The Peace of God And the blessing of God Almighty the Father Son and Holy Ghost be amongst you and remain with you always Of all which Progress not one word in all the New-Testament AND as a further Confirmation of our Symbolizing with Popery in our Rites and Service take a few Instances First That the Papists not only so long approv'd our Liturgy and kept their Communion in our Church in that Worship as before Remark't from Dr. More but also that the Popes themselves have offered to Confirm the same as Doctor Morton's Appeal discovers and that Pope Pius the 4 th and Gregory 13. offered to Queen Elizabeth to Confirm the English Liturgy as Camden in the Life of Queen Elizabeth testifies Dr. Boys produceth the Pope's Letter and Bristow's Approbation in his 39 th Motive And that the Jesuit Dr. Carryer saith That the Common Prayer and Catechism contain nothing contrary to the Romish Service Mountague asserts that our Service is the same in most things with the Church of Rome and that the Differences are not so great that we should make any separation Two famous Instances more we have mentioned in a Book called The Common Prayer-book Vnmasked p. 9.
