a_o reply_n of_o lewis_n sabran_n of_o the_o society_n of_o jesus_n to_o the_o answer_n give_v to_o his_o letter_n write_v to_o a_o peer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o a_o nameless_a member_n of_o the_o same_o sir_n my_o letter_n to_o a_o peer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o you_o pretend_v to_o answer_v in_o that_o which_o i_o now_o receive_v from_o you_o have_v clear_v i_o sufficient_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o man_n of_o sense_n of_o the_o mistake_v you_o charge_v i_o with_o however_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o cast_v away_o half_a a_o hour_n in_o mind_v you_o more_o just_o and_o more_o charitable_o of_o your_o disingenuous_a cavil_n after_o which_o i_o resolve_v never_o to_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o such_o unknown_a mask_n or_o person_n who_o conceal_v their_o name_n that_o their_o error_n when_o baffle_v their_o calumny_n when_o clear_v may_v not_o put_v they_o to_o the_o blush_n that_o part_n of_o the_o debate_n betwixt_o we_o which_o you_o maintain_v still_o be_v whether_o your_o accuse_v i_o of_o great_a ignorance_n or_o notorious_a forgery_n for_o cite_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n as_o make_v by_o st._n augustin_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o 35_o sermon_n de_fw-la sanctis_fw-la print_v in_o the_o 10_o tome_n of_o his_o work_n and_o the_o proof_n you_o support_v your_o charge_n with_o evince_n my_o gild_n or_o rather_o cast_v and_o retort_v that_o blame_v upon_o you_o and_o discover_v your_o inconsiderate_a itch_n of_o scribble_a though_o it_o be_v but_o to_o nible_a at_o three_o line_n of_o the_o introduction_n of_o a_o sermon_n the_o discourse_n whereof_o though_o it_o plain_o set_v out_o how_o unwarantable_a the_o schism_n of_o your_o church_n be_v from_o catholic_a unity_n you_o have_v prudent_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v untouched_a to_o make_v out_o your_o charge_n against_o i_o you_o offer_v these_o three_o proof_n the_o first_o that_o the_o title_n of_o that_o sermon_n in_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o assumption_n do_v not_o agree_v at_o all_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v near_o st._n augustins_n time._n i_o answer_v that_o your_o mean_v must_v be_v either_o that_o no_o feast-day_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n assumption_n be_v keep_v in_o st._n augustin_n day_n or_o else_o that_o nothing_o be_v pious_o believe_v or_o think_v of_o then_o concern_v her_o assumption_n if_o the_o first_o meaning_n be_v you_o i_o prove_v that_o instance_n to_o be_v of_o no_o force_n because_o that_o title_n of_o a_o far_o fresh_a date_n than_o most_o sermon_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n bear_v have_v be_v affix_v to_o they_o which_o be_v preach_v on_o the_o day_n of_o such_o mystery_n or_o saint_n death_n as_o be_v not_o then_o keep_v holy_a of_o this_o i_o produce_v several_a instance_n as_o for_o the_o second_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n i_o discover_v the_o error_n of_o take_v those_o word_n on_o the_o assumption_n in_o the_o sense_n they_o now_o vulgar_o bear_v whereas_o in_o the_o holy_a father_n language_n when_o apply_v to_o saint_n or_o the_o bless_a virgin_n they_o only_o signify_v the_o day_n of_o their_o death_n of_o this_o i_o bring_v again_o many_o and_o plain_a proof_n next_o i_o produce_v many_o other_o to_o which_o i_o have_v more_o that_o may_v be_v add_v to_o evince_v that_o in_o the_o four_o and_o five_o century_n it_o be_v pious_o believe_v that_o the_o bless_a virgin_n be_v assume_v in_o body_n into_o heaven_n though_o it_o be_v not_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o certain_a truth_n make_v out_o from_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n unquestionable_a tradition_n from_o the_o apostle_n or_o decision_n of_o the_o present_a church_n i_o conceive_v this_o to_o be_v so_o full_a a_o answer_n to_o your_o first_o proof_n as_o will_v have_v force_v any_o one_o less_o obstinate_a than_o i_o find_v you_o to_o have_v own_v it_o of_o no_o value_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v what_o you_o reply_v you_o tell_v we_o first_o that_o your_o meaning_n be_v to_o deny_v any_o belief_n of_o the_o assumption_n of_o the_o b._n virgin_n to_o have_v be_v in_o st._n augustins_n time_n nor_o consequent_o any_o sermon_n on_o that_o subject_a which_o this_o evident_o be_v second_o that_o if_o day_n of_o assumption_n do_v but_o almost_o ever_o signify_v the_o day_n of_o a_o saint_n death_n why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v the_o exception_n three_o that_o it_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o title_n since_o the_o sermon_n speak_v of_o assumption_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v on_o the_o day_n of_o that_o solemnity_n assume_v into_o heaven_n this_o be_v all_o you_o add_v to_o support_v your_o first_o proof_n that_o be_v first_o a_o new_a error_n next_o a_o false_a inference_n than_o a_o plain_a cheat_n and_o contradiction_n it_o be_v a_o error_n that_o there_o be_v not_o in_o st._n augustins_n time_n a_o general_a pious_a belief_n though_o uncertain_a of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n assumption_n i_o have_v make_v it_o out_o in_o my_o first_o letter_n by_o many_o proof_n which_o as_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o such_o writer_n you_o have_v not_o be_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o i_o think_v unnecessary_a to_o repeat_v if_o you_o desire_v other_o you_o may_v find_v they_o in_o natalis_n alexandres_n censure_n of_o the_o book_n ascribe_v to_o the_o holy_a bishop_n meliton_n it_o be_v a_o false_a consequence_n to_o say_v assumption_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v the_o death_n of_o a_o saint_n therefore_o here_o it_o may_v signify_v the_o corporal_a assumption_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n therefore_o it_o do_v yet_o this_o be_v your_o inference_n when_o you_o bring_v that_o word_n in_o that_o sense_n against_o i_o without_o any_o proof_n for_o it_o it_o be_v a_o wilful_a mistake_n of_o you_o by_o which_o you_o make_v i_o say_v that_o in_o the_o ancient_a write_n feast_n or_o day_n of_o assumption_n when_o apply_v to_o saint_n do_v only_o almost_o always_o signify_v the_o day_n of_o their_o death_n it_o always_o bear_v that_o meaning_n apply_v to_o they_o though_o we_o sometime_o find_v that_o in_o a_o different_a sense_n it_o signify_v the_o festival_n keep_v on_o the_o day_n of_o the_o coronation_n of_o prince_n or_o inthron_v of_o bishop_n bishop_n it_o be_v a_o cheat_n impose_v upon_o vulgar_a reader_n to_o insinuate_v that_o the_o 35th_o sermon_n cite_v by_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n death_n but_o of_o her_o assumption_n in_o the_o sense_n which_o that_o word_n now_o vulgar_o bear_v the_o author_n of_o it_o plain_o express_v the_o contrary_a in_o word_n like_v to_o those_o we_o find_v in_o all_o the_o write_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n on_o this_o subject_a they_o be_v these_o the_o world_n be_v honour_v by_o so_o great_a a_o virgin_n departure_n in_o what_o order_n or_o manner_n she_o pass_v hence_o to_o heaven_n the_o catholic_a church_n do_v no_o way_n recount_v neither_o be_v her_o body_n find_v on_o earth_n neither_o be_v her_o assumption_n in_o the_o flesh_n as_o it_o be_v read_v in_o the_o apocrypha_n find_v in_o the_o catholic_a church_n this_o be_v the_o true_a opinion_n concern_v her_o assumption_n that_o not_o know_v whether_o in_o her_o body_n or_o out_o of_o it_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v we_o believe_v she_o assume_v above_o the_o angel_n now_o what_o a_o contradiction_n be_v it_o or_o a_o plain_a cheat_n to_o say_v that_o this_o sermon_n be_v preach_v when_o the_o church_n do_v believe_v that_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o that_o solemnity_n assume_v into_o heaven_n next_o you_o make_v a_o large_a flourish_n of_o 30_o line_n and_o a_o essay_n of_o a_o
