nec_fw-la religio_fw-la nec_fw-la patria_fw-la nec_fw-la natura_fw-la esse_fw-la voluit_fw-la wherefore_o i_o shall_v only_o let_v all_o papist_n see_v that_o by_o the_o very_a tenor_n of_o their_o religion_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o damnable_a opinion_n as_o leave_v nothing_o no_o prince_n inviolable_a when_o popery_n come_v in_o competition_n i_o know_v it_o be_v needless_a to_o run_v to_o the_o practice_n and_o bull_n of_o their_o pope_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o great_a doctor_n to_o the_o book_n of_o their_o cannon_n law_n or_o even_o to_o the_o decision_n of_o their_o council_n for_o prove_v this_o for_o a_o courtly_a sort_n of_o papist_n set_v up_o in_o france_n and_o britain_n within_o some_o year_n ago_o have_v make_v it_o their_o great_a business_n to_o contradict_v these_o with_o a_o downright_a impudence_n as_o manifest_o as_o they_o use_v to_o do_v sense_n and_o reason_n in_o the_o point_n of_o transubstantiation_n have_v there_o be_v no_o more_o write_v against_o they_o than_o what_o the_o bishop_n of_o lincoln_n have_v do_v one_o will_v think_v that_o either_o such_o principle_n must_v be_v reject_v by_o they_o or_o else_o popery_n itself_o but_o some_o people_n know_v how_o to_o be_v proof_n against_o all_o manner_n of_o evidence_n peter_n welch_n have_v indeed_o write_v well_o against_o that_o doctrine_n though_o not_o against_o that_o bishop_n he_o have_v clear_o make_v it_o to_o appear_v that_o by_o universal_a tradition_n nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v by_o christian_n that_o savour_v in_o the_o least_o of_o such_o a_o treasonable_a tendency_n as_o mr._n allix_n have_v demonstrate_v that_o transubstantiation_n be_v not_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o the_o great_a thing_n i_o admire_v in_o the_o man_n next_o to_o his_o ingenuous_a follow_v the_o truth_n in_o itself_o be_v that_o he_o never_o understand_v he_o be_v pursue_v a_o protestant_a

by_o the_o same_o method_n he_o have_v take_v in_o this_o affair_n and_o when_o he_o have_v for_o upward_o of_o sixteen_o year_n be_v excommunicate_v by_o the_o pope_n for_o such_o prank_n we_o may_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o man_n of_o any_o other_o religion_n rather_o than_o the_o popish_a even_o when_o he_o stretch_v himself_o most_o to_o vindicat_fw-la it_o from_o the_o most_o absurd_a and_o most_o gross_a of_o its_o error_n as_o you_o shall_v just_o now_o see_v by_o what_o i_o be_o to_o say_v it_o be_v then_o a_o short_a course_n i_o be_o to_o take_v with_o they_o be_v to_o argument_n ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la and_o so_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o lay_v down_o this_o general_a principle_n of_o they_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n out_o of_o the_o visible_a communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o need_v not_o offer_v to_o prove_v that_o they_o own_o this_o for_o if_o they_o deny_v it_o mr._n nicol_n may_v put_v up_o his_o pen_n and_o i_o will_v ask_v no_o more_o for_o overturning_a st._n peter_n pretend_a chair_n but_o none_o can_v be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o these_o who_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n because_o according_a to_o the_o papist_n the_o pope_n be_v the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o the_o centre_n of_o catholic_n unity_n hence_o the_o common_a definition_n that_o their_o divine_n give_v of_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v that_o she_o be_v a_o society_n of_o man_n join_v together_o by_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o same_o sacrament_n under_o the_o government_n of_o their_o lawful_a pastor_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o roman_a pontife_n christ_n only_a vicar_n upon_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v whole_o unaccountable_a how_o the_o pope_n can_v be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o one_o may_v not_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o and_o nevertheless_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o body_n and_o not_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o head_n of_o that_o body_n which_o be_v so_o indispensable_o its_o head_n as_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v a_o body_n unless_o it_o have_v that_o head._n i_o love_v not_o always_o to_o reproach_v the_o papist_n with_o transubstantiation_n but_o bate_v that_o i_o know_v few_o contradiction_n they_o can_v be_v more_o coarse_o guilty_a of_o than_o they_o will_v be_v shall_v they_o attempt_v to_o defend_v that_o one_o may_v be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o yet_o not_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o her_o head_n the_o pope_n but_o further_a all_o papist_n must_v either_o understand_v by_o that_o govern_n power_n which_o they_o say_v be_v inherent_a in_o the_o pope_n as_o he_o be_v pope_n as_o immediate_a a_o jurisdiction_n over_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n and_o all_o its_o member_n as_o any_o particular_a bishop_n have_v over_o his_o own_o diocese_n or_o else_o they_o must_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v no_o more_o but_o only_o a_o certain_a patriarch_n at_o best_a and_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v any_o papist_n state_n i_o any_o middle_a power_n of_o primacy_n and_o head-ship_n betwixt_o such_o a_o jurisdiction_n and_o such_o a_o patriarchal_a priority_n they_o must_v speak_v sense_n close_o to_o the_o point_n and_o not_o mere_a word_n but_o why_o be_o i_o plead_v only_o for_o a_o equal_a jurisdiction_n in_o the_o pope_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o that_o which_o private_a bishop_n have_v over_o their_o respective_a flock_n for_o that_o of_o primacy_n must_v go_v much_o high_a and_o if_o his_o holiness_n be_v a_o holiness_n at_o all_o he_o have_v commit_v to_o he_o the_o superintendency_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n not_o only_o in_o as_o immediate_a a_o manner_n as_o any_o other_o bishop_n have_v of_o that_o special_a portion_n of_o christian_n which_o be_v allot_v to_o his_o care_n but_o also_o with_o a_o more_o authoritative_a force_n suitable_a unto_o such_o a_o transcendent_a elevation_n as_o be_v the_o papacy_n because_o not_o to_o speak_v yet_o of_o any_o infallibility_n reside_v in_o he_o when_o he_o act_v under_o the_o full_a extent_n of_o his_o character_n he_o who_o can_v immediate_o command_v both_o those_o who_o another_o command_n and_o that_o other_o too_o who_o command_v they_o can_v much_o more_o powerful_o by_o himself_o immediate_o command_v they_o than_o can_v he_o who_o be_v also_o subject_a to_o be_v command_v by_o he_o as_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o chief_a stewart_n be_v much_o more_o prevalent_a than_o be_v that_o of_o those_o inferior_a one_o who_o though_o constitute_v also_o by_o the_o master_n of_o all_o be_v yet_o accountable_a to_o that_o grand_a fellow-servant_n and_o all_o this_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o pope_n assume_v a_o power_n to_o hear_v and_o judge_v all_o cause_n original_o and_o his_o reserve_v many_o case_n to_o himself_o which_o the_o ordinary_a dare_v not_o meddle_v with_o now_o it_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n that_o any_o ptivate_v bishop_n may_v in_o virtue_n of_o that_o power_n he_o have_v over_o his_o diocese_n not_o only_o inflict_v censure_n upon_o the_o person_n of_o those_o who_o broach_n or_o maintain_v thing_n prejudicial_a to_o the_o faith_n but_o also_o condemn_v or_o approve_v proposition_n as_o contrary_a to_o or_o consistent_a with_o it_o and_o annex_v anathema_n to_o those_o definition_n so_o that_o thereby_o they_o become_v term_n of_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o know_a practice_n of_o the_o bishop_n throughout_o all_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o whoever_o conform_v not_o to_o their_o definition_n be_v actual_o exclude_v communion_n with_o they_o and_o be_v no_o more_o member_n of_o that_o body_n namely_o their_o diocesian_a church_n of_o which_o they_o be_v the_o head._n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o infer_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v and_o do_v deal_v so_o as_o to_o the_o whole_a roman_a church_n and_o that_o those_o who_o do_v not_o submit_v to_o his_o definition_n be_v consequent_o exterminate_v that_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o which_o be_v as_o essential_o necessary_a to_o the_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n as_o visible_a communion_n with_o a_o inferior_a bishop_n be_v to_o the_o be_v a_o member_n of_o his_o particular_a church_n and_o this_o be_v very_o palpable_a in_o the_o fate_n of_o the_o jansenist_n who_o be_v force_v either_o to_o renounce_v and_o abjure_v those_o proposition_n which_o the_o pope_n have_v condemn_v or_o else_o to_o suffer_v
the_o infamy_n and_o other_o punishment_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n use_v to_o pour_v out_o upon_o all_o those_o she_o call_v heretic_n hence_o the_o pope_n faith_n must_v either_o be_v the_o chief_a standard_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o that_o whole_a church_n or_o else_o contrary_a to_o what_o i_o have_v now_o so_o irrefragable_o prove_v one_o may_v be_v formal_o a_o papist_n or_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o yet_o not_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n because_o if_o what_o the_o pope_n have_v define_v may_v be_v reject_v and_o laugh_v at_o without_o break_v visible_a communion_n with_o that_o church_n one_o may_v be_v out_o of_o visible_a communion_n with_o her_o head_n and_o notwithstanding_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o herself_o and_o that_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n and_o not_o a_o member_n of_o she_o since_o according_a to_o the_o power_n all_o papist_n contend_v be_v in_o the_o pope_n it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o she_o to_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o or_o god_n will_v require_v a_o condition_n of_o be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o that_o church_n which_o that_o one_o may_v be_v so_o he_o be_v oblige_v not_o to_o perform_v to_o wit_n in_o case_n the_o pope_n shall_v define_v contrary_a to_o the_o true_a faith_n which_o undoubted_o he_o can_v do_v if_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a since_o even_o then_o one_o be_v oblige_v to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n but_o he_o can_v not_o be_v that_o unless_o he_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n but_o now_o he_o can_v not_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n and_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n too_o because_o if_o he_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n of_o necessity_n he_o must_v outward_o profess_v a_o doctrine_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o so_o with_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o consequent_o contradictory_n obligation_n be_v exact_v of_o all_o christian_n if_o the_o pope_n can_v be_v fallible_a in_o his_o definition_n and_o if_o a_o necessity_n of_o conform_v to_o they_o be_v requisite_a for_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o and_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o be_v essential_o necessary_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n all_o papist_n therefore_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o either_o the_o pope_n definition_n be_v universal_o to_o be_v acquiesce_v in_o or_o that_o the_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o be_v no_o essential_a constituent_n of_o be_v a_o member_n of_o their_o church_n and_o if_o they_o can_v deny_v the_o latter_a as_o certain_o they_o can_v then_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o his_o authority_n be_v infallible_a in_o decide_v any_o thing_n he_o shall_v take_v under_o his_o cognizance_n and_o that_o all_o his_o thunder_n be_v the_o thunder_n of_o heaven_n indeed_o it_o be_v therefore_o undeniable_a that_o every_o papist_n be_v bind_v by_o his_o principle_n to_o be_v of_o the_o pope_n faith_n and_o to_o pin_n his_o salvation_n upon_o his_o holiness_n sleeve_n neither_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v object_v to_o the_o least_o sentence_n of_o all_o this_o unless_o it_o be_v that_o since_o private_a bishop_n be_v not_o infallible_a though_o they_o excommunicate_v with_o a_o anathema_n so_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v both_o fallible_a and_o yet_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v with_o such_o a_o heavy_a curse_n too_o but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a disparity_n between_o the_o case_n of_o private_a bishop_n and_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n for_o however_o much_o they_o may_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n there_o be_v always_o redress_v and_o place_n for_o a_o appeal_n and_o before_o one_o or_o his_o doctrine_n be_v condemn_v by_o the_o supreme_a judge_n though_o that_o private_a communion_n be_v break_v yet_o the_o catholic_n will_v be_v entire_a and_o god_n have_v not_o absolute_o require_v the_o one_o as_o he_o have_v do_v the_o other_o so_o that_o the_o argument_n i_o have_v here_o adduce_v depend_v upon_o no_o more_o from_o the_o case_n of_o private_a bishop_n than_o this_o that_o as_o they_o can_v condemn_v proposition_n and_o therefore_o all_o those_o in_o their_o diocese_n who_o do_v not_o embrace_v their_o condemnation_n become_v formal_o thereby_o to_o be_v exclude_v visible_a communion_n with_o they_o so_o it_o fare_v betwixt_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o general_n and_o i_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o as_o therefore_o those_o bishop_n ought_v to_o be_v infallible_a the_o pope_n be_v so_o too_o for_o the_o consequence_n of_o that_o antecedent_n from_o which_o this_o last_o consequent_a be_v bring_v be_v altogether_o false_a but_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n be_v deduce_v as_o a_o result_n from_o these_o three_o the_o first_o that_o as_o private_a bishop_n can_v exclude_v from_o communion_n with_o they_o those_o of_o their_o diocese_n who_o submit_v not_o to_o their_o definition_n so_o the_o pope_n can_v do_v those_o of_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o second_o that_o it_o be_v essential_o requisite_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n to_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o three_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o have_v of_o the_o true_a faith_n to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n now_o it_o not_o be_v so_o requisite_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o so_o for_o have_v the_o true_a faith_n to_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o any_o private_a bishop_n the_o pope_n infallibility_n can_v never_o be_v deny_v because_o no_o private_a bishop_n pretend_v to_o it_o whatever_o power_n of_o make_v definition_n he_o be_v invest_v with_o since_o thus_o one_o part_n of_o my_o argument_n be_v only_o consider_v without_o reflect_v upon_o the_o rest_n and_o here_o i_o defy_v the_o whole_a papist_n in_o world_n to_o give_v i_o any_o solid_a answer_n to_o it_o what_o else_o then_o remain_v for_o demonstrate_v that_o all_o papist_n either_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n whereby_o it_o be_v hold_v lawful_a for_o the_o pope_n to_o excommunicate_v all_o those_o prince_n he_o shall_v reckon_v for_o heretic_n and_o to_o loose_v their_o subject_n oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o they_o but_o only_o to_o make_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o contrary_a tenet_n be_v erroneous_a and_o heretical_a and_o rob_v he_o of_o that_o power_n he_o as_o christ_n vicar_n have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o now_o what_o pope_n have_v do_v and_o what_o style_n they_o have_v use_v in_o their_o bull_n towards_o prince_n since_o pope_n hildebrand_n time_n all_o the_o world_n know_v as_o also_o how_o cardinal_n

can_v be_v account_v to_o be_v such_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o appeal_v to_o all_o those_o witness_n by_o which_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n of_o this_o can_v be_v attest_v i_o myself_o indeed_o
