the_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n send_v from_o france_n by_o mr._n walter_n mountagu_n to_o his_o father_n the_o lord_n privy_a seal_n with_o his_o answer_n thereunto_o ❧_o also_o a_o second_o answer_n to_o the_o same_o letter_n by_o the_o lord_n faukland_n imprint_v 1641._o my_o lord_n after_o much_o debate_n concerning_o the_o fit_a expression_n of_o my_o duty_n to_o your_o lordship_n whether_o i_o ought_v by_o silence_n seek_v to_o suspend_v the_o belief_n of_o the_o declaration_n of_o myself_o i_o have_v make_v here_o or_o by_o a_o clear_a profession_n of_o it_o assure_v you_o of_o what_o i_o may_v only_o fear_v to_o present_v you_o with_o as_o apprehensive_a of_o a_o misinterpret_a affection_n i_o conclude_v what_o be_v most_o satisfactory_a to_o my_o first_o and_o immediate_a duty_n to_o god_n be_v most_o justifiable_a to_o my_o second_o and_o derivative_a to_o nature_n therefore_o i_o resolve_v so_o soon_o to_o give_v you_o this_o ingenuous_a account_n of_o myself_o the_o great_a part_n of_o my_o life_n capable_a of_o distinction_n of_o religion_n have_v be_v employ_v in_o place_n and_o conversant_a with_o person_n opposite_a to_o the_o faith_n i_o be_v breed_v in_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v strange_a if_o natural_a curiosity_n without_o any_o spiritual_a provocation_n have_v not_o invite_v i_o to_o the_o desire_n of_o look_v with_o my_o own_o eye_n upon_o the_o foundation_n i_o stand_v upon_o rather_o there_o hold_v fast_o blindfold_a by_o my_o education_n to_o agree_v to_o be_v carry_v away_o always_o after_o it_o insensible_a of_o all_o shock_n i_o meet_v to_o unfasten_v i_o and_o beside_o i_o be_v solicit_v with_o the_o reproach_n protestant_n press_v upon_o catholic_n that_o they_o blind_o believe_v all_o the_o imposture_n of_o the_o church_n without_o any_o illumination_n of_o their_o judgement_n this_o methinks_v enjoin_v the_o clear_a information_n of_o myself_o of_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o i_o can_v propose_v to_o my_o capacity_n so_o at_o my_o last_o journey_n into_o italy_n i_o do_v employ_v all_o my_o leisure_n to_o a_o more_o justifiable_a settlement_n of_o my_o belief_n as_o i_o then_o imagine_v to_o a_o confirmation_n of_o my_o judgement_n in_o what_o have_v be_v introduce_v by_o my_o birth_n and_o education_n i_o begin_v with_o this_o consideration_n that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o question_n between_o the_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n the_o one_o of_o right_n or_o doctrine_n the_o other_o of_o fact_n or_o story_n as_o this_o whether_o luther_n be_v the_o first_o erector_n of_o the_o protestant_n faith_n whether_o it_o have_v a_o visible_a appearance_n of_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n before_o his_o time_n i_o resolve_v to_o begin_v my_o enquiry_n with_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o they_o be_v so_o few_o and_o so_o comprehensible_a by_o all_o capacity_n and_o the_o controversy_n of_o doctrine_n intricate_a and_o so_o many_o as_o they_o require_v much_o time_n and_o learning_n for_o their_o disquisition_n only_o and_o i_o find_v myself_o unprovided_a of_o both_o those_o requisition_n for_o this_o undertake_n and_o for_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o other_o i_o need_v not_o much_o presumption_n to_o believe_v myself_o a_o competent_a judge_n when_o it_o consist_v only_o in_o a_o perusal_n of_o authentic_a testimony_n second_o i_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o part_n of_o controvert_a doctrine_n whereon_o all_o the_o rest_n depend_v but_o that_o this_o one_o question_n of_o fact_n be_v such_o as_o the_o decision_n of_o it_o determine_v all_o the_o rest_n for_o if_o luther_n can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o innovator_n of_o the_o protestant_n faith_n it_o be_v necessary_o evict_v of_o not_o be_v the_o true_a ancient_a and_o apostolical_a religion_n therefore_o i_o begin_v with_o this_o enquiry_n which_o protestant_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v to_o answer_v this_o objection_n to_o find_v out_o a_o existence_n of_o some_o professor_n of_o the_o reform_a doctrine_n before_o luther_n time_n for_o find_v the_o catholic_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o prove_v the_o negative_a it_o be_v my_o part_n to_o prove_v to_o myself_o the_o affirmative_a that_o our_o religion_n be_v no_o innovation_n by_o some_o pre-existence_n before_o that_o but_o in_o the_o perusal_n of_o all_o the_o story_n or_o record_n ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a as_o i_o can_v choose_v i_o can_v find_v no_o ancient_a a_o dissension_n from_o the_o roman_a church_n than_o waldo_n wickliff_n and_o huff_z who_o cause_n have_v relation_n to_o the_o now-professed_a protestancy_n so_o as_o i_o can_v find_v a_o interval_n of_o about_o 800_o year_n from_o the_o time_n that_o all_o protestant_n confess_v a_o unity_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n down_o to_o those_o person_n without_o any_o apparent_a profession_n of_o different_a faith_n to_o answer_v myself_o in_o this_o point_n i_o read_v many_o of_o our_o protestant_a author_n who_o treat_v of_o it_o and_o i_o find_v most_o of_o they_o reply_n to_o this_o sense_n in_o which_o i_o cite_v here_o one_o of_o the_o most_o authentic_a doctor_n whitaker_n in_o his_o controversy_n 2._o 3._o pag._n 479._o where_o they_o ask_v of_o we_o where_o our_o church_n be_v heretofore_o for_o so_o many_o age_n we_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v in_o secret_a solitude_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v conceal_v and_o lie_v hide_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o further_o the_o same_o doctor_n chap._n 4._o pag._n 502._o our_o church_n always_o be_v but_o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o visible_a do_v that_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o no_o for_o it_o lie_v in_o a_o solitary_a concealment_n to_o this_o direct_a sense_n all_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o ever_o i_o can_v meet_v with_o to_o this_o objection_n i_o repeat_v no_o more_o those_o place_n be_v so_o positive_a to_o our_o point_n this_o confession_n of_o invisibility_n in_o our_o church_n for_o so_o many_o age_n do_v much_o perplex_v i_o it_o seem_v even_o to_o offend_v natural_a reason_n such_o a_o derogation_n from_o god_n power_n or_o providence_n as_o the_o sufferance_n of_o so_o great_a a_o eclipse_n of_o the_o light_n of_o this_o true_a church_n and_o such_o a_o church_n as_o this_o be_v describe_v to_o be_v seem_v to_o i_o repugnant_a to_o the_o main_n reason_n why_o god_n have_v a_o church_n upon_o earth_n to_o be_v a_o conserver_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o precept_n and_o to_o convey_v it_o from_o age_n to_o age_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o i_o apply_v my_o study_n to_o peruse_v such_o argument_n as_o the_o catholic_n bring_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o continual_a visibility_n of_o the_o true_a church_n down_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n in_o all_o age_n and_o appearance_n of_o doctor_n teach_v and_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n in_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o find_v they_o bring_v many_o proviso_n of_o scripture_n but_o this_o text_n most_o literal_a of_o the_o four_o of_o the_o ephesian_n christ_n have_v place_v in_o his_o church_n pastor_n and_o doctor_n to_o the_o consummation_n of_o the_o saint_n till_o we_o meet_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o next_o the_o discourse_n upon_o which_o they_o infer_v this_o necessary_a visible_a succession_n of_o the_o church_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o most_o rational_a and_o convince_a one_o which_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n natural_a reason_n not_o be_v able_a to_o proportion_n to_o a_o man_n a_o course_n that_o may_v certain_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o state_n of_o supernatural_a happiness_n and_o that_o such_o a_o course_n be_v necessary_a to_o mankind_n which_o otherwise_o will_v total_o fail_v of_o the_o end_n it_o be_v create_v for_o there_o remain_v no_o other_o way_n but_o that_o it_o must_v be_v propose_v unto_o we_o by_o one_o who_o authority_n we_o can_v not_o doubt_v of_o and_o that_o in_o so_o plain_a a_o manner_n as_o even_o the_o simple_a may_v be_v capable_a of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o learned_a this_o work_n be_v perform_v by_o our_o saviour_n from_o who_o mouth_n all_o our_o faith_n be_v

there_o be_v no_o warrant_n for_o that_o less_o for_o discontentment_n or_o upon_o seducement_n when_o i_o look_v upon_o your_o letter_n which_o you_o term_v a_o ingenuous_a account_n of_o yourself_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o a_o account_n of_o your_o new_a profess_a religion_n but_o rather_o a_o exprobration_n of_o i_o and_o so_o of_o we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v i_o know_v

if_o they_o appeal_v to_o a_o consent_n of_o father_n or_o counsel_n whereof_o many_o be_v lose_v many_o not_o lose_v not_o to_o be_v get_v many_o uncertain_a whether_o father_n or_o no_o father_n
