book_n be_v write_v into_o a_o way_n of_o judge_v what_o popery_n indeed_o be_v and_o whether_o we_o have_v right_o condemn_v it_o or_o no_o if_o they_o be_v not_o already_o satisfy_v in_o these_o thing_n especial_o because_o all_o be_v do_v with_o that_o plainness_n and_o perspicuity_n that_o if_o the_o discourse_n be_v in_o any_o particular_a great_o defective_a it_o can_v not_o but_o be_v obvious_a to_o a_o adversary_n that_o be_v it_o seem_v think_v a_o fit_a person_n by_o his_o superior_n to_o represent_v popery_n to_o this_o kingdom_n and_o to_o defend_v it_o against_o this_o church_n the_o first_o reply_n of_o the_o representer_n to_o this_o answer_n the_o representer_n publish_v a_o reply_n under_o the_o title_n of_o reflection_n upon_o it_o now_o do_v he_o in_o these_o reflection_n undertake_v to_o show_v from_o point_n to_o point_v that_o the_o answerer_n have_v without_o cause_n correct_v either_o the_o misrepresent_v or_o the_o represent_v side_n where_o he_o undertake_v to_o correct_v they_o do_v he_o as_o the_o answerer_n have_v do_v before_o he_o take_v the_o question_n in_o their_o order_n to_o examine_v how_o they_o be_v state_v and_o where_o need_n be_v do_v he_o pretend_v to_o state_n they_o better_o nay_o do_v he_o bear_v up_o fair_o to_o any_o one_o point_n of_o representation_n that_o his_o adversary_n think_v fit_a to_o alter_v and_o try_v by_o the_o force_n of_o his_o learning_n to_o reduce_v it_o to_o what_o it_o be_v when_o he_o leave_v it_o no_o true_o his_o mind_n do_v not_o serve_v he_o for_o state_v of_o question_n but_o do_v he_o not_o stand_v up_o in_o defence_n of_o his_o anathema_n which_o his_o answerer_n charge_v not_o without_o give_v reason_n for_o it_o with_o art_n and_o sophistry_n no_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o offer_v at_o it_o what_o then_o be_v the_o business_n of_o his_o reflection_n do_v they_o turn_v upon_o our_o reason_n against_o popery_n as_o represent_v by_o the_o representer_n no_o sure_o nor_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v forward_o to_o answer_v our_o argument_n that_o have_v no_o fancy_n to_o defend_v his_o own_o what_o do_v he_o not_o betake_v himself_o to_o make_v good_a his_o own_o particular_a argument_n in_o behalf_n of_o popery_n against_o his_o adversary_n answer_n nothing_o less_o i_o assure_v you_o he_o do_v not_o take_v care_n so_o much_o as_o of_o one_o argument_n belong_v to_o any_o one_o point_n but_o fair_o leave_v they_o all_o to_o take_v their_o fortune_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o bring_v argument_n but_o he_o must_v be_v trouble_v to_o defend_v they_o well_o from_o this_o time_n forward_o the_o representer_n business_n be_v not_o to_o dispute_v but_o to_o represent_v but_o be_v it_o so_o from_o the_o beginning_n the_o representer_n indeed_o have_v ever_o since_o so_o vehement_o disclaim_v dispute_v that_o perhaps_o he_o only_o represent_v at_o first_o let_v we_o therefore_o try_v that_o a_o little_a be_v there_o not_o three_o argument_n for_o veneration_n of_o image_n and_o for_o pray_v to_o saint_n be_v not_o moses_n job_n stephen_n the_o roman_n the_o corinthian_n the_o ephesian_n and_o almost_o every_o sick_a person_n that_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o congregation_n engage_v one_o way_n or_o other_o do_v he_o not_o argue_v for_o transubstantiation_n from_o our_o saviour_n word_n from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n from_o the_o incompetency_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o judge_n in_o this_o no_o less_o than_o in_o some_o other_o case_n i_o think_v this_o be_v dispute_v there_o be_v three_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o justify_v the_o restrain_v of_o christian_a people_n from_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o vanish_v out_o of_o the_o book_n there_o be_v about_o seven_o reason_n for_o communion_n in_o one_o kind_a the_o 12_o chapter_n of_o the_o 2d_o book_n of_o maccab._n be_v once_o think_v one_o good_a authority_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatoy_n and_o st._n matth._n 12.32_o another_o and_o a_o little_a pretence_n of_o antiquity_n there_o be_v beside_o and_o three_o or_o four_o more_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o in_o this_o strain_n the_o book_n go_v all_o along_o now_o this_o i_o say_v those_o argument_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o answerer_n but_o they_o be_v answer_v by_o he_o and_o so_o be_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o now_o they_o may_v go_v shift_n for_o themselves_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o gentleman_n who_o with_o no_o small_a opinion_n of_o himself_o take_v his_o adversary_n to_o task_n for_o let_v his_o argument_n drop_v nay_o for_o not_o say_v one_o word_n to_o all_o his_o own_o reason_n press_v against_o himself_o reply_v etc._n p._n 2_o 3_o 4_o etc._n etc._n but_o let_v the_o matter_n fall_v very_o cautious_o when_o it_o come_v to_o his_o own_o turn_n of_o dispute_v and_o defend_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o that_o too_o in_o a_o case_n direct_o appertain_v to_o our_o main_a point_n of_o represent_v etc._n etc._n now_o this_o be_v a_o bite_a accusation_n if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a one_o and_o before_o we_o part_v i_o hope_v we_o shall_v have_v a_o word_n or_o two_o about_o that_o but_o if_o it_o be_v as_o true_a as_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v it_o be_v false_a the_o representer_n of_o all_o man_n live_v shall_v have_v make_v no_o word_n on_o it_o and_o that_o not_o only_o because_o himself_o be_v a_o most_o notorious_a example_n of_o forsake_v his_o own_o argument_n in_o their_o distress_n but_o because_o his_o adversary_n be_v so_o generous_a to_o wink_v at_o he_o when_o he_o steal_v off_o from_o his_o dispute_a post_n upon_o the_o very_a first_o attack_v that_o be_v make_v upon_o he_o for_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o he_o charge_v he_o with_o this_o in_o show_v the_o progress_n of_o the_o controversy_n and_o indeed_o consider_v all_o his_o other_o advantage_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o it_o so_o that_o if_o the_o representer_n have_v be_v content_a this_o may_v have_v be_v forget_v still_o but_o if_o a_o man_n owe_v himself_o a_o shame_n he_o do_v well_o to_o pay_v it_o well_o but_o what_o go_v the_o reflection_n upon_o all_o this_o while_n by_o this_o time_n i_o think_v a_o stranger_n may_v guess_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o reflection_n be_v to_o flutter_v up_o and_o down_o between_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o introduction_n and_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o book_n and_o to_o settle_v no_o where_o and_o now_o i_o shall_v give_v as_o short_a and_o faithful_a a_o abstract_n of_o they_o as_o i_o can_v in_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o introduction_n the_o answerer_n declare_v himself_o unsatisfied_a with_o the_o representer_n method_n to_o clear_v his_o party_n from_o misrepresentation_n and_o particular_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v his_o own_o ignorant_a childish_a or_o wilful_a mistake_n the_o protestant_a representation_n of_o popery_n as_o that_o the_o papist_n be_v never_o permit_v to_o hear_v sermon_n which_o they_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v and_o the_o like_a now_o from_o hence_o the_o representer_n desire_v leave_v to_o assure_v his_o friend_n that_o the_o protestant_a representation_n of_o popery_n be_v ignorant_a reply_v 4._o p._n 4._o childish_a or_o wilful_a mistake_n one_o will_v not_o have_v expect_v so_o mean_a a_o cavil_v so_o soon_o after_o he_o have_v

this_o than_o to_o tell_v he_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v more_o ashamed_a to_o deny_v it_o it_o be_v so_o manifest_a that_o what_o the_o answerer_n say_v of_o some_o of_o his_o misrepresentation_n
