A62284	The reformation of the Church of England justified according to the canons of the Council of Nice, and other general councils, and the tradition of the Catholick Church being an answer to a paper reprinted at Oxford, called (The schism of the Church of England) demonstrated in four arguments, formerly proposed to Dr. Gunning and Dr. Pearson the late bishops of Ely and Chester, by two Catholick disputants, in a celebrated conference upon that point : in which answer the unworthy and false dealings of the papists are shewed, and the charge of schism returned upon them, and the Church of England proved truly Catholick and apostolick in her doctrine and constitution / by Dr. Saywell.

inform_v and_o all_o the_o opportunity_n of_o serve_v god_n according_a to_o the_o high_a perfection_n of_o the_o apostolic_a and_o primitive_a church_n come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n where_o the_o author_n go_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o popish_a bishop_n do_v nothing_o whereby_o they_o become_v unlawful_a bishop_n for_o if_o they_o do_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v suppose_v it_o be_v that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v deprive_v and_o then_o he_o say_v all_o the_o reason_n for_o which_o they_o be_v deprive_v be_v resist_v the_o pretend_a reformation_n and_o refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o that_o be_v but_o proceed_v in_o practice_n according_a to_o the_o common_a tenet_n the_o hold_v whereof_o make_v they_o not_o unlawful_a bishop_n again_o whilst_o they_o be_v lawful_a bishop_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n they_o hold_v it_o a_o common_a necessary_a point_n of_o religion_n to_o resist_v the_o reformation_n and_o refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n in_o answer_n to_o all_o which_o i_o say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o author_n be_v own_o argument_n they_o be_v no_o lawful_a bishop_n because_o they_o either_o do_v schismatical_o invade_v the_o place_n of_o the_o lawful_a bishop_n or_o else_o be_v willing_o consecrate_a and_o do_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o those_o schismatical_a bishop_n when_o the_o queen_n therefore_o do_v set_v they_o aside_o she_o do_v but_o dispossess_v man_n who_o have_v no_o just_a right_n and_o remove_v those_o by_o her_o civil_a authority_n who_o have_v no_o power_n but_o what_o they_o have_v from_o force_n and_o the_o secular_a constitution_n but_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o though_o their_o title_n be_v at_o first_o defective_a and_o they_o do_v schismatical_o usurp_v those_o bishopric_n yet_o when_o their_o predecessor_n be_v dead_a that_o defect_n may_v be_v overlook_v and_o by_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o kingdom_n their_o title_n may_v be_v make_v good_a and_o they_o very_o well_o confirm_v in_o their_o possession_n it_o will_v have_v i_o confess_v be_v happy_a if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o catholic_n disposition_n in_o those_o bishop_n that_o they_o will_v have_v willing_o repent_v and_o forsake_v their_o former_a error_n that_o so_o the_o kingdom_n may_v have_v confirm_v their_o authority_n by_o the_o universal_a reception_n but_o there_o be_v many_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v refuse_v and_o can_v not_o own_o and_o receive_v they_o as_o lawful_a catholic_n bishop_n 1._o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o shed_v much_o innocent_a blood_n 14._o and_o the_o rest_n have_v be_v consecrate_v and_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o they_o and_o so_o in_o some_o measure_n be_v partaker_n of_o their_o gild_n 8._o and_o it_o be_v not_o fit_v such_o pollute_a hand_n shall_v be_v permit_v to_o minister_n at_o god_n holy_a altar_n for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o law_n bring_v in_o by_o the_o corruption_n of_o late_a time_n whereby_o heretic_n may_v be_v put_v to_o death_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n of_o that_o law_n to_o condemn_v their_o spiritual_a father_n and_o better_a catholic_n than_o themselves_o for_o heretic_n voluntar_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o divine_a and_o canon_n law_n that_o such_o man_n shall_v be_v allow_v to_o exercise_v the_o episcopal_a function_n the_o kingdom_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o set_v they_o aside_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o know_a doctrine_n in_o the_o canon_n law_n and_o roman_a school_n and_o a_o frequent_a practice_n of_o roman_a catholic_n to_o depose_v prince_n and_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n 2._o and_o endeavour_v to_o exterminate_v those_o they_o call_v heretic_n under_o which_o pretence_n many_o prince_n have_v be_v destroy_v many_o rebellion_n and_o tumult_n have_v be_v foment_v much_o innocent_a blood_n have_v be_v spill_v and_o christendom_n have_v be_v a_o miserable_a theatre_n of_o war_n and_o confusion_n these_o bishop_n therefore_o who_o former_o have_v consent_v to_o most_o part_n of_o the_o reformation_n now_o grow_v such_o zealot_n all_o of_o a_o sudden_a and_o refuse_v to_o crown_v the_o queen_n and_o to_o give_v the_o kingdom_n security_n of_o their_o peaceable_a conformity_n to_o the_o government_n compellentur_fw-la by_o take_v the_o oath_n which_o they_o have_v former_o take_v and_o have_v nothing_o to_o except_v against_o give_v just_a reason_n to_o suspect_v they_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o heretical_a doctrine_n of_o depose_v prince_n and_o stir_v up_o rebellion_n to_o exterminate_v the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n that_o will_v not_o comply_v with_o they_o and_o these_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n why_o they_o can_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o have_v care_n of_o the_o people_n soul_n which_o may_v have_v be_v to_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o the_o queen_n and_o kingdom_n for_o it_o be_v notorious_a there_o be_v many_o attempt_v make_v and_o by_o some_o of_o they_o to_o that_o purpose_n and_o the_o pope_n some_o year_n after_o do_v actual_o excommunicate_a and_o depose_v the_o queen_n and_o charge_v all_o man_n under_o a_o anathema_n to_o withdraw_v from_o her_o obedience_n and_o communion_n and_o that_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o present_a schism_n of_o english_a papist_n and_o many_o rebellion_n and_o treason_n among_o we_o 3._o if_o there_o have_v be_v none_o of_o these_o exception_n against_o the_o person_n of_o these_o bishop_n yet_o the_o public_a service_n which_o they_o do_v impose_v will_v justify_v all_o man_n before_o god_n and_o the_o catholic_n church_n for_o not_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o they_o because_o 1._o all_o people_n be_v in_o common_a account_n oblige_v to_o worship_n that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o priest_n hand_n etc._n and_o in_o the_o pix_n with_o divine_a honour_n as_o god_n himself_o when_o we_o have_v reason_n scripture_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o catholic_n tradition_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o worship_v it_o without_o the_o guilt_n of_o idolatry_n while_o they_o be_v of_o that_o mind_n for_o though_o it_o be_v the_o general_a belief_n of_o most_o christian_n ancient_a and_o modern_a that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v very_o and_o indeed_o take_v and_o receive_v by_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o lord_n supper_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o priest_n or_o in_o the_o pix_n for_o our_o saviour_n say_v

the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n do_v partake_v of_o the_o holy_a communion_n in_o both_o

the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o the_o roman_a school_n can_v justify_v our_o disobedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o constant_a tradition_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n 3._o they_o will_v allow_v no_o other_o public_a service_n but_o in_o latin_a which_o people_n general_o do_v not_o nor_o never_o be_v likely_a to_o understand_v contrary_n to_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 14._o these_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n to_o omit_v many_o other_o why_o the_o queen_n and_o kingdom_n shall_v refuse_v to_o receive_v and_o to_o confirm_v those_o popish_a bishop_n and_o consequent_o the_o schism_n that_o be_v make_v be_v whole_o at_o their_o door_n and_o the_o protestant_n in_o join_v with_o the_o reform_a bishop_n do_v nothing_o but_o that_o they_o have_v warrant_v to_o do_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o all_o other_o church_n ought_v to_o endeavour_v in_o a_o christian_a and_o peaceable_n manner_n to_o reform_v these_o and_o other_o abuse_n as_o we_o have_v do_v the_o three_o argument_n that_o archbishop_n parker_n and_o all_o his_o associate_n and_o consequent_o all_o who_o adhere_v to_o he_o or_o adhere_v
