they_o opis_fw-la impetrandae_fw-la causâ_fw-la as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n direct_v this_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o own_a by_o the_o representer_n now_o we_o think_v this_o be_v to_o ascribe_v divinity_n to_o they_o if_o religious_a worship_n signify_v any_o divinity_n in_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n this_o the_o misrepresenter_n put_v into_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n which_o we_o never_o do_v and_o the_o representer_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n deny_v that_o they_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n which_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v be_v true_a but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o give_v a_o divinity_n to_o they_o by_o worship_v they_o and_o this_o we_o assert_v they_o do_v and_o this_o they_o may_v do_v without_o believe_v any_o divinity_n in_o they_o v._o of_o the_o eucharist_n as_o for_o worship_v the_o host_n we_o only_o charge_v they_o with_o worship_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n which_o we_o say_v be_v bread_n still_o but_o which_o they_o say_v be_v the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n and_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o for_o so_o do_v some_o protestant_n charge_v they_o with_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v a_o breaden_a god_n and_o some_o papist_n acknowledge_v it_o will_v be_v idolatry_n if_o what_o they_o worship_v be_v only_a bread_n and_o not_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o no_o protestant_a ever_o give_v such_o a_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n that_o he_o believe_v it_o lawful_a to_o commit_v idolatry_n that_o he_o worship_v and_o adore_v what_o he_o believe_v only_o to_o be_v a_o breaden_a god_n and_o the_o poor_a empty_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o a_o papist_n believe_v but_o what_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o whether_o he_o believe_v the_o host_n to_o be_v only_a bread_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o not_o not_o whether_o he_o believe_v idolatry_n to_o be_v lawful_a but_o whether_o he_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v the_o host_n and_o therefore_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n for_o those_o who_o believe_v that_o he_o worship_v nothing_o but_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o it_o do_v not_o charge_v he_o with_o believe_v so_o and_o therefore_o the_o representer_n who_o acknowledge_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o host_n may_v very_o true_o deny_v all_o the_o rest_n as_o for_o transubstantiation_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o believe_v no_o more_o than_o what_o they_o themselves_o own_o that_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o the_o misrepresenter_n very_o fallacious_o call_v christ_n being_n real_o present_a under_o those_o appearance_n that_o our_o people_n may_v not_o perceive_v the_o difference_n between_o transubstantiation_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n deny_v and_o a_o real_a presence_n which_o she_o own_v not_o under_o the_o appearance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o cup_n which_o differ_v as_o much_o as_o a_o bodily_a and_o sacramental_a presence_n now_o if_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v true_a beside_o many_o other_o absurdity_n we_o say_v christ_n must_v have_v as_o many_o body_n as_o there_o be_v consecrate_a host_n and_o that_o his_o body_n must_v be_v on_o earth_n and_o that_o in_o fifty_o thousand_o distant_a place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n though_o the_o scripture_n assure_v we_o that_o he_o ascend_v in_o his_o body_n into_o heaven_n and_o be_v to_o continue_v there_o till_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n but_o we_o do_v not_o charge_v the_o papist_n with_o believe_v these_o absurdity_n for_o we_o can_v guess_v what_o they_o believe_v much_o less_o do_v we_o charge_v they_o with_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o christ_n as_o many_o redeemer_n as_o there_o be_v church_n altar_n or_o priest_n for_o there_o be_v we_o grant_v some_o little_a difference_n between_o christ_n have_v many_o body_n and_o there_o be_v many_o christ_n what_o a_o easy_a task_n have_v the_o representer_n to_o take_v off_o such_o character_n as_o these_o vi_o of_o merit_n and_o good_a work_n here_o we_o only_o charge_v they_o with_o say_v as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o justify_v person_n be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o the_o increase_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o eternal_a life_n and_o though_o we_o think_v this_o be_v too_o much_o for_o any_o creature_n especial_o a_o sinner_n to_o pretend_v to_o merit_v and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o reconcile_v grace_n and_o strict_a merit_n together_o yet_o we_o never_o charge_v a_o papist_n with_o believe_v christ_n death_n and_o passion_n to_o be_v ineffectual_a and_o insignificant_a and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o dependence_n on_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o suffering_n or_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o attain_v salvation_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o council_n of_o trent_n own_v both_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n the_o representer_n indeed_o qualify_v this_o by_o say_v that_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n the_o good_a work_n of_o a_o just_a man_n proceed_v from_o grace_n be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o god_n that_o through_o his_o goodness_n and_o promise_n they_o be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o eternal_a life_n the_o answerer_n alleage_n the_o 32_o d_o canon_n sess._n 6._o of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n where_o no_o such_o qualification_n be_v use_v which_o yet_o be_v the_o canon_n purposely_o design_v to_o establish_v the_o merit_n of_o good_n work_n this_o the_o reflect_a grant_n pag._n 8._o and_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o 26_o the_o canon_n of_o that_o session_n where_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n and_o therefore_o how_o we_o shall_v learn_v from_o that_o canon_n in_o what_o sense_n good_a work_n be_v say_v to_o merit_n i_o can_v tell_v but_o in_o the_o sixteen_o chapter_n of_o that_o session_n this_o doctrine_n be_v explain_v at_o large_a and_o there_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o full_a account_n of_o it_o which_o in_o short_a be_v this_o that_o that_o divine_a virtue_n which_o flow_v from_o christ_n into_o justify_v person_n as_o from_o the_o head_n to_o the_o member_n and_o from_o the_o vine_n to_o the_o branch_n make_v the_o good_a action_n of_o such_o man_n acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o meritorious_a and_o that_o such_o good_a work_n which_o be_v do_v in_o god_n do_v satisfy_v the_o divine_a law_n and_o true_o and_o proper_o merit_v eternal_a life_n that_o this_o be_v call_v our_o righteousness_n because_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o its_o inhere_n in_o we_o and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v infuse_v into_o we_o by_o god_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o own_o gift_n to_o be_v our_o merit_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 32_o d_o canon_n they_o pronounce_v a_o anathema_n against_o those_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o a_o justify_v man_n be_v so_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o not_o to_o be_v his_o own_o merit_n so_o that_o though_o they_o do_v indeed_o own_o the_o grace_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o their_o own_o merit_n yet_o they_o do_v assert_v that_o the_o inherent_a righteousness_n and_o good_a work_n of_o a_o justify_v man_n have_v that_o intrinsic_a virtue_n as_o to_o satisfy_v the_o divine_a law_n and_o to_o be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o the_o increase_n of_o grace_n and_o eternal_a life_n this_o we_o think_v injurious_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n they_o think_v it_o be_v not_o and_o we_o never_o say_v they_o do_v vii_o of_o confession_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o make_v a_o particular_a confession_n to_o a_o priest_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n commit_v after_o baptism_n necessary_a to_o obtain_v pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n and_o with_o attribute_v a_o judicial_a and_o praetorian_a authority_n such_o as_o be_v

man_n yet_o we_o say_v and_o prove_v it_o too_o that_o this_o be_v a_o power_n which_o god_n have_v reserve_v whole_o to_o himself_o we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o say_v that_o the_o

do_v by_o the_o answerer_n he_o be_v a_o very_a misrepresenter_n still_o he_o say_v the_o answerer_n seem_v to_o maintain_v that_o good_a work_n of_o justify_v person_n be_v not_o free_a and_o the_o
