lay_v aside_o their_o vizard_n and_o let_v they_o now_o paint_v the_o church_n of_o england_n how_o they_o please_v and_o the_o worse_a the_o better_o for_o how_o mean_a a_o opinion_n soever_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v of_o our_o dissenter_n they_o be_v too_o wise_a and_o cautious_a to_o take_v character_n from_o open_a and_o profess_v enemy_n the_o truth_n be_v he_o have_v horrible_o abuse_v our_o dissenter_n unless_o by_o dissenter_n he_o mean_v only_o his_o dear_o belove_a quaker_n with_o who_o cant_n he_o be_v as_o well_o acquaint_v as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v either_o their_o master_n or_o scholar_n for_o he_o have_v draw_v up_o such_o a_o charge_n against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o dissenter_n as_o no_o dissenter_n ever_o make_v it_o be_v a_o popish_a character_n father_v upon_o a_o dissenter_n for_o which_o they_o be_v much_o behold_v to_o he_o that_o when_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o say_v thing_n so_o spiteful_a and_o silly_a that_o he_o himself_o though_o none_o of_o the_o modest_a man_n be_v ashamed_a to_o own_o he_o can_v think_v of_o no_o person_n so_o fit_a to_o say_v they_o as_o a_o dissenter_n do_v ever_o any_o dissenter_n charge_v the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o make_v god_n of_o dead_a man_n because_o we_o call_v our_o church_n still_o by_o the_o name_n of_o those_o saint_n to_o who_o they_o be_v dedicate_v in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n for_o do_v not_o the_o dissenter_n themselves_o do_v so_o in_o the_o late_a time_n of_o reformation_n and_o do_v they_o scruple_n to_o do_v so_o now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n it_o be_v only_o in_o not_o give_v the_o title_n of_o saint_n to_o they_o and_o i_o suppose_v that_o do_v not_o alter_v the_o case_n for_o if_o it_o be_v paul_n or_o peter_n or_o mary_n church_n it_o be_v much_o the_o fame_n but_o they_o be_v not_o so_o silly_a as_o to_o think_v that_o name_n which_o be_v use_v only_o for_o distinction_n without_o pay_v any_o worship_n to_o saint_n or_o erect_v any_o altar_n to_o they_o in_o those_o church_n which_o be_v call_v by_o their_o name_n make_v god_n of_o dead_a man_n the_o bill_n of_o mortality_n be_v the_o same_o former_o in_o the_o dissenter_n time_n that_o they_o be_v now_o and_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o suspect_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o place_v mary_n above_o christ_n or_o make_v a_o goddess_n of_o she_o do_v ever_o any_o dissenter_n charge_v the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o image-idolatry_n for_o have_v picture_n in_o their_o bibles_n or_o moses_n and_o aaron_n paint_v with_o the_o ten_o commandment_n without_o leave_v out_o the_o second_o against_o image-worship_n especial_o when_o these_o be_v thing_n wherein_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v no_o otherwise_o concern_v than_o in_o not_o correct_v the_o extravagancy_n of_o painter_n and_o printer_n and_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v always_o suspect_v that_o these_o man_n who_o now_o charge_v we_o with_o the_o image-idolatry_n of_o have_v picture_n in_o our_o common-prayer_n book_n which_o be_v a_o very_a late_a invention_n do_v secret_o lay_v the_o design_n to_o reconcile_v our_o people_n by_o degree_n to_o the_o use_n of_o picture_n and_o image_n the_o dissenter_n indeed_o be_v never_o any_o great_a friend_n to_o holiday_n but_o they_o never_o charge_v we_o with_o worship_v saint_n on_o those_o day_n which_o they_o see_v we_o do_v not_o nor_o do_v they_o now_o charge_v we_o with_o worship_v the_o bread_n when_o we_o kneel_v at_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o public_a declaration_n of_o our_o church_n but_o reject_v it_o because_o it_o be_v no_o table-posture_n and_o because_o it_o have_v be_v abuse_v as_o they_o scruple_n not_o to_o say_v to_o a_o idolatrous_a worship_n of_o the_o host_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o have_v indeed_o object_v against_o our_o liturgy_n that_o it_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n and_o have_v be_v sufficient_o answer_v as_o to_o that_o point_n and_o we_o know_v who_o they_o be_v that_o first_o start_v that_o objection_n firebrand_n some_o mass-priest_n under_o the_o disguise_n of_o puritan_n but_o i_o never_o hear_v before_o that_o they_o be_v scare_v with_o the_o very_a name_n of_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n and_o colect_v and_o litany_n nor_o do_v they_o ever_o quarrel_v with_o retain_v popish_a saint_n in_o our_o calendar_n when_o we_o give_v they_o to_o place_n in_o our_o prayer_n which_o be_v only_o a_o evidence_n what_o reformation_n we_o have_v make_v i_o never_o know_v before_o that_o our_o dissenter_n think_v the_o mass-book_n as_o ancient_a as_o st._n basil_n and_o st._n chrysostom_n or_o that_o they_o like_v our_o common-prayer-book_n ever_o the_o worse_a because_o it_o come_v in_o with_o the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n and_o have_v be_v alter_v since_o several_a time_n for_o the_o better_a whereas_o their_o complaint_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o alter_v enough_o much_o less_o be_v they_o scandalize_v at_o the_o thanksgiving_n for_o discovery_n of_o the_o plot_n how_o great_a a_o chimaera_n soever_o it_o be_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o dispute_n that_o i_o know_v of_o between_o the_o dissenter_n and_o we_o about_o the_o power_n of_o absolution_n or_o the_o ministerial_a power_n of_o forgive_a sin_n they_o and_o we_o agree_v that_o christ_n have_v leave_v such_o a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n of_o remit_v and_o retain_v sin_n of_o receive_v in_o and_o put_v out_o of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o state_n of_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n and_o we_o both_o deny_v that_o this_o be_v absolute_a and_o judicial_a or_o not_o only_o ministerial_a they_o know_v we_o oppose_v the_o pretence_n of_o a_o judicial_a power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o we_o say_v be_v reserve_v for_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a they_o shall_v peremptory_o charge_v we_o with_o give_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o forgive_v sin_n to_o man_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n accuse_v we_o of_o not_o agree_v what_o this_o power_n of_o absolution_n be_v though_o our_o accommodator_n may_v make_v bold_a sometime_o to_o contradict_v himself_o yet_o i_o doubt_v the_o dissenter_n will_v think_v themselves_o misrepresent_v by_o such_o contradiction_n but_o do_v ever_o any_o dissenter_n charge_v we_o with_o encourage_v a_o deathbed_n repentance_n for_o not_o oblige_v man_n to_o confession_n and_o penance_n which_o he_o call_v to_o confess_v and_o repent_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o health_n we_o teach_v man_n to_o confess_v their_o sin_n to_o god_n and_o to_o man_n too_o when_o there_o be_v occasion_n for_o it_o either_o to_o reconcile_v themselves_o to_o their_o brother_n or_o to_o receive_v ghostly_a comfort_n and_o advice_n and_o we_o teach_v they_o to_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o reform_v they_o in_o time_n of_o health_n and_o show_v they_o what_o great_a danger_n there_o be_v in_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n and_o how_o very_o seldom_o it_o prove_v true_a which_o be_v no_o great_a encouragement_n to_o such_o delay_n but_o how_o the_o dissenter_n who_o reject_v confession_n to_o a_o priest_n and_o the_o popish_a sacrament_n of_o penance_n themselves_o shall_v quarrel_v with_o we_o for_o do_v so_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a but_o we_o pretend_v to_o a_o power_n of_o give_v absolution_n and_o never_o enjoin_v it_o but_o in_o the_o last_o agony_n which_o he_o say_v be_v argument_n enough_o to_o conclude_v 25._o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n of_o repent_v among_o we_o till_o death_n look_v we_o in_o the_o face_n but_o he_o have_v not_o improve_v this_o argument_n so_o well_o as_o he_o may_v for_o absolution_n be_v never_o enjoin_v not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n for_o we_o be_v only_o require_v to_o give_v absolution_n in_o case_n the_o penitent_n earnest_o desire_v it_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o reason_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o think_v repentance_n never_o necessary_a not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n but_o other_o man_n who_o have_v common_a understanding_n will_v hence_o conclude_v that_o we_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o sinner_n repentance_n and_o the_o priest_n absolution_n that_o the_o first_o be_v always_o necessary_a the_o other_o only_o in_o case_n of_o church_n censure_n or_o to_o give_v relief_n to_o afflict_a conscience_n or_o to_o dismiss_v penitent_a sinner_n in_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o dissenter_n themselves_o allow_v convert_v priest_n who_o be_v under_o the_o vow_n of_o continency_n to_o marry_v if_o they_o can_v preserve_v their_o chastity_n without_o it_o and_o have_v not_o our_o accomodator_n then_o put_v a_o wise_a objection_n into_o their_o mouth_n against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o if_o it_o be_v any_o objection_n return_v
