the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o bless_a virgin_n methinks_v he_o shall_v have_v take_v care_n to_o have_v state_v this_o matter_n a_o little_a plain_o for_o if_o he_o can_v reconcile_v the_o

honour_n she_o render_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n may_v in_o some_o sense_n be_v call_v religious_a it_o be_v for_o its_o necessary_a relation_n to_o god_n why_o do_v he_o not_o tell_v we_o plain_o whether_o this_o honour_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n give_v to_o saint_n and_o the_o virgin_n be_v religious_a or_o not_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v call_v religious_a honour_n if_o he_o undertake_v to_o expound_v the_o catholic_n faith_n why_o do_v he_o not_o do_v it_o why_o do_v he_o speak_v so_o cautious_o as_o if_o he_o be_v afraid_a to_o own_o what_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n be_v in_o this_o point_n which_o yet_o be_v a_o very_a material_a one_o and_o very_o necessary_a to_o be_v true_o state_v thus_o i_o can_v understand_v how_o the_o honour_n which_o be_v give_v to_o creature_n may_v have_v relation_n to_o god_n viz._n because_o we_o honour_v they_o for_o god_n sake_n and_o upon_o account_n of_o their_o relation_n to_o he_o but_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o this_o relation_n to_o god_n make_v the_o honour_n of_o creature_n a_o religious_a honour_n for_o though_o we_o honour_v creature_n for_o god_n sake_n yet_o the_o honour_n we_o give_v to_o creature_n must_v be_v suitable_a to_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o therefore_o not_o that_o religious_a honour_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o as_o when_o we_o honour_v a_o man_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o our_o father_n or_o our_o prince_n we_o do_v not_o give_v he_o that_o honour_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o our_o father_n or_o our_o prince_n though_o we_o honour_v he_o for_o their_o sake_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v give_v religious_a honour_n to_o any_o creature_n it_o will_v not_o justify_v she_o in_o give_v religious_a honour_n to_o creature_n that_o she_o honour_v they_o for_o god_n sake_n for_o creature_n be_v creature_n still_o though_o never_o so_o near_o relate_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o capable_a of_o religious_a honour_n so_o that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o this_o explication_n if_o it_o may_v be_v so_o call_v take_v off_o any_o objection_n that_o be_v ever_o make_v against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n about_o the_o object_n of_o religious_a worship_n for_o if_o by_o all_o religious_a worship_n be_v terminate_v on_o god_n he_o mean_v that_o no_o other_o be_v must_v be_v religious_o worship_v but_o only_o god_n then_o this_o be_v a_o invincible_a objection_n against_o that_o religious_a worship_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n give_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o to_o saint_n and_o angel_n if_o he_o mean_v by_o it_o that_o religious_a worship_n may_v be_v give_v to_o other_o being_n beside_o god_n so_o it_o be_v all_o terminate_v in_o god_n than_o all_o the_o other_o objection_n against_o worship_v any_o other_o be_v beside_o god_n be_v in_o full_a force_n still_o notwithstanding_o his_o explication_n their_o relation_n to_o god_n will_v not_o justify_v the_o religious_a worship_n of_o creature_n and_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o the_o worship_n which_o be_v give_v to_o creature_n be_v

say_v to_o each_o of_o these_o 1._o as_o for_o the_o first_o that_o in_o pray_v to_o saint_n they_o do_v not_o give_v they_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v due_a only_a to_o god_n they_o think_v be_v

take_v great_a pain_n to_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o council_n 6._o and_o therefore_o that_o in_o what_o term_n soever_o those_o prayer_n which_o we_o address_v to_o saint_n be_v couch_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o her_o faithful_a reduce_v they_o always_o to_o this_o form_n now_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v this_o matter_n at_o present_a but_o refer_v my_o reader_n to_o the_o answer_n to_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v but_o let_v we_o suppose_v that_o this_o be_v all_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n intend_v by_o it_o that_o we_o shall_v only_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o what_o advantage_n can_v they_o make_v of_o this_o yes_o say_v the_o advertisement_n before_o the_o bishop_n exposition_n p._n 12._o to_o pray_v to_o saint_n only_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o prayer_n which_o by_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v reserve_v by_o a_o independent_a be_v to_o himself_o it_o can_v never_o be_v

more_o please_v with_o and_o will_v more_o gracious_o accept_v our_o worship_n before_o such_o a_o image_n than_o any_o other_o or_o else_o methinks_v the_o devotoe_n of_o the_o virgin_n shall_v not_o

if_o the_o heathen_n do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v dead_a senseless_a image_n which_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o see_v nor_o hear_v but_o that_o they_o be_v real_o animate_v by_o

nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o we_o argue_v not_o from_o their_o private_a esteem_v but_o from_o their_o public_a definition_n and_o if_o a_o general_n decree_n for_o the_o government_n of_o

i_o suppose_v have_v be_v sufficient_o answer_v already_o but_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v a_o very_a pleasant_a argument_n he_o have_v against_o what_o i_o assert_v that_o no_o intention_n can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o action_n which_o be_v determine_v by_o a_o divine_a or_o human_a law_n whereby_o i_o prove_v that_o if_o they_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o account_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n be_v idolatrous_a their_o intention_n not_o to_o commit_v idolatry_n will_v not_o excuse_v they_o this_o he_o say_v p._n 36._o a_o quaker_n may_v as_o reasonable_o make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o justify_v his_o yea_n and_o his_o nay_n and_o his_o other_o point_n of_o quakerism_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o intention_n can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o action_n which_o be_v

guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o will_v our_o protester_n say_v that_o the_o divine_a law_n do_v forbid_v all_o swear_n then_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o quaker_n be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o no_o intention_n will_v justify_v swear_v but_o st._n james_n must_v be_v expound_v so_o as_o to_o reconcile_v his_o word_n with_o other_o passage_n in_o scripture_n which_o allow_v of_o swear_v and_o can_v he_o

which_o be_v our_o present_a case_n here_o he_o conclude_v all_o with_o two_o or_o three_o request_n which_o must_v be_v brief_o consider_v 1._o that_o he_o the_o replier_n will_v use_v his_o interest_n with_o protestant_n 37._o to_o hold_v to_o what_o he_o say_v they_o do_v and_o charge_v we_o with_o nothing_o but_o what_o we_o express_o profess_v to_o believe_v and_o practice_n now_o i_o can_v assure_v he_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o use_v my_o interest_n with_o protestant_n to_o do_v this_o for_o i_o hope_v they_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o to_o be_v honest_a but_o there_o be_v so_o many_o us_n among_o they_o that_o possible_o some_o protestant_n may_v mistake_v one_o we_o for_o another_o they_o practice_n indeed_o general_o much_o alike_o but_o they_o believe_v different_o and_o they_o represent_v different_o and_o they_o expound_v the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o council_n different_o and_o i_o hope_v protestant_n may_v without_o any_o offence_n say_v how_o and_o wherein_o they_o differ_v and_o i_o think_v we_o can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o misrepresent_v while_o we_o relate_v matter_n of_o fact_n true_o what_o their_o practice_n be_v and_o what_o their_o different_a sentiment_n and_o opinion_n be_v about_o these_o matter_n 2._o that_o they_o protestant_n pick_v not_o up_o the_o abuse_n of_o some_o the_o vice_n and_o cruelty_n of_o other_o the_o odd_a opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n and_o hold_v these_o forth_o for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n and_o that_o in_o charge_v any_o practice_n they_o charge_v no_o more_o than_o be_v concern_v now_o this_o be_v very_o reasonable_a if_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o abuse_n as_o be_v not_o allow_v and_o countenance_v by_o the_o church_n and_o of_o such_o cruelty_n as_o be_v not_o practise_v encourage_v commend_v by_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o justify_v by_o the_o decree_n and_o canon_n of_o pope_n and_o council_n or_o of_o such_o odd_a opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n as_o steal_v into_o the_o world_n without_o public_a authority_n and_o be_v censure_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v know_v but_o as_o far_o as_o the_o church_n give_v any_o countenance_n and_o authority_n to_o such_o abuse_n cruelty_n odd_a opinion_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o protestant_n may_v not_o complain_v of_o
church_n destroy_v justice_n towards_o man_n in_o all_o relation_n as_o the_o pope_n power_n of_o dispense_n with_o the_o duty_n of_o all_o relation_n their_o doctrine_n of_o probability_n of_o mental_a reservation_n that_o the_o intention_n regulate_v the_o action_n that_o no_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n that_o the_o pope_n may_v depose_v prince_n and_o dispose_v of_o their_o kingdom_n pardon_n nay_o canonize_v king-killer_n and_o absolve_v subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n etc._n etc._n i_o know_v our_o author_n call_v all_o this_o misrepresentation_n but_o that_o be_v not_o our_o dispute_n now_o but_o who_o misrepresentation_n it_o be_v it_o be_v plain_a this_o be_v not_o protestant_a but_o popish_a popery_n for_o not_o protestant_n but_o papist_n be_v the_o original_a author_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v it_o worth_a the_o while_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o gross_a misrepresentation_n which_o this_o author_n charge_v on_o protestant_n be_v only_o transcribe_v out_o of_o popish_a author_n and_o this_o he_o seem_v to_o own_o when_o he_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o we_o for_o prove_v these_o misrepresentation_n as_o he_o call_v they_o by_o appeal_n to_o their_o own_o private_a but_o approve_v doctor_n who_o have_v in_o plain_a term_n assert_v those_o thing_n which_o poor_a protestant_n must_v not_o repeat_v after_o they_o without_o incur_v the_o censure_n of_o misrepresenter_n now_o though_o we_o grant_v that_o every_o doctrine_n which_o we_o find_v in_o popish_a author_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v account_v a_o article_n of_o the_o romish_a faith_n yet_o if_o such_o book_n be_v publish_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o superior_n and_o when_o they_o be_v publish_v and_o know_v in_o the_o world_n escape_v the_o

consistent_a with_o the_o romish_a faith_n not_o a_o misrepresentation_n of_o it_o for_o will_v a_o church_n so_o strict_a and_o severe_a in_o its_o discipline_n and_o so_o jealous_a of_o heresy_n which_o censure_v all_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o expunge_n out_o of_o their_o write_n every_o passage_n which_o in_o the_o least_o savour_v of_o heresy_n which_o will_v not_o entrust_v the_o people_n to_o use_v the_o bible_n for_o fear_n of_o their_o learning_n heresy_n from_o it_o i_o say_v will_v such_o a_o church_n suffer_v their_o own_o doctor_n to_o publish_v such_o opinion_n to_o the_o world_n as_o misrepresent_v she_o own_o faith_n and_o worship_n without_o condemn_v or_o pass_v the_o least_o censure_n on_o they_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o can_v prove_v from_o these_o private_a doctor_n what_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v and_o what_o all_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v who_o be_v of_o that_o communion_n yet_o by_o their_o authority_n we_o may_v

no_o doctrine_n but_o what_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o that_o church_n as_o all_o those_o doctrine_n be_v which_o be_v allow_v by_o public_a authority_n to_o be_v print_v and_o read_v in_o

must_v not_o indeed_o charge_v all_o papist_n with_o believe_v such_o doctrine_n because_o all_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v they_o as_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o decree_n and_o definition_n of_o their_o council_n but_o we_o may_v say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n because_o all_o papist_n be_v allow_v to_o believe_v they_o who_o will_v for_o i_o presume_v all_o man_n be_v allow_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o any_o man_n among_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o teach_v however_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v some_o excuse_n to_o the_o

themselves_o say_v and_o resolve_v all_o into_o the_o credit_n and_o authority_n of_o his_o author_n and_o i_o can_v think_v it_o a_o great_a fault_n in_o a_o protestant_n to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o such_o pernicious_a doctrine_n and_o opinion_n as_o be_v own_v by_o some_o of_o their_o own_o writer_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v publish_v

transcribe_v out_o of_o they_o do_v not_o concern_v represent_v but_o dispute_v and_o i_o never_o undertake_v to_o justify_v every_o say_n in_o protestant_a writer_n against_o popery_n but_o yet_o
