among_o we_o be_v better_o know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o arminian_n controversy_n now_o suppose_v they_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v a_o latitude_n of_o sense_n in_o their_o define_n these_o controversy_n have_v they_o positive_o define_v nothing_o have_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o express_a term_n decree_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n of_o worship_n of_o saint_n

charge_v both_o upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o they_o purposely_o pen_v their_o decree_n in_o such_o loose_a term_n that_o man_n of_o different_a opinion_n may_v expound_v they_o to_o their_o own_o sense_n which_o be_v to_o make_v a_o show_n of_o decide_v a_o controveesy_n with_o a_o intention_n all_o the_o while_n to_o leave_v it_o undecided_a which_o be_v such_o a_o juggle_n as_o unbecome_v the_o sincerity_n of_o a_o christian_a church_n there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a many_o nice_a philosophical_a dispute_n which_o a_o wise_a church_n may_v think_v necessary_a to_o leave_v undecided_a but_o there_o never_o can_v be_v any_o good_a reason_n instead_o of_o determine_v controversy_n to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o endless_a dispute_n between_o the_o member_n of_o the_o same_o communion_n by_o doubtful_a and_o ambiguous_a expression_n and_o therefore_o i_o absolute_o deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v do_v this_o or_o ever_o intend_v to_o do_v it_o she_o have_v indeed_o use_v that_o temper_n and_o moderation_n in_o those_o article_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o five_o point_n as_o only_o to_o determine_v what_o be_v substantial_a in_o they_o and_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v by_o all_o christian_n without_o decide_v those_o nicety_n whereon_o the_o controversy_n between_o the_o calvinist_n and_o the_o arminian_n turn_v and_o therefore_o both_o of_o they_o may_v subscribe_v these_o article_n because_o the_o controversy_n between_o they_o be_v determine_v on_o neither_o side_n and_o the_o appease_n such_o heat_n as_o may_v be_v occasion_v by_o those_o dispute_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o prudence_n of_o governor_n which_o be_v think_v a_o better_a way_n than_o a_o positive_a decision_n of_o they_o this_o i_o think_v i_o can_v make_v appear_v be_v it_o a_o proper_a place_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o have_v always_o think_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v wrong_v on_o both_o side_n while_o both_o the_o calvinist_n and_o arminian_n have_v force_v she_o to_o speak_v their_o own_o sense_n when_o she_o intend_v to_o speak_v neither_o and_o no_o man_n can_v blame_v this_o conduct_n who_o remember_v that_o this_o be_v only_o a_o revive_n that_o old_a philosophical_a dispute_n about_o necessity_n and_o fate_n which_o always_o have_v be_v a_o dispute_n and_o be_v likely_a to_o continue_v so_o and_o though_o these_o different_a opinion_n have_v very_o different_a effect_n on_o our_o mind_n and_o form_n very_o different_a apprehension_n in_o we_o of_o almighty_a god_n which_o may_v be_v a_o just_a reason_n to_o prefer_v one_o before_o the_o other_o yet_o they_o be_v both_o consistent_a with_o the_o belief_n etc._n of_o all_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n as_o i_o have_v show_v at_o large_a in_o that_o book_n to_o which_o this_o author_n so_o often_o refer_v but_o now_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v true_o use_v this_o art_n which_o this_o author_n charge_v she_o with_o such_o a_o latitude_n of_o expression_n and_o ambiguous_a term_n as_o may_v satisfy_v their_o differ_a divine_n that_o the_o cause_n be_v determine_v on_o their_o side_n when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o end_v their_o dispute_n and_o allay_v their_o heat_n and_o that_o in_o many_o concern_v point_n too_o as_o any_o one_o may_v see_v who_o read_v father_n paul_n history_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o if_o this_o be_v intolerable_a in_o a_o fallible_a church_n it_o be_v much_o more_o intolerable_a in_o a_o council_n which_o

be_v another_o ingenious_a confession_n of_o this_o author_n which_o be_v worth_a the_o note_n that_o among_o the_o romanist_n about_o the_o great_a doctrine_n of_o predetermination_n there_o be_v the_o durandists_n dominican_n jansenist_n molinist_n and_o scotist_n that_o very_o much_o differ_v in_o opinion_n and_o yet_o be_v still_o of_o the_o same_o church_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o

who_o subscribe_v the_o same_o article_n of_o religion_n as_o term_n of_o unity_n and_o peace_n as_o for_o calvinist_n and_o arminian_n i_o will_v grant_v they_o may_v both_o subscribe_v our_o

of_o the_o controversy_n about_o catholic_n communion_n which_o our_o author_n have_v very_o dexterous_o improve_v into_o catholic_n power_n and_o empire_n i_o need_v give_v he_o no_o hard_a word_n

too_o for_o we_o know_v no_o such_o ceremony_n as_o be_v the_o object_n of_o worship_n and_o that_o a_o image_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o use_v some_o indifferent_a and_o significant_a

that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n be_v start_v upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o dispute_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n in_o opposition_n whereto_o the_o

which_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o image_n of_o his_o body_n we_o ought_v to_o make_v 〈◊〉_d other_o image_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o argument_n the_o second_o

proper_o his_o body_n and_o blood._n and_o then_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v enjoin_v bow_v or_o kneel_v at_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o a_o signification_n of_o our_o humble_a and_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n therein_o give_v to_o all_o worthy_a receiver_n and_o for_o avoid_v such_o profanation_n and_o disorder_n in_o the_o holy_a communion_n as_o may_v otherwise_o ensue_v from_o these_o premise_n our_o author_n thus_o argue_v so_o that_o kneel_v be_v expressive_a of_o the_o inward_a reverence_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v a_o act_n of_o religious_a adoration_n the_o kneel_v then_o before_o the_o sacramental_a sign_n be_v the_o same_o with_o kneel_v to_o they_o bow_v before_o they_o be_v the_o same_o with_o bow_v to_o they_o a_o worship_v before_o they_o the_o same_o with_o give_v a_o religious_a worship_n to_o they_o which_o sufficient_o show_v that_o in_o one_o great_a instance_n the_o church_n of_o england_n retain_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o image_n worship_n with_o the_o roman-catholic_n and_o so_o far_o be_v we_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o very_o good_a time_n but_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n yet_o remain_v to_o be_v prove_v which_o he_o have_v convenient_o drop_v and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n own_v the_o sacramental_a bread_n to_o be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o representative_a object_n of_o worship_n this_o he_o know_v he_o can_v not_o prove_v and_o therefore_o say_v nothing_o of_o it_o for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o council_n of_o constantinople_n affirm_v that_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n body_n therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n teach_v so_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o author_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v allow_v it_o in_o some_o sense_n to_o be_v the_o image_n as_o that_o signify_v the_o sacramental_a figure_n of_o christ_n body_n do_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v the_o representative_a object_n of_o worship_n and_o thus_o his_o to_z and_o before_o and_o in_o presence_n be_v all_o lose_v because_o the_o bread_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v no_o representative_a object_n of_o worship_n and_o therefore_o we_o neither_o bow_n to_o nor_o before_o nor_o in_o presence_n of_o the_o bread_n as_o a_o representative_a object_n and_o therefore_o the_o answer_n that_o author_n give_v that_o we_o do_v not_o kneel_v to_o the_o sacrament_n but_o receive_v it_o kneel_v be_v

now_o this_o charge_n we_o own_o that_o we_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o episcopacy_n and_o that_o presbyter_n by_o the_o institution_n of_o their_o office_n be_v subject_a to_o bishop_n and_o if_o the_o roman-catholic_n own_o this_o we_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o it_o and_o so_o we_o will_v in_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o be_v true_a and_o think_v it_o no_o injury_n to_o

in_o despite_n of_o his_o title_n and_o design_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o agree_v with_o they_o here_o but_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o we_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o they_o thus_o he_o tell_v we_o 1._o touch_v the_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n as_o among_o the_o papist_n some_o hold_v that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o order_n differ_v only_o in_o degree_n and_o other_o that_o they_o be_v of_o distinct_a order_n so_o among_o our_o clergy_n i_o perceive_v our_o author_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v a_o protestant_n at_o last_o by_o his_o cry_v our_o clergy_n there_o be_v some_o who_o in_o king_n james_n the_o first_o day_n assert_v that_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n be_v of_o the_o same_o order_n but_o now_o it_o be_v carry_v for_o their_o be_v of_o two_o distinct_a order_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o agreement_n of_o the_o two_o church_n that_o there_o be_v divine_n in_o each_o church_n which_o differ_v about_o this_o point_n if_o neither_o church_n have_v determine_v this_o than_o they_o agree_v only_o in_o not_o determine_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o currant_n doctrine_n in_o the_o council_n of_o basil_n that_o bishop_n and_o priest_n be_v of_o the_o same_o order_n and_o it_o be_v the_o avow_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o bishop_n be_v a_o distinct_a and_o

the_o romanist_n he_o say_v do_v not_o so_o much_o stick_v to_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o the_o episcopal_a order_n as_o to_o hold_v that_o without_o a_o violation_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n a_o

i_o be_o sure_a he_o can_v than_o the_o reader_n know_v what_o to_o judge_v of_o he_o and_o his_o argument_n too_o as_o for_o the_o controversy_n between_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o

among_o we_o he_o shall_v not_o draw_v i_o into_o it_o it_o be_v sufficient_a we_o dispute_v against_o they_o and_o against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o very_o different_a principle_n against_o they_o we_o defend_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o indifferent_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n in_o religious_a worship_n though_o there_o be_v no_o express_a command_n for_o it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o they_o serve_v the_o end_n of_o order_n and_o decency_n which_o be_v express_o command_v against_o the_o romanist_n we_o never_o object_v that_o their_o ceremony_n have_v no_o divine_a

only_o to_o make_v the_o act_n of_o devotion_n to_o be_v more_o solemn_a and_o that_o solemnity_n 55._o be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o necessary_a adjunct_n to_o all_o public_a service_n and_o if_o
