with_o the_o apostle_n for_o ever_o that_o be_v so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v to_o guide_v they_o into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n and_o by_o they_o to_o guide_v the_o church_n in_o all_o after-age_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o his_o apostle_n which_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o any_o age_n of_o the_o church_n after_o they_o and_o therefore_o what_o be_v and_o what_o be_v not_o limit_v to_o they_o must_v be_v argue_v out_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o be_v say_v and_o last_o though_o you_o will_v not_o have_v this_o promise_v limit_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o annex_v to_o their_o function_n as_o in_o some_o sense_n i_o grant_v it_o may_v be_v yet_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o promise_n be_v however_o limit_v by_o a_o condition_n even_o in_o the_o word_n forego_v and_o follow_v the_o promise_n if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o there_o the_o condition_n be_v once_o express_v for_o it_o follow_v and_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v give_v you_o another_o comforter_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o now_o mark_v once_o again_o what_o follow_v who_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v because_o it_o see_v he_o not_o neither_o know_v he_o where_o if_o by_o the_o world_n be_v mean_v worldly_a and_o wicked_a man_n as_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v grant_v you_o see_v here_o be_v no_o absolute_a promise_n of_o such_o a_o guidance_n to_o a_o succession_n of_o pastor_n as_o shall_v make_v it_o at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o church_n heresy_n to_o contradict_v whatsoever_o they_o teach_v or_o schism_n to_o withdraw_v from_o their_o obedience_n as_o to_o the_o last_o if_o you_o have_v prove_v such_o a_o succession_n of_o infallible_a teacher_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o once_o more_o that_o the_o hard_a part_n of_o 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 their_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 sincerere_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 be_v ashamed_a or_o at_o least_o to_o think_v it_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o your_o design_n on_o foot_n to_o deny_v they_o or_o disguise_n and_o soften_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v go_v the_o better_o down_o with_o those_o people_n who_o be_v not_o so_o well_o read_v in_o your_o controversy_n and_o suspect_v no_o snake_n in_o the_o

fashion_a phrase_n that_o we_o as_o protestant_n be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n inconsistent_a with_o salvation_n inasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o your_o communion_n the_o short_a of_o what_o you_o say_v be_v that_o after_o most_o serious_a consideration_n and_o the_o weigh_v of_o all_o reason_n the_o papist_n believe_v the_o roman_a church_n in_o which_o he_o be_v to_o be_v that_o one_o only_o holy_a catholic_n church_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o question_n but_o what_o be_v true_o affirm_v of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o succeed_a age_n and_o those_o that_o fall_v from_o it_o be_v most_o true_a of_o the_o same_o church_n now_o in_o be_v of_o which_o he_o be_v a_o member_n and_o of_o all_o those_o who_o separate_v from_o it_o upon_o what_o pretext_n

what_o none_o of_o we_o make_v the_o least_o question_n of_o viz._n that_o christ_n establish_v a_o catholic_n church_n that_o he_o commit_v the_o care_n of_o it_o to_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o be_v inspire_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o leave_v pastor_n to_o govern_v and_o feed_v the_o flock_n after_o their_o decease_n and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n
