whisper_v they_o into_o priest_n ear_n this_o again_o be_v a_o calumny_n and_o misrepresentation_n since_o no_o catholic_n teach_v that_o only_o whisper_a sin_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o priest_n be_v sufficient_a for_o their_o remission_n they_o own_o indeed_o confession_n to_o a_o priest_n in_o order_n to_o absolution_n and_o the_o same_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o beside_o this_o whisper_a they_o require_v likewise_o a_o true_a and_o hearty_a sorrow_n join_v with_o a_o firm_a purpose_n of_o amendment_n and_o a_o sincere_a resolution_n of_o avoid_v through_o the_o help_n of_o god_n grace_n all_o sin_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o they_o for_o the_o future_a and_o this_o i_o hope_v as_o no_o body_n will_v deny_v to_o be_v a_o proper_a mean_n in_o order_n to_o forgiveness_n so_o likewise_o every_o one_o will_v see_v how_o unsincere_a this_o preacher_n be_v in_o say_v that_o a_o man_n unlade_n himself_o of_o all_o his_o sin_n by_o whisper_v they_o into_o priest_n ear_n to_o make_v his_o follower_n believe_v the_o papist_n to_o be_v so_o sottish_a as_o to_o think_v their_o sin_n forgive_v by_o a_o whisper_n only_o 4._o of_o transubstantiation_n where_o man_n must_v renounce_v all_o their_o five_o sense_n at_o once_o how_o be_v this_o true_a that_o we_o must_v renounce_v all_o our_o five_o sense_n in_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o mystery_n since_o if_o we_o follow_v our_o hear_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n by_o which_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v it_o christ_n word_n express_o signify_v and_o declare_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v his_o body_n these_o word_n we_o hear_v deliver_v to_o we_o by_o those_o who_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v the_o flock_n to_o wit_n the_o pastor_n of_o christ_n church_n these_o word_n we_o see_v likewise_o and_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o that_o if_o we_o follow_v our_o ear_n and_o our_o eye_n direct_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v this_o mystery_n and_o consequent_o do_v not_o renounce_v all_o five_o at_o once_o and_o thus_o whilst_o we_o let_v both_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v immediate_o direct_v by_o god_n word_n which_o be_v infallible_a we_o more_o reverence_n the_o scripture_n and_o believe_v upon_o better_a ground_n than_o protestant_n who_o let_v natural_a object_n ever_o about_o mystery_n of_o their_o faith_n have_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o be_v so_o often_o deceive_v rather_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v deceive_v they_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o frame_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o nature_n or_o substance_n of_o a_o thing_n we_o must_v depend_v upon_o the_o information_n of_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o common_a and_o natural_a way_n be_v to_o judge_n according_a to_o the_o relation_n the_o sense_n give_v from_o the_o external_n and_o natural_a accident_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o frame_v a_o true_a judgement_n of_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o such_o a_o object_n not_o according_a to_o a_o natural_a be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o what_o it_o may_v have_v of_o supernatural_a the_o sense_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v here_o too_o the_o information_n these_o give_v not_o now_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n but_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o divine_a revelation_n for_o though_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v connect_v with_o and_o best_a know_v by_o its_o natural_a quality_n yet_o a_o supernatural_a be_v not_o so_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v better_a know_v from_o what_o the_o sense_n tell_v we_o from_o god_n word_n and_o divine_a revelation_n than_o from_o the_o external_n accident_n and_o natural_a quality_n of_o the_o thing_n i_o illustrate_v this_o by_o a_o instance_n in_o another_o matter_n if_o i_o have_v a_o present_v send_v i_o in_o a_o letter_n by_o a_o friend_n and_o i_o intend_v to_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o it_o and_o what_o it_o be_v i_o can_v do_v this_o without_o the_o assistance_n of_o my_o sense_n but_o then_o these_o may_v inform_v i_o two_o way_n either_o by_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o at_o present_a i_o suppose_v be_v a_o transparent_a stone_n observe_v every_o cast_n of_o the_o light_n how_o pale_a etc._n etc._n or_o by_o read_v the_o letter_n which_o be_v send_v from_o a_o excellent_a artist_n give_v a_o full_a account_n of_o it_o as_o likewise_o hear_v what_o the_o bearer_n say_v who_o i_o know_v to_o be_v a_o skilful_a jeweller_n now_o in_o both_o these_o way_n i_o use_v my_o sense_n in_o order_n to_o judge_n of_o the_o present_a as_o to_o its_o nature_n and_o value_n if_o i_o take_v the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n from_o the_o view_n of_o the_o stone_n in_o itself_o i_o judge_v it_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o skill_n to_o be_v no_o precious_a stone_n but_o some_o counterfeit_n or_o pebble_n if_o i_o take_v the_o information_n my_o sense_n give_v i_o from_o the_o read_n the_o letter_n and_o hear_v the_o artist_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a diamond_n upon_o their_o authority_n and_o great_a skill_n who_o be_v of_o know_a honesty_n do_v unfeigned_o give_v i_o this_o assurance_n now_o in_o which_o judgement_n of_o these_o aught_o in_o in_o prudence_n final_o to_o acquiese_n certain_o in_o this_o last_o and_o yet_o in_o so_o do_v i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o renounce_v all_o my_o five_o sense_n at_o once_o no_o even_o in_o this_o judgement_n too_o i_o shall_v depend_v upon_o my_o sense_n and_o if_o in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o i_o prudent_o form_v my_o judgement_n from_o the_o account_n my_o sense_n give_v i_o of_o such_o man_n authority_n and_o knowledge_n rather_o
of_o it_o he_o be_v no_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o that_o though_o the_o teacher_n of_o this_o communion_n as_o establish_v by_o law_n be_v very_o industrious_a to_o

beyond_o their_o own_o sense_n and_o reason_n otherwise_o they_o will_v ●ot_n believe_v like_o man_n but_o pin_v their_o faith_n on_o other_o man_n sleeve_n and_o blind_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o nose_n yet_o when_o they_o turn_v on_o the_o other_o s●●●_n and_o ●●e_v to_o hear_v what_o popery_n and_o the_o papist_n be_v here_o they_o may_v run_v o●_n as_o blind_o as_o they_o please_v a_o implicit_a
