unless_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o will_v suggest_v no_o thought_n to_o we_o at_o such_o a_o time_n but_o what_o be_v in_o our_o prayer_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n indeed_o teach_v her_o child_n such_o

in_o we_o be_v of_o little_a or_o no_o account_n in_o religion_n true_a devout_a affection_n must_v spring_v from_o a_o inward_a vital_a sense_n which_o the_o picture_n can_v give_v to_o those_o who_o want_v it_o and_o be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o those_o who_o have_v it_o thus_o i_o have_v as_o brief_o as_o the_o subject_n will_v permit_v examine_v the_o doctrine_n of_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o

i_o hope_v i_o have_v abundant_o make_v amends_o for_o this_o now_o by_o a_o fair_a and_o particular_a examination_n of_o the_o bishop_n exposition_n as_o to_o that_o point_n and_o indeed_o m._n

therefore_o must_v be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o bishop_n have_v here_o play_v a_o very_a cunning_a game_n and_o man_n may_v make_v what_o they_o please_v of_o his_o word_n as_o their_o interest_n or_o inclination_n lead_v they_o if_o protestant_n object_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n and_o depose_v power_n he_o can_v easy_o tell_v they_o that_o these_o be_v school_n dispute_v and_o not_o article_n of_o faith_n if_o the_o pope_n or_o roman_a doctor_n quarrel_n at_o it_o he_o have_v then_o say_v nothing_o in_o disparagement_n of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n and_o depose_v power_n but_o have_v teach_v that_o fundamental_a principle_n on_o which_o these_o doctrine_n depend_v as_o in_o truth_n he_o have_v when_o he_o make_v the_o primacy_n of_o peter_n exposition_n the_o cement_n of_o unity_n and_o give_v this_o primacy_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o successor_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o who_o for_o this_o

of_o late_a of_o any_o such_o obedience_n and_o submission_n due_a to_o they_o especial_o when_o we_o consider_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o primacy_n of_o the_o pope_n that_o he_o be_v a_o head_n establish_v by_o god_n to_o conduct_v his_o whole_a flock_n in_o his_o path_n which_o give_v he_o a_o supremacy_n over_o bishop_n and_o secular_a prince_n and_o how_o natural_o this_o infer_v

sense_n in_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o pope_n from_o the_o pope_n testimonial_a that_o his_o letter_n show_v his_o submission_n and_o respect_n to_o the_o apostolic_a see_n as_o for_o the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n our_o author_n in_o his_o reflection_n p_o 8._o deny_v it_o to_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v not_o positive_o determine_v by_o any_o general_a

they_o all_o grant_v to_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n be_v never_o positive_o determine_v by_o any_o general_a council_n and_o therefore_o some_o doctrine_n may_v be_v article_n of_o faith_n which_o never_o be_v determine_v by_o any_o general_a council_n and_o i_o add_v that_o if_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a the_o pope_n must_v if_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n for_o infallibility_n ought_v in_o reason_n to_o accompany_v the_o great_a and_o most_o absolute_a power_n but_o our_o author_n think_v fit_a to_o let_v fall_v this_o dispute_n and_o to_o resolve_v all_o into_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n authority_n his_o proposal_n which_o follow_v i_o have_v already_o answer_v without_o a_o smile_n but_o i_o can_v forbear_v smile_v once_o more_o to_o hear_v he_o complain_v of_o dispute_v which_o he_o say_v belong_v not_o to_o the_o representer_n who_o be_v to_o represent_v and_o
church_n destroy_v justice_n towards_o man_n in_o all_o relation_n as_o the_o pope_n power_n of_o dispense_n with_o the_o duty_n of_o all_o relation_n their_o doctrine_n of_o probability_n of_o

their_o kingdom_n pardon_n nay_o canonize_v king-killer_n and_o absolve_v subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n etc._n etc._n i_o know_v our_o author_n call_v all_o this_o misrepresentation_n but_o that_o be_v not_o our_o dispute_n now_o but_o who_o misrepresentation_n it_o be_v it_o be_v plain_a this_o be_v not_o protestant_a but_o popish_a popery_n for_o not_o protestant_n but_o papist_n be_v the_o original_a author_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v it_o worth_a the_o while_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o gross_a misrepresentation_n which_o this_o author_n charge_v on_o protestant_n be_v only_o transcribe_v out_o of_o popish_a author_n and_o this_o he_o seem_v to_o own_o when_o he_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o we_o for_o prove_v these_o misrepresentation_n as_o he_o call_v they_o by_o appeal_n to_o their_o own_o private_a but_o approve_v doctor_n who_o have_v in_o plain_a term_n assert_v those_o thing_n which_o poor_a protestant_n must_v not_o repeat_v after_o they_o without_o incur_v the_o censure_n of_o misrepresenter_n now_o though_o we_o grant_v that_o every_o doctrine_n which_o we_o find_v in_o popish_a author_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v account_v a_o article_n of_o the_o romish_a faith_n yet_o if_o such_o book_n be_v publish_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o superior_n and_o when_o they_o be_v publish_v and_o know_v in_o the_o world_n escape_v the_o

consistent_a with_o the_o romish_a faith_n not_o a_o misrepresentation_n of_o it_o for_o will_v a_o church_n so_o strict_a and_o severe_a in_o its_o discipline_n and_o so_o jealous_a of_o heresy_n which_o censure_v all_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o expunge_n out_o of_o their_o write_n every_o passage_n which_o in_o the_o least_o savour_v of_o heresy_n which_o will_v not_o entrust_v the_o people_n to_o use_v the_o bible_n for_o fear_n of_o their_o learning_n heresy_n from_o it_o i_o say_v will_v such_o a_o church_n suffer_v their_o own_o doctor_n to_o publish_v such_o opinion_n to_o the_o world_n as_o misrepresent_v she_o own_o faith_n and_o worship_n without_o condemn_v or_o pass_v the_o least_o censure_n on_o they_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o can_v prove_v from_o these_o private_a doctor_n what_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v and_o what_o all_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v who_o be_v of_o that_o communion_n yet_o by_o their_o authority_n we_o may_v confute_v the_o charge_n of_o misrepresentation_n for_o no_o protestant_a can_v be_v just_o accuse_v of_o misrepresent_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o charge_v they_o with_o no_o doctrine_n but_o what_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o that_o church_n as_o all_o those_o doctrine_n be_v which_o be_v allow_v by_o public_a authority_n to_o be_v print_v and_o read_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o that_o church_n especial_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o where_o the_o press_n be_v keep_v under_o such_o strict_a discipline_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o must_v not_o indeed_o charge_v all_o papist_n with_o believe_v such_o doctrine_n because_o all_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v they_o as_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o decree_n and_o definition_n of_o their_o council_n but_o we_o may_v say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n because_o all_o papist_n be_v allow_v to_o believe_v they_o who_o will_v for_o i_o presume_v all_o man_n be_v allow_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o any_o man_n among_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o teach_v however_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v some_o excuse_n to_o the_o

themselves_o say_v and_o resolve_v all_o into_o the_o credit_n and_o authority_n of_o his_o author_n and_o i_o can_v think_v it_o a_o great_a fault_n in_o a_o protestant_n to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o such_o pernicious_a doctrine_n and_o opinion_n as_o be_v own_v by_o some_o of_o their_o own_o writer_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v publish_v

transcribe_v out_o of_o they_o do_v not_o concern_v represent_v but_o dispute_v and_o i_o never_o undertake_v to_o justify_v every_o say_n in_o protestant_a writer_n against_o popery_n but_o yet_o some_o thing_n sound_v so_o harsh_a that_o i_o vehement_o suspect_v foul_a play_n and_o therefore_o have_v the_o curiosity_n to_o examine_v and_o find_v it_o to_o be_v as_o i_o suspect_v some_o

this_o be_v too_o plain_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o question_n any_o long_o and_o therefore_o he_o rather_o choose_v to_o debate_v that_o general_a question_n about_o the_o rule_n of_o represent_v and_o

and_o this_o make_v it_o a_o false_a character_n to_o this_o the_o protester_n answer_v p._n 20._o this_o be_v a_o pretty_a speculative_a quarrel_n i_o confess_v and_o may_v deserve_o find_v room_n here_o be_v it_o our_o business_n to_o consider_v the_o due_a method_n of_o misrepresentation_n in_o the_o abstract_n but_o as_o our_o present_a concern_n stand_v here_o be_v a_o quaint_a conceit_n

this_o be_v very_o pleasant_a a_o man_n who_o undertake_v to_o make_v character_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o consider_v what_o a_o character_n be_v nor_o what_o belong_v to_o
represent_v nor_o misrepresent_v any_o man_n will_v have_v think_v so_o indeed_o who_o have_v read_v his_o character_n but_o i_o never_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v so_o but_o he_o do_v

he_o say_v be_v only_o to_o draw_v forth_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n as_o it_o be_v common_o apprehend_v by_o the_o vulgar_a or_o the_o multitude_n with_o the_o common_a prejudices_fw-la

alter_v the_o nature_n of_o action_n which_o be_v determine_v by_o a_o divine_a or_o human_a law_n whereby_o i_o prove_v that_o if_o they_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o account_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n be_v idolatrous_a their_o intention_n not_o to_o commit_v idolatry_n will_v not_o excuse_v they_o this_o he_o say_v p._n 36._o a_o quaker_n may_v as_o reasonable_o make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o justify_v his_o yea_n and_o his_o nay_n and_o his_o other_o point_n of_o quakerism_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o intention_n can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o action_n which_o be_v determine_v by_o a_o divine_a or_o human_a law_n but_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o neither_o be_v you_o call_v master_n and_o let_v your_o communication_n be_v yea_o yea_o nay_o nay_o be_v action_n or_o thing_n determine_v by_o the_o divine_a law_n therefore_o the_o intention_n of_o do_v no_o evil_a in_o they_o can_v excuse_v the_o d●ing_n otherwise_o than_o be_v there_o determine_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o will_v our_o protester_n say_v that_o the_o divine_a law_n do_v forbid_v all_o swear_n then_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o quaker_n be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o no_o intention_n will_v justify_v swear_v but_o st._n james_n must_v be_v expound_v so_o as_o to_o reconcile_v his_o word_n with_o other_o passage_n in_o scripture_n which_o allow_v of_o swear_v and_o can_v he_o show_v we_o where_o bow_v and_o kiss_v and_o kneeling_z and_o pray_v before_o a_o image_n be_v in_o any_o sense_n allow_v in_o scripture_n than_o we_o will_v grant_v also_o that_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o intention_n will_v justify_v such_o a_o use_n of_o these_o action_n as_o the_o scripture_n allow_v but_o what_o be_v absolute_o forbid_v to_o be_v do_v no_o intention_n can_v excuse_v which_o be_v our_o present_a case_n here_o he_o conclude_v all_o with_o two_o or_o three_o request_n which_o must_v be_v brief_o consider_v 1._o that_o he_o the_o replier_n will_v use_v his_o interest_n with_o protestant_n 37._o to_o hold_v to_o what_o he_o say_v they_o do_v and_o charge_v we_o with_o nothing_o but_o what_o we_o express_o profess_v to_o believe_v and_o practice_n now_o i_o can_v assure_v he_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o use_v my_o interest_n with_o protestant_n to_o do_v this_o for_o i_o hope_v they_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o to_o be_v honest_a but_o there_o be_v so_o many_o us_n among_o they_o that_o possible_o some_o protestant_n may_v mistake_v one_o we_o for_o another_o they_o practice_n indeed_o general_o much_o alike_o but_o they_o believe_v different_o and_o they_o represent_v different_o and_o they_o expound_v the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o council_n different_o and_o i_o hope_v protestant_n may_v without_o any_o offence_n say_v how_o and_o wherein_o they_o differ_v and_o i_o think_v we_o can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o misrepresent_v while_o we_o relate_v matter_n of_o fact_n true_o what_o their_o practice_n be_v and_o what_o their_o different_a sentiment_n and_o opinion_n be_v about_o these_o matter_n 2._o that_o they_o protestant_n pick_v not_o up_o the_o abuse_n of_o some_o the_o vice_n and_o cruelty_n of_o other_o the_o odd_a opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n and_o hold_v these_o forth_o for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n and_o that_o in_o charge_v any_o practice_n they_o charge_v no_o more_o than_o be_v concern_v now_o this_o be_v very_o reasonable_a if_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o abuse_n as_o be_v not_o allow_v and_o countenance_v by_o the_o church_n and_o of_o such_o cruelty_n as_o be_v not_o practise_v encourage_v commend_v by_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o justify_v by_o the_o decree_n and_o canon_n of_o pope_n and_o council_n or_o of_o such_o odd_a opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n as_o steal_v into_o the_o world_n without_o public_a authority_n and_o be_v censure_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v know_v but_o as_o far_o as_o the_o church_n give_v any_o countenance_n and_o authority_n to_o such_o abuse_n cruelty_n odd_a opinion_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o protestant_n may_v not_o complain_v of_o
