succession_n of_o bishop_n and_o priest_n they_o retain_v a_o liturgy_n they_o continue_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o wear_v the_o surplice_n and_o see_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n they_o agree_v with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v papist_n now_o from_o the_o same_o systeme_n of_o logic_n i_o thus_o

ergo_fw-la the_o turk_n be_v a_o protestant_n sir_n i_o think_v it_o just_a as_o far_o from_o constantinople_n to_o geneva_n as_o from_o geneva_n to_o constantinople_n and_o when_o your_o cretain_v disputer_n will_v quit_v their_o sophistry_n and_o grant_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v no_o papist_n than_o i_o will_v be_v so_o honest_a as_o to_o protest_v that_o the_o turk_n be_v no_o

be_o sure_a he_o never_o see_v i_o at_o a_o popish_a consult_v in_o his_o life_n i_o have_v have_v the_o good_a fortune_n never_o to_o know_v one_o jesuit_n or_o romish_a priest_n in_o europe_n but_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v no_o great_a fondness_n for_o the_o word_n protestant's_n though_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o live_v and_o die_v in_o that_o religion_n as_o it_o be_v wise_o establish_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o because_o i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o fanatick-temp_a to_o cavil_v for_o nothing_o but_o obstinacy_n and_o humour_n i_o will_v ingenuous_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o have_v a_o singular_a disgust_n against_o that_o word_n protestant_a i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o be_v so_o much_o dutchify_v as_o to_o understand_v the_o phrase_n hogan-mogan_a as_o well_o as_o i_o and_o to_o grant_v protestant_n to_o be_v a_o high_a and_o mighty_a word_n in_o england_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o do_v not_o like_v it_o and_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o my_o last_o intelligence_n from_o adrianople_n assure_v i_o that_o the_o grand_a sultan_n and_o all_o his_o musselman_n be_v no_o way_n popish_o affect_v but_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v the_o test_n against_o popery_n and_o to_o renounce_v all_o popish_a doctrine_n and_o superstition_n with_o as_o much_o devotion_n as_o any_o presbyterian_a in_o england_n now_o if_o the_o mere_a protest_v against_o the_o pope_n must_v be_v the_o essential_a character_n of_o christian_a religion_n i_o confess_v i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o avoid_v the_o consequence_n but_o must_v conclude_v the_o turk_n to_o be_v a_o protestant_n and_o i_o think_v that_o name_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o passionate_o court_v by_o a_o christian_a that_o will_v not_o distinguish_v he_o from_o a_o turk_n second_o the_o establish_v church_n of_o england_n though_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o in_o great_a wisdom_n do_v not_o assume_v this_o particular_a characteristick_n of_o protestant_a in_o all_o its_o article_n canon_n and_o liturgy_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o private_o enamour_v of_o that_o name_n which_o the_o church_n never_o think_v fit_a public_o to_o espouse_v three_o the_o word_n protestant_n be_v above_o four_o and_o fifty_o degree_n of_o northern_a latitude_n and_o have_v so_o large_a a_o arch_n that_o it_o comprehend_v quakerism_n anabaptism_n catabaptism_n familism_n and_o all_o the_o fanatic_a colony_n and_o new-found-land_n of_o enthusiasm_n and_o though_o sir_n such_o a_o paper-roguery_n as_o the_o dialogue_n may_v call_v these_o man_n fanatic_n yet_o you_o know_v all_o sober_a and_o moderate_a man_n call_v they_o protestant_n and_o i_o acknowledge_v i_o have_v no_o great_a kindness_n for_o that_o word_n which_o do_v level_v a_o cathedral_n to_o a_o conventicle_n and_o make_v no_o distinction_n betwixt_o a_o archbishop_n and_o a_o lay-elder_n if_o i_o be_v cast_v upon_o japan_n and_o some_o command_a japonese_n will_v have_v a_o account_n of_o my_o religion_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o answer_v i_o be_o a_o christian_n which_o be_v a_o sound_v intelligible_a to_o all_o nation_n if_o i_o shall_v tell_v he_o i_o be_v a_o protestant_n he_o will_v fancy_n that_o name_n to_o be_v some_o particular_a sect_n of_o northern_a paganism_n but_o suppose_v in_o my_o return_n i_o shall_v land_n at_o thoulon_n and_o there_o some_o brisk_a monsieur_n shall_v demand_v my_o religion_n now_o if_o i_o shall_v answer_v i_o be_v a_o protestant_n they_o will_v run_v i_o through_o all_o the_o compass_n of_o protestant_a religion_n ask_v i_o whether_o i_o be_v a_o protestant_a according_a to_o the_o north_n or_o according_a to_o the_o point_n of_o the_o north_n and_o by_o east_n or_o the_o north_n north-east_n or_o the_o north-east_n and_o by_o north_n and_o so_o whirl_v i_o through_o more_o than_o two_o and_o thirty_o point_n before_o i_o can_v come_v to_o state_n my_o true_a position_n and_o since_o our_o circumstance_n require_v that_o we_o must_v have_v some_o other_o denomination_n beside_o that_o of_o christian_n i_o confess_v i_o have_v most_o veneration_n for_o the_o title_n of_o catholic_n which_o be_v of_o much_o elder_a date_n than_o the_o papacy_n and_o have_v be_v confirm_v and_o conseerate_v by_o three_o creed_n and_o four_o general_a council_n and_o the_o constant_a usage_n of_o the_o eastern_a and_o western_a church_n and_o though_o the_o ancient_a church_n do_v in_o council_n and_o public_a confession_n protest_v against_o the_o heresy_n of_o arrius_n novatus_n eutyches_n donatus_n &c_n &c_n with_o as_o much_o solemnity_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v against_o popish_a doctrine_n yet_o they_o think_v it_o not_o wisdom_n from_o this_o accident_n to_o call_v themselves_o protestant_n but_o do_v sacred_o retain_v the_o old_a title_n of_o catholic_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o general_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n catholic_n yet_o i_o observe_v that_o particular_a patriarchates_n and_o province_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n do_v claim_v a_o share_n in_o this_o title_n for_o i_o have_v see_v imperial_a and_o conciliary_a epistle_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o alexandria_n constantinople_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o sir_n before_o the_o first_o date_n of_o your_o history_n of_o popery_n i_o love_v no_o stylo_n novo_fw-la in_o religion_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o old_a style_n i_o call_v myself_o a_o member_n of_o the_o reform_a catholic_n church_n of_o england_n now_o this_o character_n will_v distinguish_v i_o from_o the_o pope_n the_o fanatic_a and_o the_o turk_n that_o fiery_a triplicity_n of_o the_o world_n four_o i_o have_v a_o persuasion_n that_o if_o the_o several_a church_n which_o reform_v themselves_o from_o the_o error_n and_o superstition_n of_o rome_n have_v continue_v a_o succession_n of_o bishop_n and_o priest_n and_o have_v retain_v the_o title_n of_o catholic_n with_o some_o decent_a reverence_n in_o public_a solemnity_n all_o modest_a papist_n will_v have_v embrace_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n and_o the_o pope_n will_v soon_o have_v be_v confine_v to_o st._n peter_n patrimony_n but_o leave_v the_o pope_n in_o possession_n of_o that_o ancient_a title_n of_o catholic_n and_o assume_v to_o ourselves_o a_o new_a style_n which_o the_o church_n never_o know_v for_o 1500_o year_n be_v as_o mighty_a a_o advantage_n to_o rome_n and_o as_o great_a a_o mischief_n to_o the_o reformation_n as_o our_o enemy_n themselves_o can_v have_v design_v for_o this_o give_v occasion_n for_o many_o to_o conclude_v that_o our_o church_n have_v no_o elder_a epocha_n than_o the_o augustan_n confession_n and_o that_o our_o religion_n be_v as_o new_a as_o the_o title_n of_o it_o how_o many_o proselyte_n this_o great_a scandal_n though_o little_a argument_n have_v gain_v the_o church_n of_o
