A89922	The Christian and Catholike veritie; or, The reasons and manner of the conversion of Francis de Neville; formerly a Capuchin, preacher, the Popes missionary, and superiour in sundry covents of the same order. A treatise very usefull for all Christians, and especially for such as are popishly affected, or not fully setled in their beliefe; and for the further confirmation of the faithfull. Wherein many secrets of the Romish clergy, heretofore unrevealed, are discovered. Dedicated by the author to the high court of Parliament now assembled, 1642. See the contents at the next page.	Neville, Francis de.; England and Wales. Parliament.	1642 (1642)	Wing N502; Thomason E144_15; ESTC R11352	153,461	187

with_o the_o action_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n which_o want_v true_a faith_n can_v have_v true_a holiness_n but_o the_o reform_a protestant_n church_n retain_v true_a faith_n which_o be_v preach_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v also_o only_o capable_a of_o sanctity_n and_o as_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a catholic_a faith_n so_o be_v the_o name_n of_o

you_o may_v it_o be_v true_a see_v in_o most_o of_o they_o many_o fine_a picture_n rich_a carving_n and_o rare_a invention_n some_o in_o marble_n stone_n some_o jaspar_n some_o in_o porphar_n and_o

of_o damask_n satin_n velvet_n cloth_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n lay_v over_o and_o garnish_v with_o precious_a lace_n and_o embroydering_n there_o you_o may_v find_v also_o many_o vessel_n and_o

better_o with_o the_o ancient_a ceremonial_a church_n than_o with_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o we_o may_v say_v all_o those_o magnificence_n be_v but_o vanity_n before_o god_n if_o it_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o devotion_n 45.14_o psal_n 45.14_o because_o all_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o king_n daughter_n say_v the_o psalmist_n be_v within_o and_o in_o the_o heart_n but_o that_o be_v much_o want_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n for_o if_o you_o go_v into_o their_o church_n especial_o the_o parish_n church_n in_o time_n of_o public_a service_n you_o shall_v see_v few_o that_o pray_v to_o god_n or_o seem_v attentive_a to_o the_o mystery_n but_o many_o prate_n or_o do_v worse_o here_o dog_n play_v there_o little_a child_n cry_v while_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n some_o priest_n be_v

the_o reform_a church_n praise_v be_v god_n it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o i_o have_v receive_v very_o great_a comfort_n and_o edification_n see_v the_o silence_n which_o be_v keep_v there_o both_o

to_o that_o end_n that_o the_o clerk_n be_v musician_n enough_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o exact_a therein_o and_o that_o the_o note_n and_o tone_n be_v so_o easy_a that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_o sing_v by_o all_o the_o people_n as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o place_n for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o devout_a and_o harmonious_a sing_n raise_v the_o spirit_n much_o to_o god_n and_o

to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o reader_n that_o not_o only_o in_o church_n but_o even_o in_o private_a house_n god_n be_v better_a serve_v than_o among_o the_o papist_n for_o among_o they_o there_o be_v never_o any_o prayer_n almost_o in_o public_a and_o i_o remember_v seldom_o to_o have_v see_v any_o such_o thing_n practise_v in_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o house_n both_o of_o noble_n

if_o there_o be_v any_o defect_n in_o that_o duty_n we_o may_v say_v the_o mixture_n and_o bad_a example_n of_o papist_n have_v be_v a_o great_a cause_n thereof_o here_o but_o it_o be_v credible_a
