not_o in_o the_o office_n of_o baptism_n that_o it_o be_v require_v that_o they_o believe_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n as_o if_o the_o roman_a baptism_n by_o require_v belief_n of_o the_o

make_v it_o good_a by_o this_o discourse_n as_o long_o as_o baptism_n do_v enter_v person_n into_o the_o catholic_a church_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o who_o have_v the_o true_a form_n of_o

all_o one_o as_o it_o must_v be_v if_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v the_o catholic_a and_o apostolic_a church_n profess_v in_o the_o creed_n this_o if_o i_o understand_v it_o be_v in_o short_a person_n baptise_a out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_a but_o not_o of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n and_o therefore_o the_o catholic_a and_o roman_n catholic_n be_v not_o the_o same_o church_n he_o be_v not_o i_o perceive_v aware_a that_o he_o suppose_v what_o he_o shall_v prove_v and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v prove_v it_o by_o mean_n of_o that_o supposition_n for_o he_o can_v not_o make_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a not_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n unless_o he_o suppose_v that_o those_o be_v two_o different_a church_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a point_n in_o dispute_n which_o he_o shall_v prove_v and_o which_o he_o put_v for_o prove_v in_o his_o conclusion_n but_o we_o be_v all_o subject_n to_o oversight_n i_o wonder_v more_o how_o it_o can_v escape_v he_o that_o the_o baptise_a person_n he_o speak_v of_o be_v as_o much_o member_n of_o both_o church_n as_o of_o either_o i_o speak_v in_o his_o language_n as_o if_o they_o be_v different_a church_n that_o his_o argument_n may_v go_v on_o those_o person_n be_v not_o true_o member_n either_o of_o the_o catholic_a or_o roman_a catholic_a church_n but_o as_o far_o as_o baptism_n make_v member_n they_o be_v altogether_o as_o much_o member_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n as_o of_o the_o catholic_a and_o he_o if_o he_o will_v recollect_v himself_o know_v very_o well_o that_o both_o point_n have_v be_v long_o since_o determine_v and_o that_o by_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n the_o old_a contest_v about_o rebaptisation_n put_v it_o past_a dispute_n that_o they_o be_v not_o true_o member_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o the_o contest_v be_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v member_n whether_o by_o a_o new_a baptism_n or_o only_o by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n both_o side_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o whole_a church_n agree_v that_o they_o be_v not_o member_n of_o the_o church_n till_o one_o way_n or_o other_o they_o be_v receive_v into_o it_o and_o to_o think_v they_o do_v not_o agree_v in_o this_o be_v to_o make_v very_o wise_a man_n of_o they_o man_n who_o fall_v out_o with_o one_o another_o even_o to_o excommunication_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v the_o answerer_n how_o those_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n who_o be_v in_o already_o again_o that_o they_o be_v nevertheless_o as_o much_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n though_o baptize_v out_o of_o its_o communion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o roman_a though_o baptize_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n as_o baptism_n can_v make_v they_o he_o know_v too_o be_v carry_v against_o the_o rebaptisers_a by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n in_o who_o judgement_n the_o whole_a church_n ever_o since_o have_v acquiesce_v and_o he_o stand_v single_a against_o that_o judgement_n when_o he_o think_v a_o man_n baptize_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n be_v not_o a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n as_o much_o as_o baptism_n make_v a_o member_n and_o as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o be_v baptize_v in_o her_o communion_n in_o truth_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o dispute_v of_o but_o word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o baptism_n enter_v the_o baptise_a into_o the_o catholic_a church_n if_o he_o mean_v that_o those_o who_o be_v due_o baptize_v by_o man_n who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n need_v no_o other_o baptism_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o catholic_a church_n he_o say_v very_o true_a and_o no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o whole_a church_n have_v long_o since_o say_v before_o he_o neither_o do_v they_o need_v any_o other_o baptism_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o roman_a and_o if_o he_o will_v have_v this_o call_v a_o entry_n and_o the_o baptise_a call_v member_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n for_o i_o think_v it_o time_n lose_v to_o quarrel_v about_o the_o name_n of_o thing_n when_o we_o know_v what_o they_o signify_v but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o their_o

church_n he_o contradict_v every_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o all_o man_n see_v they_o do_v not_o profess_v that_o faith_n but_o the_o heresy_n of_o their_o baptiser_n and_o all_o christian_n know_v they_o need_v notwithstanding_o their_o
thing_n whether_o it_o be_v easy_a or_o no_o to_o find_v the_o church_n infallibility_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v answer_v by_o her_o royal_a highness_n and_o i_o will_v not_o presume_v to_o answer_v where_o she_o have_v especial_o when_o the_o question_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o our_o business_n in_o the_o last_o place_n who_o have_v find_v the_o church_n infallibility_n have_v yet_o say_v the_o answerer_n a_o hard_a point_n to_o get_v over_o viz._n how_o the_o promise_v relate_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n come_v to_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n by_o the_o way_n the_o promise_n of_o which_o he_o talk_v be_v they_o not_o in_o scripture_n and_o no_o hard_o to_o be_v find_v there_o by_o another_o than_o by_o he_o how_o come_v the_o church_n infallibility_n to_o be_v easy_o find_v there_o in_o this_o period_n which_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o find_v in_o the_o last_o for_o who_o have_v find_v the_o promise_n have_v foun●_n infallibility_n as_o certain_o as_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n never_o fail_v but_o why_o be_v we_o not_o all_o agree_v now_o that_o there_o be_v promise_n of_o infallibility_n make_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n he_o agree_v and_o doubt_v not_o i_o suppose_v but_o that_o those_o promise_n be_v make_v good_a i_o suppose_v too_o he_o will_v allow_v that_o the_o church_n in_o general_n and_o the_o general_n church_n be_v all_o one_o and_o that_o the_o general_n and_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v but_o two_o name_n for_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o so_o we_o be_v arrive_v at_o infallibility_n in_o the_o catholic_a church_n yes_o but_o it_o must_v not_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o if_o that_o will_v content_v he_o we_o ask_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o allow_v that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o all_o her_o fault_n one_o of_o the_o many_o church_n which_o make_v it_o up_o to_o allow_v so_o much_o be_v to_o allow_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v infallible_a for_o roman_a catholic_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o catholic_a with_o the_o roman_a in_o what_o remain_v then_o but_o to_o take_v the_o infallibility_n promise_v to_o this_o catholic_a church_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n inquire_v and_o believe_v what_o she_o teach_v and_o leave_v off_o dispute_v for_o they_o be_v undoubted_o firm_o ground_v who_o build_v on_o the_o promise_v of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a the_o answerer_n have_v not_o all_o this_o while_n answer_v the_o question_n for_o he_o say_v not_o whether_o salvation_n ought_v to_o depend_v on_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n or_o whether_o the_o private_a judgement_n be_v a_o sandy_a foundation_n but_o he_o have_v do_v much_o better_o by_o instruct_v people_n the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o shall_v for_o i_o keep_v his_o thought_n of_o that_o matter_n to_o himself_o since_o he_o have_v no_o

at_o any_o time_n they_o draw_v argument_n from_o implication_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o he_o pitch_v upon_o a_o point_n wherein_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n seem_v

notwithstanding_o they_o be_v not_o plain_a and_o positive_a as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o way_n of_o deny_v plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n but_o by_o deny_v they_o to_o be_v plain_a no_o

and_o for_o a_o pretence_n to_o deny_v that_o raise_v some_o mist_n or_o other_o to_o obscure_v the_o clearness_n of_o every_o text_n allege_v against_o he_o the_o answerer_n than_o be_v far_o

they_o be_v plain_a and_o this_o be_v all_o his_o answer_n what_o he_o say_v of_o implication_n in_o the_o pope_n bull_n might_n if_o he_o can_v show_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n build_v her_o faith_n on_o those_o implication_n be_v a_o argument_n against_o she_o but_o none_o for_o himself_o for_o paul_n be_v not_o a_o just_a the_o less_o a_o thief_n because_o peter_n be_v catch_v steal_v too_o but_o some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n argue_v from_o implication_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v not_o build_v their_o faith_n therefore_o other_o may_v build_v their_o faith_n upon_o

may_v not_o reasonable_o add_v more_o to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_a let_v we_o hear_v now_o what_o he_o have_v to_o answer_v and_o i_o will_v reply_v brief_o because_o i_o have_v take_v away_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o argument_n already_o first_o he_o say_v in_o effect_n that_o the_o bishop_n authority_n and_o example_n ought_v to_o have_v prevail_v with_o she_o on_o the_o one_o side_n more_o than_o his_o concession_n on_o the_o other_o i_o reply_v not_o his_o authority_n because_o he_o speak_v more_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o against_o it_o nor_o his_o example_n for_o he_o give_v she_o no_o encouragement_n to_o follow_v it_o by_o say_v that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o catholic_a he_o will_v not_o have_v change_v his_o example_n of_o pray_v daily_o for_o the_o dead_a show_v his_o opinion_n at_o the_o bottom_n but_o his_o not_o public_o own_v that_o he_o do_v so_o have_v prove_v he_o little_a better_o than_o a_o black_a bishop_n who_o be_v enter_v private_o into_o the_o white_a one_o walk_v our_o author_n ask_v in_o the_o second_o place_n why_o any_o person_n shall_v forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n wherein_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v be_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o i_o inquire_v how_o she_o can_v be_v bind_v to_o believe_v he_o since_o confession_n and_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v want_v in_o it_o one_o of_o which_o he_o have_v before_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v command_v of_o god_n the_o other_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o ancient_a thing_n in_o christianity_n three_o he_o urge_v that_o the_o bishop_n have_v tell_v she_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a thing_n to_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o i_o reply_v that_o the_o answerer_n have_v falsify_v his_o word_n the_o bishop_n only_o think_v it_o very_o ill_a to_o give_v that_o scandal_n as_o to_o leave_v the_o church_n wherein_o he_o be_v baptise_a first_o he_o speak_v of_o himself_o only_o not_o of_o she_o mark_v that_o fallacy_n and_o then_o he_o say_v not_o it_o be_v ill_a to_o leave_v the_o church_n but_o very_o ill_o to_o give_v that_o scandal_n as_o to_o leave_v the_o church_n relate_v again_o to_o his_o own_o particular_a four_o he_o say_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o bishop_n concession_n can_v have_v no_o influence_n upon_o she_o though_o she_o positive_o say_v those_o discourse_n in_o which_o be_v those_o concession_n do_v but_o add_v more_o to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_n this_o be_v full_a upon_o the_o vizor_n but_o the_o dead_a be_v to_o take_v all_o thing_n patient_o well!_o how_o if_o he_o can_v convince_v she_o of_o falsity_n from_o her_o own_o word_n why_o then_o he_o will_v carry_v his_o argument_n as_o well_o as_o his_o good_a manner_n to_o the_o height_n and_o how_o broad_a soever_o the_o word_n may_v be_v which_o he_o have_v sly_o give_v she_o yet_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o freedom_n ought_v to_o be_v permit_v he_o as_o sustain_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n his_o argument_n be_v this_o she_o declare_v afterward_o that_o she_o will_v not_o have_v change_v if_o she_o have_v think_v it_o possible_a otherwise_o to_o have_v save_v her_o soul_n but_o the_o bishop_n have_v tell_v she_o that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n be_v in_o the_o english_a church_n therefore_o the_o bishop_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o her_o change_n so_o the_o mitre_n be_v safe_a in_o its_o reputation_n no_o matter_n what_o become_v of_o the_o ducal_z coronet_n now_o i_o can_v be_v very_o well_o content_a that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o her_o conversion_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o desire_v it_o not_o and_o why_o shall_v he_o do_v good_a against_o his_o will_n i_o wish_v my_o author_n will_v have_v furnish_v i_o with_o a_o argument_n to_o have_v bring_v he_o whole_o off_o but_o i_o will_v bring_v he_o on_o his_o way_n as_o far_o as_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o answerer_n scarf_n i_o can_v fair_o drag_v he_o i_o say_v therefore_o that_o though_o her_o highness_n change_v not_o her_o belief_n upon_o the_o concession_n of_o the_o bishop_n yet_o his_o concession_n be_v a_o occasion_n of_o her_o far_a scruple_n in_o order_n to_o her_o change_n for_o she_o say_v they_o add_v to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_n the_o bishop_n do_v indeed_o tell_v she_o that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v in_o the_o english_a church_n but_o tell_v i_o sir_n i_o beseech_v you_o be_v that_o all_o he_o tell_v she_o by_o your_o favour_n you_o have_v leave_v out_o the_o better_a half_n of_o what_o he_o say_v for_o he_o tell_v she_o also_o that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o catholic_a he_o will_v not_o have_v change_v and_o she_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v what_o he_o say_v to_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o church_n of_o which_o he_o be_v no_o member_n as_o be_v sure_o he_o will_v say_v no_o more_o than_o scanty_a truth_n and_o he_o acknowledge_v into_o the_o bargain_n that_o confession_n be_v command_v of_o god_n and_o that_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v one_o of_o the_o ancient_a thing_n in_o christianity_n what_o a_o shameful_a way_n of_o argue_v be_v this_o to_o make_v a_o general_a negative_a conclusion_n from_o half_a the_o premise_n or_o in_o other_o word_n to_o maintain_v that_o the_o bishop_n concession_n can_v have_v no_o influence_n upon_o she_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o great_a influence_n and_o you_o in_o a_o manner_n confess_v it_o before_o you_o be_v aware_a in_o the_o close_a of_o your_o argument_n where_o you_o say_v there_o must_v therefore_o have_v be_v some_o more_o secret_a reason_n which_o increase_v her_o desire_n to_o be_v a_o catholic_a after_o these_o discourse_n now_o some_o more_o secret_a reason_n do_v not_o hinder_v the_o bishop_n concession_n from_o be_v one_o nay_o it_o argue_v that_o they_o be_v one_o of_o the_o reason_n though_o not_o the_o most_o prevalent_a because_o there_o be_v one_o more_o secret_a you_o have_v now_o contradict_v yourself_o so_o plain_o that_o you_o have_v whole_o
