church_n representative_a or_o be_v so_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o whole_a body_n diffusive_a which_o be_v still_o equivalent_a to_o it_o and_o the_o currant_n pass_v of_o the_o book_n and_o general_a reception_n of_o it_o among_o catholic_n argue_v strong_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v exact_a as_o to_o all_o this_o but_o because_o i_o design_v that_o book_n for_o the_o public_a i_o do_v not_o content_v myself_o with_o the_o bare_a state_v such_o our_o avow_v doctrine_n or_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o likewise_o add_v short_a exposition_n in_o relation_n to_o some_o protestant_a objection_n general_o make_v to_o each_o article_n of_o how_o can_v this_o be_v wherefore_o be_v this_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o exposition_n i_o own_o to_o be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o only_o some_o receive_a notion_n relate_v to_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o they_o be_v oppose_v by_o protestant_n or_o search_v into_o by_o the_o curious_a and_o these_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v my_o private_a sentiment_n that_o the_o reader_n may_v find_v the_o same_o in_o our_o ordinary_a scripture-catechisms_a of_o which_o there_o have_v be_v print_v in_o this_o nation_n in_o a_o few_o year_n not_o less_o than_o twenty_o thousand_o and_o i_o hope_v so_o general_a a_o reception_n be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v they_o against_o all_o caviller_n and_o to_o convince_v any_o consider_a man_n that_o to_o assent_v to_o the_o catholic_a faith_n as_o so_o expound_v which_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o what_o protestant_n say_v or_o to_o the_o pulpit-popery_n be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o member_n of_o our_o church_n and_o if_o there_o be_v other_o way_n of_o expound_v the_o same_o article_n there_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n in_o this_o since_o where_o the_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o there_o may_v be_v variety_n of_o opinion_n as_o to_o the_o how_o be_v for_o the_o whys_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v the_o answerer_n will_v understand_v if_o he_o please_v but_o to_o review_v the_o exposition_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o which_o though_o the_o author_n undertake_v to_o propose_v that_o form_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v open_o profess_v and_o teach_v without_o any_o disguise_n or_o dissimulation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o he_o say_v pref._n pag._n xvii_o yet_o i_o fancy_n among_o those_o exposition_n he_o will_v find_v several_a opinion_n of_o private_a doctor_n instead_o of_o point_n positive_o so_o determine_v by_o that_o church_n let_v he_o but_o look_v over_o that_o a_o while_n and_o i_o believe_v he_o may_v have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o call_v in_o question_n the_o title_n of_o that_o book_n as_o that_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o way_n i_o think_v it_o ought_v to_o bear_v thus_o a_o exposition_n of_o some_o body_n private_a sentiment_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o leave_v he_o to_o consider_v this_o a_o while_n but_o i_o beg_v he_o to_o be_v civil_a with_o the_o author_n and_o use_v he_o tender_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v deal_v rough_o with_o he_o as_o he_o do_v other_o his_o adversary_n and_o call_v he_o madman_n or_o fool_n he_o may_v take_v it_o unkind_o and_o tell_v he_o this_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o his_o coat_n i_o believe_v it_o be_v better_a advise_v he_o to_o take_v some_o other_o honest_a employment_n as_o to_o dig_v or_o make_v almanac_n rather_o than_o write_v controversy_n for_o this_o gentleman_n can_v tell_v he_o that_o to_o impose_v upon_o man_n in_o book_n of_o divinity_n and_o to_o take_v a_o convenient_a stand_v near_o the_o town_n be_v much_o alike_o for_o the_o honesty_n of_o the_o undertake_n i_o expect_v he_o will_v take_v some_o pain_n with_o he_o since_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o spend_v no_o more_o of_o his_o time_n with_o the_o vindicator_n or_o representer_n these_o he_o say_v be_v like_a to_o be_v privilege_v person_n as_o to_o he_o since_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o answer_v they_o no_o more_o they_o be_v not_o it_o seem_v so_o good-natured_a as_o to_o be_v confute_v by_o he_o and_o he_o take_v it_o unkind_o at_o their_o hand_n but_o however_o those_o who_o know_v how_o abusive_o he_o treat_v his_o adversary_n must_v needs_o take_v this_o for_o no_o small_a privilege_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v but_o thank_v he_o for_o this_o his_o resolution_n though_o late_a of_o call_v we_o knave_n or_o fool_n no_o more_o which_o in_o his_o language_n be_v the_o short_a of_o his_o make_v reply_v finis_fw-la the_o content_n the_o preface_n to_o the_o
