make_v a_o collection_n of_o private_a man_n sentiment_n and_o obtrude_v they_o for_o the_o true_o represent_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n in_o who_o communion_n they_o be_v and_o this_o be_v

yet_o it_o be_v not_o just_a this_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v immediate_o charge_v for_o the_o belief_n of_o your_o church_n althô_o mr._n thorndike_n seem_v to_o allow_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a

or_o our_o church_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v easy_o grant_v that_o no_o appeal_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v to_o such_o private_a author_n but_o the_o undertaker_n be_v oblige_v to_o keep_v close_o

against_o what_o i_o have_v represent_v for_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o papist_n so_o so_o far_o will_v i_o allow_v you_o have_v give_v i_o a_o just_a answer_n and_o as_o much_o as_o you_o fail_v of_o this_o so_o much_o you_o come_v short_a of_o what_o you_o undertake_v which_o i_o recommend_v to_o your_o own_o perusal_n to_o examine_v but_o for_o any_o of_o these_o way_n they_o be_v

some_o break_a expression_n out_o of_o mass-book_n your_o put_a objection_n from_o external_a action_n from_o private_a author_n or_o your_o own_o opinion_n any_o way_n prove_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o papist_n as_o i_o have_v represent_v it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o what_o real_o he_o be_v bind_v as_o a_o papist_n to_o believe_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v prove_v to_o make_v good_a your_o title_n but_o instead_o of_o this_o you_o general_o let_v your_o reader_n understand_v that_o i_o have_v indeed_o state_v the_o matter_n aright_o and_o only_o tell_v he_o that_o you_o have_v something_o to_o say_v against_o the_o doctrine_n and_o do_v not_o like_v it_o but_o your_o say_n i_o hope_v or_o if_o it_o can_v

the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n i_o shall_v say_v something_o to_o your_o conclude_a argument_n which_o come_v so_o home_n p._n 14._o i_o allow_v it_o seem_v the_o order_n of_o the_o supreme_a pastor_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v whether_o he_o be_v infallible_a or_o no._n i_o confess_v likewise_o in_o another_o place_n that_o some_o pope_n have_v own_a the_o depose_v doctrine_n and_o act_v according_a to_o it_o and_o here_o you_o infer_v therefore_o the_o papist_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o church_n to_o act_n when_o the_o pope_n shall_v require_v it_o according_a to_o the_o depose_v power_n and_o do_v this_o bring_v the_o matter_n home_o why_o then_o sir_n you_o must_v even_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o make_v another_o inference_n that_o what_o bring_v the_o matter_n home_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o ordinary_a piece_n of_o sophistry_n and_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_n the_o representer_n p._n 42._o speak_v of_o the_o pope_n authority_n say_v that_o as_o in_o any_o civil_a government_n the_o sentence_n of_o the_o supreme_a judge_n or_o high_a tribunal_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v tho'_o there_o be_v no_o assurance_n of_o infallibility_n or_o divine_a

be_v make_v between_o the_o order_n of_o pope_n and_o civil_a power_n as_o to_o the_o obedience_n due_a to_o they_o from_o their_o subject_n now_o sir_n if_o it_o be_v your_o opinion_n that_o this_o authority_n and_o power_n in_o these_o supreme_a governor_n be_v so_o absolute_a and_o unconfined_a that_o like_a to_o god_n himself_o there_o can_v be_v no_o just_a exception_n make_v to_o any_o of_o their_o action_n or_o decree_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v then_o indeed_o your_o reason_a answer_n your_o intent_n but_o if_o the_o case_n be_v possible_a that_o these_o may_v so_o act_n or_o command_n that_o the_o not-following_a or_o not-obeying_a in_o inferior_n may_v be_v no_o crime_n than_o you_o come_v but_o short_a of_o home_n and_o prove_v just_a nothing_o now_o change_v but_o the_o matter_n of_o your_o argument_n and_o see_v how_o far_o it_o go_v the_o order_n of_o a_o prince_n be_v supreme_a governor_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v whether_o he_o be_v infallible_a or_o no_o but_o some_o prince_n have_v do_v thus_o and_o thus_o therefore_o the_o people_n by_o the_o law_n be_v bind_v to_o act_n so_o and_o so_o do_v this_o hold_n in_o every_o action_n or_o order_n of_o a_o prince_n without_o limit_v or_o exception_n though_o a_o prince_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v yet_o it_o follow_v vot_o that_o his_o word_n be_v the_o law_n so_o that_o whosoever_o take_v this_o for_o a_o conclude_a argument_n must_v neither_o understand_v law_n nor_o logic_n i_o need_v not_o put_v the_o reader_n in_o mind_n how_o often_o you_o make_v your_o digression_n among_o the_o schoolman_n and_o leave_v not_o scout_v among_o they_o till_o you_o have_v lose_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o dispute_v about_o their_o opinion_n instead_o of_o matter_n of_o faith_n how_o in_o the_o point_n of_o dispensation_n where_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o assert_v the_o pope_n can_v dispense_v with_o it_o as_o give_v leave_n to_o break_v the_o commandment_n to_o lie_v or_o for-swear_a you_o show_v your_o learning_n in_o prove_v he_o can_v dispense_v with_o other_o law_n and_o positive_a institution_n a_o thing_n scarce_o to_o be_v doubt_v of_o and_o nothing_o to_o our_o purpose_n i_o will_v say_v nothing_o of_o the_o admirable_a close_o of_o your_o chapter_n of_o dispensation_n in_o which_o though_o you_o have_v not_o produce_v one_o proof_n of_o dispensation_n for_o lie_v or_o for_o swear_v be_v allow_v in_o our_o church_n on_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o you_o yet_o give_v this_o

with_o we_o so_o many_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v obligatory_a to_o all_o of_o our_o communion_n yet_o not_o so_o of_o every_o other_o matter_n declare_v in_o such_o a_o council_n there_o be_v

hint_v who_o decree_n of_o doctrine_n be_v as_o much_o acknowledge_v here_o by_o catholic_n in_o england_n and_o germany_n as_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o rome_n itself_o or_o the_o vatican_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v other_o constitution_n and_o decree_n be_v not_o universal_o receive_v and_o it_o may_v be_v never_o will_n now_o sir_n although_o we_o allow_v some_o council_n have_v make_v decree_n for_o depose_v in_o particular_a case_n yet_o the_o power_n itself_o not_o be_v declare_v as_o a_o doctrinal_a point_n and_o the_o decree_n relate_v only_o to_o matter_n of_o discipline_n and_o

papist_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o approve_a general_n council_n as_o i_o pretend_v but_o rather_o according_a to_o my_o own_o private_a apprehension_n or_o opinion_n which_o i_o confess_v will_v have_v be_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o it_o as_o to_o such_o particular_n but_o how_o far_o you_o have_v fail_v of_o your_o endeavour_n even_o in_o this_o point_n i_o leave_v now_o to_o the_o
