of_o transubstantiation_n be_v far_o from_o be_v apostolical_a it_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o roman_a church_n by_o the_o lateran_n council_n under_o pope_n innocent_a the_o three_o and_o with_o it_o that_o reverend_a doctrine_n of_o depose_v king_n in_o case_n of_o heresy_n and_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n these_o be_v two_o twin-doctrin_n that_o hunt_v in_o couple_n and_o for_o the_o last_o though_o they_o be_v now_o ashamed_a to_o own_v it_o yet_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o former_o shy_a to_o practice_v it_o next_o their_o worship_a of_o image_n which_o practice_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o subtle_a distinction_n and_o evasion_n about_o it_o be_v but_o the_o very_a same_o the_o heathen_n use_v in_o the_o same_o case_n and_o be_v as_o point_v blank_a against_o the_o second_o commandment_n as_o wilful_a murder_n be_v against_o the_o six_o which_o the_o popish_a teacher_n be_v so_o sensible_a of_o and_o so_o afraid_a the_o people_n shall_v be_v so_o too_o that_o therefore_o in_o their_o ordinary_a catechism_n and_o manual_n of_o devotion_n they_o leave_v out_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o divide_v the_o ten_o into_o two_o to_o make_v up_o the_o number_n that_o the_o infallible_a church_n of_o rome_n may_v not_o appear_v so_o fallible_a as_o to_o act_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o command_v of_o god_n i_o shall_v pass_v by_o their_o take_v away_o the_o cup_n in_o the_o sacrament_n from_o the_o laity_n though_o our_o saviour_n order_v it_o to_o be_v give_v in_o both_o kind_n and_o they_o may_v as_o well_o take_v away_o the_o bread_n as_o the_o cup_n and_o both_o as_o either_o and_o for_o the_o papist_n pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n do_v but_o read_v st._n paul_n on_o that_o subject_a as_o to_o the_o great_a error_n of_o do_v it_o and_o he_o will_v satisfy_v you_o though_o he_o can_v convince_v they_o next_o let_v we_o refiect_v a_o little_a upon_o that_o part_n of_o the_o romish_a doctrine_n of_o pray_v to_o and_o worship_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n which_o have_v be_v now_o for_o some_o age_n past_a a_o principal_a part_n of_o their_o religion_n for_o they_o build_v chapel_n erect_v altar_n and_o sanctify_v holiday_n to_o she_o in_o short_a she_o make_v the_o great_a part_n both_o of_o their_o public_a worship_n and_o private_a devotion_n they_o pray_v to_o her_o more_o than_o either_o to_o god_n or_o our_o saviour_n the_o papist_n use_v ten_o ave_fw-la maries_n for_o one_o pater_fw-la noster_fw-la indeed_o one_o who_o consider_v this_o and_o have_v never_o read_v the_o bible_n may_v well_o have_v conclude_v that_o there_o have_v be_v more_o say_v of_o she_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o of_o god_n or_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o have_v be_v full_a from_o one_o end_v to_o the_o other_o of_o precept_n and_o exhortation_n for_o the_o worship_v of_o she_o yet_o i_o defy_v any_o papist_n to_o show_v i_o as_o to_o this_o doctrine_n of_o pray_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n where_o she_o be_v so_o much_o as_o once_o name_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o any_o of_o their_o epistle_n or_o where_o there_o be_v one_o verse_n in_o the_o whole_a bible_n that_o savour_v in_o the_o least_o of_o pay_v worship_n to_o she_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o take_v all_o occasion_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o it_o as_o when_o they_o tell_v he_o your_o mother_n and_o your_o brethren_n be_v without_o who_o say_v he_o be_v my_o mother_n and_o my_o brethren_n he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n the_o same_o be_v my_o mother_n my_o sister_n and_o my_o brother_n and_o when_o the_o woman_n break_v out_o in_o a_o rapture_n concern_v the_o bless_a mother_n of_o the_o lord_n bless_a be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n that_o give_v thou_o suck_v our_o saviour_n divert_v it_o to_o another_o thing_n by_o say_v yea_o rather_o bless_v be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o do_v our_o saviour_n or_o his_o apostle_n in_o any_o of_o their_o particular_a direction_n and_o precept_n concern_v prayer_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o and_o by_o who_o we_o be_v to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o god_n give_v the_o least_o hint_n or_o intimation_n of_o pray_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n or_o make_v use_n of_o her_o mediation_n for_o we_o or_o be_v there_o one_o verse_n in_o the_o whole_a bible_n that_o order_n we_o in_o the_o least_o to_o pay_v her_o worship_n in_o short_a do_v god_n ever_o command_v it_o do_v ever_o our_o saviour_n teach_v it_o do_v ever_o the_o apostle_n preach_v it_o or_o do_v ever_o the_o primitive_a christian_n practise_v it_o nay_o do_v any_o of_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o first_o three_o hundred_o year_n ever_o name_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o pay_v her_o worship_n or_o make_v she_o any_o part_n of_o their_o religion_n indeed_o about_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o four_o century_n it_o begin_v to_o creep_v in_o among_o some_o superstitious_a person_n and_o therefore_o epiphanius_n who_o live_v about_o that_o time_n call_v it_o the_o heresy_n of_o woman_n and_o since_o it_o be_v so_o much_o teach_v and_o common_o practise_v in_o the_o roman_a church_n without_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o a_o command_n in_o god_n word_n for_o it_o give_v i_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o reflect_v on_o the_o infallibility_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n pretend_v to_o because_o i_o be_o sure_a this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v into_o she_o as_o many_o error_n as_o she_o think_v convenient_a to_o receive_v which_o be_v more_o than_o a_o few_o and_o yet_o this_o infallible_a church_n can_v yet_o tell_v where_o this_o infallibility_n be_v seat_v whether_o in_o the_o pope_n alone_o or_o in_o a_o council_n alone_o or_o in_o both_o together_o or_o in_o a_o diffusive_a body_n of_o christian_n but_o they_o be_v sure_o they_o have_v it_o though_o they_o know_v not_o where_o it_o be_v indeed_o i_o can_v imagine_v how_o they_o or_o any_o can_v think_v it_o reasonable_a that_o this_o infallibility_n be_v confirm_v on_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o all_o the_o primitive_a christian_n do_v believe_v it_o and_o have_v recourse_n to_o it_o and_o yet_o that_o this_o very_a roman_a church_n shall_v be_v still_o at_o a_o loss_n where_o it_o be_v and_o that_o shall_v make_v a_o difference_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o difference_n that_o not_o one_o word_n shall_v be_v intimate_v in_o all_o the_o bible_n of_o this_o high_a and_o peculiar_a privilege_n above_o all_o other_o church_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o all_o their_o epistle_n shall_v give_v no_o notice_n or_o caution_n to_o christian_n to_o appeal_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o determine_v any_o difficulty_n which_o even_o in_o those_o time_n happen_v among_o they_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v then_o never_o speak_v of_o it_o though_o there_o be_v so_o many_o occasion_n for_o it_o nor_o that_o the_o ancient_a father_n in_o all_o their_o dispute_n with_o the_o heretic_n shall_v never_o appeal_v to_o this_o judge_n nay_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o in_o all_o case_n of_o difference_n it_o be_v such_o a_o sure_a and_o speedy_a way_n of_o end_v they_o all_o among_o christian_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o doctor_n tillotson_n argument_n and_o it_o be_v well_o for_o the_o papist_n he_o have_v do_v with_o their_o religion_n too_o for_o his_o reason_n and_o argument_n like_v skrew_v gun_n they_o carry_v far_o and_o pierce_v deep_o than_o any_o other_o which_o be_v of_o the_o ordinary_a level_n among_o we_o and_o now_o by_o this_o infallible_a church_n leave_v though_o i_o pretend_v not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o be_v a_o scholar_n much_o less_o a_o divine_a yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o without_o be_v either_o to_o prove_v the_o roman_a church_n since_o her_o add_v twelve_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o old_a apostolical_a creed_n which_o be_v coin_v in_o the_o mint_n of_o trent_n and_o publish_v by_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o to_o be_v very_o false_a and_o erroneous_a in_o her_o principle_n though_o she_o do_v with_o so_o much_o confidence_n but_o no_o truth_n say_v that_o she_o hold_v at_o this_o time_n the_o old_a true_a catholic_n and_o apostolical_a faith_n and_o yet_o declare_v herself_o to_o believe_v at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o new_a trent_n creed_n to_o be_v the_o true_a catholic_n faith_n without_o which_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v which_o be_v the_o very_a word_n in_o that_o creed_n but_o before_o i_o make_v any_o far_a progress_n on_o this_o subject_a i_o will_v recommend_v to_o you_o two_o remark_n well_o worth_a your_o observation_n on_o this_o worthy_a council_n the_o first_o be_v its_o heedless_a contradict_v
