his_o method_n and_o representation_n without_o digresson_n or_o provoke_a reflection_n ii_o but_o i_o must_v declare_v myself_o very_o much_o unsatisfied_a with_o the_o method_n he_o have_v take_v to_o clear_v his_o party_n from_o these_o misrepresentation_n for_o 1._o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o draw_v a_o double_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o in_o the_o one_o he_o pretend_v to_o follow_v a_o certain_a rule_n but_o not_o in_o the_o other_o which_o be_v not_o fair_a and_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o the_o one_o he_o say_v he_o follow_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o their_o allow_a spiritual_a book_n and_o catechism_n and_o we_o find_v no_o fault_n with_o this_o but_o why_o must_v the_o other_o part_n then_o be_v draw_v by_o fancy_n or_o common_a prejudices_fw-la or_o ignorant_a mistake_v have_v we_o no_o rule_n whereby_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o church_n be_v to_o be_v take_v be_v not_o our_o article_n as_o easy_a to_o be_v have_v and_o understand_v as_o the_o

where_o it_o be_v never_o receive_v but_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v why_o our_o representation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o church_n as_o they_o from_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n if_o he_o say_v ●his_v design_n be_v to_o remove_v common_a prejudices_fw-la and_o vulgar_a mistake_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v if_o they_o be_v contra●y_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n we_o utter_o disow_v they_o we_o know_v very_o well_o there_o be_v person_n who_o have_v so_o false_a a_o notion_n of_o popery_n that_o they_o charge_v the_o rite_n and_o custom_n of_o our_o church_n with_o it_o but_o we_o pity_v their_o weakness_n and_o folly_n and_o be_v far_o from_o defend_v such_o misrepresentation_n but_o that_o which_o we_o adhere_v to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o church_n as_o it_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v and_o what_o representation_n be_v make_v agreeable_a thereto_o i_o undertake_v to_o defend_v and_o no_o other_o but_o if_o a_o person_n take_v the_o liberty_n to_o lay_v on_o what_o colour_n he_o please_v on_o one_o side_n it_o will_v be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o take_v they_o off_o in_o the_o other_o and_o then_o to_o say_v how_o much_o fair_a be_v our_o church_n than_o she_o be_v paint_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a but_o not_o so_o allowable_a a_o way_n of_o dispute_v for_o the_o same_o person_n to_o make_v the_o

if_o they_o have_v be_v true_o represent_v they_o will_v be_v find_v very_o lame_a and_o defective_a 2._o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v a_o account_n why_o he_o quote_v no_o author_n for_o his_o

other_o thing_n when_o he_o say_v he_o have_v draw●_n his_o misrepresentation_n exact_o according_a to_o his_o own_o apprehension_n it_o be_v true_a he_o say_v he_o add_v some_o few_o point_n which_o be_v violent_o charge_v on_o he_o by_o his_o friend_n but_o we_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v this_o be_v none_o of_o they_o but_o let_v we_o suppose_v it_o true_a that_o he_o have_v such_o apprehension_n himself_o be_v these_o fit_a to_o be_v print_v as_o the_o character_n of_o a_o party_n what_o will_v they_o say_v to_o we_o if_o a_o spanish_a convert_n shall_v give_v a_o character_n of_o protestant_n according_a to_o the_o common_a opinion_n the_o people_n there_o have_v of_o they_o and_o set_v down_o in_o one_o column_n their_o monstrous_a misrepresentation_n and_o in_o

apprehension_n before_o he_o go_v among_o they_o why_o do_v he_o not_o take_v care_n to_o inform_v himself_o better_a before_o he_o change_v have_v he_o no_o friend_n no_o book_n no_o mean_n to_o

a_o bad_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o change_n 3._o the_o account_n he_o give_v of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o his_o character_n afford_v as_o little_a satisfaction_n for_o although_o in_o the_o general_n it_o be_v well_o that_o he_o pretend_v to_o keep_v to_o a_o rule_n yet_o 1_o he_o show_v no_o authority_n he_o have_v to_o interpret_v that_o rule_n in_o his_o own_o sense_n now_o several_a of_o his_o representation_n depend_v upon_o his_o own_o private_a sense_n and_o opinion_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o many_o other_o as_o zealous_a for_o their_o church_n as_o himself_o and_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o his_o representation_n rather_o than_o to_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n he_o say_v the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n be_v no_o matter_n of_o

no_o authority_n or_o of_o those_o pope_n and_o council_n who_o have_v declare_v it_o and_o act_v by_o it_o and_o can_v any_o man_n of_o their_o church_n justify_v our_o rely_v upon_o his_o word_n against_o the_o declaration_n of_o pope_n and_o council_n but_o suppose_v the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o rule_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n what_o authority_n have_v he_o to_o declare_v it_o when_o tridentini_n the_o pope_n have_v express_o forbid_v all_o prelate_n to_o do_v it_o and_o reserve_v it_o to_o the_o apostolical_a sea_n 2._o he_o leave_v out_o in_o the_o several_a particular_n a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n which_o be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n there_o define_v to_o be_v true_a but_o to_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o this_o in_o his_o representation_n of_o the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n but_o the_o whole_a be_v manage_v as_o though_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o difference_n about_o some_o particular_a opinion_n whereas_o in_o truth_n the_o necessity_n of_o hold_v those_o doctrine_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n be_v the_o main_a point_n in_o difference_n if_o man_n have_v no_o mind_n to_o believe_v their_o own_o sense_n we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o help_v it_o but_o we_o think_v it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v tell_v we_o can_v be_v save_v unless_o we_o renounce_v they_o too_o and_o this_o now_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o case_n since_o pius_n the_o
