A19220	The Catholike moderator: or A moderate examination of the doctrine of the Protestants Prouing against the too rigid Catholikes of these times, and against the arguments especially, of that booke called, The answer to the Catholike apologie, that we, who are members of the Catholike, apostolike, & Roman Church, ought not to condeme the Protestants for heretikes, vntill further proofe be made. First written in French by a Catholike gentleman, and now faithfully translated.

which_o the_o catholic_n call_v inherent_a or_o secondary_a righteousness_n but_o they_o say_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o build_v upon_o it_o but_o only_o upon_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o christ_n be_v by_o faith_n impute_v to_o they_o see_v then_o that_o this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v by_o general_a consent_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v most_o perfect_a though_o there_o may_v perhaps_o be_v think_v to_o be_v some_o error_n in_o the_o huguenot_n doctrine_n yet_o no_o danger_n can_v come_v of_o it_o like_a as_o when_o a_o man_n lay_v hold_v on_o a_o strong_a bough_n he_o may_v very_o well_o be_v deceive_v in_o fear_v another_o may_v be_v too_o weak_a yet_o without_o doubt_n he_o can_v fall_v so_o long_o as_o he_o embrace_n that_o which_o can_v break_v next_o follow_v the_o instrument_n by_o which_o we_o embrace_v this_o righteousness_n 23._o and_o that_o be_v faith_n about_o the_o nature_n whereof_o the_o huguenot_n seem_v to_o he_o to_o hold_v another_o error_n for_o that_o they_o deny_v say_v he_o that_o grace_n may_v be_v lose_v without_o the_o loss_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a cavil_n of_o he_o upon_o the_o double_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n faith_n for_o if_o we_o affirm_v that_o faith_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v so_o and_o so_o and_o that_o he_o have_v do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v brief_a that_o all_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n be_v most_o true_a the_o huguenot_n will_v say_v with_o saint_n james_n that_o the_o devil_n also_o believe_v as_o much_o and_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v faith_n though_o without_o grace_n so_o that_o the_o huguenot_n mistake_v be_v nothing_o but_o in_o the_o word_n for_o that_o they_o teach_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o that_o man_n which_o be_v devoid_a of_o grace_n and_o charity_n merit_v not_o the_o honourable_a title_n of_o a_o justify_v faith_n and_o that_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o this_o be_v but_o the_o instrument_n only_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v which_o be_v ever_o accompany_v with_o grace_n and_o follow_v by_o good_a work_n we_o affirm_v likewise_o that_o a_o faith_n without_o charity_n be_v a_o faith_n without_o form_n wherefore_o since_o the_o form_n be_v it_o which_o give_v the_o be_v to_o the_o thing_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o a_o perfect_a faith_n can_v have_v no_o be_v without_o charity_n which_o tenet_n be_v consent_v unto_o both_o by_o the_o huguenot_n and_o the_o catholic_n themselves_o only_a we_o differ_v in_o term_n the_o huguenot_n call_v faith_n without_o charity_n a_o historical_a or_o dead_a faith_n and_o we_o a_o faith_n without_o form_n o_o my_o god_n what_o a_o pity_n it_o be_v to_o behold_v the_o simplicity_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n thus_o puzzle_v about_o these_o quiddity_n there_o remain_v now_o the_o effect_n of_o our_o justification_n good_a work_n work_n by_o which_o even_o we_o catholic_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o make_v just_o but_o that_o be_v justify_v before_o he_o increase_v in_o righteousness_n that_o be_v of_o a_o just_a man_n he_o become_v more_o just_a and_o be_v regenerate_v &_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n he_o may_v as_o our_o adversary_n say_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o such_o a_o sort_n that_o he_o may_v by_o it_o true_o and_o proper_o merit_v eternal_a life_n but_o as_o for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n see_v the_o huguenot_n do_v their_o best_a to_o perform_v it_o although_o they_o may_v be_v think_v to_o err_v in_o confess_v they_o can_v do_v it_o yet_o have_v our_o saviour_n himself_o promise_v free_a pardon_n for_o it_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o son_n who_o refuse_v to_o do_v his_o father_n will_n and_o yet_o do_v it_o to_o return_v then_o to_o merit_n by_o work_n the_o more_o accurate_a sort_n of_o catholic_n peremptory_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v at_o all_o meritorious_a unless_o they_o be_v die_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n and_o i_o assure_v myself_o that_o not_o one_o among_o ten_o thousand_o catholic_n understand_v sufficient_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o phrase_n work_v die_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o simple_o and_o without_o other_o addition_n they_o will_v say_v that_o they_o be_v in_o good_a hope_n to_o merit_v heaven_n by_o their_o work_n so_o that_o we_o see_v there_o be_v three_o several_a opinion_n touch_v this_o question_n the_o first_o be_v of_o the_o vulgar_a catholic_n who_o be_v more_o in_o number_n a_o thousand_o time_n and_o who_o simple_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v indeed_o able_a to_o merit_v eternal_a life_n by_o their_o good_a work_n the_o second_o be_v of_o the_o huguenot_n who_o absolute_o deny_v that_o good_a work_n do_v merit_n at_o all_o only_o say_v they_o god_n out_o of_o his_o pure_a grace_n for_o the_o love_n of_o his_o son_n grant_v they_o a_o recompense_n the_o three_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o jesuit_n and_o the_o learned_a catholic_n who_o deny_v that_o any_o kind_n of_o work_n do_v of_o themselves_o merit_n but_o such_o only_a as_o i_o say_v as_o be_v die_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o chr●st_n which_o opinion_n accord_v much_o better_a with_o the_o huguenot_n doctrine_n then_o that_o of_o the_o vulgar_a catholic_n for_o a_o thing_n die_v be_v not_o alter_v in_o substance_n as_o copper_n though_o gild_a yet_o continue_v copper_n still_o the_o tincture_n and_o the_o gilding_n make_v the_o thing_n only_o fair_a to_o the_o eye_n and_o so_o be_v it_o with_o our_o work_n which_o be_v by_o nature_n corrupt_v remain_v corrupt_a still_o though_o die_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n howbeit_o that_o the_o tincture_n and_o gilding_n make_v they_o more_o please_v unto_o god_n and_o for_o the_o love_n which_o he_o bear_v to_o christ_n blood_n to_o be_v reward_v and_o if_o peradventure_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o use_v the_o word_n merit_n let_v we_o hearken_v to_o s._n bernard_n a_o man_n can_v say_v he_o merit_v eternal_a life_n virgin_n by_o any_o good_a work_n whatsoever_o and_o yet_o i_o trow_v that_o s._n bernard_n be_v in_o this_o no_o huguenot_n for_o i_o well_o know_v that_o a_o jesuite_n with_o some_o neat_a distinction_n can_v make_v he_o speak_v like_o a_o catholic_a whatsoever_o his_o meaning_n be_v let_v we_o then_o but_o do_v the_o huguenot_n the_o like_a courtesy_n and_o make_v the_o same_o distinction_n in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o their_o tenent_n as_o we_o will_v do_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o s._n bernard_n and_o in_o this_o point_n they_o will_v prove_v as_o good_a catholic_n as_o s._n bernard_n or_o ourselves_o the_o four_o point_n be_v prayer_n 26._o to_o wit_n whether_o we_o ought_v to_o invoke_v the_o saint_n or_o not_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o lie_v in_o two_o point_n first_o whether_o we_o ought_v to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n unto_o they_o the_o second_o whether_o they_o pray_v for_o us._n for_o the_o first_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o catholic_n themselves_o make_v two_o extremity_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o not_o invoke_v they_o as_o the_o huguenot_n do_v and_o in_o honour_v they_o too_o much_o which_o be_v to_o say_v in_o attribute_v to_o they_o that_o honour_n which_o be_v due_a only_a unto_o god_n which_o the_o schoolman_n call_v latria_n which_o whosoever_o do_v they_o themselves_o hold_v he_o for_o a_o idolater_n now_o the_o poor_a people_n which_o understand_v not_o the_o greek_a nor_o what_o latria_n mean_v nor_o comprehend_v any_o other_o mediocrity_n than_o to_o adore_v right_o down_o or_o not_o to_o adore_v at_o all_o go_v to_o it_o bonafide_fw-la and_o with_o as_o much_o devotion_n adore_v our_o lady_n and_o the_o other_o saint_n as_o they_o do_v god_n himself_o in_o such_o fashion_n as_o that_o very_a hardly_o even_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o catholic_n can_v the_o catholic_n themselves_o herein_o avoid_v idolatry_n as_o for_o the_o other_o extremity_n those_o catholic_n that_o maintain_v invocation_n of_o saint_n teach_v only_o thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o invoke_v they_o and_o not_o unlawful_a not_o to_o invoke_v they_o so_o that_o there_o can_v come_v no_o great_a danger_n of_o it_o in_o follow_v the_o catholic_n doctrine_n if_o true_a nor_o in_o follow_v the_o huguenot_n though_o erroneous_a the_o huguenot_n say_v furthermore_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o honour_v they_o which_o we_o may_v very_o well_o do_v without_o invoke_v they_o as_o a_o subject_n may_v well_o honour_v his_o sovereign_n be_v absent_a though_o he_o never_o present_v any_o petition_n to_o he_o in_o all_o his_o life_n as_o for_o the_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n whether_o they_o pray_v for_o we_o or_o not_o i_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v huguenot_n that_o will_v confess_v that_o they_o do_v neither_o do_v calvin_n himself_o deny_v it_o only_o he_o say_v that_o he_o trouble_v

of_o rome_n do_v agree_v with_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o the_o self_n same_o ceremony_n second_o that_o admit_v that_o the_o ancient_a church_n have_v they_o in_o use_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o huguenot_n to_o be_v condemn_v for_o have_v disuse_v they_o for_o the_o first_o point_n ceremony_n my_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o condemn_v the_o ceremony_n of_o our_o mother_n the_o holy_a church_n but_o since_o that_o our_o side_n be_v so_o straight_o lace_v as_o to_o hinder_v our_o reconciliation_n for_o a_o thing_n so_o indifferent_a as_o these_o ceremony_n be_v i_o have_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o oppose_v they_o and_o to_o show_v that_o the_o huguenot_n may_v easy_o answer_v the_o argument_n which_o he_o alleage_n which_o i_o write_v not_o to_o justify_v they_o but_o with_o a_o purpose_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o so_o confident_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o all_o be_v so_o clear_a on_o our_o side_n let_v we_o hear_v then_o how_o the_o huguenot_n may_v answer_v the_o 15_o example_n which_o he_o bring_v the_o first_o example_n be_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n 27._o concern_v which_o the_o huguenot_n will_v confess_v that_o it_o have_v be_v ancient_o use_v but_o that_o the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n upon_o a_o particular_a occasion_n and_o proper_a only_a to_o that_o age_n for_o the_o pagan_n among_o who_o the_o christian_n in_o those_o day_n converse_v be_v wont_a when_o they_o meet_v with_o a_o christian_a to_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o derision_n of_o their_o christianity_n for_o that_o the_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v be_v hang_v upon_o a_o cross_n so_o that_o the_o christian_n to_o show_v that_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o such_o a_o death_n in_o all_o their_o action_n will_v still_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n but_o now_o this_o occasion_n be_v take_v away_o the_o huguenot_n may_v likewise_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o continue_v the_o practice_n no_o more_o than_o it_o be_v to_o apply_v a_o plaster_n to_o a_o wound_n already_o heal_v as_o for_o pray_v to_o the_o east_n i_o never_o yet_o know_v any_o huguenot_n that_o hold_v it_o unlawful_a to_o pray_v towards_o the_o east_n nor_o any_o catholic_a that_o think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o pray_v also_o towards_o other_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n 28._o what_o more_o than_o be_v there_o to_o be_v say_v between_o they_o but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v a_o indifferent_a custom_n which_o have_v not_o be_v always_o so_o strict_o observe_v in_o all_o church_n for_o socrates_n say_v that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o antioch_n 21._o the_o high_a altar_n be_v place_v clean_o contrary_a and_o towards_o the_o west_n as_o for_o the_o invocation_n of_o the_o eucharist_n our_o adversary_n affirm_v that_o it_o appear_v by_o saint_n basile_n eucharist_n that_o this_o invocation_n be_v then_o and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n practise_v when_o they_o show_v the_o eucharist_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n make_v nothing_o against_o the_o huguenot_n for_o a_o man_n may_v very_o well_o use_v invocation_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o all_o the_o while_n direct_v his_o invocation_n to_o god_n and_o not_o to_o the_o sacrament_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o special_a prayer_n appoint_v for_o that_o purpose_n which_o saint_n basile_n think_v to_o have_v be_v a_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o now_o the_o catholic_n themselves_o do_v not_o any_o long_o observe_v that_o form_n of_o prayer_n and_o it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o any_o antiquity_n what_o form_n of_o prayer_n that_o be_v which_o saint_n basile_n speak_v of_o so_o that_o if_o this_o prayer_n be_v a_o apostolical_a tradition_n our_o church_n have_v have_v small_a care_n in_o preserve_v it_o which_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v some_o thing_n put_v upon_o we_o under_o the_o title_n of_o apostolical_a tradition_n which_o be_v not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v still_o as_o easy_a to_o invent_v some_o new_a tradition_n which_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v as_o to_o forget_v those_o which_o we_o have_v already_o entertain_v for_o god_n ordinary_o where_o he_o take_v away_o the_o memory_n supply_v that_o defect_n with_o invention_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o judgement_n it_o be_v very_o wise_o do_v when_o we_o have_v lose_v one_o tradition_n to_o

will_v confess_v with_o saint_n basile_n 28._o that_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v bless_v but_o this_o they_o deny_v that_o this_o hallow_n be_v such_o heretofore_o as_o that_o now_o in_o use_n with_o us._n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o say_v that_o water_n and_o all_o other_o creature_n be_v sanctify_v by_o god_n already_o and_o particular_o that_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n need_v no_o benediction_n to_o make_v it_o more_o holy_a johan._n because_o as_o say_v saint_n chrysostome_n christ_n by_o his_o baptism_n have_v bless_v all_o water_n but_o if_o my_o antagonist_n will_v proceed_v further_a to_o infer_v that_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v hallow_v in_o the_o same_o sort_n that_o it_o be_v now_o i_o say_v that_o eusebius_n write_v that_o constantine_n the_o great_a will_v have_v man_n to_o baptise_v in_o jordan_n and_o yet_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o all_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n be_v make_v holy_a water_n they_o will_v say_v as_o much_o of_o the_o consecration_n of_o the_o oil_n the_o word_n consecration_n at_o the_o first_o militis_fw-la signify_v no_o more_o than_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o sign_n to_o a_o holy_a use_n and_o as_o for_o the_o use_n of_o oil_n like_v as_o the_o ancient_a church_n make_v use_v of_o it_o in_o baptism_n so_o do_v they_o also_o of_o milk_n and_o honey_n neither_o of_o which_o be_v any_o more_o in_o use_n no_o not_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n why_o then_o shall_v the_o huguenot_n be_v blame_v more_o for_o the_o want_n of_o one_o ceremony_n than_o the_o catholic_n will_v be_v for_o want_v of_o another_o and_o this_o also_o serve_v to_o disprove_v that_o other_o example_n which_o follow_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n agree_v with_o the_o ancient_a in_o all_o the_o ceremony_n of_o baptism_n his_o next_o example_n be_v of_o the_o fast_a in_o lent_n lent_n which_o saint_n hierome_n esteem_v for_o a_o apostolical_a tradition_n to_o which_o the_o huguenot_n will_v answer_v that_o epiphanius_n say_v 75._o that_o it_o be_v a_o apostolical_a tradition_n also_o to_o fast_o upon_o wednesday_n and_o frydaye_n except_o upon_o those_o betwixt_o easter_n and_o whitsuntide_n in_o which_o time_n the_o say_a s._n hierome_n in_o the_o very_a book_n quote_v by_o the_o answerer_n lucif_n say_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o fast_v &_o yet_o do_v the_o catholic_n fast_o notwithstanding_o upon_o friday_n in_o that_o very_a time_n why_o then_o be_v the_o huguenot_n more_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o disuse_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o forty_o day_n before_o easter_n than_o the_o catholic_n for_o dissent_v from_o the_o same_o church_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o 50._o day_n after_o concern_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o dead_a it_o appear_v by_o that_o liturgy_n of_o the_o greek_n dead_a which_o be_v read_v in_o the_o five_o tome_n of_o saint_n chrysostom_n work_n that_o they_o make_v mention_v among_o the_o dead_a for_o who_o they_o make_v their_o oblation_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o marytrs_n who_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o party_n do_v
