particular_n consider_v the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o any_o sect_n of_o it_o whatsoever_o can_v be_v esteem_v the_o true_a christian_a religion_n sir_n answ_n 32_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o know_v the_o protestant_a religion_n divide_v into_o any_o sect_n we_o all_o believe_v the_o same_o creed_n we_o all_o hold_v the_o same_o foundation_n and_o article_n of_o faith_n we_o all_o hold_v the_o scripture_n the_o only_a judge_n of_o controversy_n which_o because_o you_o deny_v and_o decline_v we_o think_v that_o man_n imprudent_a who_o desert_n the_o protestant_n to_o turn_v roman_a and_o he_o prudent_a that_o desert_n the_o roman_a to_o turn_v protestant_a since_o there_o be_v but_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n for_o a_o unlearned_a man_n in_o the_o roman_a because_o it_o depend_v upon_o human_a authority_n in_o the_o protestant_n there_o be_v a_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n for_o unlearned_a and_o learned_a because_o it_o depend_v upon_o divine_a authority_n and_o therefore_o a_o true_a christian_n church_n and_o religion_n hence_o i_o press_v further_o quest_n 32_o whether_o the_o prove_v that_o protestant_a religion_n can_v be_v prudent_o choose_v or_o retain_v by_o any_o unlearned_a person_n who_o be_v sufficient_o inform_v of_o the_o eminent_a authority_n propound_v the_o roman_a religion_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o they_o that_o no_o sect_n among_o they_o in_o any_o point_n wherein_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o roman_a have_v either_o any_o solid_a ground_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o true_a relation_n to_o god_n holy_a spirit_n or_o coherence_n with_o true_a religion_n see_v a_o religion_n which_o can_v by_v they_o be_v prudent_o choose_v can_v possible_o proceed_v from_o any_o of_o these_o three_o whatsoever_o fair_a show_n protestant_n each_o respective_o to_o his_o several_a sect_n make_v vain_o of_o they_o sir_n all_o these_o be_v but_o word_n answ_n 33_o and_o you_o do_v still_o supponere_fw-la not_z supponenda_fw-la for_o that_o religion_n may_v be_v prudent_o choose_v who_o rule_n of_o faith_n be_v certain_a but_o such_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o protestant_a religion_n as_o be_v ultimate_v and_o determine_v in_o and_o by_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o the_o protestant_a religion_n may_v be_v prudent_o choose_v again_o that_o religion_n can_v be_v prudent_o choose_v who_o authority_n propose_v it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o such_o be_v the_o authority_n propound_v the_o present_a roman_a religion_n as_o be_v human_a whether_o pope_n or_o council_n therefore_o the_o roman_a present_a religion_n can_v prudent_o be_v choose_v again_o that_o religion_n may_v prudent_o be_v choose_v which_o have_v true_a relation_n to_o god_n holy_a spirit_n but_o the_o protestant_a religion_n have_v such_o relation_n therefore_o the_o protestant_a religion_n may_v prudent_o be_v choose_v for_o there_o be_v a_o true_a relation_n betwixt_o god_n holy_a spirit_n and_o god_n holy_a word_n because_o god_n holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o author_n of_o god_n holy_a word_n i_o need_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o three_o because_o coherence_n with_o true_a reason_n follow_v either_o of_o the_o former_a and_o upon_o this_o i_o demand_v yet_o further_o quest_n 34_o whether_o the_o roman_a doctor_n have_v any_o obligation_n to_o urge_v any_o other_o argument_n than_o this_o either_o from_o scripture_n father_n or_o reason_n against_o protestant_n till_o they_o have_v clear_v their_o religion_n from_o the_o impeachment_n of_o imprudence_n commit_v by_o their_o follower_n in_o the_o election_n of_o it_o or_o persist_v in_o it_o as_o be_v afore_o declare_v sir_n answ_n 34_o your_o afore_o declaration_n have_v prove_v little_a and_o your_o present_n prove_v less_o though_o i_o confess_v your_o roman_a doctor_n have_v no_o far_a obligation_n to_o urge_v any_o other_o argument_n than_o scripture_n father_n or_o reason_n against_o protestant_n urge_v either_o of_o they_o to_o purpose_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o clear_v our_o religion_n from_o the_o impeachment_n of_o imprudence_n that_o we_o will_v confess_v it_o be_v the_o only_a prudence_n in_o the_o

the_o rule_n of_o prudence_n to_o be_v embrace_v but_o such_o be_v the_o protestant_a religion_n therefore_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o prudence_n the_o protestant_a religion_n ought_v to_o be_v embrace_v or_o if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o per_fw-la contraria_fw-la take_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o imprudence_n to_o embrace_v that_o religion_n which_o have_v be_v convince_v from_o

unlearned_a person_n to_o desert_n the_o protestant_n and_o embrace_v the_o roman_a religion_n than_o this_o imprudence_n in_o adhere_v to_o the_o protestant_n and_o of_o prudence_n in_o unite_n themselves_o to_o the_o roman_a church_n so_o long_o as_o the_o say_v unlearned_a protestant_n persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o proceed_v prudent_o in_o prefer_v their_o own_o before_o the_o roman_a see_v this_o erroneous_a persuasion_n be_v the_o first_o step_n which_o must_v be_v redress_v in_o relinquish_a the_o one_o and_o the_o contrary_a persuasion_n the_o first_o step_n which_o must_v be_v fix_v in_o approach_v to_o the_o other_o now_o when_o unlearned_a protestant_n once_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v convince_v in_o this_o and_o thereupon_o recede_v from_o protestancy_n but_o object_n that_o the_o prudentiall_a motive_n to_o prefer_v the_o roman_a religion_n before_o the_o protestant_n as_o they_o conceive_v that_o the_o protestant_n be_v whole_o improbable_a and_o so_o to_o be_v desert_v so_o they_o convince_v no_o more_o then_o that_o the_o roman_a be_v probable_a and_o so_o it_o be_v great_a likelihood_n to_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n but_o convince_v not_o that_o it_o be_v so_o much_o as_o moral_o certain_a to_o protestant_n bring_v thus_o far_o there_o be_v a_o obligation_n put_v upon_o the_o roman_a doctor_n to_o prove_v at_o least_o the_o moral_a certainty_n of_o it_o to_o such_o as_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v moral_o certain_a that_o the_o roman_a re-religion_n be_v the_o sole_a true_a save_a religion_n but_o deny_v notwithstanding_o that_o it_o thereby_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v infallible_o certain_a rises_z a_o obligation_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v infallible_o certain_a and_o when_o one_o be_v once_o convince_v of_o this_o also_o but_o yet_o doubt_n whether_o this_o infallibility_n be_v divine_a and_o so_o the_o high_a of_o all_o infallibility_n there_o will_v be_v also_o a_o obligation_n to_o show_v to_o such_o as_o be_v bring_v on_o so_o far_o the_o most_o high_a divine_a infallibility_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n hence_o therefore_o i_o demand_v whether_o our_o late_a protestant_n and_o socinian_o proceed_v not_o preposterous_o and_o unreasonable_o in_o press_v roman_a doctor_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o divine_a infallibility_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n before_o they_o themselves_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v infallible_a in_o any_o degree_n or_o moral_o certain_a or_o probable_a or_o prudential_a for_o though_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o prove_v all_o these_o particular_n in_o their_o due_a circumstance_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o prove_v they_o all_o at_o once_o to_o every_o adversary_n but_o by_o degree_n the_o one_o in_o order_n
