A59894	A short summary of the principal controversies between the Church of England, and the church of Rome being a vindication of several Protestant doctrines, in answer to a late pamphlet intituled, Protestancy destitute of Scripture-proofs.	Sherlock, William, 1641?-1707.	1687 (1687)	Wing S3365; ESTC R22233	88,436	166

must_v grant_v so_o that_o still_o this_o whole_a controversy_n issue_v in_o this_o whether_o the_o term_n of_o their_o communion_n be_v not_o sinful_a if_o they_o be_v this_o will_v justify_v our_o non-communion_n with_o they_o if_o they_o be_v not_o we_o be_v schismatic_n and_o by_o this_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o stand_v or_o fall_v so_o that_o this_o charge_n of_o schism_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v very_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a unless_o they_o can_v charge_v we_o with_o schismatical_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n if_o we_o separate_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o corrupt_a faith_n or_o worship_n we_o be_v schismatic_n indeed_o but_o if_o we_o separate_v only_o because_o we_o will_v not_o profess_v any_o erroneous_a doctrine_n nor_o communicate_v in_o a_o corrupt_a worship_n unless_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a worship_n can_v make_v man_n schismatic_n we_o may_v very_o secure_o scorn_v such_o a_o accusation_n and_o it_o be_v as_o impertinent_a a_o question_n to_o ask_v we_o what_o church_n we_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o when_o we_o forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o if_o by_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o other_o church_n they_o mean_v unite_n ourselves_o in_o one_o ecclesiastical_a body_n with_o they_o put_v ourselves_o under_o the_o government_n of_o any_o other_o patriarch_n so_o we_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o no_o other_o church_n and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n we_o shall_v for_o we_o be_v original_o a_o free_a independent_a church_n which_o owe_v no_o subjection_n to_o any_o other_o church_n but_o have_v a_o plenary_a power_n to_o decide_v all_o controversy_n among_o ourselves_o without_o appeal_n to_o any_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n and_o when_o we_o have_v deliver_v ourselves_o from_o one_o usurper_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o court_v a_o new_a one_o this_o not_o be_v necessary_a too_o catholic_n unity_n and_o communion_n if_o by_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o other_o church_n they_o mean_v what_o other_o church_n we_o make_v the_o pattern_n of_o our_o reformation_n we_o free_o confess_v we_o make_v no_o church_n of_o that_o age_n our_o pattern_n but_o i_o think_v we_o do_v much_o better_o for_o we_o make_v the_o scripture_n our_o rule_n and_o the_o primitive_a and_o apostolic_a church_n our_o pattern_n which_o we_o take_v to_o be_v a_o more_o infallible_a direction_n than_o the_o example_n of_o any_o church_n then_o or_o now_o if_o we_o must_v have_v be_v confine_v to_o the_o faith_n and_o practice_n of_o other_o church_n then_o in_o be_v without_o regard_n to_o a_o more_o infallible_a rule_n and_o a_o more_o unquestionable_a authority_n i_o confess_v i_o shall_v have_v choose_v to_o have_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o have_v the_o most_o visible_a and_o flourish_a authority_n of_o any_o other_o church_n at_o that_o time_n but_o our_o reformer_n do_v believe_v and_o very_o right_o that_o no_o church_n have_v any_o authority_n against_o the_o scripture_n and_o primitive_a practice_n and_o then_o they_o be_v not_o concern_v to_o inquire_v whether_o any_o other_o church_n do_v in_o all_o thing_n believe_v and_o practice_v as_o they_o teach_v but_o what_o the_o faith_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o immediate_a successor_n be_v and_o yet_o they_o very_o well_o know_v that_o most_o of_o those_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o they_o condemn_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v condemn_v by_o other_o church_n also_o though_o it_o may_v be_v those_o other_o church_n may_v have_v some_o less_o error_n and_o corruption_n of_o their_o own_o if_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v a_o sufficient_a authority_n to_o justify_v a_o reformation_n than_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v blameless_a though_o no_o other_o church_n in_o the_o world_n follow_v this_o pattern_n but_o ourselves_o for_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o pattern_n which_o they_o ought_v all_o to_o follow_v and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o it_o be_v not_o we_o be_v to_o blame_v but_o themselves_o and_o yet_o what_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o our_o reformer_n make_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n herself_o the_o pattern_n of_o our_o reformation_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a truth_n of_o the_o case_n for_o we_o frame_v no_o new_a creed_n no_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n no_o new_a form_n of_o worship_n no_o new_a model_n of_o government_n but_o retain_v all_o that_o be_v ancient_a and_o apostolic_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o only_o reject_v those_o corruption_n and_o innovation_n which_o be_v introduce_v in_o several_a age_n and_o confirm_v all_o together_o by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n our_o faith_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o apostle_n nicene_n athanasian_n creed_n which_o be_v all_o own_a by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o be_v the_o ancient_a faith_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n we_o own_o the_o two_o christian_a sacrament_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v express_o institute_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o and_o which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n own_v we_o worship_v one_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v that_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n confess_v though_o she_o bring_v in_o a_o great_a many_o other_o mediator_n by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o distinction_n our_o public_a liturgy_n be_v so_o conform_v to_o the_o ancient_a liturgy_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n that_o it_o have_v be_v often_o object_v to_o we_o though_o very_o peevish_o and_o absurd_o by_o dissenter_n that_o our_o common_a prayer_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o mass_n book_n our_o litany_n collect_v hymn_n be_v many_o of_o they_o take_v out_o of_o the_o old_a latin_a liturgy_n only_o we_o have_v change_v the_o popish_a legend_n into_o lesson_n out_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o have_v leave_v out_o prayer_n to_o saint_n and_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o other_o superstition_n so_o that_o in_o truth_n the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v the_o exact_a resemblance_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o her_o state_n of_o primitive_a purity_n before_o her_o faith_n and_o worship_n be_v corrupt_v with_o new_a and_o superstitious_a addition_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o reformation_n not_o to_o form_n and_o model_n a_o new_a church_n but_o only_o to_o purge_v the_o church_n from_o all_o new_a corruption_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o old_a foundation_n and_o building_n as_o it_o be_v and_o if_o we_o have_v indeed_o retain_v all_o that_o be_v ancient_a and_o apostolic_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o reject_v nothing_o but_o innovation_n in_o faith_n and_o corruption_n in_o worship_n they_o need_v not_o inquire_v for_o a_o church_n which_o believe_v all_o that_o we_o do_v for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n herself_o do_v so_o and_o if_o they_o believe_v more_o than_o they_o shall_v it_o be_v no_o fault_n that_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v all_o that_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o seek_v for_o any_o other_o church_n to_o join_v with_o for_o we_o stay_v where_o we_o be_v and_o do_v not_o leave_v our_o church_n but_o reform_v it_o and_o a_o man_n who_o do_v not_o pull_v down_o his_o house_n but_o only_o cleanse_v it_o and_o make_v it_o a_o more_o wholesome_a habitation_n need_v not_o inquire_v for_o a_o new_a house_n to_o dwell_v in_o to_o conclude_v this_o argument_n our_o positive_a faith_n and_o worship_n be_v the_o same_o still_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v blame_v we_o for_o it_o and_o in_o those_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n wherein_o we_o have_v forsake_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o have_v the_o authority_n and_o practice_n of_o most_o other_o church_n to_o justify_v we_o which_o do_v not_o own_o the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n nor_o transubstantiation_n nor_o purgatory_n nor_o communion_n in_o one_o kind_n nor_o latin_a service_n nor_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n with_o several_a other_o of_o the_o
