by_o he_o on_o that_o public_a and_o charitable_a design_n as_o the_o land_n they_o call_v commons_o be_v leave_v to_o certain_a parish_n who_o be_v never_o to_o be_v fence_v in_o for_o private_a

it_o come_v to_o he_o nor_o a_o good_a receipt_n the_o worse_o because_o it_o be_v give_v he_o by_o another_o and_o not_o find_v out_o by_o himself_o and_o therefore_o since_o you_o now_o find_v yourself_o infect_v with_o a_o foul_a malignant_a inclination_n to_o popery_n and_o since_o i_o can_v here_o give_v you_o a_o sovereign_a medicine_n against_o it_o never_o trouble_v yourself_o to_o examine_v who_o find_v it_o out_o where_o the_o drug_n grow_v or_o from_o whence_o they_o come_v or_o from_o who_o i_o have_v they_o so_o they_o can_v cure_v you_o and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o can_v true_o say_v that_o what_o i_o have_v take_v out_o of_o doctor_n tillotson_n sermon_n be_v not_o to_o show_v my_o own_o good_a read_n but_o to_o set_v out_o your_o bad_a religion_n which_o be_v chief_o make_v up_o of_o ceremony_n and_o show_n but_o the_o papist_n bid_v the_o protestant_a heretic_n hold_v their_o prate_n for_o they_o have_v a_o argument_n and_o a_o questio_fw-la that_o be_v able_a to_o knock_v they_o all_o in_o the_o head_n sure_a they_o mean_v only_o such_o a_o have_v no_o brain_n in_o they_o their_o argument_n be_v as_o very_o common_a as_o it_o be_v high_o irrational_a which_o be_v this_o the_o protestant_a church_n hold_v a_o papist_n may_v be_v save_v the_o roman_a church_n deny_v that_o a_o protestant_n can_v therefore_o it_o be_v wise_a and_o more_o safe_a to_o be_v of_o that_o church_n to_o which_o salvation_n be_v grant_v on_o both_o side_n but_o this_o be_v a_o weak_a sophistical_a kind_n of_o reason_v and_o only_o fit_a to_o take_v such_o as_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o then_o donatist_n that_o hold_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o catholic_n be_v not_o good_a and_o the_o catholic_n that_o hold_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o donatist_n be_v good_a shall_v make_v it_o reasonable_a to_o infer_v that_o therefore_o st._n austin_n and_o the_o other_o catholic_n ought_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n to_o have_v go_v and_o be_v re_fw-mi baptize_v by_o the_o donatist_n because_o both_o side_n acknowledge_v their_o baptism_n to_o be_v good_a st._n paul_n also_o own_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n though_o with_o great_a difficulty_n to_o those_o who_o build_v with_o straw_n and_o stubble_n on_o the_o fowdation_n of_o christianity_n that_o be_v who_o build_v upon_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o observance_n but_o they_o deny_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o st._n paul_n and_o his_o follower_n say_v unless_o they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v so_o that_o by_o this_o worthy_a argument_n st._n paul_n and_o his_o follower_n aught_o to_o have_v go_v over_o to_o those_o judaize_v christian_n because_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o both_o side_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v but_o st._n paul_n be_v too_o wise_a to_o leave_v a_o certain_a way_n of_o salvation_n only_o for_o a_o mere_a possibility_n of_o be_v save_v their_o question_n be_v a_o twin-brother_n in_o ignorance_n to_o this_o their_o argument_n for_o the_o papist_n ask_v the_o protestant_n where_o be_v their_o church_n before_o luther_n who_o answer_n where_o their_o church_n be_v never_o since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n in_o the_o bible_n where_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o papist_n will_v find_v none_o of_o the_o council_n twelve_o new_a

just_o style_v it_o call_v transubstantiation_n and_o the_o reason_n the_o reverend_a doctor_n name_v it_o unchristian_a be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o undermine_v the_o very_a

they_o after_o his_o death_n which_o they_o confirm_v by_o a_o infallible_a testimony_n which_o the_o papist_n will_v not_o allow_v as_o such_o because_o they_o will_v believe_v no_o infallibility_n out_o of_o their_o own_o church_n that_o they_o themselves_o be_v eye_n witness_n both_o to_o his_o miracle_n and_o resurrection_n so_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o rely_v on_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o sense_n for_o if_o the_o apostle_n eye_n have_v fail_v they_o than_o they_o be_v not_o sure_o they_o see_v his_o miracle_n or_o himself_o after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o then_o the_o main_a assurance_n of_o christ_n be_v rise_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o all_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n be_v bury_v with_o he_o in_o his_o grave_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o

buisiness_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o fair_a issue_n if_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v trust_v than_o transubstantiation_n be_v false_a and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v

be_v rise_v farther_o grant_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o divine_a revelation_n and_o that_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n must_v be_v necessary_o take_v in_o a_o strict_a literal_a

and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n give_v it_o for_o one_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n that_o the_o sense_n be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v as_o the_o apostle_n must_v do_v if_o
