the_o principal_a act_n of_o the_o popish_a religion_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o some_o particular_n as_o first_o in_o rest_v upon_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o man_n but_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n be_v great_a for_o it_o be_v embrace_v by_o enemy_n as_o well_o as_o by_o friend_n and_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o we_o can_v be_v so_o assure_v of_o tradition_n second_o in_o dry_a communion_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o christ_n ordain_v two_o distinct_a sign_n and_o that_o god_n be_v please_v when_o we_o do_v what_o he_o require_v but_o we_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o god_n be_v please_v with_o half_a communion_n that_o be_v the_o popish_a receive_n of_o the_o bread_n without_o the_o wine_n under_o pretence_n of_o concomitancie_n no_o though_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o christ_n be_v corporal_o present_a because_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o seal_n and_o sign_n of_o our_o crucify_a lord_n when_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v sever_v as_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n 20._o luk._n 22._o 19_o 20._o which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o and_z this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o three_o in_o the_o pope_n monarchical_a headship_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n because_o it_o be_v his_o office_n and_o he_o be_v of_o infinite_a power_n &_o influence_n yea_o and_o present_v with_o personale_fw-la secundum_fw-la esse_fw-la personale_fw-la we_o by_o his_o divine_a power_n and_o virtue_n but_o we_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n no_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o outward_a administration_n 12._o ephes_n 4._o 11._o 12._o and_o government_n because_o god_n have_v not_o sanctify_v one_o man_n only_o but_o many_o for_o the_o gather_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n though_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v monarchical_a yet_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n bishop_n and_o minister_n it_o be_v aristocratical_a four_o in_o prayer_n in_o a_o tongue_n not_o understand_v by_o the_o people_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v in_o our_o mother_n tongue_n for_o every_o 250._o psas_n 250._o tongue_n shall_v praise_v the_o lord_n yea_o and_o the_o papist_n will_v confess_v it_o for_o even_o they_o have_v some_o prayer_n in_o vulgar_a tongue_n as_o their_o manuel_n of_o godly_a prayer_n jesus_n psalter_n and_o the_o like_a but_o we_o can_v be_v assure_v of_o god_n accept_v service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n because_o though_o god_n understand_v it_o yet_o the_o people_n can_v with_o understanding_n say_v amen_n 40._o 1_o cor._n 14._o 16._o they_o may_v give_v a_o faint_a lazy_a hasty_a and_o ignorant_a amen_o but_o not_o zealous_a godw._n mos_n &_o aar_n

without_o they_o without_o offence_n because_o god_n have_v never_o command_v or_o require_v such_o pretend_a help_n yea_o and_o the_o papist_n do_v sometime_o pray_v without_o they_o as_o in_o some_o of_o their_o private_a orison_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o lent_n when_o they_o be_v cover_v but_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o such_o worship_n can_v please_v god_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o punctual_a against_o they_o and_o they_o be_v such_o snare_n to_o tie_v our_o devotion_n below_o six_o in_o invocation_n of_o saint_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o god_n because_o he_o have_v bid_v 50._o psal_n 50._o we_o and_o have_v promise_v to_o hear_v and_o to_o help_v we_o yea_o and_o the_o papist_n themselves_o hold_v this_o lawful_a but_o we_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o call_v upon_o the_o saint_n please_v either_o god_n or_o they_o or_o that_o they_o do_v hear_v or_o can_v help_v
