i_o that_o when_o their_o divine_n say_v that_o infidel_n shall_v not_o b●_n damn_v for_o their_o infidelity_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v sufficient_o propose_v to_o they_o and_o no_o

introduce_v 3._o that_o those_o who_o charge_v those_o point_n to_o be_v innovation_n 116._o may_v as_o well_o have_v lay_v the_o scandal_n on_o any_o other_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o they_o retain_v these_o be_v thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v examine_v in_o order_n to_o the_o make_v good_a the_o charge_n of_o innovation_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o believe_v do_v stand_v on_o very_o good_a ground_n 1._o we_o be_v to_o consider_v whether_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v equal_a reason_n to_o define_v the_o necessity_n of_o these_o point_n as_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a and_o constantinople_n have_v to_o determine_v the_o point_n of_o the_o trinity_n or_o those_o of_o ephesus_n and_o chalcedon_n 109._o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n incarnation_n he_o do_v not_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o do_v imply_v new_a doctrine_n reveal_v but_o he_o contend_v earnest_o that_o the_o church_n have_v a_o power_n to_o declare_v the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v some_o point_n which_o be_v not_o so_o declare_v before_o and_o if_o the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v do_v depend_v upon_o the_o church_n declaration_n than_o he_o must_v assert_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o make_v point_n necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v which_o be_v not_o so_o and_o consequent_o to_o make_v common_a opinion_n to_o become_v article_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o inquire_v in_o this_o case_n since_o the_o church_n pretend_v to_o no_o new_a revelation_n of_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n therefore_o it_o can_v declare_v no_o more_o than_o it_o receive_v and_o no_o otherwise_o than_o it_o receive_v and_o so_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o what_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v so_o by_o his_o revelation_n so_o that_o they_o must_v go_v in_o their_o declaration_n either_o upon_o scripture_n or_o universal_a tradition_n but_o if_o they_o define_v any_o doctrine_n to_o be_v necessary_a without_o these_o ground_n they_o exceed_v their_o commission_n and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o submit_v to_o their_o decree_n or_o to_o believe_v their_o declaration_n to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a by_o a_o know_a instance_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o several_a pope_n and_o council_n have_v declare_v the_o depose_v doctrine_n and_o yet_o our_o author_n say_v it_o be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n with_o he_o why_o not_o since_o the_o pope_n and_o council_n have_v as_o evident_o deliver_v it_o as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v do_v purgatory_n or_o transubstantiation_n but_o he_o may_v say_v there_o be_v no_o anathema_n join_v to_o it_o suppose_v there_o be_v not_o but_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o case_n and_o if_o it_o be_v i_o will_v know_v whether_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o will_v then_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n though_o he_o believe_v that_o it_o want_v scripture_n and_o tradition_n if_o not_o than_o he_o see_v what_o this_o matter_n be_v bring_v to_o viz._n that_o although_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n declare_v these_o new_a doctrine_n to_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v yet_o if_o their_o declaration_n be_v not_o build_v no_o scripture_n and_o universal_a tradition_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o receive_v it_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o impossibility_n of_o innovation_n come_v in_o without_o notorious_a opposition_n i_o see_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o it_o where_o the_o alteration_n be_v not_o make_v at_o once_o but_o proceed_v gradual_o he_o may_v as_o well_o prove_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o fall_v into_o a_o dropsy_n or_o a_o hectick-fever_n unless_o he_o can_v tell_v the_o punctual_a time_n when_o it_o begin_v and_o he_o may_v as_o well_o argue_v thus_o such_o a_o man_n fall_v into_o a_o fever_n upon_o a_o great_a debauch_n and_o the_o physician_n be_v present_o send_v for_o to_o advise_v about_o he_o therefore_o the_o other_o man_n have_v no_o chronical_a distemper_n because_o he_o have_v no_o physician_n when_o he_o be_v first_o sick_a as_o because_o council_n be_v call_v against_o some_o heresy_n and_o great_a opposition_n make_v to_o they_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a there_o can_v be_v no_o innovation_n but_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v decline_v give_v a_o account_n by_o what_o degree_n and_o step_v and_o upon_o what_o occasion_n and_o with_o what_o opposition_n several_a of_o the_o doctrine_n define_v at_o trent_n be_v bring_v in_o for_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o so_o obscure_a as_o you_o will_v make_v it_o as_o to_o most_o of_o the_o point_n in_o difference_n between_o we_o but_o that_o be_v too_o large_a a_o task_n to_o be_v here_o undertake_v 3._o there_o be_v no_o colour_n for_o call_v in_o question_n the_o article_n of_o faith_n receive_v by_o we_o on_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o we_o reject_v those_o define_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n for_o we_o have_v the_o universal_a consent_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n for_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o of_o the_o four_o general_a council_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n who_o never_o pretend_v to_o determine_v any_o point_n to_o be_v necessary_a which_o be_v not_o reveal_v in_o scripture_n who_o sense_n be_v deliver_v down_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n but_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n proceed_v by_o a_o very_a different_a rule_n for_o it_o first_o set_v up_o a_o unwritten_a word_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o faith_n as_o well_o as_o the_o write_a which_o although_o it_o be_v

establish_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o conclusion_n have_v thus_o go_v through_o the_o several_a head_n which_o our_o author_n complain_v have_v be_v so_o much_o misrepresent_v it_o be_v now_o fit_a to_o

as_o
his_o method_n and_o representation_n without_o digresson_n or_o provoke_a reflection_n ii_o but_o i_o must_v declare_v myself_o very_o much_o unsatisfied_a with_o the_o method_n he_o have_v take_v to_o clear_v his_o party_n from_o these_o misrepresentation_n for_o 1._o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o draw_v a_o double_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o in_o the_o one_o he_o pretend_v to_o follow_v a_o certain_a rule_n but_o not_o in_o the_o other_o which_o be_v not_o fair_a and_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o the_o one_o he_o say_v he_o follow_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o their_o allow_a spiritual_a book_n and_o catechism_n and_o we_o find_v no_o fault_n with_o this_o but_o why_o must_v the_o other_o part_n then_o be_v draw_v by_o fancy_n or_o common_a prejudices_fw-la or_o ignorant_a mistake_v have_v we_o no_o rule_n whereby_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o church_n be_v to_o be_v take_v be_v not_o our_o article_n as_o easy_a to_o be_v have_v and_o understand_v as_o the_o

where_o it_o be_v never_o receive_v but_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v why_o our_o representation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o church_n as_o they_o from_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n if_o he_o say_v ●his_v design_n be_v to_o remove_v common_a prejudices_fw-la and_o vulgar_a mistake_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v if_o they_o be_v contra●y_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n we_o utter_o disow_v they_o we_o know_v very_o well_o there_o be_v person_n who_o have_v so_o false_a a_o notion_n of_o popery_n that_o they_o charge_v the_o rite_n and_o custom_n of_o our_o church_n with_o it_o but_o we_o pity_v their_o weakness_n and_o folly_n and_o be_v far_o from_o defend_v such_o misrepresentation_n but_o that_o which_o we_o adhere_v to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o church_n as_o it_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v and_o what_o representation_n be_v make_v agreeable_a thereto_o i_o undertake_v to_o defend_v and_o no_o other_o but_o if_o a_o person_n take_v the_o liberty_n to_o lay_v on_o what_o colour_n he_o please_v on_o one_o side_n it_o will_v be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o take_v they_o off_o in_o the_o other_o and_o then_o to_o say_v how_o much_o fair_a be_v our_o church_n than_o she_o be_v paint_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a but_o not_o so_o allowable_a a_o way_n of_o dispute_v for_o the_o same_o person_n to_o make_v the_o

if_o they_o have_v be_v true_o represent_v they_o will_v be_v find_v very_o lame_a and_o defective_a 2._o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v a_o account_n why_o he_o quote_v no_o author_n for_o his_o misrepresentation_n which_o be_v very_o unsatisfactory_a viz._n that_o he_o have_v describe_v the_o papist_n therein_o exact_o according_a to_o the_o apprehension_n he_o have_v of_o he_o when_o he_o

other_o thing_n when_o he_o say_v he_o have_v draw●_n his_o misrepresentation_n exact_o according_a to_o his_o own_o apprehension_n it_o be_v true_a he_o say_v he_o add_v some_o few_o point_n which_o be_v violent_o charge_v on_o he_o by_o his_o friend_n but_o we_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v this_o be_v none_o of_o they_o but_o let_v we_o suppose_v it_o true_a that_o he_o have_v such_o apprehension_n himself_o be_v these_o fit_a to_o be_v print_v as_o the_o character_n of_o a_o party_n what_o will_v they_o say_v to_o we_o if_o a_o spanish_a convert_n shall_v give_v a_o character_n of_o protestant_n according_a to_o the_o common_a opinion_n the_o people_n there_o have_v of_o they_o and_o set_v down_o in_o one_o column_n their_o monstrous_a misrepresentation_n and_o in_o

a_o bad_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o change_n 3._o the_o account_n he_o give_v of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o his_o character_n afford_v as_o little_a satisfaction_n for_o although_o in_o the_o general_n it_o be_v well_o that_o he_o pretend_v to_o keep_v to_o a_o rule_n yet_o 1_o he_o show_v no_o authority_n he_o have_v to_o interpret_v that_o rule_n in_o his_o own_o sense_n now_o several_a of_o his_o representation_n depend_v upon_o his_o own_o private_a sense_n and_o opinion_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o many_o other_o as_o zealous_a for_o their_o church_n as_o himself_o and_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o his_o representation_n rather_o than_o to_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n he_o say_v the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n be_v no_o matter_n of_o

against_o the_o declaration_n of_o pope_n and_o council_n but_o suppose_v the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o rule_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n what_o authority_n have_v he_o to_o declare_v it_o when_o tridentini_n the_o pope_n have_v express_o forbid_v all_o prelate_n to_o do_v it_o and_o reserve_v it_o to_o the_o apostolical_a sea_n 2._o he_o leave_v out_o in_o
