succession_n of_o bishop_n and_o priest_n they_o retain_v a_o liturgy_n they_o continue_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o wear_v the_o surplice_n and_o

as_o i_o and_o to_o grant_v protestant_n to_o be_v a_o high_a and_o mighty_a word_n in_o england_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o do_v not_o like_v it_o and_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o my_o last_o intelligence_n from_o adrianople_n assure_v i_o that_o the_o grand_a sultan_n and_o all_o his_o musselman_n be_v no_o way_n popish_o affect_v but_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v the_o test_n against_o popery_n and_o to_o renounce_v all_o popish_a doctrine_n and_o superstition_n with_o as_o much_o devotion_n as_o any_o presbyterian_a in_o england_n now_o if_o the_o mere_a protest_v against_o the_o pope_n must_v be_v the_o essential_a character_n of_o christian_a religion_n i_o confess_v i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o avoid_v the_o consequence_n but_o must_v conclude_v the_o turk_n to_o be_v a_o protestant_n and_o i_o think_v that_o name_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o passionate_o court_v by_o a_o christian_a that_o will_v not_o distinguish_v he_o from_o a_o turk_n second_o the_o establish_v church_n of_o england_n though_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o in_o great_a wisdom_n do_v not_o assume_v this_o particular_a characteristick_n of_o protestant_a in_o all_o its_o article_n canon_n and_o liturgy_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o private_o enamour_v of_o that_o name_n which_o the_o church_n never_o think_v fit_a public_o to_o espouse_v three_o the_o word_n protestant_n be_v above_o four_o and_o fifty_o degree_n of_o northern_a latitude_n and_o have_v so_o large_a a_o arch_n that_o it_o

dialogue_n may_v call_v these_o man_n fanatic_n yet_o you_o know_v all_o sober_a and_o moderate_a man_n call_v they_o protestant_n and_o i_o acknowledge_v i_o have_v no_o great_a kindness_n for_o that_o word_n which_o do_v level_v a_o cathedral_n to_o a_o conventicle_n and_o make_v no_o distinction_n betwixt_o a_o archbishop_n and_o a_o lay-elder_n if_o i_o be_v cast_v upon_o japan_n and_o some_o command_a japonese_n will_v have_v a_o account_n of_o my_o religion_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o answer_v i_o be_o a_o christian_n which_o be_v a_o sound_v intelligible_a to_o all_o nation_n if_o i_o shall_v tell_v he_o i_o be_v a_o protestant_n he_o will_v fancy_n that_o name_n to_o be_v some_o particular_a sect_n of_o northern_a paganism_n but_o suppose_v in_o my_o return_n i_o shall_v land_n at_o thoulon_n and_o there_o some_o brisk_a monsieur_n shall_v demand_v my_o religion_n now_o if_o i_o shall_v answer_v i_o be_v a_o protestant_n they_o will_v run_v i_o through_o all_o the_o compass_n of_o protestant_a religion_n ask_v i_o whether_o i_o be_v a_o protestant_a according_a to_o the_o north_n or_o according_a to_o the_o point_n of_o the_o north_n and_o by_o east_n or_o the_o north_n north-east_n or_o the_o north-east_n and_o by_o north_n and_o so_o whirl_v i_o through_o more_o than_o two_o and_o thirty_o point_n before_o i_o

protest_v against_o the_o heresy_n of_o arrius_n novatus_n eutyches_n donatus_n &c_n &c_n with_o as_o much_o solemnity_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v against_o popish_a doctrine_n yet_o they_o think_v it_o not_o wisdom_n from_o this_o accident_n to_o call_v themselves_o protestant_n but_o do_v sacred_o retain_v the_o old_a title_n of_o catholic_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o general_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n catholic_n yet_o i_o observe_v that_o particular_a patriarchates_n and_o province_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n do_v claim_v a_o share_n in_o this_o title_n for_o i_o have_v see_v imperial_a and_o conciliary_a epistle_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o alexandria_n constantinople_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o sir_n before_o the_o first_o date_n of_o

church_n of_o england_n now_o this_o character_n will_v distinguish_v i_o from_o the_o pope_n the_o fanatic_a and_o the_o turk_n that_o fiery_a triplicity_n of_o the_o world_n four_o i_o have_v a_o

and_o have_v retain_v the_o title_n of_o catholic_n with_o some_o decent_a reverence_n in_o public_a solemnity_n all_o modest_a papist_n will_v have_v embrace_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o reform_a

to_o ourselves_o a_o new_a style_n which_o the_o church_n never_o know_v for_o 1500_o year_n be_v as_o mighty_a a_o advantage_n to_o rome_n and_o as_o great_a a_o mischief_n to_o the_o reformation_n as_o our_o enemy_n themselves_o can_v have_v design_v for_o this_o give_v occasion_n for_o many_o to_o conclude_v that_o our_o church_n have_v no_o elder_a epocha_n than_o the_o augustan_n

will_v choose_v and_o snatch_v at_o some_o peculiar_a part_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o best_o please_v their_o nice_a fancy_n and_o leave_v the_o rest_n as_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v touch_v it_o
