the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v behold_v to_o tradition_n for_o some_o part_n of_o her_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n as_o infant-baptism_n the_o observation_n of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o

difficulty_n and_o merit_n of_o faith._n and_o consequent_o that_o i_o ought_v not_o so_o much_o to_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n propose_v to_o be_v believe_v as_o the_o authority_n by_o which_o they_o be_v propose_v second_o that_o this_o faith_n be_v the_o 8._o the_o ephes_n c._n 2._o v._n 8._o gift_n of_o god_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n that_o more_o confidence_n be_v to_o

endeavour_v to_o obtain_v this_o gift_n by_o that_o mean_n make_v it_o my_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o his_o divine_a goodness_n that_o i_o may_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o firm_o purpose_v to_o embrace_v that_o which_o i_o shall_v be_v convince_v of_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v ever_o so_o contrary_a to_o my_o worldly_a interest_n as_o the_o roman_a catholic_a religion_n at_o that_o time_n most_o apparent_o be_v to_o prayer_n i_o judge_v it_o necessary_a to_o add_v a_o serious_a endeavour_n of_o amend_v my_o life_n lest_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o sue_v hypocritical_o

the_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n amid_o these_o doubt_n i_o confess_v ingenuous_o that_o what_o our_o english_a doctor_n have_v make_v so_o light_a of_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n with_o i_o viz._n that_o the_o church_n of_o england-man_n affirm_v that_o salvation_n may_v be_v have_v among_o the_o roman_a catholic_o but_o the_o roman_a catholic_o absolute_o deny_v that_o the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v have_v among_o they_o for_o salvation_n in_o the_o roman_a communion_n both_o church_n concur_v whereas_o for_o the_o latter_a we_o have_v only_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o protestant_n in_o their_o own_o behalf_n who_o likewise_o at_o the_o same_o time_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v fallible_a and_o consequent_o for_o aught_o they_o know_v may_v be_v mistake_v and_o if_o they_o be_v actual_o mistake_v i_o shall_v be_v undo_v by_o rarry_v with_o they_o whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o they_o be_v not_o mistake_v i_o can_v receive_v no_o damage_n by_o be_v among_o the_o roman_a catholic_o in_o a_o word_n i_o consider_v that_o if_o the_o protestant_n be_v true_a i_o shall_v be_v safe_a with_o the_o roman_a catholic_o but_o if_o the_o roman_a catholic_o be_v right_a i_o can_v not_o be_v so_o with_o the_o protestant_n this_o motive_n be_v so_o strong_a in_o its_o own_o nature_n that_o many_o protestant_n confess_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o have_v great_a power_n with_o those_o who_o as_o they_o say_v can_v thorough_o examine_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o and_o these_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n and_o if_o so_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o add_v that_o god_n almighty_n have_v take_v as_o much_o care_n of_o the_o ignorant_a as_o of_o the_o learned_a will_v never_o permit_v falsehood_n to_o be_v support_v by_o such_o argument_n as_o must_v in_o common_a prudence_n oblige_v all_o unlearned_a person_n to_o be_v engage_v in_o it_o but_o above_o all_o methinks_v this_o argument_n shall_v be_v of_o force_n with_o those_o universal_a gentleman_n who_o pretend_v that_o their_o religion_n be_v the_o catholic_n because_o they_o believe_v nothing_o but_o that_o wherein_o all_o agree_v forget_v that_o such_o a_o

they_o on_o which_o they_o may_v safe_o rely_v viz._n that_o salvation_n may_v be_v have_v in_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n which_o be_v all_o we_o do_v or_o at_o least_o ought_v to_o aim_v at_o by_o our_o religion_n as_o for_o those_o other_o point_n which_o perhaps_o they_o hold_v viz._n a_o deity_n a_o saviour_n and_o the_o like_a though_o they_o have_v the_o universal_a consent_n of_o

receive_v his_o bible_n he_o answer_v among_o other_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v his_o bible_n quote_v by_o the_o ancient_a father_n now_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o father_n and_o their_o work_n

of_o christian_n be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o which_o in_o the_o wrong_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o understand_v from_o their_o testimony_n whether_o the_o father_n be_v orthodox_n or_o not_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v reply_v that_o these_o father_n be_v approve_v by_o ourselves_o that_o also_o will_v have_v be_v as_o little_a to_o his_o purpose_n for_o if_o he_o look_v on_o our_o authority_n as_o good_a he_o ought_v to_o receive_v several_a other_o thing_n upon_o it_o which_o he_o do_v not_o and_o if_o he_o take_v it_o not_o to_o be_v such_o he_o can_v confide_v in_o

will_v have_v grant_v that_o this_o can_v have_v be_v do_v by_o our_o authority_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v believe_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v ask_v no_o more_o last_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v that_o he_o know_v those_o ancient_a father_n to_o be_v orthodox_n no_o otherwise_o than_o by_o the_o conformity_n which_o he_o observe_v in_o their_o tenet_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v the_o protestant_a way_n of_o prove_v the_o orthodoxness_n of_o either_o particular_a man_n or_o church_n he_o will_v have_v involve_v himself_o in_o a_o circle_n by_o prove_v the_o father_n to_o be_v true_a from_o their_o agreement_n with_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v so_o from_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o father_n by_o this_o time_n i_o
