A03334	The first motiue of T.H. Maister of Arts, and lately minister, to suspect the integrity of his religion which was detection of falsehood in D. Humfrey, D. Field, & other learned protestants, touching the question of purgatory, and prayer for the dead. VVith his particular considerations perswading him to embrace the Catholick doctrine in theis, and other points. An appendix intituled, try before you trust. Wherein some notable vntruths of D. Field, and D. Morton are discouered.	Higgons, Theophilus, 1578?-1659.	1609 (1609)	STC 13454; ESTC S104083	165,029	276

that_o whereas_o tradition_n have_v a_o quadruple_a distinction_n first_o from_o their_o author_n into_o divine_a apostolical_a and_o ecclesiastical_a second_o from_o their_o matter_n into_o

to_o god_n at_o his_o altar_n the_o commendation_n of_o the_o dead_a have_v its_o place_n 4._o here_o three_o thing_n occur_v unto_o my_o ponderation_n first_o that_o s._n augustine_n do_v justify_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a by_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n for_o so_o the_o book_n of_o the_o maccabee_n be_v recognize_v by_o a_o 47._o a_o 3._o carthag_n ca._n 47._o council_n wherein_o s._n

testimony_n of_o sacred_a writ_n and_o this_o be_v so_o how_o can_v it_o be_v true_a that_o augustine_n can_v not_o plead_v this_o authority_n in_o defence_n thereof_o and_o if_o he_o do_v plead_v it_o why_o do_v d._n humphrey_n pretend_v the_o contrary_a in_o this_o place_n 5._o second_o s._n augustine_n make_v mention_v here_o of_o the_o old_a scripture_n whereby_o he_o intimate_v that_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n some_o relief_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v either_o plain_o express_v or_o sufficient_o etc._n sufficient_o see_v before_o pag._n ●_o etc._n etc._n deduce_v from_o thence_o three_o s._n augustine_n adjoin_v the_o church_n unto_o the_o scripture_n &_o because_o there_o be_v impeachable_a sovereignty_n in_o the_o universal_a church_n therefore_o he_o say_v that_o if_o other_o proof_n be_v want_v in_o this_o matter_n yet_o this_o alone_a may_v satisfy_v &_o give_v contentment_n unto_o her_o obsequious_a child_n which_o plea_n seem_v unto_o i_o so_o full_a of_o

§._o 2._o a_o other_o of_o his_o unfaithful_a practice_n against_o s._n augustine_n saint_n augustine_n make_v mention_n in_o the_o former_a sentence_n of_o a_o commendation_n of_o the_o dead_a from_o
