memory_n and_o a_o needless_a explication_n of_o the_o first_o but_o whatever_o may_v be_v say_v for_o or_o against_o it_o if_o the_o charge_n be_v true_a why_o be_v this_o call_v misrepresent_v xxvi_o of_o mental_a reservation_n the_o representer_n himself_o grant_v all_o that_o we_o charge_v they_o with_o not_o that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v ever_o define_v by_o any_o general_a council_n or_o that_o it_o be_v universal_o receive_v and_o practise_v by_o all_o of_o that_o communion_n but_o that_o it_o have_v be_v teach_v and_o defend_v by_o great_a number_n of_o their_o divine_n and_o casuist_n not_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o any_o great_a authority_n now_o and_o practise_v as_o occasion_v serve_v by_o themselves_o and_o their_o disciple_n to_o charge_v all_o papist_n in_o general_a with_o this_o will_v indeed_o be_v a_o misrepresentation_n but_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v none_o to_o charge_v those_o who_o be_v real_o guilty_a xxvii_o of_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n we_o do_v not_o think_v so_o ill_o of_o any_o sect_n or_o profession_n of_o christian_n but_o that_o they_o will_v all_o grant_v that_o man_n ought_v to_o live_v as_o well_o as_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o fear_n and_o obedience_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v we_o ever_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o teach_v otherwise_o but_o then_o we_o say_v that_o man_n may_v teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o may_v give_v great_a encouragement_n to_o sinner_n to_o take_v their_o fill_n of_o sensual_a lust_n and_o to_o put_v off_o the_o thought_n of_o repentance_n to_o a_o deathbed_n and_o this_o indeed_o we_o think_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v do_v but_o do_v not_o charge_v she_o with_o teach_v her_o child_n to_o make_v such_o a_o ill_a use_n of_o these_o doctrine_n or_o with_o encourage_v they_o to_o live_v wicked_o in_o their_o health_n and_o to_o repent_v when_o they_o be_v sick_a this_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o character_n which_o we_o give_v of_o a-papist_n but_o we_o alleadg_n it_o only_o to_o convince_v man_n how_o dangerous_a the_o communion_n of_o such_o a_o church_n be_v which_o have_v find_v out_o so_o many_o easy_a way_n to_o keep_v good_a catholic_n out_o of_o hell_n as_o without_o she_o teach_v any_o such_o consequence_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o incline_v man_n who_o believe_v they_o to_o take_v great_a liberty_n than_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o soul_n xxviii_o of_o fast_v we_o do_v not_o blame_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o enjoin_v fast_v which_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a duty_n when_o it_o serve_v the_o true_a end_n and_o purpose_n of_o religion_n nor_o do_v we_o deny_v that_o a_o papist_n may_v fast_v very_o devout_o and_o religious_o but_o we_o say_v the_o common_a practice_n of_o fast_v among_o papist_n be_v far_o enough_o from_o be_v religious_a a_o ecclesiastical_a fast_o be_v very_o reconcilable_a with_o the_o great_a excess_n and_o though_o this_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o man_n and_o we_o charge_v none_o with_o it_o but_o those_o who_o be_v guilty_a which_o i_o suppose_v be_v not_o misrepresent_v yet_o their_o church_n have_v give_v occasion_n to_o it_o by_o make_v fast_v to_o signify_v eat_v so_o they_o do_v but_o abstain_v from_o all_o meat_n forbid_v by_o the_o church_n and_o their_o casuist_n have_v state_v this_o matter_n so_o loose_o that_o no_o man_n who_o have_v not_o a_o antipathy_n to_o the_o best_a fish_n and_o most_o delicious_a wine_n and_o sweetmeat_n need_v do_v any_o great_a penance_n in_o fast_v and_o it_o be_v hard_o we_o can_v be_v allow_v to_o complain_v of_o these_o abuse_n without_o be_v charge_v as_o misrepresenter_n xxix_o of_o division_n and_o schism_n in_o the_o church_n in_o this_o point_n we_o be_v not_o the_o assailant_n but_o be_v only_o on_o the_o defensive_a part_n when_o they_o make_v it_o a_o argument_n against_o the_o reformation_n that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o division_n and_o different_a opinion_n among_o we_o we_o desire_v they_o to_o look_v home_o and_o to_o the_o eternal_a shame_n of_o a_o pretend_a infallibility_n consider_v how_o many_o different_a opinion_n there_o be_v among_o themselves_o we_o be_v all_o agree_v in_o follow_v the_o same_o rule_n of_o faith_n as_o he_o say_v they_o be_v only_o our_o rule_n indeed_o differ_v we_o take_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o safe_a rule_n and_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v so_o they_o the_o sense_n and_o judgement_n and_o faith_n of_o their_o church_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o shall_v as_o soon_o agree_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o every_o text_n of_o scripture_n as_o they_o will_v what_o that_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n be_v to_o which_o they_o must_v yield_v what_o these_o tradition_n be_v they_o must_v receive_v and_o what_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o interpretation_n of_o the_o definition_n and_o decree_n of_o their_o council_n we_o agree_v in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o be_v the_o ancient_a faith_n of_o the_o church_n and_o our_o difference_n as_o to_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v as_o mere_a school-dispute_n as_o they_o say_v they_o be_v and_o in_o most_o case_n the_o same_o as_o about_o predestination_n election_n and_o reprobation_n the_o efficacy_n of_o grace_n and_o freewill_n we_o have_v some_o indeed_o which_o they_o have_v not_o and_o they_o have_v some_o that_o we_o have_v not_o as_o about_o the_o the_o immaculate_a conception_n the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n etc._n etc._n they_o have_v a_o way_n indeed_o to_o confine_v these_o dispute_n to_o their_o school_n which_o we_o have_v not_o and_o that_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o common_a people_n in_o ignorance_n which_o will_v effectual_o cure_v their_o dispute_v but_o we_o think_v it_o better_o that_o our_o people_n shall_v understand_v their_o religion_n though_o they_o dispute_v a_o little_a about_o it_o now_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o misrepresent_v in_o this_o case_n that_o we_o do_v not_o think_v this_o a_o reasonable_a objection_n against_o either_o side_n but_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v talk_v of_o our_o division_n to_o persuade_v people_n for_o peace_n and_o unity_n sake_n to_o take_v sanctuary_n in_o a_o infallible_a church_n they_o must_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o tell_v our_o people_n that_o infallibility_n though_o it_o sound_v big_a do_v not_o do_v such_o feat_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o be_v pretend_v their_o common_a people_n indeed_o do_v not_o dispute_v about_o religion_n because_o they_o know_v little_a of_o it_o and_o their_o divine_n and_o scholar_n agree_v just_a as_o our_o divine_n do_v or_o it_o may_v be_v not_o so_o well_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o misrepresent_v we_o be_v guilty_a of_o in_o this_o matter_n xxx_o of_o friar_n and_o nun_n wherein_o the_o misrepresentation_n he_o complain_v of_o here_o consist_v i_o can_v guess_v be_v it_o that_o papist_n be_v teach_v to_o have_v a_o high_a esteem_n of_o friar_n and_o nun_n this_o he_o himself_o own_v be_v it_o that_o many_o who_o enter_v into_o this_o religious_a course_n of_o life_n live_v very_o irreligious_o this_o he_o also_o confess_v and_o apologise_v for_o and_o these_o two_o thing_n make_v the_o character_n i_o suppose_v he_o forget_v something_o else_o which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o misrepresentation_n xxxi_o of_o wicked_a principle_n and_o practice_n here_o also_o i_o can_v find_v wherein_o the_o misrepresentation_n consist_v there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o ill_a thing_n say_v to_o be_v commit_v by_o some_o person_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n this_o the_o representer_n grant_v and_o excuse_n the_o church_n from_o the_o scandal_n of_o such_o example_n how_o well_o be_v not_o my_o business_n at_o present_a to_o inquire_v who_o be_o no_o far_o concern_v than_o to_o see_v right_o do_v they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o misrepresent_v xxxii_o of_o miracle_n here_o the_o papist_n be_v charge_v with_o believe_v a_o great_a many_o idle_a story_n and_o ridiculous_a invention_n in_o favour_n of_o his_o saint_n which_o he_o call_v miracle_n and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o misrepresentation_n they_o themselves_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o for_o these_o popish_a miracle_n be_v not_o invent_v by_o protestant_n but_o publish_v by_o themselves_o who_o be_v the_o only_a person_n that_o ever_o see_v they_o but_o their_o believe_v such_o miracle_n which_o i_o hardly_o think_v a_o wise_a man_n among_o they_o do_v though_o they_o be_v willing_a the_o people_n shall_v be_v the_o least_o thing_n in_o it_o for_o bare_a credulity_n which_o do_v no_o hurt_n be_v very_o innocent_a though_o very_o silly_a but_o to_o recommend_v such_o miracle_n as_o credible_a which_o be_v no_o better_a than_o imposture_n be_v a_o injury_n to_o common_a christianity_n and_o make_v man_n suspect_v the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n to_o be_v cheat_n too_o and_o it_o be_v a_o horrid_a
