the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n the_o same_o be_v my_o mother_n and_o sister_n and_o brother_n and_o when_o the_o woman_n break_v forth_o into_o that_o rapture_n concern_v the_o bless_a mother_n of_o

of_o it_o and_o by_o who_o we_o be_v to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o god_n give_v the_o least_o intimation_n of_o pray_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n or_o make_v use_n of_o her_o mediation_n and_o can_v any_o man_n believe_v that_o if_o this_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n from_o the_o beginning_n our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n will_v have_v be_v so_o silent_a about_o so_o

yet_o the_o worship_n of_o she_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o have_v be_v so_o for_o several_a age_n a_o main_a part_n of_o their_o public_a worship_n yea_o and_o of_o

to_o almighty_a god_n they_o make_v ten_o address_n to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n for_o that_o be_v the_o proportion_n observe_v in_o their_o rosary_n he_o that_o consider_v this_o and_o have_v never_o

that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v full_a from_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o of_o precept_n and_o exhortation_n to_o the_o worship_v of_o she_o and_o yet_o when_o all_o be_v do_v i_o challenge_v any_o man_n to_o show_v i_o so_o much_o as_o one_o sentence_n in_o the_o whole_a bible_n that_o sound_v that_o way_n and_o there_o be_v as_o little_a in_o the_o christian_a writer_n of_o the_o first_o three_o hundred_o year_n the_o truth_n be_v this_o practice_n begin_v to_o creep_v in_o among_o some_o superstitious_a people_n about_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o four_o century_n and_o i_o remember_v particular_o that_o epiphanius_n who_o live_v about_o that_o time_n call_v it_o the_o heresy_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o some_o instance_n of_o several_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n much_o more_o may_v have_v be_v say_v of_o they_o but_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v any_o man_n may_v easy_o discern_v how_o dangerous_a they_o be_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n i_o proceed_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n ii_o to_o consider_v whether_o our_o grant_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n though_o with_o great_a hazard_n to_o those_o in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o their_o deny_v it_o to_o we_o be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n and_o encouragement_n to_o any_o man_n to_o quit_v our_o church_n and_o go_v to_o they_o and_o there_o be_v the_o more_o need_n to_o consider_v this_o because_o this_o be_v the_o great_a popular_a argument_n wherewith_o the_o emissary_n and_o agent_n of_o that_o church_n be_v wont_a to_o assault_v our_o people_n your_o church_n say_v they_o grant_v that_o a_o papist_n may_v be_v save_v we_o deny_v that_o a_o protestant_n can_v be_v save_v therefore_o it_o be_v safe_a to_o be_v of_o our_o church_n in_o which_o salvation_n by_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o both_o side_n be_v possible_a for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o it_o be_v so_o intolerable_o weak_a and_o sophistical_a that_o any_o considerate_a man_n ought_v to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o be_v catch_v by_o it_o for_o either_o it_o be_v good_a of_o itself_o and_o sufficient_a to_o persuade_v a_o man_n to_o relinquish_v our_o church_n and_o to_o pass_v over_o to_o they_o without_o enter_v into_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n on_o either_o side_n and_o without_o compare_v the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o both_o the_o church_n together_o or_o it_o be_v not_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o itself_o to_o persuade_v a_o man_n to_o leave_v our_o church_n without_o compare_v the_o doctrine_n on_o both_o side_n than_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o get_v by_o it_o for_o if_o upon_o examination_n and_o compare_v of_o doctrine_n the_o one_o appear_v to_o be_v true_a and_o the_o other_o false_a this_o alone_a be_v a_o sufficient_a inducement_n to_o any_o man_n to_o cleave_v to_o that_o church_n where_o the_o true_a doctrine_n be_v find_v and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o this_o argument_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o without_o the_o examination_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o both_o church_n this_o seem_v a_o very_a strange_a thing_n for_o any_o man_n to_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v reason_n enough_o to_o a_o man_n to_o be_v of_o any_o church_n whatever_o her_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v if_o she_o do_v but_o damn_v those_o that_o differ_v from_o she_o and_o if_o the_o church_n that_o differ_v from_o she_o do_v but_o allow_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n in_o her_o communion_n but_o they_o who_o use_v this_o argument_n pretend_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a of_o itself_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o show_v as_o brief_o and_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v the_o miserable_a weakness_n and_o insufficiency_n of_o it_o to_o satisfy_v any_o man_n conscience_n or_o prudence_n to_o change_v his_o religion_n and_o to_o this_o end_n i_o shall_v 1._o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o principle_n upon_o which_o this_o argument_n rely_v 2._o give_v some_o parallel_a instance_n by_o which_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o it_o conclude_v false_a 3._o i_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o some_o gross_a absurdity_n that_o follow_v from_o it_o 4._o show_v how_o unfit_a it_o be_v to_o work_v upon_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v propound_v and_o 5._o how_o improper_a it_o be_v to_o be_v urge_v by_o those_o that_o make_v use_v of_o it_o i._o i_o shall_v show_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o principle_n upon_o which_o this_o argument_n rely_v and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o whatever_o different_a party_n in_o religion_n agree_v in_o be_v safe_a to_o be_v choose_v the_o true_a consequence_n of_o which_o principle_n if_o it_o be_v drive_v to_o the_o head_n be_v to_o persuade_v man_n to_o forsake_v christianity_n and_o to_o make_v they_o take_v up_o in_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n for_o in_o these_o all_o religion_n do_v agree_v for_o if_o this_o principle_n be_v true_a and_o signify_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o embrace_v any_o thing_n wherein_o the_o several_a party_n in_o religion_n differ_v because_o that_o only_o be_v safe_a and_o prudent_a to_o be_v choose_v wherein_o all_o agree_v so_o that_o this_o argument_n if_o the_o foundation_n of_o it_o be_v good_a will_v persuade_v further_o than_o those_o who_o make_v use_v of_o it_o desire_v it_o shall_v do_v for_o it_o will_v not_o only_o make_v man_n forsake_v the_o protestant_a religion_n but_o popery_n too_o &_o which_o be_v much_o more_o considerable_a christianity_n itself_o ii_o i_o will_v give_v some_o parallel_a instance_n by_o which_o it_o will_v clear_o be_v see_v that_o this_o argument_n conclude_v false_a the_o donatist_n deny_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o catholic_n to_o be_v good_a but_o the_o catholic_n acknowledge_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o donatist_n to_o be_v valid_a so_o that_o both_o side_n be_v agree_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o donatist_n be_v good_a therefore_o the_o safe_a way_n for_o st._n austin_n and_o other_o catholic_n according_a to_o this_o argument_n be_v to_o be_v baptise_a again_o by_o the_o donatist_n because_o by_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o both_o side_n baptism_n among_o they_o be_v valid_a but_o to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n several_a in_o that_o church_n hold_v the_o personal_a infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o depose_v and_o kill_v king_n for_o heresy_n to_o be_v de_fw-fr fide_fw-la that_o be_v necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o consequent_o that_o whoever_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o can_v be_v save_v but_o a_o great_a

upon_o the_o certainty_n of_o sense_n and_o now_o the_o matter_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o fair_a issue_n if_o the_o testimony_n of_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v rely_v upon_o than_o transubstantiation_n be_v false_a if_o it_o be_v not_o than_o no_o man_n be_v sure_a that_o christianity_n be_v true_a for_o the_o utmost_a assurance_n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n be_v the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o sense_n concern_v our_o saviour_n miracle_n and_o this_o testimony_n every_o man_n have_v against_o transubstantiation_n from_o whence_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n no_o not_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v christianity_n to_o be_v true_a than_o every_o man_n have_v to_o believe_v transubstantiation_n to_o be_v false_a and_o we_o who_o do_v not_o see_v our_o saviour_n miracle_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v and_o have_v only_o a_o credible_a relation_n of_o they_o but_o do_v see_v the_o sacrament_n have_v less_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n than_o of_o the_o falsehood_n of_o transubstantiation_n but_o can_v god_n impose_v upon_o the_o sense_n of_o man_n and_o represent_v thing_n to_o they_o otherwise_o than_o they_o be_v yes_o undoubted_o and_o if_o he_o have_v reveal_v that_o he_o do_v this_o be_v we_o not_o to_o believe_v he_o most_o certain_o but_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o have_v make_v such_o a_o revelation_n which_o assurance_n no_o man_n can_v have_v the_o certainty_n of_o sense_n be_v take_v away_o i_o shall_v press_v the_o business_n a_o little_a far_o suppose_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o divine_a revelation_n and_o that_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n if_o they_o be_v in_o scripture_n must_v necessary_o be_v take_v in_o the_o strict_a and_o literal_a sense_n i_o ask_v now_o what_o great_a evidence_n any_o man_n have_v that_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v in_o the_o bible_n than_o every_o man_n have_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o change_v in_o the_o sacrament_n nay_o no_o man_n have_v so_o much_o for_o we_o have_v only_o the_o evidence_n of_o one_o sense_n that_o these_o word_n be_v in_o the_o bible_n but_o that_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o change_v we_o have_v the_o concur_v testimony_n of_o several_a of_o our_o sense_n in_o a_o word_n if_o this_o be_v once_o admit_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n be_v deceive_v in_o one_o of_o the_o most_o plain_a sensible_a matter_n that_o can_v be_v there_o be_v no_o certain_a mean_n leave_v either_o to_o convey_v or_o prove_v a_o divine_a

for_o this_o purpose_n let_v any_o man_n if_o he_o can_v find_v a_o better_a and_o more_o convince_a argument_n 5._o i_o will_v instance_n but_o in_o one_o doctrine_n more_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v their_o doctrine_n of_o depose_v king_n in_o case_n of_o heresy_n and_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n to_o they_o and_o this_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a speculative_a doctrine_n but_o have_v be_v put_v in_o practice_n many_o a_o time_n by_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o every_o one_o know_v that_o be_v verse_v in_o history_n for_o the_o trouble_n and_o confusion_n which_o be_v occasion_v by_o this_o very_a thing_n make_v up_o a_o good_a part_n of_o the_o history_n of_o several_a age_n i_o hope_v no_o body_n expect_v that_o i_o shall_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n nor_o of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n the_o papist_n be_v many_o of_o they_o so_o far_o from_o pretend_v this_o that_o in_o some_o time_n and_o place_n when_o it_o be_v not_o seasonable_a and_o for_o their_o purpose_n we_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o persuade_v they_o that_o ever_o it_o be_v their_o doctrine_n but_o if_o transubstantiation_n be_v their_o doctrine_n this_o be_v for_o they_o come_v both_o out_o of_o the_o same_o forge_n i_o mean_v the_o council_n of_o lateran_n under_o pope_n innocent_a the_o three_o and_o if_o as_o they_o tell_v we_o transubstantiation_n be_v then_o establish_v so_o be_v this_o and_o indeed_o one_o will_v think_v they_o be_v twin_n and_o bring_v forth_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o be_v so_o like_o one_o another_o both_o of_o they_o so_o monstrous_o unreasonable_a ii_o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o consider_v some_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o i_o be_o afraid_a will_v prove_v as_o bad_a as_o her_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v instance_n in_o these_o five_o 1._o their_o celebrate_n of_o their_o divine_a service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o that_o not_o only_o contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o to_o the_o great_a end_n and_o design_n of_o religious_a worship_n which_o be_v the_o edification_n of_o those_o who_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o imagine_v how_o man_n can_v be_v edify_v by_o what_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v but_o like_o wise_a in_o

in_o both_o kind_n this_o i_o must_v acknowledge_v be_v no_o addition_n to_o christianity_n but_o a_o sacrilegious_a take_n away_o of_o a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o the_o cup_n

if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o plain_a a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o at_o least_o the_o teacher_n and_o guide_n of_o that_o church_n shall_v be_v sensible_a of_o it_o why_o they_o be_v so_o and_o
