receive_v p._n 9_o ed._n 1._o to_o this_o the_o reflect_a answer_n that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v receive_v here_o and_o all_o the_o catholic_n world_n over_o as_o to_o all_o its_o

reasonable_a enough_o consider_v that_o its_o definition_n of_o faith_n be_v receive_v all_o the_o catholic_n world_n over_o as_o the_o reflecter_n say_v the_o great_a difficulty_n be_v about_o the_o

about_o it_o now_o when_o other_o good_a catholic_n differ_v from_o he_o in_o explain_v the_o definition_n and_o decree_n of_o this_o council_n why_o must_v his_o sense_n and_o not_o they_o pass_v for_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n pope_n pius_n iv._o do_v strict_o forbid_v any_o private_a man_n to_o interpret_v the_o council_n according_a to_o his_o own_o private_a sense_n and_o

of_o their_o divine_n who_o be_v many_o time_n very_o troublesome_a to_o the_o council_n that_o each_o party_n may_v think_v their_o own_o sense_n favour_v but_o then_o consider_v what_o ill_a

own_o eye_n may_v soon_o satisfy_v himself_o that_o the_o answerer_n in_o these_o doctrine_n own_v nothing_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o papist_n as_o distinguish_v from_o the_o common_a faith_n of_o all_o christian_n he_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o because_o protestant_n own_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v therefore_o they_o in_o part_n own_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v by_o image_n this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n here_o the_o answerer_n grant_v that_o christ_n give_v to_o the_o bishop_n and_o priest_n of_o the_o catholick-church_n authority_n to_o absolve_v any_o true_o penitent_a sinner_n from_o his_o sin_n 60._o and_o that_o such_o absolution_n be_v ratify_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o in_o part_n he_o own_v the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o absolution_n which_o be_v a_o judicial_a and_o praetorian_a authority_n to_o forgive_v sin_n though_o we_o think_v that_o to_o

public_a and_o authentic_a declaration_n of_o the_o thing_n the_o answerer_n own_v the_o ancient_a practice_n of_o canonical_a confession_n 62._o as_o part_v of_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n for_o public_a offence_n that_o be_v that_o those_o who_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o any_o public_a and_o scandalous_a sin_n be_v not_o reconcile_v tooth_n church_n without_o make_v as_o public_a a_o confession_n and_o give_v public_a testimony_n of_o their_o sorrow_n and_o repentance_n therefore_o he_o in_o part_n own_v the_o auricular_a confession_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n there_o be_v little_a difference_n it_o seem_v between_o confess_v our_o sin_n to_o the_o whole_a congregation_n and_o in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o priest_n he_o own_v the_o use_n of_o voluntary_a confession_n for_o the_o ease_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o perplex_a mind_n of_o doubt_v or_o deject_a penitent_n and_o therefore_o he_o in_o part_n own_v the_o sacramental_a confession_n as_o necessary_a to_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n before_o god_n the_o answerer_n allow_v 40._o a_o due_a veneration_n to_o the_o body_n of_o saint_n and_o martyr_n i._n e._n a_o religious_a decency_n to_o be_v observe_v towards_o they_o which_o lie_v in_o avoid_v any_o thing_n like_o contempt_n or_o dishonour_n to_o they_o and_o use_v all_o such_o testimony_n of_o respect_n and_o decency_n which_o become_v the_o remain_v of_o excellent_a person_n and_o therefore_o in_o part_n he_o agree_v with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o relic_n just_a as_o much_o as_o a_o decent_a respect_n be_v a_o part_n of_o religious_a worship_n the_o answerer_n grant_v 55._o the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n in_o order_n to_o the_o reward_n of_o another_o life_n and_o if_o he_o

first_o we_o own_v as_o a_o very_a useful_a part_n of_o church_n discipline_n and_o wish_v the_o restore_n of_o it_o but_o the_o second_o we_o utter_o disow_v for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o

the_o answerer_n grant_v that_o true_o penitential_a work_n be_v please_v to_o god_n so_o as_o to_o avert_v his_o displeasure_n but_o deny_v the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o satisfaction_n that_o

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

or_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n it_o signify_v only_o such_o article_n the_o belief_n of_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n in_o a_o large_a sense_n it_o include_v all_o doctrinal_a point_n whatever_o be_v propose_v to_o we_o to_o be_v believe_v there_o be_v article_n of_o both_o these_o kind_n both_o in_o scripture_n and_o in_o some_o general_n council_n and_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o be_v not_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v the_o one_o and_o may_v refuse_v to_o believe_v the_o other_o when_o they_o be_v both_o propose_v with_o equal_a evidence_n and_o authority_n but_o that_o a_o mistake_n in_o one_o be_v not_o of_o such_o dangerous_a consequence_n as_o it_o be_v to_o mistake_v the_o other_o whoever_o refuse_v to_o believe_v whatever_o be_v

infallible_a though_o their_o definition_n be_v not_o all_o of_o equal_a necessity_n yet_o they_o be_v all_o equal_o true_a and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o pick_v and_o choose_v what_o we_o will_v

it_o be_v easy_a for_o every_o man_n to_o find_v a_o distinction_n to_o excuse_v he_o from_o believe_v what_o he_o do_v not_o like_a and_o i_o believe_v this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o this_o
