A63840	A defence of the confuter of Bellarmin's Second note of the church, antiquity, against the cavils of the adviser	Tullie, George, 1652?-1695.	1687 (1687)	Wing T3236; ESTC R7422	16,243	26

once_o new_a the_o argument_n will_v with_o equal_a force_n have_v recoil_v upon_o that_o same_o assertion_n of_o he_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o scripture_n or_o if_o bell._n have_v affirm_v only_o that_o the_o church_n be_v true_o ancient_a and_o his_o adversary_n have_v deny_v it_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o its_o former_a newness_n he_o can_v not_o neither_o if_o his_o own_o objection_n be_v good_a have_v right_o affirm_v that_o the_o ss._n be_v the_o true_a antiquity_n but_o who_o can_v discover_v the_o least_o repugnancy_n betwixt_o these_o two_o assertion_n that_o antiquity_n be_v a_o note_n of_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o as_o the_o confuter_n well_o argue_v proper_a to_o it_o and_o inseparable_a from_o it_o which_o yet_o can_v be_v true_a if_o the_o church_n be_v once_o new_a and_o this_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o true_a antiquity_n i._n e._n that_o the_o doctrine_n deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n or_o write_a word_n be_v the_o old_a and_o true_a doctrine_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n thus_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v that_o a_o few_o plain_a word_n will_v unriddle_v great_a mystery_n in_o appearance_n and_o that_o some_o man_n be_v unhappy_o apt_a to_o run_v away_o with_o a_o bare_a jingle_n of_o word_n instead_o of_o harmony_n in_o sense_n in_o the_o four_o remark_n we_o meet_v with_o no_o less_o a_o charge_n than_o that_o of_o a_o contradiction_n and_o that_o be_v a_o bad_a business_n indeed_o in_o so_o narrow_a a_o compass_n of_o page_n but_o where_o have_v this_o starter_n of_o difficulty_n espy_v it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o easy_o discernible_a why_o the_o confuter_n of_o bellarmin_n have_v assert_v absolute_o p._n 42._o that_o antiquity_n be_v not_o a_o proper_a note_n of_o the_o church_n whereas_o p._n 45._o he_o have_v find_v out_o a_o antiquity_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n in_o good_a time_n bellarmin_n use_v the_o word_n equivocal_o either_o for_o that_o which_o be_v ancient_a or_o for_o that_o which_o be_v first_o the_o former_a his_o confuter_n say_v p._n 42._o be_v not_o a_o note_n proper_a to_o the_o church_n but_o that_o the_o latter_a which_o bellarmin_n do_v not_o original_o mean_v by_o his_o note_n of_o antiquity_n though_o he_o be_v force_v to_o run_v into_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n and_o be_v this_o now_o ad_fw-la idem_fw-la and_o if_o not_o where_o be_v the_o contradiction_n if_o discourse_v with_o this_o gentleman_n i_o shall_v own_v myself_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o find_v afterward_o that_o according_a to_o their_o usual_a and_o

contradiction_n for_o shame_n what_o trifle_n be_v this_o i_o think_v some_o sort_n of_o people_n have_v better_a understand_v the_o dubious_a import_n of_o word_n use_v equivocal_o his_o five_o remark_n want_v nothing_o but_o truth_n to_o make_v it_o a_o very_a good_a one_o and_o be_v this_o that_o the_o confuter_n of_o bellarmin_n have_v produce_v a_o citation_n out_o of_o st._n cyprian_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o favour_v his_o own_o cause_n that_o it_o real_o support_v his_o adversary_n and_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n of_o what_o they_o maintain_v and_o he_o oppose_v and_o in_o
