pious people living righteously before men and believing all things rightly concerning God and all the Articles of the Creed and that their lives were more holy than other Christians insomuch that when the King of France sent Commissioners to enquire of and inspect their Life and Doctrine and they inform'd him that they baptiz'd and taught the Articles of the Creed and Precepts of the Decalogue observ'd the Lord's Day preached the Word of God and that they were not guilty of those abominable Crimes imputed to them he SWORE that THEY WERE BETTER THAN HE OR HIS PEOPLE WHO WERE CATHOLICKS But though the Romanists have no Authority for their Charge yet they have a motive which is always prevalent in that Church the Waldenses and with great freedom reprov'd the Vices of the Pope and Clergy and this was the chief thing which subjected them to such an universal hatred and caused several wicked Opinions to be father'd upon them which they never own'd For they agreed with the Faith of the Protestants at this day as Popliniere affirms who alledgeth the Acts of a Disputation between the Bishop of Pamiers and Arnoltot Minister of Lombres written in a Language favouring much of the Catalan Tongue affirming that some had assured him that the Articles of their Faith were yet to be seen engraven 〈◊〉 certain old Tables in Alby agreeing exactly with the Reforme● Churches And Mr. Fountain Minister of the French Church at London told Arch-bishop Vsher that in his time a Confession of the Albigenses was found which was approved of by a Synod of French Protestants Thus as the Romanists have brought most of the Heathens Rites and the ceremonious part of their Worship into theirs so they seem to be actuated by the same Spirit which taught the Pagans to represent our Holy Religion in the most odious manner and they have found such success attending this unchristian Artifice that it is hugg'd as their darling and when any party discovers their Corruptions they endeavour to expose them as men of seditious Principles which will effectually render Princes jealous of them and draw upon them the displeasure of those under whose protection they might otherwise be secure that the common people may entertain as great an Aversion to them it is not onely their practice but a principle of their Policy laid down by a famous Jesuite to charge them with such Opinions as are absurd in themselves and abhorr'd by all men By this means they are sure to possess the vulgar with such prejudices that they will lend no Ear to the other side whom they look upon as a sort of Monsters according to the Character these Politicians have given of them And such Opinions being easily confuted if they can but once perswade an ignorant

works because they are commanded by God which is likewise the Doctrine of the Dutch Churches as appears by the Profession of their Faith in the Synod of Dort affirming that it is impossible that True Faith should be without works seeing it is a Faith working by love which causes a man to do all those good works which God hath commanded in his word And the same Doctrine is delivered in the Articles of the Church of Ireland but because I have not those Articles at hand I omit the words Thus by an VNIVERSAL CONSENT of ALL the PROTESTANTS we find the NECESSITY OF GOOD WORKS maintained and I CHALLENGE OUR ADVERSARIES TO PRODUCE ANY ONE ALLOWED AUTHOR WHO HOLDS THE CONTRARY AMONG US WHICH IS A UNITY BEYOND WHAT THEY CAN SHEW IN THEIR CHURCH FOR ANY ONE POINT though if they could it would not justifie their Charge who so often tell us that we must not take the Faith of any Church from private writings but their publick Confessions But these Gentlemen scorn to be tyed by any Rules tho' never so just even in their own opinions and therefore in a Supplication directed to King James by several Romish Priests they affirm that whosoever leaveth their Communion for ours beginneth immediately to lead a worse life so it is grown into a Proverb that the Protestant Religion is good to live in but the Papist Religion good to dye in And indeed they made it their business to possess their people with that Opinion so that Father Francis de Neville a Capuchin confesseth That he did imagine for a long time that they of the Reformed Churches admitting Justification by Faith alone did it to exclude good works from the way of Salvation and shew themselves in that to be Enemies of Charity and of other Virtues and did therefore extreamly condemn them but when he came to sound their Doctrine and see how they judge good Works necessary to Salvation and that the Faith whereof they speak is not a dead Faith but a lively Faith accompanied with good Works He acknowledged they were wrongfully blam'd in this as in many other things also But though this Gentleman was so sincere yet there are but few among them who tread in his steps for to pass by all the Controvertists of the last Age we need go no farther than these late years to find instances of their Misrepresentations in this Particular one of them in a Book dedicated to her Majesty tells the world that the Principle of our Religion takes from us the yoke of fasting freeth us from all necessity of good works to be saved and of keeping the Commandments of God and that we might not think he asserted these onely to be consequences of our Doctrines he adds that most Protestants hold that position and that it is our express Doctrine and in another place he affirms that praying watching and fasting are wholly out of use among Protestants and not only contrary to the liberty of their new Gospel but even fruitless vain superstitious Toys according to the Tenets and Principles thereof Another sets it down as one of the Protestant Articles That good works are not absolutely necessary to Salvation Which Father Turbervill confirms by being more particular The Catholick Church saith he teacheth much Fasting Prayer and Mort●●●cation she exhorts to good works voluntary Poverty Chastity and Obedience the contrary to all which holy Doctrines are taught by Protestants And a very late Author insinuates that it is all one to Protestants whether God be served with Fasting Watching Mortifying or without But the Roman Divine Father Porter is more express that one of the Causes which renders the Reformed so averse to Popery is that they abhor Fasting and Repentance and account Prayer and other Offices of Religion tedious that our Religion allows us to believe that good works are not necessary to Salvation that by our Doctrine Thieves Murderers Blasphemers c. may attain Heaven BY THEIR BEING SO if they will but believ● and that BY BEING SVCH they are as much the Sons of God as the Apostles were with abundance more of such abominable stuff fit only for carrying on a most malicious Design When with their best Rhetorick these Gentlemen have endeavoured to perswade the world that they are abus'd in the account given of their Doctrines by our Divines all they pretend to complain of amounts to no more than this that we have drawn Consequences from our Doctrine which they will not hear and we find not that their greatest malice can pretend to much more surely then it is high time for them to reflect a little upon that Counsel of our SAVIOUR first to pull the Beam out of their own Eye 'T is not for want of Materials but because I would not be prolix that I produce no more particulars in this point of good works for I do not remember to have seen any one of their writings which is not guilty in this kind I have more need to make an Apology for insisting so long upon this one particular but I was easily induc'd to it knowing that one of their great Designs is to possess the devouter sort of men with a belief that we left their Communion to have greater Liberty for the Flesh in prosecution of which they are so strangely immodest as to publish such false Opinions for us as directly contradict our publick Confessions the discovering of which I look'd upon the best way to oppose their Slanders But to take a short view of other particulars The Author of Veritas Evangelica before cited runs wholly upon this point that we believe the whole Church hath failed and thence argues that Christ had no Church for some years into the same Error Father Mumford the Jesuit runs and another affirms that we teach the Church of all Nations is confin'd to England Because we reject all Traditions that are not according to the Rule of Lirinensis received every where at all times and by all Father Porter laies this down as one of our Principles that all Traditions of all sorts are the inventions of men though he could not but know that we receive the Scriptures from such an universal Tradition and are ready to embrace any other Doctrine conveyed to us as they are With the same sincerity and modesty he affirms that we pretend that the EXPRESS WORDS of Scripture are our RULE OF FAITH without any interpretation or consequence drawn from them tho' not to mention other Churches the Church of England declares that we are to be guided not onely by the express words of the Scripture but by the consequences drawn from it and yet this Gentleman affirms that our Confessions of Faith pretend onely to the express words It is notoriously known that our Differences about Church Government are no Articles of our Faith and yet this Author tells us that the equality of power in

their part that they may catch at an occasion to make the world believe that they have forfeited that Protection his MAJESTY hath so graciously promised to afford them But our Loyalty hath a better Foundation than to be shaken by such malicious Arts it being founded upon the same Bottom with our Church the Apostles and Prophets and our Blessed Saviour the chief Corner-Stone of the building which all the Arts of men and Devils shall never overthrow not upon the will of man as theirs is Yet these Gentlemen think it sufficient to prove us disloyal to cull out a few Instances of men of rebellious Practices and this they charge upon the Church of England but with what justice let the world judge They cry out upon us as misrepresenters of their Doctrines because we affirm they teach the deposing power to rest both in the Pope and in the People and shew their Practices to accord with that Doctrine when ever they had occasion If this be to misrepresent what name may we call their dealing by who charge us with Rebellion when we freely condemn all such practices and that openly and that in our Religion there is no Rule to be found that prescribeth Rebellion nor any thing that dispenseth Subjects from the Oath of their Allegiance nor any of our Churches that receive that Doctrine When on their side several General Councils have asserted above TWENTY of their Popes pronounc'd that right inherent in them and I am able to prove that above three hundred of their Divines defend and plead for either the Popes or Peoples power to depose their Princes And though I know there are many in that Church who at least at present do heartily disown that Doctrine yet I will not stick to affirm that it hath all the Characters of an Article of Faith nor doth the dissent of so many hinder it from being so for there are multitudes among them who disown Transubstantiation others the Pope's Supremacy and several other points which others amongst them acknowledge to be Articles of their Faith. Neither will a late Author's plea that if it were such an Article the opposers of it would not scape without a brand of Heressie prove the contrary for we know that they have been often mark'd with that Brand and are once a year Excommunicated at Rome in the Bulla Coenae wherein all persons who hinder the Clergy in exercising their jurisdiction according to the decrees of the Council of Trent which France does all secular powers who call any Ecclesiastical Person to their Courts all Princes that lay any Taxes on their people without the Popes consent are declar'd Excommunicate and if they remain so a whole year they shall be declar'd Hereticks We are told by one of themselves that a Doctrine when inserted in the body of the Canon-Law becomes the Doctrine of their Church now in the Canon-Law we find it asserted that the Pope may absolve persons from their Oath of Allegiance that Pope Zachary deposed the K. of France not so much for his Crimes as that he was unfit to rule that we are absolv'd from all Oaths to an Excommunicate Person and it is our duty to yield no obedience to him That Clergymen ought not to swear Allegiance to their Prince and that they are exempt from the jurisdiction of the secular Magistrate And the Council of Trent hath confirmed all these Canons to the observation of which all their Priests and dignifyed men are sworn Let the world then judge whether this doctrine be an Article of Faith or no. But they have not onely taught and establish'd this treasonable Principle upon the same foundation with their other Doctrines but though often call'd upon to joyn in a denial of it and to condemn it as sinfull they could never be prevail'd on to clear themselves from such an odious Charge as hath been all along justly brought against them This was once thought the only way they had to justifie themselves by a person who hath since made himself a Member of their Church who tells us 'T is not sufficient for the well-meaning Papist to produce the Evidences of their Loyalty to the late King Charles the First I will grant their Behaviour to have been as loyal and as brave as they can desire but that saying of their Father Cress. is still running in my head that they may be dispenc'd with in their obedience to an Heretick Prince while the necessity of the times shall oblige them to it for that as another of them tells us is onely the effect of Christain Prudence but when once they shall get power to shake him off an Heretick is no lawfull King and consequently to rise against him is no Rebellion I should be glad therefore that they would follow the advice which was charitably given them by a Reverend Prelate of our Church namely that they would joyn in a publick act of disowning and detesting those Iesuitick Principles and subscribe to all Doctrines which deny the Pope's Authority of deposing Kings and releasing Subjects from their Oath of Allegiance And a late Author of their own Church judges this so necessary that he affirms NO CLERGY MAN OUGHT TO BE RECEIVED WITHOUT SUBSCRIBING THE CONDEMNATION OF THE BULL DE COENA DOMINI AND TILL THE MONKS AND JESUITS SHALL SOLEMNLY RENOUNCE AND CONDEMN IT IT WILL BE NO GREAT INJUSTICE DONE THEM TO ACCUSE THEM OF ATTEMPTING AGAINST THE LIVES OF KINGS If any man did suspect me to be an Arian and I knew it and could justifie my self from such cursed opinions and did it not the world would have reason to impute to me all the Consequences of this pernicious Heresie and the same Author tells us it is well known all the Monks and especially the Jesuits have by their fourth Vow obliged themselves to the Execution of this INFERNAL BVLL Nor is it onely by private men they have been exhorted to such a Renunciation of those Doctrines but in publick Courts of justice both in France and England It is indeed very usual with them to deny this Doctrine in discourse but that it is onely a formal denial when they really maintain it I offer to prove against them from their own Principles and Practices a plain instance whereof Mr. Sheldon gives us of his own knowledge who was one morning denied Absolution by a Sussex Jesuit because he would not acknowledge the Pope's Power to depose Princes and yet the very same day at dinner in the pres●●ce of several this Jesuit denied any such power in the Pope But the Doctors of Rome have been very carefull to provide against any such scrupulous persons as cannot perswade themselves of the lawfulness of this point and therefore have found out a way to discharge the Conscience from any guilt and set men at liberty to follow an opinion which they believe unsound upon which Principle there is no manner

Protestant that the Church of which he is a Member holds them there needs no great industry to prevail with such a man to leave it This course the Popish Bishop of Ferns in Ireland took to perswa●e Father Andrew Sall who had left the Jesuits among whom he had continued many years and about sixteen years since became a Member of our Church to return to the Romish Communion insomuch that Father Walsh confesses that he had strangely misrepresented the Church of England in his Book against that Convert But I think never did any of their Writers equal Father Porter Reader of Divinity in the College of St Isidore at Rome who this very year in a Book printed there and dedicated to the Earl of Castlemain and Licensed by the Companion of the Master of the Sacred Palace and others as a Book very usefull for the instruction of the faithfull tells us that the God of the Protestants doth not differ from the Devil nor his Heaven from Hell and that the whole Frame of our Religion is founded in this horrid Blasphemy THAT CHRIST IS A FALSE PROPHET which he attempts to prove by another Misrepresentation as great as this for saith he the English Confession of Faith asserts that General Councils GUIDED BY THE HOLY GHOST AND THE WORD OF GOD may Err for which he cites the 19. and 20. Articles of our Church the latter of which onely asserts that the Church ought to be guided in her decisions by the Word of God and tho' the former doth affirm that the Church of Rome hath erred yet it saith nothing of General Councils the 21 Article indeed affirms that they may Err and the Reason it gives is because they are an ASSEMBLY OF MEN WHO ARE NOT ALL GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT AND WORD OF GOD so that all this Fryers Exclamation of the horridness of such a Doctrine as he charg'd upon us serves onely to shew his own immodesty and to let the world see with what strange Confidence some men can advance Assertions and alledge Authorities which any one that can read will discover to be forg'd This I confess seems to be a new Charge of his own inventing but that which he brings in another place that we are not oblig'd by our Religion to pray was long since framed by the Priests at the beginning of the Reformation who perswaded the people that in England the Protestants had neither Churches nor form of Religion nor serv'd God any way and they had so possess'd them with that opinion that several persons were reckon'd Lutherans onely because they were horrid Blasphemers That the Decalogue is not obligatory to Christians and that God doth not regard our Works is one of the monstrous Opinions which Campion had the confidence to 〈◊〉 both our Vniversities was maintained by the Church of England and like a Child who to cover one untruth backs it with another he quotes the Apology of the Church of England as his voucher wherein these words are found which are so clear that they alone are enough to make those blush who by Translating and Publishing this Treatise of Campions the last year have made his Forgeries their own the words of the Apology are these although we acknowledge we expect nothing from our own Works but from Christ onely yet this is no encouragement to a loose life nor for any to think it sufficient to believe and that nothing else is to be expected from them for True Faith is a living and working Faith therefore we teach the people that God hath called us to good Works And that the Reader may see what Credit is to be given to the Romanists in this point I shall give an account of the Doctrine of the several Reformed Churches about the necessity of good Works and then shew with what confidence these Gentlemen affirm that the Protestants teach that good Works are not necessary The four Imperial Cities in their Confession of Faith presented to the Emperour in the year 1530. having explained the Doctrine of Justification by Faith onely have these words But we would not have this understood as if we allowed Salvation to a lazy Faith for we are certain that no man can be saved who doth not love God above all things and with all his might endeavour to be like him or who is wanting in any good Work And therefore enjoyn their Ministers to preach up frequent Prayer and Fasting as holy Works and becoming Christians in which the Augustan Co●fession agrees with them that good Works necessarily follow a true Faith for even at that time the Calumny that they denyed the necessity of them was very common as appears by their solemn disclaiming any such Opinion in the twentieth Article affirming that he cannot have true Faith who doth not exercise Repentance The same is taught by the Helvetian Churches in their Confession compos'd at Basil Ann. 1532. that true Faith shews it self by good Works and in another fram'd at the same place Ann. 1536. we find this Assertion that Faith is productive of all good Works The Bohemian Churches affirm that he who doth not exercise Repentance shall certainly Perish and that good Works are absolutely necessary to Salvation is the Doctrine of the Saxon Reformers in their Confession of Faith offer'd to the Council of Trent Ann. 1551. and in that presented to the same Council by the Duke of Wirtemberg the following year there is this Profession we acknowledge the Decalogue to contain injunctions for all good works and that we are bound to obey all the moral Precepts of it We teach that good works are necessary to be done And in particular it commends Fasting and in the twenty second Article of the French Confession it is affirmed that the Doctrine of Faith is so far from being an hindrance to a holy Life that it excites us to it so that it is necessarily attended with good works The Church of England agrees with the rest of the Reformed Artic. 12. that good works are acceptable to God and do necessarily spring out of a True and lively Faith. And the Confession of Faith subscribed by all the Churches of Helvetia Ann. 1566. and afterwards by the Reformed of Poland Scotland Hungary and Geneva gives this account of the Faith of those Churches Faith causes us to discharge our duty toward God and our Neighbour makes us patient in Adversity and produces all good works in us so we teach good works to be the Off-spring of a lively Faith. And although we affirm with the Apostle that we are justified by Faith in Christ and not by our good works yet we do not reject them But condemn all who despise good works and teach that they are not necessary And in the thirteenth and fourteenth Articles of the Scotch Confession they maintain the necessity of all good

which is another of their Artifices to promote the same end it was long since put in practice by those Bishops at Nice who set up the worship of Images for no sooner were they press'd with a passage out of Eusebius but they Brand him with the Title of an Arian which Example hath been since followed by the Gentlemen of that Communion on purpose to make the world believe that their Adversaries held the Doctrines those names import The Nicolaitans are represented in the Revelation as the worst of men therefore the defenders of Priests marriage had that name imposed on them that the common people might think they held the community of wives as tha Sectt did and so the opposers of Transubstantiation were nick-nam'd Stercoranists and Paintes This Artifice they made great use of in suppressing the Loyal Remonstrance in Ireland which I gave some account of in the former Chapter the name of Protestant is a most odious appellation among them therefore Riddere the Commissary in his Letter to Cardinal Barberin stiles them Irish Protestants and the same Cardinal had before called them the Valesian Sect. The success attending this method hath been so great that Father Contzen hath form'd it into a Rule and how well it is observ'd may be seen by their daily practice For as Mr. Travers complains they call us Calvinists c. but we content our selves with the honourable Name of Christians To be a Franciscan a Thomist a Scotist we leave to them who have rent asunder Christ's Body but we have no such custom to name our selves of any men It was an old device of the Arians to call themselves the onely true Catholicks and all others Ambrosians Athanasians c. but this is not the onely Heretical Example after which the Romanists do exactly copy The preceding instances are warrant enough for me to renew my request to the Reader NOT TO LEAVE THEM WHEN THEY AFFIRM THAT SUCH A PARTICULAR DOCTRINE IS PART OF THE REFORMED RELIGION for we have seen that they are not over sincere in that matter If men are found fathering Doctrines upon their Adversaries which they abhor as much or more than they will any man in his wits believe such an imputation coming from those men But not onely the insincerity of the persons but the deceit of the method it self ought to make us cautious for if any particular Doctrine were taught by some of our Divines it doth not follow that it is a part of the Protestant Religion if a person be of any particular Opinion he ought not to lay such a stress upon it as to make it part of his Religion for that consists in a few and plain Articles and if the other be overthrown as long as these remain the Religion remains intire I mention this because I have some experience that these Gentlemen do not misrepresent our Doctrines onely to make the world have an ill opinion of them but to get advantage of engaging with those who hold some particular ill grounded opinion that having refuted it they may seem to have triumphed over a Protestant Principle And this advantage is too often given them by unwary men who presuming on their own Abilities choose rather to defend some private sentiment than the common Articles of our Faith. An ill cause will not admit of a sound defence and therefore it is no hard task to overthrow unwarrantable positions which should make those who deal with them use more care for if they should be able to defend their opinion the truth of the Protestant Religion is not one jot more apparent but the Adversaries of it have a plausible pretence to affirm that such a position is one of the Doctrines of it and if it be foumd uncapable of defence these Gentlemen who brag when there is no cause will triumph unmeasurably and amuse many ignorant and weak Souls The Summ of all is that having to do with men whose Talent at misrepresenting improves daily it is our indispensable duty to be well acquainted with the particulars of our Faith that neither their Eloquence in perswading their Artifice in deforming our Doctrines nor the fame of their Abilities may either put us on defending those Doctrines which we do not teach nor perswade us that our Religion approves them We have many instances of those who have split upon this Rock I NEVER MET WITH ANY OF THEIR CONVERTS WHO VNDERSTOOD OVR RELIGION BVT HAVING ENTERTAIN'D WRONG NOTIONS OF IT WERE PERSWADED TO CHANGE VPON THE CONFVTATION OF THOSE IMAGINARY TENETS I desire these Gentlemen to name any one Book of Controversie which they think is written with most sincerity on their side And I engage my self to produce several false Imputations in it by this trick they find most success so that if all our People would labour to understand their Religion the Romanists would have but few Converts FINIS * The Primit Rule before the Reformat par 2. p. 23.
