religion_n and_o so_o much_o of_o late_a romish_a faith_n and_o doctrine_n as_o be_v consonant_n and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o same_o but_o for_o all_o this_o the_o papist_n seem_v to_o have_v strong_a

his_o mercy_n will_v illustrate_v your_o understanding_n in_o this_o difficulty_n as_o he_o have_v do_v already_o in_o the_o rest_n but_o for_o this_o subject_n i_o have_v write_v so_o large_o thereof_o in_o two_o several_a book_n viz._n the_o down_o fall_v of_o popery_n and_o the_o jesuit_n antepast_n that_o i_o be_o altogether_o unwilling_a to_o handle_v the_o same_o a_o fresh_a theoph._n i_o have_v read_v both_o those_o book_n &_o they_o do_v content_v i_o exceed_o howbeit_o some_o objection_n may_v yet_o be_v make_v against_o the_o doctrine_n there_o deliver_v which_o myself_o be_o

to_o return_v they_o to_o the_o pope_n utter_a shame_n to_o the_o and_o everlasting_a confusion_n of_o all_o jesuited_a papist_n that_o shall_v obstinate_o believe_v or_o defend_v the_o same_o chap._n 5._o of_o popish_a unwritten_a tradition_n theophilus_n i_o will_v still_o by_o your_o favour_n argue_v as_o a_o papist_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o papist_n that_o so_o i_o may_v more_o clear_o have_v a_o sound_a insight_n into_o the_o truth_n you_o protestant_n for_o so_o we_o use_v to_o term_v you_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o scripture_n or_o write_v word_n of_o god_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o man_n salvation_n but_o our_o learned_a and_o religious_a cardinal_n bellarminus_n assure_v we_o that_o the_o truth_n be_v far_o otherwise_o and_o that_o many_o thing_n

for_o his_o pain_n remig._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o i_o know_v your_o cardinal_n right_o well_o and_o willing_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v learn_v 5._o as_o also_o religious_a and_o ●ealous_a after_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o sect_n but_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o paul_n be_v before_o his_o conversion_n second_o that_o your_o cardinal_n do_v often_o acknowledge_v the_o truth_n unaware_o against_o himself_o as_o do_v your_o other_o jesuit_n one_o only_a assertion_n i_o will_v now_o cite_v out_o of_o the_o jesuite_n s._n r._n robert_n parson_n be_v the_o man_n in_o his_o pretence_a answer_n to_o the_o downfall_n of_o popery_n these_o be_v his_o express_a 286._o word_n where_o if_o by_o divina_fw-la eloquia_fw-la we_o understand_v holy_a writ_n as_o bell_n translate_v and_o saint_n austen_n seem_v to_o mean_v i_o think_v he_o plain_o avouch_v that_o god_n have_v procure_v every_o thing_n to_o be_v clear_o write_v which_o to_o know_v be_v necessary_a to_o every_o man_n salvation_n the_o same_o teace_v saint_n syril_n say_v not_o all_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n 68_o do_v be_v write_v but_o what_o the_o writer_n deem_v sufficient_a as_o well_o for_o manner_n as_o

to_o answer_v my_o book_n the_o downfall_n of_o popery_n out_o of_o who_o confession_n and_o free_a grant_n such_o be_v the_o force_n of_o truth_n i_o observe_v these_o memorable_a and_o golden_a lesson_n first_o that_o every_o thing_n necessary_a for_o every_o man_n salvation_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n second_o and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v admire_v sake_n come_v from_o a_o papist_n mouth_n that_o every_o point_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n be_v plain_o and_o clear_o set_v down_o in_o holy_a writ_n three_o that_o god_n himself_o appoint_v all_o necessary_a thing_n to_o be_v clear_o write_v four_o that_o saint_n augustine_n saint_n chrisostome_n and_o saint_n cyrill_n be_v of_o my_o opinion_n five_o that_o the_o jesuite_n unaware_o justify_v that_o doctrine_n which_o he_o pupose_o labour_v to_o overthrow_v 5_o for_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n say_v to_o saul_n it_o be_v hard_o for_o he_o to_o kick_v against_o prick_v theoph._n the_o jesuite_n s._n r._n when_o you_o right_o name_n parson_n grant_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v write_v which_o be_v necessary_a for_o salvation_n but_o not_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o 285._o faith_n and_o

teach_v saint_n austen_n when_o he_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v write_v which_o seem_v sufficient_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o faithful_a where_o i_o note_v say_v s._n r._n that_o he_o say_v not_o which_o seem_v sufficient_a to_o christian_a faith_n but_o which_o seem_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n because_o few_o point_n suffice_v to_o salvation_n than_o the_o christian_a faith_n contain_v thus_o write_v the_o jesuite_n in_o flat_a term_n free_o grant_v the_o scripture_n superfluous_a to_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n but_o not_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n remig._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o jesuite_n grant_v as_o much_o as_o i_o desire_v when_o he_o grant_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n for_o doubtless_o if_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n be_v write_v desire_v in_o the_o scripture_n it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o no_o unwritten_a tradition_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o same_o second_o that_o salvation_n nothing_o be_v or_o can_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o the_o same_o be_v also_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v follow_v which_o no_o christian_n may_v anouch_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v save_v without_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o s._n athanasius_n in_o that_o créede_v or_o summary_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n receive_v and_o high_o reverence_v affirm_v symbol_n resolute_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v not_o stédfast_o every_o jot_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n shall_v perish_v everlasting_o three_o that_o whosoever_o have_v the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o his_o salvation_n four_o that_o see_v the_o christian_a faith_n by_o popish_a doctrine_n contaïn_v many_o point_v not_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o many_o point_n of_o popish_a so_o suppose_a christian_a faith_n be_v needless_a in_o very_a deed_n and_o for_o that_o respect_n with_o some_o other_o our_o church_n of_o noble_a england_n have_v abolish_v the_o

protestant_n can_v ever_o batter_v down_o while_o the_o world_n shall_v endure_v remig._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o by_o our_o jesuit_n doctrine_n as_o
never_o read_v or_o see_v much_o less_o do_v they_o authorise_v it_o for_o canonical_a scripture_n and_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o albeit_o they_o have_v both_o the_o hebrew_n

of_o the_o hebrew_n neither_o yet_o deliver_v to_o the_o church_n by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n theoph._n i_o now_o remember_v a_o strange_a say_n of_o the_o jesuite_n parson_n viz_n that_o
