here_o in_o england_n where_o there_o be_v monk_n of_o s._n benedict_n order_n friar_n of_o s._n francis_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o these_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v any_o division_n in_o the_o

many_o different_a order_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o without_o any_o difference_n in_o religion_n or_o disagreement_n in_o faith._n now_o how_o unlike_a be_v this_o to_o what_o the_o preacher_n deliver_v how_o different_a be_v these_o from_o what_o be_v common_o here_o understand_v and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n call_v fanatic_o but_o however_o the_o apologizer_n be_v to_o bring_v he_o off_o and_o therefore_o fanaticism_n say_v he_o be_v a_o general_a name_n and_o comprehend_v in_o it_o superstition_n and_o enthusiasm_n so_o that_o religious_a man_n in_o convent_v be_v fanatic_o forsooth_o because_o they_o be_v act_v by_o some_o suppose_a revelation_n vision_n rapture_n and_o unaccountable_a impulse_n what_o controversial_a stuff_n be_v this_o why_o at_o this_o rate_n he_o

who_o whole_a book_n of_o revelation_n be_v nothing_o now_o it_o seem_v but_o so_o much_o fanaticism_n marry_o welfare_n such_o fanatic_o i_o wish_v the_o church-of-england-man_n be_v such_o fanatic_o too_o and_o be_v act_v a_o little_a more_o by_o such_o vision_n revelation_n and_o divine_a impulse_n instead_o of_o those_o we_o have_v see_v of_o late_a year_n when_o the_o vision_n of_o sir_n

if_o all_o have_v come_v direct_o from_o heaven_n but_o see_v now_o whither_o we_o be_v drive_v by_o the_o conduct_n of_o a_o close_a vindicator_n the_o preacher_n tell_v his_o auditory_a 1._o that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n there_o be_v real_o more_o division_n than_o they_o charge_v we_o with_o 2._o that_o their_o religious_a order_n be_v neither_o better_o nor_o worse_o than_o so_o

salvation_n and_o of_o this_o i_o desire_v the_o defender_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o i_o answer_v his_o challenge_n and_o here_o do_v

their_o papist_n this_o declaration_n i_o make_v for_o his_o satisfaction_n since_o he_o desire_v it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v as_o he_o say_v i_o here_o do_v it_o now_o if_o this_o will_v end_v the_o controversy_n but_o i_o must_v caution_n he_o to_o be_v a_o little_a more_o reasonable_a than_o when_o he_o make_v the_o late_a resolution_n of_o think_v nothing_o to_o be_v detestable_a among_o all_o the_o doctrine_n lay_v to_o we_o beside_o such_o as_o i_o express_o reject_v since_o it_o be_v impossible_a i_o shall_v ever_o sum_v they_o up_o there_o be_v scarce_o a_o sermon_n or_o book_n of_o they_o but_o what_o furnish_v fresh_a matter_n and_o like_o ill_a weed_n grow_v every_o day_n however_o if_o he_o will_v but_o send_v i_o word_n when_o the_o guide_n of_o his_o church_n be_v become_v such_o lover_n of_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n as_o to_o leave_v off_o calumniate_a and_o throw_v dirt_n against_o we_o i_o shall_v then_o be_v in_o some_o hope_n of_o bring_v the_o detestable_a doctrine_n into_o number_n but_o till_o then_o he_o must_v never_o expect_v to_o see_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o desire_v he_o to_o draw_v i_o up_o a_o exact_a catalogue_n of_o all_o and_o every_o sin_n by_o which_o the_o commandment_n be_v break_v if_o he_o will_v but_o offer_v at_o this_o he_o may_v fall_v something_o into_o the_o account_n of_o the_o unreasonable_a task_n he_o have_v put_v upon_o i_o by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v the_o reader_n be_v satisfy_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n the_o papist_n complain_v of_o be_v misrepresent_v and_o though_o some_o have_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o pretend_v that_o we_o have_v not_o produce_v one_o clear_a instance_n of_o it_o yet_o that_o now_o we_o have_v many_o and_o many_o more_o they_o may_v have_v if_o it_o be_v require_v and_o this_o i_o hope_v be_v sufficient_a to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o one_o half_a of_o the_o controversy_n which_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o the_o first_o book_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o papist_n be_v misrepresent_v and_o if_o any_o make_v exception_n against_o the_o character_n of_o he_o thus_o disguise_v as_o it_o be_v

for_o the_o other_o part_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o papist_n represent_v i_o here_o own_o it_o again_o that_o it_o be_v the_o papist_n i_o be_o and_o whoever_o assent_v to_o that_o character_n in_o

to_o think_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o reach_v to_o every_o particular_a be_v more_o than_o ever_o i_o can_v pretend_v to_o and_o to_o this_o difficulty_n i_o desire_v this_o answerer_n to_o let_v i_o
