A63629	A letter to the misrepresenter of papists being a vindication of that part of the Protestant preface to the Wholesome advices from the Blessed Virgin, &c. which concerns the Protestants charity to papists, and a layman's writing it : in answer to what is objected against it in the 4th chapter of the second part of the Papist misrepresented, &c. / by the same layman who translated the Wholesome advices, &c. and made the preface to them.	Taylor, James, fl. 1687-1689.	1687 (1687)	Wing T285; ESTC R39707	11,353	19

your_o task_n will_v be_v still_o behind_o which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o you_o have_v have_v all_o along_o and_o still_o have_v that_o succession_n which_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o do_v in_o your_o next_o if_o you_o can_v if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o a_o layman_n that_o desire_v to_o be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n necessary_a or_o even_o profitable_a for_o his_o salvation_n and_o because_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o lose_v your_o labour_n i_o will_v open_v my_o great_a difficulty_n against_o this_o belief_n i_o be_o sure_a you_o can_v go_v about_o this_o work_n without_o take_v scripture_n in_o to_o furnish_v out_o your_o argument_n now_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o bring_v i_o such_o scripture_n which_o shall_v at_o least_o make_v it_o as_o evident_a that_o your_o church_n be_v always_o to_o have_v a_o succession_n of_o infallible_a teacher_n as_o it_o be_v to_o i_o from_o divers_a other_o scripture_n evident_a that_o your_o pastor_n have_v most_o certain_o contradict_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v this_o you_o shall_v hear_v far_o from_o i_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n your_o loose_a affirmation_n concern_v the_o catholic_n church_n have_v be_v so_o often_o answer_v that_o you_o need_v not_o wonder_v that_o a_o layman_n of_o our_o church_n can_v tell_v what_o to_o say_v to_o they_o but_o to_o come_v to_o that_o wherein_o i_o be_o particular_o concern_v you_o be_v disturb_v at_o my_o say_n that_o the_o worship_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v so_o extreme_o dangerous_a that_o nothing_o but_o invincible_a ignorance_n of_o which_o god_n only_o can_v judge_v can_v give_v we_o any_o reasonable_a hope_n of_o their_o salvation_n who_o live_v and_o die_v in_o that_o communion_n now_o sure_o the_o uncharitableness_n of_o this_o do_v not_o lie_v in_o suppose_v that_o invincible_a ignorance_n will_v be_v pleadable_a in_o this_o case_n for_o it_o be_v a_o plea_n which_o will_v go_v a_o great_a way_n among_o those_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n which_o i_o say_v with_o the_o more_o confidence_n because_o in_o the_o romish_a country_n where_o i_o have_v be_v the_o people_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o have_v the_o fair_a claim_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o ignorance_n that_o can_v be_v well_o imagine_v among_o christian_n now_o since_o at_o last_o you_o be_v bring_v in_o this_o pamphlet_n of_o you_o to_o agree_v with_o protestant_n that_o ignorance_n will_v save_v man_n and_o that_o we_o yield_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o people_n have_v a_o indisputable_a right_n to_o it_o be_v not_o the_o protestant_n charitable_a to_o a_o high_a degree_n if_o this_o will_v not_o please_v you_o i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o will._n surely_n sir_n you_o do_v not_o expect_v that_o protestant_n shall_v believe_v and_o say_v that_o you_o with_o all_o your_o error_n about_o you_o be_v in_o as_o safe_a a_o way_n to_o salvation_n as_o they_o themselves_o who_o have_v renounce_v they_o if_o this_o can_v be_v what_o i_o pray_v you_o make_v our_o forefather_n suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o your_o communion_n or_o make_v we_o that_o we_o can_v join_v with_o you_o certain_o this_o be_v and_o be_v still_o nothing_o but_o want_n of_o sound_a faith_n purity_n of_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n and_o i_o know_v nothing_o else_o can_v or_o ever_o be_v pretend_v to_o justify_v our_o separation_n and_o this_o alone_a one_o will_v think_v may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o vindicate_v my_o assertion_n from_o be_v uncharitable_a but_o perhaps_o i_o may_v do_v it_o more_o by_o and_o by_o but_o you_o will_v tell_v i_o that_o nevertheless_o protestant_n be_v as_o uncharitable_a as_o papist_n and_o come_v not_o a_o ace_n behind_o they_o indeed_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o sorry_a this_o be_v true_a and_o though_o it_o be_v i_o know_v a_o untoward_a question_n to_o papist_n yet_o i_o must_v ask_v how_o do_v you_o prove_v this_o sir_n why_o thus_o protestant_n only_o allow_v salvation_n to_o papist_n upon_o invincible_a ignorance_n and_o papist_n do_v the_o same_o to_o protestant_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o in_o this_o paper_n of_o you_o you_o grant_v salvation_n to_o protestant_n who_o live_v pious_o and_o repent_v sincere_o of_o all_o offence_n and_o through_o invincible_a ignorance_n remain_v in_o that_o communion_n now_o whatever_o truth_n there_o be_v in_o the_o say_v itself_o yet_o from_o you_o we_o look_v upon_o this_o concession_n as_o a_o piece_n of_o new_a popery_n the_o old_a popery_n be_v protestancy_n unrepented_a of_o damn_n neither_o invincible_a ignorance_n nor_o piety_n nor_o any_o repentance_n that_o include_v not_o a_o leave_v the_o protestant_n communion_n and_o join_v with_o the_o romish_a can_v save_o but_o here_o we_o take_v notice_n that_o of_o this_o as_o well_o as_o of_o all_o the_o other_o unreasonable_a piece_n of_o old_a popery_n you_o begin_v at_o last_o to_o

i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o incline_v to_o believe_v the_o new_a to_o be_v best_a but_o certain_o the_o old_a popery_n be_v the_o true_a stand_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o

that_o protestant_n grant_v a_o possibility_n of_o it_o to_o papist_n remain_v such_o and_o therefore_o by_o consequence_n the_o first_o must_v needs_o

be_v on_o the_o uncharitable_a and_o the_o last_o on_o the_o charitable_a side_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v do_v by_o show_v that_o our_o charity_n be_v so_o great_a to_o the_o papist_n and_o their_o want_n of_o it_o so_o apparent_a to_o we_o that_o they_o have_v abuse_v it_o into_o a_o argument_n against_o we_o and_o this_o be_v so_o notorious_o true_a that_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o boast_v of_o it_o in_o their_o write_n and_o conversation_n think_v thereby_o to_o draw_v weak_a person_n that_o can_v consider_v where_o the_o ch●at_a of_o the_o argument_n lie_v to_o be_v of_o

beauty_n and_o form_n of_o christian_a religion_n viz._n charity_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o constant_o and_o large_o maintain_v and_o practice_n but_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o you_o protestant_n confess_v salvation_n may_v be_v have_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n but_o we_o papist_n utter_o deny_v it_o to_o you_o therefore_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o both_o side_n those_o that_o be_v in_o our_o church_n be_v safe_a but_o there_o be_v great_a question_n concern_v protestant_n remain_v such_o for_o none_o but_o themselves_o say_v they_o can_v be_v save_v what_o think_v you_o now_o sir_n of_o the_o protestant_n charity_n and_o the_o papist_n want_v of_o it_o be_v here_o any_o provision_n make_v for_o poor_a protestant_n by_o invincible_a ignorance_n if_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o protestant_o have_v some_o charity_n for_o papist_n and_o they_o none_o at_o all_o for_o we_o protestant_n i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o can_v and_o that_o you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o thing_n and_o this_o argument_n so_o common_o use_v by_o your_o man_n when_o they_o will_v deceive_v the_o well_o mean_v people_n of_o our_o church_n you_o must_v excuse_v i_o if_o i_o can_v believe_v it_o with_o what_o face_n then_o sir_n can_v you_o tell_v the_o gape_a multitude_n as_o you_o think_v fit_a to_o call_v the_o poor_a honest_a people_n that_o papist_n do_v

who_o be_v the_o injurious_a slanderer_n and_o who_o be_v it_o that_o render_v the_o papist_n black_a and_o odions_a for_o their_o uncharitableness_n but_o the_o papist_n themselves_o certain_o sir_n if_o your_o eyesight_n have_v not_o be_v horrible_o indispose_v with_o the_o malignant_a influence_n of_o rome_n you_o will_v have_v see_v that_o the_o unchristian_a damner_n be_v the_o papist_n only_o for_o shame_n learn_v though_o late_o to_o maintain_v your_o cause_n by_o truth_n and_o charity_n or_o let_v it_o perish_v but_o i_o foresee_v that_o you_o may_v take_v it_o a_o little_a ill_n
