so_o out_o of_o the_o way_n in_o the_o whole_a that_o i_o can_v set_v he_o right_n for_o he_o mistake_v all_o and_o make_v no_o sense_n of_o my_o say_n of_o this_o point_n and_o corrupt_v what_o he_o

write_v upon_o his_o five_o number_n become_v capable_a of_o speak_v and_o hear_v fence_n in_o this_o matter_n third_z division_n contain_v a_o answer_n to_o his_o eighteen_o chapter_n bellarmin_n error_n advantageous_a to_o heretic_n the_o argument_n in_o the_o middle-state_n from_o scripture_n maintain_v to_o be_v solid_a and_o the_o adversary_n misinterpretation_n show_v weak_a and_o

be_v no_o persuasion_n of_o the_o church_n but_o only_o a_o popular_a error_n which_o i_o forsake_v yet_o will_v i_o not_o insist_v upon_o that_o not_o to_o make_v needless_a repetition_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v he_o he_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o see_v clear_a demonstration_n for_o that_o belong_v to_o they_o that_o have_v scientifical_a eye_n and_o not_o to_o they_o who_o learn_v only_o to_o babble_n of_o what_o they_o understand_v not_o a_o demonstratour_n must_v begin_v from_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o philosophy_n and_o drive_v they_o on_o to_o his_o conclusion_n not_o take_v up_o his_o opinion_n upon_o reason_n that_o fall_v into_o his_o mouth_n out_o of_o the_o ayr._n what_o he_o take_v out_o of_o faith_n he_o must_v not_o be_v only_o able_a to_o say_v the_o word_n or_o cite_v they_o out_o of_o some_o good_a book_n but_o he_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o understand_v they_o well_o and_o see_v that_o his_o explication_n contradict_v neither_o divinity_n nor_o any_o other_o science_n and_o of_o these_o two_o course_n neither_o he_o nor_o his_o master_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v be_v ever_o guilty_a they_o take_v text_n and_o urge_v the_o letter_n without_o ever_o penetrate_v the_o sense_n and_o forego_v all_o principle_n they_o fly_v at_o every_o question_n with_o fantastic_a flash_n like_o hawk_n at_o their_o prey_n where_o ever_o they_o spy_v it_o 2._o his_o second_o warning_n be_v that_o my_o argument_n be_v the_o outcast_n and_o refuse_v of_o their_o author_n and_o i_o be_o far_o from_o deny_v it_o for_o indiscreet_a people_n be_v as_o subject_a to_o

hunt_v after_o vanity_n and_o the_o please_a of_o the_o unlearned_a mustitude_v and_o so_o be_v fit_a to_o make_v a_o show_n in_o discourse_n until_o the_o weak_a sort_n be_v beyond_o their_o

we_o never_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o answer_n so_o full_o make_v to_o the_o objection_n we_o take_v out_o of_o his_o author_n i_o will_v not_o return_v this_o upon_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o how_o many_o answer_n he_o have_v read_v in_o religion_n and_o reason_n and_o my_o other_o write_n which_o he_o have_v read_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o impugn_n of_o the_o doctrine_n yet_o will_v not_o cite_v that_o he_o may_v say_v he_o know_v not_o of_o those_o solution_n which_o he_o impugn_v not_o but_o i_o will_v only_o say_v let_v this_o encounter_n betwixt_o he_o and_o i_o bear_v testimony_n how_o full_o and_o solid_o the_o answer_n be_v make_v 3._o he_o begin_v his_o plea_n with_o tell_v his_o reader_n that_o i_o borrow_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a objection_n from_o that_o infamous_a heretic_n ochinus_n how_o do_v he_o know_v this_o bellarmin_n say_v ochinus_n use_v this_o argument_n what_o then_o therefore_o i_o find_v it_o either_o in_o bellarmin_n or_o ochinus_n how_o prove_v he_o that_o the_o spirit_n with_o which_o he_o write_v tell_v he_o so_o and_o my_o spirit_n tell_v i_o that_o the_o spirit_n which_o tell_v he_o so_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o calumny_n for_o when_o i_o write_v my_o book_n i_o have_v neither_o bellarmin_n nor_o ochinus_n nor_o do_v i_o ever_o study_n bellarmin_n so_o much_o as_o to_o remember_v such_o particularity_n out_o of_o he_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a if_o i_o have_v take_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o bellarmin_n to_o acknowledge_v it_o for_o i_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o best_a dictionary_n of_o controversy_n i_o have_v see_v but_o a_o man_n must_v beware_v how_o he_o trust_v either_o his_o argument_n or_o solution_n yet_o he_o be_v very_o good_a to_o suggest_v to_o a_o man_n occasion_n and_o matter_n that_o may_v be_v well_o use_v neither_o shall_v i_o be_v ashamed_a to_o use_v any_o argument_n i_o have_v find_v in_o ochinus_n or_o any_o other_o heretic_n so_o the_o argument_n be_v solid_a to_o my_o purpose_n and_o it_o be_v the_o prognostic_n of_o cozenage_n in_o the_o carriage_n of_o the_o cause_n to_o make_v such_o exception_n a_o argument_n be_v good_a and_o bad_a by_o itself_o not_o by_o his_o author_n and_o aristotle_n use_v to_o find_v the_o middle_a truth_n by_o compare_v the_o falsity_n extre●mly_o opposite_a and_o so_o if_o i_o by_o compare_v ochinus_n and_o your_o divine_a shall_v find_v the_o truth_n to_o lie_v in_o the_o middle_n i_o shall_v think_v my_o action_n deserve_v honour_n and_o to_o be_v profitable_a to_o the_o church_n let_v we_o then_o look_v into_o the_o argument_n itself_o ochinus_n to_o prove_v there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n argue_v if_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n than_o soul_n be_v deliver_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n by_o prayer_n but_o that_o be_v false_a by_o the_o text_n allege_v etc._n etc._n now_o bellarmin_n if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o solid_a answerer_n will_v have_v deny_v his_o first_o proposition_n and_o tell_v he_o whether_o prayer_n deliver_v they_o before_o or_o not_o yet_o purgatory_n remain_v safe_a and_o ochinus_n choke_v that_o he_o can_v not_o have_v open_v his_o mouth_n and_o this_o answer_n i_o have_v find_v print_v at_o rome_n against_o the_o greek_a heretic_n 4._o this_o error_n produce_v a_o great_a to_o wit_n that_o their_o great_a bellarmin_n be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o they_o lie_v or_o in_o the_o plain_a sense_n be_v false_a and_o so_o he_o fair_o betray_v the_o catholic_n position_n of_o purgatory_n to_o set_v up_o his_o own_o fancy_n for_o his_o solution_n say_v that_o these_o word_n if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n signify_v '_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o immortal_a which_o be_v so_o different_a meaning_n that_o by_o many_o philosopher_n the_o one_o be_v confess_v and_o the_o other_o deny_v so_o that_o the_o two_o proposition_n be_v neither_o the_o same_o nor_o such_o as_o that_o their_o connexion_n be_v plain_o see_v therefore_o to_o make_v this_o good_a he_o feign_v a_o three_o either_o falsity_n or_o at_o least_o not_o prove_v nor_o very_o probable_a which_o be_v that_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o macchabee_n write_v after_o jonathas_n his_o time_n when_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o firm_a peace_n the_o jew_n fall_v to_o dispute_v about_o their_o law_n and_o so_o into_o great_a division_n and_o sect_n whereas_o by_o probability_n this_o book_n be_v write_v in_o judas_n his_o time_n for_o it_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o his_o death_n which_o it_o have_v be_v a_o fault_n to_o leave_v out_o if_o it_o have_v pass_v before_o the_o book_n be_v write_v which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a these_o word_n must_v not_o be_v speak_v against_o any_o infection_n of_o sadducee_n but_o of_o greek_n who_o have_v long_o domineer_v over_o jury_n special_o in_o antiochus_n his_o time_n 5._o his_o four_o error_n be_v that_o he_o make_v our_o saviour_n also_o make_v a_o false_a argument_n and_o to_o conclude_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o to_o make_v this_o consequence_n abraham_n and_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n foul_n be_v alive_a therefore_o abraham_n and_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n body_n shall_v rise_v again_o the_o which_o will_v not_o have_v silence_v the_o sadducee_n but_o rather_o have_v make_v they_o contemn_v our_o

the_o one_o that_o he_o telis_fw-la the_o story_n to_o have_v pass_v in_o cyprus_n whereas_o st._n john_n live_v in_o alexandria_n second_o that_o whereas_o other_o story_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n

hold_v relief_n in_o hell_n three_o these_o word_n when_o good_a work_n etc._n etc._n be_v equivocal_a and_o may_v be_v as_o well_o interpret_v that_o good_a work_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o relief_n as_o they_o do_v the_o time_n unless_o other_o word_n force_v they_o to_o be_v take_v emphatical_o which_o do_v not_o appear_v here_o st._n ephrem_n be_v also_o cite_v but_o not_o in_o what_o work_n
