A66406	The papist represented, and not misrepresented being in answer to the second sheet of the second part of the Papist misrepresented and represented : and for a further vindication of the catechism truly representing the doctrines and practices of the Church of Rome, in the point of their praying to the cross.

in_o the_o public_a office_n to_o join_v with_o she_o in_o the_o adoration_n of_o it_o 6._o as_o gretser_n do_v acknowledge_v for_o the_o missal_n say_v at_o the_o uncover_v of_o the_o cross_n

i_o must_v not_o say_v prove_v till_o i_o have_v clear_v the_o point_n but_o however_o if_o it_o be_v not_o prove_v there_o be_v somewhat_o fair_o offer_v towards_o it_o when_o it_o produce_v the_o

take_v notice_n of_o the_o extravagant_a censure_n and_o inveterate_a expression_n scatter_v through_o the_o whole_a sum_v up_o what_o he_o have_v say_v and_o it_o come_v all_o to_o this_o that_o this_o hymn_n be_v of_o ancient_a composure_n that_o it_o be_v a_o hymn_n and_o not_o a_o prayer_n and_o so_o be_v poetical_a it_o be_v but_o a_o rhetorical_a flight_n and_o apostrophe_n frequent_a in_o scripture_n and_o the_o father_n that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o that_o be_v i_o suppose_v a_o few_o word_v in_o one_o hymn_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o the_o church_n have_v no_o prayer_n to_o the_o cross_n nor_o be_v they_o ever_o direct_v any_o where_o to_o pray_v to_o it_o in_o fine_a he_o say_v the_o meaning_n of_o their_o church_n in_o say_v that_o hymn_n be_v hail_o o_o christ_n our_o only_a hope_n etc._n etc._n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v upon_o the_o perusal_n of_o the_o whole_a that_o i_o have_v do_v no_o injury_n to_o what_o he_o have_v say_v by_o this_o short_a and_o close_a account_n of_o it_o but_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o prove_v that_o this_o be_v a_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o a_o hymn_n and_o that_o there_o be_v part_n of_o their_o office_n to_o corroborate_v the_o sense_n i_o have_v give_v of_o it_o if_o i_o prove_v that_o their_o church_n have_v prayer_n to_o the_o cross_n and_o direct_v the_o people_n to_o pray_v to_o it_o i_o think_v there_o will_v need_v little_o more_o to_o vindicate_v the_o catechism_n from_o all_o that_o defamation_n he_o have_v so_o plentiful_o cast_v upon_o it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n 300._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o this_o hymn_n be_v find_v in_o st._n ambrose_n work_n so_o bellarmine_n indeed_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o paris_n edition_n 1540_o which_o he_o use_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v other_o edition_n in_o which_o it_o be_v not_o so_o that_o i_o may_v as_o well_o say_v it_o be_v not_o in_o st._n ambrose_n work_n as_o he_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v and_o both_o alike_o true_a but_o be_v this_o any_o credit_n to_o it_o then_o it_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o hymn_n optatus_n votis_fw-la omnium_fw-la &_o christ_n qui_fw-la lux_fw-la es_fw-la &_o dies_fw-la etc._n etc._n which_o bellarmine_n say_v be_v unworthy_a of_o so_o great_a a_o name_n and_o not_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o he_o but_o however_o if_o st._n ambrose_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o it_o he_o have_v find_v out_o a_o learned_a bishop_n to_o father_n it_o upon_o one_o vincentius_n fortunatus_n who_o he_o say_v compose_v it_o to_o be_v sing_v by_o his_o church_n on_o passion_n

fortunatus_n which_o mistake_v i_o shall_v be_v so_o candid_a as_o not_o to_o impute_v to_o his_o ignorance_n in_o these_o matter_n but_o to_o the_o haste_n which_o he_o that_o intend_v to_o write_v a_o weekly_a packet_n of_o controversy_n must_v be_v more_o or_o less_o liable_a to_o fortun._n but_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v in_o the_o point_n for_o though_o he_o have_v the_o learned_a bellarmine_n before_o he_o that_o seem_v to_o say_v or_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v it_o believe_v that_o this_o bishop_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o hymn_n yet_o i_o find_v other_o doubt_v of_o it_o and_o among_o they_o be_v gretser_n who_o though_o a_o diligent_a reader_n and_o one_o as_o willing_a and_o ready_a to_o lay_v hold_n of_o what_o may_v serve_v for_o his_o purpose_n as_o bellarmine_n or_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o yet_o speak_v very_o doubtful_o of_o it_o 53._o and_o say_v some_o do_v attribute_v it_o to_o theodulphus_n bishop_n of_o orleans_n other_o to_o fortunatus_n the_o former_a of_o which_o live_v 265_o year_n after_o the_o latter_a according_a to_o bellarmine_n so_o that_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v no_o certainty_n at_o all_o in_o this_o matter_n which_o our_o author_n have_v yet_o so_o positive_o assert_v but_o be_v that_o as_o it_o will_v it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o nor_o indeed_o what_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o author_n be_v for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o know_v what_o church_n do_v constant_o use_v it_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n that_o church_n do_v take_v it_o we_o have_v enough_o for_o our_o

be_v indulge_v to_o a_o poetical_a fancy_n that_o be_v not_o otherwise_o to_o be_v indulge_v and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o their_o church_n to_o induce_v and_o oblige_v we_o to_o take_v it_o in_o a_o sense_n quite_o different_a from_o what_o he_o impose_v on_o it_o it_o will_v not_o be_v fair_a or_o ingenuous_a to_o force_v a_o proper_a sense_n upon_o it_o when_o the_o nature_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o their_o own_o declaration_n require_v it_o to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o improper_a but_o when_o we_o know_v that_o the_o cross_n be_v among_o they_o a_o representation_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n and_o have_v for_o that_o reason_n a_o worship_n give_v and_o order_v to_o be_v give_v to_o it_o as_o a_o represent_v object_n when_o we_o
