well_o become_v the_o mouth_n of_o one_o of_o the_o hind_n calf_n but_o you_o know_v the_o strain_n of_o this_o generation_n be_v mighty_o alter_v since_o seven_o year_n ago_o when_o they_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v by_o the_o singular_a humanity_n of_o church_n of_o england-man_n to_o give_v they_o far_o different_a character_n that_o it_o seem_v be_v nothing_o now_o his_o great_a design_n be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o england_n agree_v in_o three_o point_n concern_v 1._o the_o historical_a use_n of_o image_n 2._o the_o commemorative_n use_v of_o image_n 3._o the_o respect_n and_o honour_n due_a to_o image_n now_o though_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o history_n which_o my_o angry_a adversary_n quarrel_n with_o for_o that_o will_v be_v true_a still_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o can_v he_o prove_v it_o yet_o i_o be_o content_a to_o go_v along_o with_o he_o in_o his_o undertake_n and_o if_o i_o be_o not_o foul_o deceive_v he_o have_v undertake_v a_o impossibility_n a_o essay_n perhaps_o towards_o his_o undertake_n to_o do_v a_o miracle_n next_o let_v we_o see_v a_o little_a by_o compare_v the_o sense_n of_o both_o church_n 1._o for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o know_v enough_o of_o it_o and_o too_o much_o of_o all_o conscience_n she_o have_v picture_n and_o image_n he_o say_v for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o ignorant_a that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v acquaint_v with_o those_o sacred_a person_n of_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o apostle_n it_o be_v for_o this_o end_n say_v our_o discourser_n they_o be_v set_v up_o and_o be_v this_o all_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v then_o that_o she_o have_v too_o the_o pretend_a picture_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a trinity_n be_v it_o not_o that_o people_n may_v be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o invisible_a immaterial_a incomprehensible_a and_o infinite_a deity_n also_o a_o rare_a way_n indeed_o especial_o for_o the_o ignorant_a to_o conceive_v right_o and_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n 2._o he_o say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v image_n for_o the_o commemorative_n use_v of_o they_o to_o excite_v people_n to_o give_v god_n thanks_o for_o his_o favour_n and_o to_o admonish_v they_o to_o conform_v their_o life_n to_o such_o example_n well_o we_o quarrel_v not_o about_o this_o nor_o do_v we_o blame_v any_o man_n for_o look_v on_o the_o picture_n of_o saint_n to_o this_o purpose_n especial_o if_o they_o find_v it_o have_v this_o power_n upon_o they_o but_o yet_o i_o must_v tell_v he_o that_o this_o can_v justify_v their_o have_v such_o representation_n as_o i_o mention_v before_o for_o when_o god_n the_o father_n be_v picture_v like_o a_o old_a man_n with_o a_o long_a beard_n and_o all_o the_o three_o person_n be_v picture_v like_o three_o head_n upon_o one_o body_n what_o influence_n such_o strange_a representation_n can_v have_v to_o excite_v any_o man_n to_o thankfulness_n and_o conformity_n do_v i_o confess_v pass_v my_o poor_a trifle_a understanding_n to_o conceive_v 3._o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v image_n that_o they_o may_v be_v worship_v also_o this_o be_v clear_a even_o from_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o the_o roman_a catechism_n nay_o our_o discourser_n himself_o grant_v it_o but_o then_o to_o soften_v the_o matter_n he_o say_v two_o thing_n which_o i_o must_v a_o little_a consider_v that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o state_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o church_n and_o church_n 1._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o though_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n teach_v that_o due_a honour_n and_o veneration_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o divinity_n or_o virtue_n that_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v in_o they_o for_o which_o they_o 11._o pag._n 11._o be_v to_o be_v worship_v or_o that_o any_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v ask_v of_o they_o or_o any_o confidence_n to_o be_v place_v in_o they_o but_o how_o do_v he_o know_v that_o this_o be_v not_o believe_v 1._o i_o appeal_v to_o his_o own_o conscience_n if_o he_o do_v not_o think_v that_o thousand_o of_o his_o communion_n do_v very_o believe_v it_o for_o what_o else_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o one_o image_n be_v so_o devout_o and_o solemn_o adore_v rather_o than_o another_o or_o why_o be_v it_o do_v in_o one_o place_n rather_o than_o in_o another_o or_o why_o do_v so_o many_o pilgrim_n undertake_v such_o long_a and_o tiresome_a journey_n to_o loretto_n and_o other_o oratory_n rather_o than_o to_o other_o for_o the_o worship_v of_o some_o special_a image_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o all_o this_o but_o that_o poor_a people_n be_v teach_v to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o divine_a virtue_n in_o image_n and_o a_o great_a virtue_n in_o some_o image_n in_o some_o place_n than_o there_o be_v in_o other_o i_o know_v this_o discourser_n speak_v just_a as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v for_o it_o be_v there_o define_v that_o there_o be_v no_o divinity_n or_o virtue_n in_o image_n for_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v worship_v etc._n etc._n 2._o but_o then_o i_o ask_v he_o second_o how_o he_o know_v that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n itself_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n or_o that_o their_o mind_n real_o be_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o believe_v any_o virtue_n to_o be_v in_o image_n especial_o if_o they_o be_v consecrate_a i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o their_o definition_n be_v only_o a_o copy_n of_o their_o countenance_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o clamorous_a world._n and_o for_o your_o satisfaction_n i_o will_v refer_v you_o to_o a_o very_a learned_a author_n who_o this_o discourser_n have_v do_v i_o the_o singular_a favour_n to_o call_v my_o good_a friend_n mean_v that_o eminent_a person_n dr._n still_v fleet_n i_o hearty_o thank_v he_o for_o entitle_v i_o to_o the_o

which_o i_o have_v by_o i_o desire_v the_o doctor_n leave_n that_o i_o may_v mention_v he_o under_o the_o character_n of_o my_o good_a friend_n and_o as_o to_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o man_n at_o trent_n in_o this_o particular_a i_o will_v fain_o see_v how_o my_o adversary_n can_v defend_v it_o after_o what_o have_v be_v say_v by_o my_o good_a friend_n touch_v the_o public_a act_n of_o the_o

mean_n of_o those_o virtue_n if_o this_o discourser_n understand_v his_o own_o church_n he_o can_v but_o know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a and_o if_o he_o be_v ingenuous_a he_o can_v deny_v it_o for_o at_o the_o benediction_n of_o a_o new_a cross_n there_o be_v this_o prayer_n in_o the_o pontificale_fw-la and_o he_o may_v find_v it_o transcribe_v and_o translate_v by_o my_o good_a friend_n we_o
