A58130 A dialogue betwixt two Protestants in answer to a popish catechism called A short catechism against all sectaries : plainly shewing that the members of the Church of England are no sectaries but true Catholicks and that our Church is a found part of Christ's holy Catholick Church in whose communion therefore the people of this nation are most strictly bound in conscience to remain : in two parts. Rawlet, John, 1642-1686. 1685 (1685) Wing R352; ESTC R11422 171,932 286

plenary_a indulgence_n for_o themselves_o and_o may_v every_o day_n release_v a_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n which_o sure_o they_o be_v very_o uncharitable_a if_o they_o will_v not_o do_v nay_o

in_o religion_n among_o ourselves_o by_o propose_v article_n of_o peace_n suppress_v dispute_n about_o obscure_a and_o unnecessary_a matter_n and_o by_o determine_v of_o thing_n indifferent_a in_o

among_o christian_n of_o what_o profession_n or_o church_n soever_o there_o be_v no_o more_o true_a piety_n and_o holiness_n to_o be_v find_v and_o that_o general_o they_o be_v more_o zealous_a for_o

and_o our_o opinion_n never_o so_o sound_a and_o orthodox_n but_o in_o this_o respect_n i_o do_v very_o think_v there_o be_v no_o church_n in_o the_o world_n more_o guilty_a than_o the_o church_n of_o

rather_o serve_v for_o a_o encouragement_n to_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n as_o for_o instance_n whilst_o they_o abuse_v the_o people_n with_o idle_a story_n of_o purgatory_n where_o they_o may_v make_v

for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n will_v procure_v their_o pardon_n if_o they_o make_v confession_n and_o be_v absolve_v by_o a_o priest_n and_o at_o most_o easy_a rate_n do_v they_o grant_v absolution_n and_o indulgence_n which_o must_v needs_o make_v man_n much_o more_o careless_a of_o their_o life_n more_o bold_a to_o venture_v upon_o wickedness_n for_o which_o they_o have_v a_o pardon_n so_o ready_a at_o hand_n but_o beside_o these_o and_o other_o hurtful_a opinion_n we_o may_v plain_o discern_v that_o in_o the_o several_a branch_n of_o religion_n their_o gross_a corruption_n have_v do_v much_o to_o destroy_v all_o true_a piety_n and_o goodness_n for_o instance_n instead_o of_o a_o serious_a spiritual_a affectionate_a worship_n of_o god_n which_o may_v help_v to_o conform_v the_o

they_o scarce_o understand_v a_o word_n and_o what_o benefit_n can_v this_o afford_v to_o their_o mind_n here_o also_o contrary_a to_o god_n express_v command_v they_o have_v bring_v in_o the_o

sufficient_a reason_n to_o keep_v out_o of_o their_o communion_n since_o in_o order_n to_o it_o they_o require_v our_o belief_n of_o a_o doctrine_n most_o apparent_o false_a namely_o that_o of_o

no_o manner_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n nor_o be_v under_o any_o obligation_n to_o forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o our_o own_o church_n for_o that_o of_o the_o romish_n but_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o that_o heinous_a sin_n of_o schism_n by_o so_o do_v as_o the_o papist_n among_o we_o be_v at_o this_o day_n of_o which_o more_o in_o another_o place_n as_o to_o what_o he_o

obedience_n to_o our_o own_o ruler_n in_o church_n and_o state_n who_o god_n have_v set_v over_o we_o nor_o do_v i_o discern_v by_o what_o reason_n he_o make_v this_o silly_a inference_n nor_o yet_o for_o what_o purpose_n but_o let_v i_o hear_v his_o next_o argument_n l._n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o ever_o at_o any_o time_n be_v admit_v any_o priest_n that_o be_v not_o first_o due_o consecrate_v by_o bishop_n wherefore_o we_o right_o infer_v that_o all_o lutheran_n minister_n calvinist_n or_o any_o other_o sect_n not_o consecrate_a according_a to_o the_o old_a custom_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n be_v for_o both_o from_o the_o name_n and_o reality_n of_o the_o divine_a priesthood_n and_o so_o that_o in_o their_o cene_z or_o supper_n as_o they_o call_v it_o they_o give_v but_o a_o mere_a piece_n of_o bread_n as_o also_o that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o absolve_v from_o sin_n but_o send_v away_o people_n as_o entangle_v and_o defile_v with_o sin_n as_o they_o be_v when_o they_o come_v to_o they_o t._n as_o to_o this_o argument_n we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v nothing_o concern_v in_o it_o since_o our_o priest_n receive_v ordination_n from_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o have_v as_o full_a authority_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministerial_a function_n as_o those_o of_o any_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n some_o other_o reform_a church_n also_o do_v embrace_v episcopal_a government_n as_o for_o such_o who_o want_v it_o we_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o a_o dispute_n concern_v the_o validity_n of_o their_o order_n but_o this_o i_o think_v we_o may_v safe_o assert_v that_o if_o the_o people_n be_v due_o qualify_v for_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o st._n paul_n himself_o call_v it_o 1_o cor._n 11._o 20._o by_o a_o firm_a belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o sincere_a love_n and_o obedience_n to_o our_o bless_a saviour_n they_o shall_v not_o want_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v promise_v to_o worthy_a communicant_n through_o any_o defect_n or_o irregularity_n in_o the_o ordination_n of_o their_o minister_n and_o if_o they_o do_v true_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o forsake_v they_o they_o shall_v for_o christ_n sake_n obtain_v forgiveness_n from_o god_n though_o never_o any_o priest_n shall_v give_v they_o absolution_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n our_o writer_n have_v show_v that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a principle_n receive_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o sacrament_n depend_v upon_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o priest_n the_o people_n can_v be_v certain_a at_o any_o time_n that_o they_o have_v true_a sacrament_n no_o nor_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o true_a priest_n that_o administer_v they_o but_o i_o shall_v trouble_v you_o with_o nothing_o more_o on_o this_o argument_n l._n there_o be_v no_o need_n since_o it_o reach_v not_o our_o church_n in_o the_o least_o i_o shall_v therefore_o proceed_v to_o the_o five_o which_o be_v this_o it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v but_o what_o clear_o and_o express_o be_v contain_v write_v in_o the_o same_o whence_o follow_v the_o ruin_n and_o overthrow_v of_o the_o groundwork_n on_o which_o lutheran_n calvinist_n and_o other_o sectary_n rely_v when_o they_o affirm_v that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v but_o what_o be_v express_o set_v down_o in_o holy_a writ_n t._n i_o wonder_v who_o say_v so_o every_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o have_v sufficient_a evidence_n of_o its_o truth_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o scripture_n or_o not_o but_o this_o we_o say_v and_o this_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v to_o argue_v against_o that_o nothing_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v believe_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n but_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o holy_a scripture_n which_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o same_o as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n contain_v all_o necessary_a
