reflection_n upon_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o papist_n misrepresent_v etc._n etc._n direct_v to_o the_o answerer_n sir_n i_o have_v peruse_v your_o answer_n and_o be_o glad_a to_o find_v it_o so_o moderate_a and_o calm_a you_o make_v here_o and_o there_o some_o personal_a reflection_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v do_v sober_o without_o heat_n and_o passion_n i_o be_o still_o bind_v to_o thank_v you_o if_o not_o on_o my_o particular_a yet_o on_o the_o public_a score_n for_o have_v by_o this_o convince_v the_o world_n that_o man_n of_o different_a judgement_n may_v now_o treat_v of_o matter_n of_o controversy_n without_o make_v use_n of_o satyr_n and_o scurrility_n or_o let_v cavil_v fill_v up_o the_o place_n of_o judgement_n and_o reason_n this_o method_n i_o can_v but_o approve_v as_o most_o agreeable_a to_o christianity_n and_o if_o i_o pursue_v the_o same_o in_o give_v a_o far_a explication_n of_o some_o most_o material_a point_n you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o question_v in_o my_o small_a treatise_n as_o also_o in_o let_v you_o know_v my_o far_a sense_n of_o you_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v do_v without_o offence_n and_o that_o the_o shortness_n i_o shall_v use_v will_v be_v easy_o pardon_v if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o the_o purpose_n sir_n you_o let_v i_o know_v my_o first_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v be_v not_o satisfactory_a as_o not_o found_v on_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o party_n and_o the_o quotation_n of_o author_n but_o be_v rather_o my_o own_o false_a apprehension_n my_o ignorant_a my_o childish_a or_o wilful_a mistake_n indeed_o have_v i_o be_v breed_v up_o in_o a_o wood_n and_o jump_v forth_o into_o the_o world_n with_o this_o character_n in_o my_o head_n i_o shall_v have_v have_v reason_n to_o subscribe_v to_o you_o 11._o but_o because_o upon_o examination_n i_o find_v i_o be_v educate_v in_o a_o well-peopled_n town_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o pulpit_n and_o live_v always_o in_o company_n and_o conversation_n i_o can_v imagine_v this_o character_n so_o my_o own_o as_o you_o seem_v to_o understand_v it_o but_o rather_o my_o own_o as_o i_o receive_v it_o and_o you_o need_v not_o wonder_v that_o i_o do_v not_o heretofore_o by_o the_o help_n of_o book_n or_o friend_n receive_v better_a information_n and_o correct_v my_o false_a apprehension_n of_o popery_n for_o indeed_o be_v i_o even_o at_o this_o time_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o great_a number_n of_o these_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n will_v be_v with_o i_o much_o black_a yet_o 11._o than_o i_o have_v there_o draw_v it_o there_o will_v

the_o character_n you_o give_v of_o it_o throughout_o your_o answer_n and_o especial_o at_o the_o end_n pag._n 161._o viz._n that_o it_o be_v that_o you_o can_v never_o yield_v to_o without_o betray_v the_o truth_n renounce_v your_o sense_n and_o reason_n wound_v your_o conscience_n dishonour_v god_n and_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o sacrament_n pervert_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o

say_v that_o my_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v be_v make_v up_o of_o false_a apprehension_n ignorant_a childish_a and_o wilful_a mistake_v he_o own_v it_o to_o be_v no_o better_o but_o then_o sir_n you_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o make_v use_n of_o your_o authority_n with_o my_o friend_n and_o acquaintance_n in_o assure_v they_o that_o wheresoever_o they_o shall_v for_o the_o

ignorant_a childish_a and_o wilful_a mistake_v of_o the_o relatour_n upon_o this_o condition_n i_o close_o this_o point_n only_o add_v that_o in_o lay_v down_o the_o colour_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v i_o never_o think_v of_o declare_v the_o article_n of_o your_o church_n or_o by_o misrepresenting_a the_o papist_n to_o represent_v you_o 9_o as_o you_o seem_v to_o mistake_v i_o but_o only_o to_o show_v the_o many_o mistake_v and_o error_n to_o be_v find_v among_o protestant_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o concern_v the_o notion_n of_o popery_n for_o debtor_n sum_fw-la

will_v close_v with_o i_o in_o this_o point_n that_o misrepresenting_a be_v misrepresenting_a though_o from_o those_o who_o dissent_v from_o your_o church_n but_o we_o go_v on_o to_o the_o other_o character_n of_o the_o papist_n represent_v and_o this_o too_o it_o seem_v afford_v you_o as_o little_a satisfaction_n as_o the_o former_a on_o several_a account_n and_o first_o you_o move_v a_o

make_v a_o collection_n of_o private_a man_n sentiment_n and_o obtrude_v they_o for_o the_o true_o represent_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n in_o who_o communion_n they_o be_v and_o this_o be_v

may_v be_v you_o will_v be_v more_o sensible_a of_o this_o truth_n for_o althô_o you_o seem_v to_o maintain_v in_o your_o answer_n 57_o that_o good_a work_n of_o justify_v person_n be_v not_o free_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o just_a this_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v immediate_o charge_v for_o the_o belief_n of_o your_o church_n althô_o mr._n thorndike_n seem_v to_o allow_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a yet_o neither_o from_o he_o be_v we_o to_o take_v a_o true_a representation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o church_n tho'_o a_o worthy_a divine_a declare_v 152._o that_o in_o case_n a_o popish_a

yet_o will_v it_o not_o be_v honest_a hence_o to_o blacken_v his_o church_n with_o this_o dis-loyal_a principle_n as_o if_o she_o allow_v her_o member_n tho'_o not_o to_o fight_v against_o yet_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o destruction_n of_o such_o a_o prince_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o king_n james_n the_o first_o his_o hold_v christ_n to_o be_v true_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o

body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v contain_v in_o they_o and_o then_o far_a add_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v necessary_o propitiatory_a and_o impetratory_n both_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v the_o same_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v also_o both_o propitiatory_a and_o

or_o our_o church_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v easy_o grant_v that_o no_o appeal_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v to_o such_o private_a author_n but_o the_o undertaker_n be_v oblige_v to_o keep_v close_o

against_o what_o i_o have_v represent_v for_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o papist_n so_o so_o far_o will_v i_o allow_v you_o have_v give_v i_o a_o just_a answer_n and_o as_o much_o as_o you_o fail_v of_o this_o so_o much_o you_o come_v short_a of_o what_o you_o undertake_v which_o i_o recommend_v to_o your_o own_o perusal_n to_o examine_v but_o for_o any_o of_o these_o way_n they_o be_v insignificant_a to_o your_o design_n and_o deserve_v not_o to_o stand_v under_o the_o title_n of_o a_o answer_n for_o how_o do_v your_o acknowledge_v our_o doctrine_n to_o be_v you_o your_o produce_v

of_o a_o papist_n as_o i_o have_v represent_v it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o what_o real_o he_o be_v bind_v as_o a_o papist_n to_o believe_v and_o yet_o this_o
