his_o method_n and_o representation_n without_o digresson_n or_o provoke_a reflection_n ii_o but_o i_o must_v declare_v myself_o very_o much_o unsatisfied_a with_o the_o method_n he_o have_v take_v to_o clear_v his_o party_n from_o these_o misrepresentation_n for_o 1._o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o draw_v a_o double_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o in_o the_o one_o he_o pretend_v to_o

a_o bad_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o change_n 3._o the_o account_n he_o give_v of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o his_o character_n afford_v as_o little_a satisfaction_n for_o although_o in_o the_o general_n it_o be_v well_o that_o he_o pretend_v to_o keep_v to_o a_o rule_n yet_o 1_o he_o show_v no_o authority_n he_o have_v to_o interpret_v that_o rule_n in_o his_o own_o sense_n now_o several_a of_o his_o representation_n depend_v upon_o his_o own_o private_a sense_n and_o opinion_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o many_o other_o as_o zealous_a for_o their_o church_n as_o himself_o and_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o his_o representation_n rather_o than_o to_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n he_o say_v the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n be_v no_o matter_n of_o

against_o the_o declaration_n of_o pope_n and_o council_n but_o suppose_v the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o rule_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n what_o authority_n have_v he_o to_o declare_v it_o when_o tridentini_n the_o pope_n have_v express_o forbid_v all_o prelate_n to_o do_v it_o and_o reserve_v it_o to_o the_o apostolical_a sea_n 2._o he_o leave_v out_o in_o the_o several_a particular_n a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n which_o be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n there_o define_v to_o be_v true_a but_o to_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o this_o in_o his_o representation_n of_o the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n but_o the_o whole_a be_v manage_v as_o though_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o difference_n about_o some_o particular_a opinion_n whereas_o in_o truth_n the_o necessity_n of_o hold_v those_o doctrine_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n be_v the_o main_a point_n in_o difference_n if_o man_n have_v no_o mind_n to_o believe_v their_o own_o sense_n we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o help_v it_o but_o we_o think_v it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v tell_v we_o can_v be_v save_v unless_o we_o renounce_v they_o too_o and_o this_o now_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o case_n since_o pius_n the_o four_o draw_v up_o and_o publish_v a_o confession_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o the_o decree_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n wherein_o man_n be_v not_o only_o require_v to_o

of_o it_o he_o must_v declare_v that_o he_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v and_o this_o be_v as_o much_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o the_o

the_o church_n and_o if_o pope_n and_o council_n may_v err_v in_o teach_v this_o doctrine_n why_o not_o in_o any_o other_o i_o know_v there_o be_v some_o that_o say_v universal_a tradition_n be_v

make_v common_a opinion_n to_o become_v article_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o inquire_v in_o this_o case_n since_o the_o church_n pretend_v to_o no_o new_a

we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o receive_v it_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o impossibility_n of_o innovation_n come_v in_o without_o notorious_a opposition_n i_o see_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o it_o where_o the_o alteration_n be_v not_o make_v at_o once_o but_o proceed_v gradual_o he_o may_v as_o well_o prove_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o fall_v into_o a_o dropsy_n or_o a_o hectick-fever_n
