after_o the_o manner_n of_o that_o church_n and_o so_o by_o understand_v the_o scripture_n after_o the_o interpretation_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n the_o bishop_n have_v his_o

the_o same_o worship_n as_o christ_n himself_o and_o what_o do_v he_o conclude_v upon_o it_o why_o that_o any_o one_o may_v hold_v which_o side_n they_o please_v as_o a_o opinion_n or_o suspend_v

side_n be_v not_o popery_n but_o a_o private_a opinion_n which_o the_o church_n have_v not_o yet_o censure_v as_o the_o vindicator_n say_v now_o what_o the_o vindicator_n say_v in_o this_o case_n be_v

representer_n whereas_o therefore_o the_o representer_n either_o promise_v or_o threaten_v great_a matter_n in_o his_o introduction_n i_o will_v endeavour_v say_v he_o to_o separate_v these_o

of_o the_o church_n the_o vindicator_n have_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n knock_v he_o down_o at_o one_o blow_n for_o say_v he_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n determine_v not_o the_o dispute_n any_o one_o may_v hold_v which_o side_n they_o please_v as_o a_o opinion_n but_o neither_o side_n be_v true_o what_o you_o ought_v to_o mean_v by_o popery_n this_o show_v that_o i_o be_v not_o much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n when_o i_o note_v the_o great_a hazard_n of_o these_o expound_v and_o represent_v design_n the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v so_o nice_a a_o work_n that_o in_o prudence_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v commit_v it_o to_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o representer_n shall_v have_v be_v the_o vindicator_n for_o while_o they_o be_v two_o and_z and_z each_o of_o they_o drive_v to_o strait_n one_o of_o they_o be_v press_v on_o one_o side_n and_o the_o other_o on_o another_o side_n the_o danger_n be_v great_a that_o each_o of_o they_o will_v shift_v for_o himself_o a_o several_a way_n and_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o reproach_n of_o one_o another_o thus_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o representer_n be_v press_v by_o his_o adversary_n for_o not_o have_v fair_o represent_v popery_n be_v fain_o at_o last_o to_o make_v a_o rule_n to_o know_v the_o church_n sense_n by_o which_o may_v serve_v his_o turn_n and_o what_o shall_v that_o be_v but_o the_o currant_n pass_v of_o his_o book_n among_o catholic_n for_o this_o he_o think_v be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o be_v authentic_a but_o the_o vindicator_n be_v press_v with_o the_o opposition_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o roman_a communion_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o exposition_n and_o perceive_v that_o currant_n pass_v will_v not_o serve_v his_o turn_n he_o i_o say_v come_v out_o a_o month_n after_o the_o representer_n and_o will_v not_o allow_v any_o thing_n to_o make_v doctrine_n authentic_a under_o the_o express_a word_n of_o a_o general_n approve_a council_n and_o he_o have_v utter_o undo_v the_o poor_a representer_n rule_n of_o currant_n pass_v which_o he_o think_v be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o his_o doctrine_n be_v authentic_a nay_o the_o unfortunate_a vindicator_n have_v blow_v up_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n as_o well_o as_o the_o character_n of_o the_o representer_n which_o indeed_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v because_o one_o must_v necessary_o follow_v the_o fate_n of_o the_o other_o for_o the_o bishop_n exposition_n be_v solemn_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n in_o matter_n of_o controversy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o exposition_n of_o popery_n but_o the_o bishop_n have_v expound_v many_o thing_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o other_o member_n of_o the_o same_o church_n condemn_v and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o dispute_n remain_v undetermined_a neither_o side_n be_v true_o what_o you_o ought_v to_o call_v popery_n and_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n shall_v have_v call_v his_o book_n a_o exposition_n of_o his_o own_o private_a sentiment_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n thus_o i_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v call_v it_o or_o else_o he_o shall_v have_v find_v out_o another_o vindicator_n nay_o because_o the_o great_a grace_n that_o his_o doctrine_n seem_v now_o to_o have_v from_o the_o church_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o censure_v by_o the_o church_n the_o title_n shall_v have_v be_v a_o little_a more_o wary_a by_o run_v thus_o a_o exposition_n of_o the_o bishop_n private_a sentiment_n which_o the_o church_n have_v not_o yet_o censure_v concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o because_o in_o truth_n the_o live_a church_n have_v begin_v to_o censure_v his_o doctrine_n and_o they_o who_o have_v censure_v it_o be_v not_o censure_v for_o it_o the_o title_n shall_v have_v be_v yet_o more_o wary_o contrive_v thus_o a_o exposition_n of_o the_o bishop_n private_a sentiment_n which_o sentiment_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o express_a word_n of_o a_o general_n approve_a council_n then_o perhaps_o the_o vindicator_n may_v have_v do_v something_o in_o discharge_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o vindicator_n but_o as_o the_o case_n stand_v he_o ought_v henceforward_o to_o change_v his_o name_n and_o to_o write_v himself_o the_o betrayer_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n exposition_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n the_o vindicator_n of_o it_o which_o himself_n so_o well_o understand_v that_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o pass_v over_o all_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o defender_n to_o the_o bishop_n and_o he_o give_v this_o substantial_a reason_n for_o it_o because_o the_o letter_n concern_v not_o he_o the_o vindicator_n nor_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o he_o be_v to_o vindicate_v in_o good_a time_n but_o the_o letter_n sore_o concern_v the_o bishop_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o exposition_n 8._o pag._n 8._o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o vindicator_n you_o be_v not_o to_o wonder_v at_o it_o because_o there_o have_v be_v great_a change_n of_o late_a and_o now_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o bishop_n exposition_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v another_o i_o may_v without_o breach_n of_o modesty_n say_v that_o hitherto_o i_o have_v give_v the_o vindicator_n a_o full_a reply_n and_o i_o believe_v the_o reader_n will_v be_v well_o satisfy_v that_o i_o shall_v drop_v he_o here_o and_o leave_v his_o follow_a cavil_n to_o be_v confute_v by_o any_o one_o that_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o compare_v he_o and_o the_o defender_n together_o but_o then_o this_o will_v be_v a_o pretence_n for_o another_o book_n and_o for_o some_o boast_n that_o he_o be_v not_o

venial_a sin_n that_o the_o vindicator_n himself_o have_v not_o question_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a cavil_v to_o tax_v the_o defender_n of_o falsify_v in_o this_o business_n though_o to_o encourage_v the_o vindicator_n to_o do_v well_o another_o time_n thus_o much_o he_o be_v to_o be_v commend_v for_o that_o he_o limit_v his_o accusation_n to_o the_o expression_n of_o
