A00791	An answer to a pamphlet, intituled: The Fisher catched in his owne net In vvhich, by the vvay, is shevved, that the Protestant Church was not so visible, in al ages, as the true Church ought to be: and consequently, is not the true Church. Of which, men may learne infallible faith, necessarie to saluation. By A.C.	A.

posteriori_fw-la be_v more_o demonstrative_a than_o a_o priori_fw-la m._n fisher_n do_v not_o speak_v perhaps_o he_o may_v say_v that_o a_o proof_n a_o posteriori_fw-la do_v better_a demonstrate_v

property_n be_v to_o convince_v the_o understanding_n as_o it_o be_v not_o a_o probable_a or_o moral_a persuasion_n for_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o no_o wise_a man_n not_o already_o possess_v with_o protestant_a opinion_n will_n or_o can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o moral_o convince_v or_o in_o any_o sort_n probable_o persuade_v by_o it_o that_o protestant_n be_v the_o true_a visible_a church_n more_o than_o a_o man_n in_o case_n of_o doubt_n can_v be_v by_o the_o like_a argument_n which_o a_o man_n may_v make_v to_o prove_v himself_o and_o his_o brethren_n to_o be_v as_o well_o speak_v of_o as_o any_o in_o all_o the_o parish_n thus_o those_o who_o be_v in_o heart_n true_a honest_a man_n be_v as_o well_o speak_v of_o as_o any_o in_o all_o the_o parish_n but_o i_o and_o my_o brethren_n be_v in_o heart_n true_a honest_a man_n ergo_fw-la as_o this_o proof_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v any_o man_n not_o partial_o affect_v to_o believe_v these_o man_n to_o be_v well_o speak_v of_o

most_o certain_o true_a proposition_n the_o mayor_n in_o this_o latter_a sense_n be_v false_a for_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o church_n or_o company_n who_o may_v have_v inward_a faith_n eternal_a

be_v false_a also_o for_o the_o protestant_a church_n have_v not_o the_o true_a primitive_a faith_n neither_o be_v that_o faith_n they_o have_v unchanged_a but_o so_o often_o change_v and_o so_o

then_o indeed_o the_o mayor_n be_v true_a but_o the_o minor_n be_v most_o false_a and_o so_o the_o argument_n be_v far_o from_o be_v a_o demonstration_n especial_o when_o it_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v magis_fw-la no●um_fw-la per_fw-la ignotius_fw-la viz._n the_o visibilitie_n which_o be_v easy_o know_v by_o the_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n which_o be_v more_o hard_a to_o be_v know_v especial_o by_o only_a scripture_n of_o the_o sense_n whereof_o according_a to_o protestant_n who_o say_v the_o whole_a church_n may_v err_v no_o particulat_v man_n can_v be_v infallible_o sure_a for_o if_o the_o

a_o paper_n show_v brief_o and_o plain_o how_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v so_o visible_a in_o all_o age_n as_o that_o the_o name_n of_o some_o principal_a member_n thereof_o in_o every_o age_n may_v be_v show_v out_o of_o good_a author_n a_o true_a copy_n of_o which_o paper_n i_o think_v fit_a here_o to_o set_v down_o in_o regard_v it_o may_v serve_v other_o as_o well_o as_o this_o old_a gentleman_n to_o understand_v why_o catholic_n do_v ordinary_o so_o much_o press_v protestant_n to_o name_n if_o they_o can_v protestant_n professor_n in_o all_o age_n as_o catholic_n do_v in_o print_a book_n ordinary_o set_v down_o a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o chief_a pastor_n and_o other_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o catholic_a roman_a church_n in_o all_o age_n a_o copy_n of_o the_o first_o paper_n which_o m._n fisher_n write_v and_o deliver_v to_o the_o old_a gentleman_n before_o the_o meeting_n 1._o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v one_o and_o but_o one_o true_a infallible_a 11._o faith_n without_o which_o none_o can_v please_v god_n nor_o consequent_o attain_v eternal_a salnation_n 2._o this_o one_o infallible_a faith_n can_v be_v have_v according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o god_n providence_n but_o 11._o by_o hear_v preacher_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n who_o only_o be_v lawful_o send_v and_o authorize_v to_o teach_v the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n 3._o as_o therefore_o this_o one_o infallible_a faith_n have_v be_v and_o must_v be_v in_o all_o age_n so_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o all_o age_n preacher_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o true_a visible_a 11._o church_n of_o who_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n have_v in_o time_n past_a as_o appear_v by_o history_n learned_a and_o must_v in_o all_o future_a time_n learn_v the_o say_v infallible_a truth_n 4._o hence_o follow_v that_o if_o protestant_n be_v the_o true_a visible_a church_n of_o christ_n all_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o in_o every_o age_n have_v have_v the_o aforesaid_a infallible_a faith_n have_v learn_v it_o by_o hear_v protestant_n preacher_n who_o name_n may_v yet_o be_v find_v in_o history_n as_o the_o name_n of_o those_o be_v find_v who_o in_o every_o former_a age_n do_v teach_v and_o convert_v people_n of_o several_a nation_n unto_o the_o faith_n of_o christ._n 5._o hence_o further_o follow_v that_o if_o there_o can_v as_o there_o can_v be_v find_v in_o history_n name_n of_o protestant_a preacher_n who_o in_o all_o age_n do_v teach_v all_o sort_n of_o faithful_a people_n and_o who_o convert_v several_a nation_n unto_o the_o christian_a faith_n hence_o follow_v i_o say_v that_o protestant_n be_v not_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n of_o christ_n neither_o be_v their_o preacher_n lawful_o send_v or_o sufficient_o authorize_v to_o teach_v nor_o people_n secure_o warrant_v to_o learn_v of_o they_o that_o one_o infallible_a faith_n without_o which_o none_o can_v possible_o please_v god_n nor_o if_o they_o so_o live_v and_o die_v be_v save_v if_o any_o protestant_n will_v answer_v let_v he_o set_v down_o name_n of_o protestant_a preacher_n in_o all_o age_n who_o teach_v people_n protestant_n doctrine_n in_o every_o several_a age_n or_o confess_v there_o be_v no_o such_o before_o luther_n or_o at_o least_o not_o in_o all_o age_n to_o be_v find_v in_o history_n after_o this_o m._n fisher_n let_v the_o old_a gentleman_n see_v a_o little_a print_a book_n in_o which_o be_v a_o catalogue_n of_o visible_a roman_a professor_n in_o all_o age_n wish_v he_o to_o urge_v his_o
