predestinate_a and_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o this_o persuasion_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n without_o any_o regard_n to_o his_o work_n and_o life_n of_o which_o sense_n see_v there_o be_v no_o revelation_n there_o can_v be_v no_o rely_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o any_o such_o effect_n and_o so_o it_o be_v clear_a these_o people_n have_v nothing_o like_o faith_n the_o former_a protestant_n have_v at_o least_o the_o carcase_n but_o renounce_v the_o soul_n life_n and_o be_v of_o it_o a_o bundle_n of_o divers_a shuffle_v if_o we_o shall_v as_o thus_o pass_v over_o all_o the_o point_n controvert_v between_o catholic_n and_o all_o that_o have_v separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o catholic_n church_n we_o shall_v find_v very_o few_o free_o dispute_v but_o that_o either_o they_o calonniate_v the_o catholic_n position_n or_o counterfeit_v it_o as_o concerning_o image_n and_o saint_n they_o pretend_v we_o worship_v they_o as_o god_n as_o for_o marriage_n they_o report_v we_o disallow_v it_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n they_o say_v we_o rely_v not_o upon_o they_o because_o we_o understand_v they_o otherwise_o then_o they_o do_v for_o the_o catholic_n church_n understand_v that_o christ_n by_o his_o life_n and_o passion_n procure_v the_o establishment_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n over_o the_o whole_a earth_n a_o settle_a mean_n to_o continue_v and_o increase_v what_o he_o by_o himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n begin_v a_o seed_n and_o root_n of_o good_a life_n plant_v by_o the_o send_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n for_o ever_o a_o government_n of_o bishop_n and_o doctor_n for_o ever_o sacrament_n to_o be_v universal_o administer_v extraordinary_a example_n of_o heroic_a virtue_n in_o martyr_n confessor_n monk_n and_o nun_n and_o in_o a_o word_n all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o bring_v the_o universality_n of_o mankind_n to_o heavenly_a bliss_n and_o these_o mean_n to_o be_v derive_v to_o single_a person_n according_a to_o god_n all_o good_a providence_n and_o the_o connatural_a suit_n of_o cause_n the_o protestant_a understand_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o private_a prayer_n speak_v to_o his_o father_n in_o particular_a for_o every_o one_o of_o the_o predestinate_a to_o save_v he_o for_o he_o and_o his_o passion_n sake_n and_o so_o infer_v that_o the_o belief_n that_o he_o be_v one_o of_o those_o for_o who_o christ_n special_o pray_v be_v that_o which_o must_v apply_v the_o grace_n grant_v by_o christ_n eternal_a father_n to_o his_o soul_n and_o think_v the_o catholic_n rely_v not_o upon_o christ_n merit_n because_o he_o do_v it_o not_o so_o silly_o as_o he_o do_v in_o penance_n the_o catholic_n hold_v it_o a_o sacrament_n in_o form_n of_o a_o judgement_n in_o which_o the_o penitent_a be_v absolve_v or_o condemn_v according_a to_o his_o desert_n the_o protestant_a hold_v only_a as_o it_o be_v a_o compliment_n of_o one_o acknowledge_v himself_o a_o sinner_n and_o ask_n of_o mercy_n and_o that_o the_o preacher_n without_o far_a ceremony_n absolve_v he_o those_o who_o believe_v not_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o
