we_o shall_v come_v to_o that_o in_o time_n at_o present_a i_o pray_v clear_a this_o matter_n if_o you_o can_v p._n d._n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v all_o this_o rake_n and_o scrape_v and_o search_v and_o quote_v of_o passage_n not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o point_n of_o idolatry_n r._n p._n what!_o will_v you_o have_v a_o man_n do_v nothing_o to_o fill_v up_o a_o book_n and_o make_v it_o carry_v something_o of_o the_o port_n of_o a_o answer_n especial_o to_o a_o thick_a book_n of_o between_o 800_o and_o 900_o page_n p._n d._n if_o this_o be_v your_o design_n go_v on_o but_o i_o will_v make_v my_o answer_n as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v for_o methinks_v t._n g._n seem_v to_o have_v lose_v that_o spirit_n and_o briskness_n he_o have_v before_o for_o than_o he_o talk_v like_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o point_n but_o now_o he_o flag_n and_o draw_v heavy_o on_o for_o he_o repeat_v what_o he_o have_v say_v before_o for_o some_o page_n and_o then_o

seem_v to_o favour_v the_o dissenter_n i_o be_o quite_o tire_v with_o this_o impertinency_n yet_o i_o will_v fain_o see_v a_o end_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v come_v close_o to_o the_o business_n of_o idolatry_n which_o i_o long_o to_o be_v at_o r._n p._n your_o stomach_n be_v too_o sharp_a set_v we_o must_v blunt_v it_o a_o little_a before_o you_o fall_v to_o p._n d._n you_o take_v the_o course_n to_o do_v it_o with_o all_o this_o impertinency_n but_o what_o be_v it_o you_o have_v to_o say_v r._n p._n to_o please_v you_o i_o will_v bring_v this_o charge_n as_o near_o to_o the_o point_n of_o idolatry_n as_o i_o can_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v this_o dr._n st._n say_v the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v not_o look_v on_o her_o article_n as_o article_n of_o faith_n etc._n but_o as_o inferior_a truth_n from_o thence_o t._n g._n infer_v 1._o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o err_v against_o any_o article_n of_o faith_n 2._o dr._n st._n do_v not_o believe_v the_o thirty_o nine_o article_n to_o be_v article_n of_o faith_n 3_o then_o this_o charge_n of_o idolatry_n be_v vain_a and_o groundless_a because_o idolatry_n be_v a_o error_n against_o a_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n p._n d._n here_o be_v not_o one_o word_n new_a in_o all_o this_o long_a charge_n but_o a_o tedious_a repetition_n of_o what_o t._n g._n have_v say_v before_o it_o consist_v of_o two_o point_n 1._o the_o charge_n upon_o dr._n st._n for_o undermine_v the_o church_n of_o england_n 2._o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o the_o charge_n of_o idolatry_n upon_o his_o own_o supposition_n because_o t._n g._n seem_v to_o think_v there_o be_v something_o in_o this_o business_n which_o touch_v dr._n st._n to_o the_o quick_a and_o therefore_o he_o decline_v give_v any_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o i_o will_v undertake_v to_o do_v it_o for_o he_o dr._n st._n do_v indeed_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v not_o make_v her_o article_n article_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v the_o article_n of_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o his_o creed_n and_o do_v ever_o any_o divine_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n say_v otherwise_o it_o be_v

the_o ground_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o church_n authority_n in_o propose_v thing_n to_o be_v believe_v but_o do_v the_o church_n of_o england_n challenge_v any_o such_o infallibility_n to_o herself_o no._n she_o utter_o disow_v it_o in_o her_o very_a article_n therefore_o she_o must_v leave_v matter_n of_o faith_n as_o she_o find_v they_o i._n e._n she_o receive_v all_o the_o creed_n into_o her_o
