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 cunning_a artifices_fw-la to_o deceive_v his_o reader_n 2._o his_o severity_n be_v the_o more_o remarkable_a because_o contrary_a to_o the_o modern_a stile_n of_o his_o own_o party_n and_o cross_v to_o his_o own_o sentiment_n deliver_v in_o his_o rational_a account_n p._n 1._o ch._n 2._o &_o p._n 3._o ch._n 4._o &_o p._n 54._o for_o there_o he_o be_v so_o complaisant_a as_o to_o confess_v 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 foundation_n that_o be_v all_o fundamental_a or_o essential_a point_n of_o faith_n and_o differ_v only_o in_o certain_a inferior_a truth_n or_o pious_a opinion_n which_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v but_o now_o since_o the_o lady_n leave_v his_o congregation_n he_o be_v grow_v so_o fierce_a on_o a_o sudden_a there_o be_v no_o deal_n with_o he_o he_o will_v ●eeds_o unchurch_n we_o and_o by_o lay_v fanaticism_n and_o idolatry_n at_o our_o door_n obstruct_v our_o way_n to_o salvation_n leave_v we_o no_o other_o gate_n to_o heaven_n but_o that_o of_o ignorance_n or_o repentance_n which_o lie_v open_a to_o turk_n and_o jew_n as_o well_o as_o roman_a catholic_n 3._o this_o make_v i_o call_v to_o mind_n a_o pleasant_a passage_n between_o bishop_n ferne_n and_o a_o good_a honest_a 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 to_o the_o press_n but_o tell_v the_o author_n that_o he_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v if_o he_o think_v that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o win_v we_o he_o must_v know_v that_o a_o papist_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o beast_n that_o will_v not_o be_v tame_v with_o stroke_v much_o less_o with_o strike_v say_v the_o parson_n but_o the_o bishop_n for_o all_o that_o will_v not_o alter_v his_o opinion_n but_o 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 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 but_o d._n still_o pretend_v to_o rule_v himself_o in_o matter_n of_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 i_o evidence_n out_o of_o the_o principle_n set_v down_o by_o he_o in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o book_n princ._n 5._o where_o he_o say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o mean_n imagine_v whereby_o we_o be_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o divine_a revelation_n but_o a_o faculty_n in_o we_o of_o discern_a truth_n and_o flalshood_n in_o matter_n propose_v to_o our_o belief_n princ._n 13._o

will_n of_o god_n so_o plain_o reveal_v that_o no_o sober_a enquirer_n can_v miss_v of_o what_o be_v necessary_a for_o salvation_n for_o what_o i_o pray_v can_v tha●_n faculty_n of_o discern_a truth_n from_o falsehood_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n avail_v he_o with_o all_o the_o sincere_a endeavour_n and_o sober_a enquiry_n he_o speak_v of_o unless_o it_o be_v infallible_o assist_v by_o some_o private_a spirit_n which_o inspire_v and_o reveal_v the_o truth_n unto_o he_o for_o since_o it_o be_v clear_a by_o experience_n that_o the_o same_o word_n of_o scripture_n be_v construe_v by_o other_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 pretend_v some_o such_o private_a infallible_a assistance_n which_o other_o have_v not_o for_o example_n the_o doctor_n understand_v his_o commandment_n so_o that_o god_n have_v there_o forbid_v all_o worship_n of_o image_n catholic_n understand_v they_o otherwise_o so_o as_o to_o hold_v such_o worship_n lawful_a the_o doctor_n will_v have_v this_o be_v my_o body_n to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o
