of_o his_o i_o think_v he_o borrow_v of_o some_o french_a hugonot_n for_o all_o the_o way_n that_o be_v here_o now_o in_o england_n concur_v each_o one_o unto_o a_o body_n a_o organical_a body_n not_o

by_o a_o far_o lesser_a assembly_n in_o a_o word_n this_o whole_a book_n of_o stillingfleet_v be_v a_o large_a discourse_n against_o a_o theological_a argument_n of_o some_o catholic_a disputant_n the_o argument_n it_o seem_v be_v this_o christian_n faith_n can_v be_v divine_a except_o it_o have_v its_o birth_n from_o a_o infallible_a proposer_n and_o consequent_o the_o church_n must_v either_o

argument_n of_o the_o catholic_a gentleman_n be_v indeed_o a_o pretty_a theological_a ratiocination_n and_o stillingfleet_v answer_v evasion_n and_o distinction_n both_o concern_v the_o argument_n in_o general_n and_o all_o the_o particular_n it_o run_v into_o be_v not_o unwitty_a but_o this_o be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o business_n alas_o we_o in_o our_o controversy_n about_o religion_n be_v not_o come_v thus_o far_o such_o a_o discourse_n have_v be_v handsome_o fit_v to_o theological_a school_n and_o very_o proper_a among_o learned_a divine_n there_o but_o here_o not_o so_o what_o be_v it_o to_o our_o business_n in_o hand_n whether_o faith_n can_v or_o can_v be_v divine_a except_o the_o proposer_n be_v infallible_a and_o as_o it_o be_v divine_a this_o be_v a_o mere_a theological_a dispute_n and_o he_o that_o answer_v stillingfleet_v book_n defend_v not_o faith_n immediate_o but_o a_o argumentator_n syllogism_n religion_n indeed_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v question_v or_o dispute_v run_v present_o into_o philosophy_n and_o therein_o if_o great_a heed_n be_v not_o take_v it_o be_v quite_o lose_v and_o thence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o most_o part_n of_o our_o controversy_n book_n be_v about_o school_n philosophy_n and_o human_a reason_n i_o blame_v not_o the_o catholic_a gentleman_n who_o ever_o he_o be_v for_o his_o argument_n nor_o will_v stillingfleet_n be_v blame_v for_o defend_v his_o place_n but_o i_o let_v my_o countryman_n spectator_n of_o the_o contest_v understand_v that_o in_o deed_n and_o truth_n so_o often_o as_o we_o dispute_v we_o be_v beyond_o the_o business_n all_o writer_n of_o controversy_n speak_v more_o than_o faith_n when_o they_o either_o defend_v or_o oppose_v it_o and_o in_o read_v controversy_n we_o see_v not_o so_o much_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o faith_n as_o the_o wit_n of_o he_o who_o oppose_v or_o defend_v it_o and_o so_o much_o this_o some_o time_n that_o the_o other_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o discern_v this_o the_o world_n must_v know_v and_o understand_v well_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v miserable_o mistake_v as_o indeed_o i_o see_v all_o man_n be_v when_o two_o lawyer_n plead_v about_o a_o case_n of_o right_n perhaps_o three_o hour_n together_o all_o that_o three_o hour_n talk_n be_v not_o law_n or_o the_o right_n they_o talk_v of_o but_o only_o their_o ratiocination_n about_o it_o and_o such_o be_v all_o our_o controversy_n about_o religion_n and_o he_o do_v best_a therein_o who_o still_o put_v his_o adversary_n in_o mind_n what_o be_v his_o talk_n and_o what_o be_v the_o faith_n they_o talk_v of_o but_o he_o that_o defend_v both_o of_o they_o equal_o forget_v himself_o and_o thus_o i_o see_v that_o general_o man_n do_v miscarry_v on_o both_o side_n the_o protestant_a by_o call_v that_o romanish_a doctrine_n which_o be_v but_o a_o catholics_n discourse_n for_o it_o and_o the_o catholic_a by_o maintain_v that_o talk_n of_o he_o which_o it_o be_v not_o a_o pin_n matter_n whether_o it_o stand_v or_o fall_v for_o faith_n be_v firm_a and_o constant_a though_o all_o my_o talk_n for_o it_o be_v miserable_o weak_a now_o all_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o faith_n which_o stillingfleet_n and_o his_o adversary_n talk_v of_o be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o only_o this_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v by_o god_n divine_a promise_n of_o be_v ever_o with_o she_o a_o power_n to_o oblige_v her_o subject_n to_o hear_v and_o obey_v she_o if_o they_o mean_v to_o be_v happy_a in_o their_o way_n the_o catholic_a affirm_v this_o stillingfleet_n with_o his_o protestant_n deny_v it_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o it_o which_o be_v not_o here_o touch_v and_o a_o theological_a business_n of_o infallibility_n only_o speak_v of_o and_o therefore_o stillingfleet_n be_v much_o to_o blame_v when_o he_o speak_v so_o often_o in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o romanist_n way_n of_o resolve_v faith_n the_o
now_o actual_a inhabitant_n of_o this_o land_n and_o progeny_n of_o the_o saxon_n receive_v first_o our_o gospel_n and_o christendom_n from_o rome_n though_o the_o britain_n who_o inhabit_v this_o

ay_o let_v we_o come_v to_o proper_a one_o you_o fall_v then_o upon_o my_o query_n in_o the_o end_n of_o my_o book_n the_o roman_a be_v once_o a_o true_a flourish_a church_n and_o if_o she_o ever_o
