church_n antiquity_n etc._n etc._n i_o apprehend_v by_o this_o author_n genius_n that_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a for_o some_o man_n to_o write_v farce_n than_o controversy_n and_o though_o i_o can_v say_v whether_o or_o no_o any_o man_n ever_o undertake_v the_o confutation_n of_o bellarmin_n over_o a_o pot_n as_o our_o author_n elegant_o begin_v his_o advice_n yet_o he_o seem_v to_o i_o by_o his_o ludicrous_a behaviour_n to_o have_v engage_v in_o his_o defence_n in_o that_o sort_n of_o humour_n he_o may_v think_v it_o vanity_n if_o he_o please_v in_o the_o reverend_n and_o learned_a author_n of_o the_o piece_n he_o attaque_n to_o assail_v the_o roman_a champion_n himself_o yet_o even_o i_o who_o never_o enter_v the_o field_n of_o controversy_n before_o shall_v presume_v to_o engage_v with_o such_o a_o smatterer_n in_o the_o noble_a science_n as_o his_o second_o and_o yet_o immediate_o after_o this_o fit_a of_o rhetoric_n he_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o the_o pot-qualifications_a be_v the_o case_n of_o he_o who_o have_v undertake_v to_o answer_n bellarmin_n bellarmin_n s_z mark_n of_o the_o church_n no_o why_o then_o do_v he_o commence_v his_o advice_n with_o such_o a_o suggestion_n do_v he_o think_v fit_a to_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v impertinent_a a_o humour_n especial_o in_o conjunction_n with_o buffonery_n in_o serious_a affair_n i_o will_v advise_v he_o against_o for_o the_o future_a if_o the_o powerful_a influence_n of_o a_o ill_a habit_n have_v not_o total_o overrule_v his_o liberty_n in_o the_o matter_n and_o thus_o after_o the_o witty_a introduction_n to_o his_o little_a good_a will_n little_a enough_o i_o dare_v say_v we_o come_v now_o to_o receive_v the_o advice_n of_o this_o grave_a controversial_a counsellor_n in_o the_o case_n depend_v first_o then_o he_o pretend_v for_o i_o will_v relate_v his_o advice_n in_o shorthand_n as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v till_o i_o find_v something_o worth_a the_o transcribe_v that_o bellarmin_n never_o mean_v what_o his_o adversary_n undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o plea_n of_o bare_a antiquity_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n no_o but_o this_o gentleman_n must_v own_o that_o he_o do_v when_o i_o have_v tell_v he_o only_o that_o by_o bare_a antiquity_n his_o adversary_n understand_v antiquity_n abstract_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o truth_n those_o ancient_a truth_n deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n now_o i_o presume_v he_o will_v not_o say_v that_o bellarmin_n any_o where_o express_o in_o his_o book_n of_o note_n muchless_a in_o this_o chapter_n make_v the_o consent_n of_o doctrine_n with_o the_o write_a word_n which_o be_v not_o bare_a but_o true_a antiquity_n a_o note_n of_o the_o church_n though_o indeed_o such_o be_v the_o force_n of_o truth_n he_o can_v hardly_o keep_v off_o of_o that_o argument_n in_o his_o nine_o chapter_n he_o make_v agreement_n in_o doctrine_n with_o the_o ancient_a church_n a_o six_o note_n of_o the_o church_n ancient_n he_o far_o explain_v by_o apostolic_a tell_v we_o likewise_o out_o of_o tertullian_n that_o a_o church_n be_v so_o call_v as_o for_o other_o reason_n so_o for_o her_o conspire_v with_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o doctrine_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o most_o pitiful_o slide_v off_o to_o quit_v another_o thing_n as_o will_v appear_v to_o any_o one_o who_o shall_v examine_v that_o chapter_n but_o it_o may_v be_v almost_o worth_a a_o man_n while_n to_o read_v the_o adviser_n comment_n upon_o bellarmin_n text_n though_o i_o hate_v transcribe_v he_o say_v indeed_o say_v my_o author_n that_o whoever_o at_o this_o time_n will_v find_v out_o the_o catholic_n church_n profess_v in_o the_o creed_n among_o so_o many_o pretender_n must_v not_o apply_v himself_o to_o any_o upstart_n congregation_n which_o be_v never_o visible_a in_o the_o world_n but_o of_o late_a year_n but_o to_o such_o a_o church_n which_o have_v be_v of_o as_o long_o stand_v as_o ever_o since_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o consequent_o such_o a_o church_n to_o which_o antiquity_n of_o necessity_n at_o this_o time_n belong_v this_o bellarmin_n assert_n where_o i_o observe_v first_o that_o by_o this_o last_o expression_n he_o represent_v his_o own_o flourish_a gloss_n as_o bellarmin_n word_n which_o they_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n that_o look_v a_o little_a towards_o a_o design_n of_o put_v a_o trick_n upon_o his_o reader_n 2_o that_o we_o be_v here_o shrewd_o direct_v to_o find_v out_o the_o catholic_n church_n by_o find_v out_o a_o particular_a to_o which_o we_o must_v stick_v without_o far_a enquiry_n 3_o that_o this_o man_n pass_v a_o genere_fw-la ad_fw-la genus_fw-la from_o antiquity_n to_o visibility_n which_o the_o better_a logic_n of_o his_o master_n bellarmin_n will_v not_o probable_o have_v suffer_v he_o to_o have_v do_v and_o last_o after_o all_o that_o he_o unlucky_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o substance_n with_o what_o he_o disprove_v in_o his_o adversary_n for_o what_o do_v all_o his_o gloss_n amount_v to_o but_o to_o this_o that_o he_o who_o will_v find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n must_v overlook_v all_o such_o as_o boast_v not_o of_o antiquity_n at_o all_o adventure_n without_o any_o regard_n have_v to_o the_o true_a antiquity_n of_o their_o doctrine_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o they_o pretend_v to_o and_o pitch_n upon_o that_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n which_o have_v be_v of_o as_o long_o stand_v of_o as_o long_o stand_v bare_o without_o any_o far_a respect_n as_o ever_o since_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o what_o be_v such_o a_o stand_n as_o this_o but_o bare_a antiquity_n unless_o he_o can_v prove_v a_o necessary_a entail_n of_o truth_n upon_o a_o long_a succession_n which_o all_o the_o world_n can_v never_o do_v and_o therefore_o hope_v he_o may_v be_v a_o little_a more_o happy_a in_o follow_v than_o in_o give_v advice_n i_o present_v he_o with_o his_o own_o and_o the_o second_o he_o give_v that_o when_o he_o will_v confute_v his_o adversary_n he_o say_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v and_o withal_o desire_v he_o to_o attend_v for_o the_o future_a more_o diligent_o to_o the_o sense_n than_o to_o the_o expression_n of_o a_o period_n but_o wherein_o do_v the_o confuter_n of_o bellarmin_n thus_o unlucky_o jump_v with_o he_o why_o in_o explicate_v and_o prove_v the_o same_o antiquity_n to_o be_v a_o note_n of_o the_o church_n which_o bellarmin_n affirm_v to_o be_v such_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o if_o bellarmin_n by_o antiquity_n mean_v such_o as_o his_o confuter_n explain_v p._n 45._o as_o be_v pretend_v than_o he_o understand_v by_o that_o word_n a_o agreement_n in_o doctrine_n with_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a his_o adversary_n mean_v but_o we_o have_v show_v before_o that_o that_o can_v not_o be_v bellarmin_n intention_n 2_o that_o if_o the_o cardinal_n discourse_n upon_o this_o note_n do_v real_o tend_v to_o prove_v not_o antiquity_n but_o as_o the_o confuter_n compendious_o distinguish_v priority_n to_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o do_v then_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a to_o i_o that_o he_o present_o grow_v weary_a of_o his_o note_n which_o he_o can_v not_o manage_v without_o blending_a and_o confound_a it_o with_o another_o more_o proper_a and_o pertinent_a to_o his_o business_n though_o beside_o his_o design_n the_o three_o inconsistency_n which_o he_o think_v he_o have_v find_v in_o the_o confuter_n of_o bellarmin_n be_v this_o that_o have_v prove_v antiquity_n not_o to_o be_v a_o proper_a note_n of_o the_o church_n because_o it_o do_v not_o always_o belong_v to_o it_o as_o a_o proper_a characteristic_a of_o a_o thing_n ought_v to_o do_v there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o church_n be_v new_a p._n 42._o he_o shall_v nothwistanding_n in_o the_o 45_o p._n assert_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o true_a antiquity_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o they_o be_v new_a likewise_o and_o here_o he_o think_v he_o have_v undoubted_o catch_v he_o but_o alas_o his_o pen_n be_v more_o nimble_a than_o his_o thought_n be_v deep_a if_o indeed_o bellarmin_n adversary_n in_o this_o point_n have_v advance_v this_o proposition_n that_o antiquity_n be_v a_o proper_a note_n or_o inseparable_a property_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o write_v word_n and_o have_v after_o this_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o antiquity_n can_v not_o be_v such_o a_o note_n of_o the_o church_n because_o the_o church_n be_v
if_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v in_o those_o day_n presume_v to_o have_v break_v down_o all_o the_o ancient_a mound_n and_o boundary_n of_o jurisdiction_n the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d
