A15739	A trial of the Romish clergies title to the Church by way of answer to a popish pamphlet written by one A.D. and entituled A treatise of faith, wherein is briefly and plainly shewed a direct way, by which euery man may resolue and settle his mind in all doubts, questions and controuersies, concerning matters of faith. By Antonie Wotton. In the end you haue three tables: one of the texts of Scripture expounded or alledged in this booke: another of the testimonies of ancient and later writers, with a chronologie of the times in which they liued: a third of the chiefe matters contained in the treatise and answer.

that_o therefore_o of_o this_o part_n per_fw-la synecdochen_n the_o whole_a may_v be_v term_v holy_a especial_o consider_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o part_n which_o be_v a_o principal_a root_n out_o of_o which_o their_o holiness_n do_v spring_n be_v all_o one_o in_o substance_n with_o the_o faith_n which_o we_o all_o profess_v and_o therefore_o we_o may_v say_v that_o our_o faith_n and_o profession_n incline_v &_o lead_v to_o the_o same_o holiness_n of_o life_n that_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o though_o many_o through_o their_o own_o fault_n fail_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o virtue_n and_o holiness_n yet_o our_o profession_n be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o profession_n of_o these_o holy_a man_n be_v to_o be_v term_v holy_a as_o they_o be_v of_o which_o holy_a profession_n in_o some_o sort_n all_o our_o whole_a company_n may_v be_v call_v holy_a as_o of_o the_o art_n of_o paint_v or_o any_o other_o art_n all_o that_o profess_v they_o be_v common_o term_v by_o a_o name_n proper_a to_o their_o profession_n though_o it_o happen_v that_o diverse_a of_o they_o be_v not_o very_o skilful_a nor_o do_v not_o much_o exercise_n his_o art_n and_o from_o hence_o rise_v the_o second_o difference_n betwixt_o protestant_n and_o we_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o very_a doctrine_n itself_o which_o protestant_n teach_v do_v as_o i_o show_v before_o induce_v man_n to_o liberty_n and_o consequent_o to_o lewd_a life_n whereas_o the_o roman_a faith_n which_o we_o profess_v both_o express_o for_o bid_v all_o vice_n &_o prescribe_v law_n contrary_a to_o liberty_n and_o looseness_n of_o life_n and_o contain_v most_o sovereign_a mean_n to_o incite_v and_o move_v a_o man_n to_o all_o perfect_a virtue_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n as_o for_o example_n it_o teach_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o prescience_n or_o predestination_n of_o almighty_a god_n man_n have_v free_a will_n wherewith_o be_v aid_v by_o god_n grace_n which_o grace_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n be_v ready_a for_o all_o that_o with_o humble_a devout_a and_o perseverant_fw-la prayer_n will_v ask_v and_o by_o frequent_v in_o due_a sort_n the_o holy_a sacrament_n will_v seek_v for_o it_o he_o may_v avoid_v sin_n and_o embrace_v virtue_n the_o which_o take_v away_o despair_n of_o shun_v evil_a and_o do_v well_o which_o easy_o follow_v of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n it_o

have_v who_o persuade_v himself_o that_o god_n commandment_n be_v unpossible_a to_o be_v observe_v as_o i_o show_v before_o again_o it_o teach_v that_o as_o a_o man_n may_v by_o grace_n avoid_v sin_n and_o easy_o keep_v god_n commandment_n and_o by_o do_v good_a work_n live_v well_o so_o this_o good_a life_n be_v please_v and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o these_o good_a work_n as_o proceed_v from_o grace_n and_o receive_v virtue_n from_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n of_o which_o this_o grace_n do_v depend_v be_v meritorious_a &_o such_o for_o reward_v whereof_o god_n will_v give_v to_o they_o that_o perseverant_o do_v they_o everlasting_a bliss_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o which_o doctrine_n will_v doubtless_o if_o it_o be_v due_o consider_v breed_v in_o a_o man_n mind_n great_a love_n and_o delight_n to_o do_v well_o as_o the_o contrary_n must_v needs_o breed_v at_o least_o a_o coldness_n in_o devotion_n if_o not_o a_o contempt_n and_o loathe_n of_o good_a deed_n and_o special_o of_o those_o good_a deed_n which_o have_v any_o difficulty_n annex_v to_o they_o it_o teach_v also_o that_o for_o sinner_n be_v prepare_v exceed_v great_a punishment_n in_o the_o next_o life_n and_o that_o though_o there_o be_v mean_n in_o the_o church_n to_o get_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o pardon_v of_o the_o pain_n yet_o it_o teach_v that_o a_o man_n can_v ordinary_o be_v absolute_o certain_a that_o he_o have_v so_o use_v those_o mean_n as_o that_o he_o have_v thereby_o get_v that_o remission_n or_o pardon_n which_o be_v a_o great_a motive_n to_o make_v man_n wary_a not_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o to_o move_v they_o cum_fw-la metu_fw-la &_o tremore_fw-la operari_fw-la salutem_fw-la with_o fear_n &_o tremble_v to_o work_v their_o salvation_n whereas_o 2._o protestant_n upon_o suppose_a certainty_n of_o salvation_n cast_v away_o this_o wholesome_a fear_n and_o so_o may_v easy_o become_v careless_a of_o avoid_v any_o sin_n furthermore_o it_o prescribe_v wholesome_a law_n and_o custom_n of_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o of_o other_o exercise_n of_o virtue_n and_o piety_n whereby_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n to_o god_n it_o maintain_v also_o secret_a confession_n of_o sin_n to_o a_o priest_n as_o be_v a_o thing_n necessary_a and_o command_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o the_o which_o both_o be_v a_o great_a bridle_n to_o hold_v man_n back_o from_o sin_n as_o experience_n teach_v and_o be_v a_o special_a mean_n whereby_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n know_v the_o inward_a conscience_n of_o their_o flock_n may_v better_o apply_v fit_a remedy_n to_o their_o spiritual_a disease_n and_o prescribe_v to_o every_o one_o fit_a exercise_n for_o their_o practice_n and_o progress_n in_o virtue_n final_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o church_n be_v such_o that_o even_o simple_a protestant_n when_o they_o see_v any_o catholic_a do_v a_o thing_n amiss_o will_v ordinary_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o do_v thus_o or_o a_o man_n of_o your_o profession_n shall_v do_v otherwise_o so_o that_o those_o which_o be_v sinful_a in_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v in_o any_o sort_n ascribe_v their_o sin_n to_o any_o defect_n or_o perversitie_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n but_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o frailty_n or_o malice_n contrary_a to_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o church_n and_o sometime_o even_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o actual_a knowledge_n wherefore_o i_o may_v conclude_v that_o although_o there_o be_v some_o sinful_a man_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n yet_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v holy_a because_o the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o believe_v and_o profess_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n incline_v and_o direct_v a_o man_n to_o the_o true_a holiness_n and_o consequent_o be_v of_o itself_o holy_a and_o also_o because_o there_o be_v many_o holy_a person_n in_o it_o some_o of_o which_o be_v certain_o know_v in_o particular_a to_o be_v such_o by_o proof_n of_o miracle_n other_o be_v only_o know_v by_o this_o probable_a reason_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o be_v hold_v by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v certain_o know_v be_v holy_a man_n and_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n since_o none_o be_v true_o holy_a or_o can_v possible_o please_v god_n without_o the_o right_a faith_n which_o be_v but_o one_o they_o have_v in_o they_o a_o root_n out_o of_o which_o true_a holiness_n be_v apt_a to_o spring_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v no_o apparent_a evil_a fruit_n whereby_o we_o may_v discover_v some_o evil_a root_n but_o only_o good_a which_o be_v apt_a to_o spring_v of_o this_o good_a root_n and_o especial_o when_o we_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o good_a work_n to_o be_v conformable_a and_o like_a to_o the_o work_n of_o those_o which_o be_v know_v saint_n we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o judge_v that_o they_o also_o be_v just_a man_n and_o in_o some_o sort_n holy_a if_o not_o perfect_o saint_n sith_o therefore_o many_o man_n which_o have_v be_v and_o be_v member_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v be_v &_o be_v know_v either_o by_o absolute_a proof_n of_o miracle_n or_o at_o least_o in_o this_o other_o manner_n to_o be_v holy_a of_o these_o as_o of_o the_o better_a more_o worthy_a and_o principal_a part_n the_o whole_a may_v be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o term_v holy_a as_o a_o tree_n that_o have_v a_o root_n apt_a to_o give_v life_n to_o the_o branch_n some_o
