same_o proof_n etc._n etc._n yet_o sure_o the_o first_o point_n be_v none_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o try_v the_o next_o 2._o it_o be_v object_v against_o we_o that_o we_o make_v god_n of_o dead_a man_n and_o this_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n where_o our_o church_n be_v call_v by_o the_o same_o title_n that_o they_o have_v in_o time_n of_o popery_n now_o if_o by_o make_v god_n of_o dead_a man_n be_v mean_v make_v the_o saint_n so_o many_o independent_a deity_n there_o be_v then_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o what_o the_o zealous_a brother_n object_n against_o we_o and_o what_o we_o object_n against_o the_o papist_n as_o well_o as_o between_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o objection_n for_o we_o never_o object_v this_o against_o they_o but_o if_o by_o this_o expression_n be_v mean_v give_v that_o worship_n to_o the_o saint_n which_o belong_v only_o to_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n we_o then_o allow_v our_o objection_n to_o be_v the_o same_o but_o do_v think_v that_o we_o have_v much_o better_a reason_n to_o object_v this_o against_o the_o papist_n than_o that_o of_o a_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n for_o we_o appeal_v to_o the_o public_a address_n which_o be_v make_v to_o virgin_n mary_n and_o other_o saint_n with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o external_n adoration_n to_o their_o litany_n and_o to_o the_o hymn_n of_o their_o establish_a office_n wherein_o they_o be_v often_o in_o voke_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o god_n himself_o be_v to_o their_o appropriate_a to_o particular_a saint_n distinct_a power_n of_o do_v good_a to_o their_o worshipper_n to_o their_o acknowledgement_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v mediator_n of_o intercession_n to_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v to_o they_o in_o all_o place_n as_o if_o they_o be_v omnipresent_v to_o the_o sense_n also_o of_o their_o council_n of_o trent_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o with_o mental_a as_o well_o

do_v no_o more_o in_o my_o character_n against_o she_o than_o what_o they_o have_v be_v do_v these_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v we_o have_v for_o these_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n charge_v they_o with_o worship_v the_o saint_n upon_o no_o better_a ground_n than_o their_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n only_o say_v he_o what_o i_o have_v do_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o jest_n and_o without_o endeavour_v to_o delude_v any_o body_n with_o such_o kind_n of_o sophistry_n they_o have_v be_v do_v in_o the_o great_a earnest_n and_o by_o it_o make_v good_a their_o cause_n so_o that_o he_o confess_v his_o charge_n upon_o our_o church_n to_o be_v carry_v on_o with_o a_o kind_n of_o sophistry_n only_a what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o jest_n we_o have_v be_v do_v against_o they_o in_o the_o great_a earnest_n i._n e._n we_o have_v in_o good_a earnest_n charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o give_v that_o

great_a sophistry_n of_o all_o lie_v in_o this_o that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o delude_v people_n into_o this_o opinion_n which_o yet_o if_o he_o can_v he_o must_v delude_v they_o into_o another_o

it_o against_o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o he_o charge_v we_o with_o it_o i_o shall_v present_o make_v appear_v to_o let_v pass_v his_o suggestion_n that_o the_o london_n church_n be_v first_o build_v by_o the_o papist_n his_o add_v that_o we_o rebuilt_a they_o with_o the_o same_o title_n invocation_n and_o dedication_n which_o they_o use_v show_v how_o little_o he_o be_v to_o be_v trust_v in_o a_o question_n of_o antiquity_n who_o talk_v so_o careless_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v notorious_a in_o our_o own_o day_n our_o father_n indeed_o find_v the_o title_n convenient_a enough_o and_o the_o church_n themselves_o reasonable_a good_a church_n and_o retain_v they_o both_o but_o when_o we_o raise_v they_o out_o of_o their_o ash_n we_o dedicate_v they_o to_o no_o saint_n whatever_o have_v be_v do_v in_o this_o kind_n former_o nor_o have_v we_o since_o invocate_v any_o saint_n in_o any_o one_o of_o they_o but_o we_o keep_v the_o title_n still_o and_o do_v our_o new_a representer_n expect_v that_o we_o shall_v answer_v such_o objection_n as_o these_o at_o least_o i_o desire_v he_o not_o to_o think_v that_o we_o will_v make_v a_o practice_n of_o it_o must_v our_o retain_v these_o title_n necessary_o infer_v a_o virtual_a dedication_n of_o our_o temple_n to_o those_o saint_n by_o who_o name_n they_o be_v distinguish_v from_o one_o another_o but_o what_o if_o we_o have_v call_v they_o by_o the_o name_n of_o those_o street_n only_o where_o they_o stand_v have_v they_o then_o be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o street_n we_o say_v that_o the_o hundred_o thirty_o and_o two_o church_n here_o which_o be_v know_v by_o the_o name_n dead_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v with_o we_o god_n house_n and_o dedicate_v to_o his_o only_a service_n no_o less_o than_o the_o five_o that_o be_v distinguish_v by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o trinity_n and_o i_o think_v so_o acute_a a_o disputant_n as_o he_o be_v grow_v may_v have_v see_v that_o the_o title_n of_o one_o church_n distinguish_v it_o from_o the_o rest_n do_v not_o show_v who_o be_v serve_v and_o worship_v there_o when_o the_o same_o service_n and_o worship_n be_v use_v in_o all_o of_o they_o that_o which_o we_o blame_v they_o for_o be_v that_o they_o continue_v to_o worship_v dead_a man_n and_o woman_n in_o those_o church_n which_o bear_v their_o name_n and_o in_o those_o which_o do_v not_o for_o if_o in_o christ_n church_n they_o call_v upon_o the_o bless_a virgin_n though_o the_o church_n have_v its_o title_n from_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o house_n of_o prayer_n to_o she_o as_o well_o as_o to_o he_o and_o if_o in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v know_v by_o her_o name_n we_o call_v upon_o god_n only_o and_o worship_v he_o alone_o they_o be_v his_o house_n entire_o and_o none_o of_o hers._fw-la but_o after_o all_o where_o do_v the_o answerer_n press_v he_o with_o the_o title_n of_o their_o church_n and_o yet_o the_o reason_n which_o press_n home_o the_o argument_n be_v they_o not_o the_o very_a same_o which_o the_o answerer_n himself_o urge_v against_o he_o the_o representer_n 3._o i_o confess_v that_o i_o have_v see_v picture_n in_o some_o english_a

creep_v in_o among_o we_o i_o can_v tell_v for_o they_o have_v no_o public_a authority_n from_o our_o church_n the_o answerer_n make_v his_o guess_n and_o perhaps_o it_o will_v not_o be_v easy_a to_o mend_v it_o but_o upon_o this_o great_a occasion_n the_o representer_n have_v bring_v in_o his_o rigid_a brother_n make_v we_o worse_o than_o the_o papist_n themselves_z forget_v that_o he_o
