A26001	Some generall observations upon Dr. Stillingfleet's book, and way of wrighting with a vindication of St. Ignatius Loyola, and his followers the Iesuits, from the foul aspersions he has lately cast upon them, in his discourse concerning the idolatry, &c. : in four letters, written to A.B.

please_v to_o observe_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o his_o severe_a deal_n with_o roman-catholic_n the_o second_o his_o comical_a and_o jest_a way_n of_o express_v himself_o the_o three_o his_o

with_o other_o protestant_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v a_o true_a church_n yea_o the_o very_a same_o with_o they_o and_o a_o true_a way_n to_o salvation_n and_o that_o she_o hold_v the_o

parson_n of_o who_o i_o have_v it_o the_o parson_n be_v ready_a to_o publish_v a_o moderate_a treatise_n in_o grotius_n his_o way_n but_o the_o bishop_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n suffer_v it_o to_o go_v

the_o book_n must_v be_v suppress_v dr._n stillingfleet_n be_v direct_o of_o the_o bishop_n mind_n he_o will_v stroke_v we_o no_o more_o he_o will_v not_o court_v we_o into_o the_o same_o church_n or_o flatter_v we_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o he_o have_v do_v former_o he_o be_v now_o all_o for_o dry_a blow_n and_o down_o right_o strike_v and_o will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o any_o less_o charge_n to_o beat_v down_o popery_n than_o that_o of_o fanaticism_n idolatry_n and_o unavoidable_a damnation_n how_o in_o consequent_o to_o his_o own_o maxim_n you_o have_v partly_o see_v already_o and_o have_v be_v clear_o evidence_v in_o that_o short_a but_o smart_a piece_n dr._n stillingfleet_n against_o dr._n stillingfleet_n where_o he_o be_v make_v not_o only_o to_o wipe_v away_o the_o dirt_n which_o he_o have_v cast_v at_o the_o roman_a church_n but_o to_o throw_v a_o good_a part_n of_o it_o in_o his_o own_o face_n by_o manifest_o prove_v himself_o a_o idolater_n by_o the_o very_a same_o argument_n which_o he_o bring_v to_o prove_v catholic_n guilty_a of_o that_o crime_n and_o the_o author_n have_v he_o be_v dispose_v can_v with_o as_o much_o ease_n have_v prove_v he_o a_o fanatic_a as_o a_o idolater_n from_o the_o same_o principle_n he_o make_v use_v of_o against_o catholic_n 4._o for_o why_o i_o pray_v be_v we_o fanatic_n in_o his_o judgement_n because_o forsooth_o we_o countenance_n some_o private_a revelation_n and_o allow_v some_o of_o our_o saint_n to_o have_v have_v a_o enthusiastic_a way_n as_o he_o call_v it_o in_o their_o devotion_n now_o this_o argument_n be_v far_o short_a of_o prove_v we_o fanatic_n because_o we_o own_v nothing_o in_o this_o kind_n but_o what_o be_v approve_v of_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v ever_o watchful_a and_o severe_a in_o punish_v all_o imposture_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v pretend_a revelation_n or_o any_o such_o extraordinary_a favour_n of_o almighty_a god_n to_o pass_v for_o currant_n but_o what_o have_v past_o the_o test_n of_o a_o rigorous_a examination_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o all_o such_o pretender_n be_v immediate_o clap_v up_o by_o the_o inquisition_n and_o do_v not_o easy_o recover_v their_o liberty_n till_o they_o have_v give_v a_o good_a account_n of_o themselves_o so_o that_o none_o among_o we_o be_v permit_v to_o be_v their_o own_o judge_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o particular_a way_n of_o devotion_n but_o all_o be_v oblige_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n and_o be_v guide_v by_o their_o lawful_a pastor_n and_o superior_n which_o submission_n effectual_o destroy_v the_o very_a notion_n of_o fanaticism_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o a_o private_a spirit_n and_o independent_a way_n of_o proceed_v contrary_a to_o authority_n 5._o yet_o as_o to_o the_o doctor_n the_o argument_n come_v home_o to_o prove_v he_o a_o fanatic_a for_o i_o argue_v thus_o he_o be_v a_o fanatic_a that_o

the_o only_a thing_n i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o doctor_n pretend_v to_o rule_v himself_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n by_o his_o private_a spirit_n reveal_v the_o truth_n unto_o he_o this_o

after_o all_o their_o endeavour_n and_o best_a enquiry_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n in_o a_o quit_v different_a sense_n from_o that_o in_o which_o the_o doctor_n understand_v they_o he_o must_v

therefore_o as_o much_o concern_v to_o be_v sober_a and_o serious_a in_o inquire_v out_o that_o true_a faith_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n they_o have_v the_o same_o promise_v make_v

it_o be_v this_o the_o faculty_n which_o the_o doctor_n have_v of_o discern_a truth_n from_o falsehood_n with_o his_o sober_a and_o serious_a enquiry_n have_v a_o extraordinary_a private_a assistance_n which_o other_o want_v and_o this_o direct_v he_o so_o infallible_o that_o he_o can_v miss_v what_o be_v this_o in_o plain_a english_a but_o to_o rely_v upon_o i_o know_v not_o what_o infallible_a private_a spirit_n or_o to_o pretend_v to_o a_o enthusiastic_a way_n of_o expound_v the_o scripture_n when_o the_o sense_n be_v in_o dispute_n be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v himself_o

and_o after_o this_o i_o think_v he_o shall_v leave_v of_o clamour_v so_o much_o against_o new_a revelation_n since_o he_o have_v they_o at_o his_o command_n 6._o but_o do_v you_o not_o wonder_v sir_n
