A78369	The Catholick mirrour. Or, a looking-glasse for Protestants Wherein they may plainly see the errours of their church, and the truth of the Roman Catholick. Which is divided into seventeen chapters, containing the principle points in dispute between Catholicks and Protestants, and all proved by their own Bible, for the satisfaction of those that desire to imbrace true religion.		1662 (1662)	Wing C1494A; ESTC R229524	59,266	156

in_o the_o same_o church_n and_o i_o pray_v then_o where_o will_v your_o error_n remain_v but_o in_o your_o own_o bosom_n but_o see_v further_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o our_o saviour_n part_v out_o of_o this_o world_n tell_v his_o apostle_n that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o we_o have_v two_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n

then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o truth_n at_o all_o for_o we_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o for_o this_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o if_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v guide_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n it_o can_v err_v and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v guide_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n therefore_o the_o church_n of_o god_n can_v err_v and_o though_o i_o have_v make_v this_o good_a already_o yet_o i_o will_v make_v it_o more_o plain_o appear_v from_o christ_n own_o word_n where_o he_o exhort_v brethren_n to_o be_v reconcile_v one_o to_o another_o which_o if_o they_o will_v not_o do_v by_o reasonable_a persuasion_n they_o shall_v tell_v the_o church_n 17._o matth._n 18._o v._n 17._o and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n let_v they_o be_v as_o heathen_n and_o publican_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o if_o the_o church_n be_v not_o infallible_a just_a and_o free_a from_o error_n our_o saviour_n will_v never_o have_v tie_v we_o to_o her_o judgement_n in_o our_o faith_n and_o manner_n under_o so_o sad_a a_o penalty_n as_o be_v a_o heathen_a if_o we_o do_v not_o hear_v and_o submit_v to_o she_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o every_o one_o to_o submit_v to_o god_n church_n which_o be_v infallible_o true_a lest_o they_o be_v heathen_n in_o the_o esteem_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o consequent_o outlaw_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n again_o see_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o same_o gospel_n and_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o 18._o matth._n 16._o v._n 18._o that_o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v never_o prevail_v against_o it_o now_o if_o the_o church_n can_v be_v erroneous_a than_o you_o must_v deny_v this_o gospel_n to_o be_v true_a for_o no_o error_n can_v be_v in_o the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o prevail_a power_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v mean_v by_o hell-gate_n and_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v shall_v never_o prevail_v against_o it_o so_o by_o this_o we_o be_v certain_a the_o church_n can_v err_v and_o we_o may_v confident_o confide_v in_o she_o in_o all_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o for_o your_o further_a assurance_n if_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o enough_o i_o will_v show_v you_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v concern_v this_o truth_n where_o he_o confirm_v all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v of_o it_o speak_v to_o holy_a timothy_n 15._o 1_o tim._n 3._o v._n 15._o but_o if_o i_o tarry_v long_o that_o thou_o may_v know_v how_o thou_o

not_o monstrous_a to_o think_v of_o error_n and_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v in_o what_o place_n christian_n shall_v ever_o be_v free_a from_o error_n in_o their_o faith_n if_o not_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o for_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v free_a from_o it_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a for_o then_o all_o man_n will_v grope_v in_o dark_a uncertainty_n which_o

allay_v the_o furious_a spirit_n of_o one_o kingdom_n nor_o reduce_v they_o to_o any_o obedience_n to_o their_o church_n so_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o hold_v this_o opinion_n as_o a_o article_n of_o their_o church_n all_o the_o world_n will_v see_v they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n because_o it_o have_v error_n by_o which_o they_o be_v force_v to_o maintain_v it_o as_o well_o as_o

they_o never_o can_v prove_v the_o time_n when_o nor_o the_o occasion_n how_o so_o be_v it_o impossible_a it_o ever_o shall_v because_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v god_n holy_a spirit_n guide_v

not_o the_o mind_n of_o many_o man_n corrupt_v with_o imperious_a principle_n they_o can_v not_o be_v so_o evil_a as_o to_o question_v yea_o deny_v the_o gift_n both_o of_o grace_n and_o nature_n that_o god_n have_v give_v both_o to_o angel_n and_o man_n when_o we_o have_v much_o reason_n to_o adore_v and_o praise_v he_o that_o he_o have_v so_o much_o esteem_v of_o any_o of_o our_o nature_n

though_o there_o be_v a_o grand_a mistake_n in_o this_o point_n among_o protestant_n and_o we_o be_v abuse_v in_o it_o yet_o i_o shall_v by_o god_n assistance_n and_o by_o his_o holy_a word_n clear_v the_o mistake_n which_o may_v easy_o remedy_v the_o abuse_n for_o in_o all_o mystery_n of_o christian_a religion_n we_o be_v to_o consult_v with_o god_n word_n which_o if_o right_o understand_v can_v

multitude_n nor_o ought_v the_o slanderous_a tongue_n of_o man_n to_o be_v trust_v in_o but_o if_o you_o find_v it_o plain_o declare_v

in_o scripture_n then_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o believe_v it_o for_o this_o be_v a_o general_a crime_n in_o this_o age_n that_o man_n think_v nothing_o can_v be_v true_a if_o their_o narrow_a capacity_n can_v comprehend_v it_o as_o if_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v so_o open_a for_o every_o one_o understand_v to_o enter_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o which_o if_o they_o be_v so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o faith_n because_o faith_n be_v only_o require_v in_o those_o thing_n our_o nature_n can_v comprehend_v and_o so_o may_v every_o turk_n and_o pagan_n be_v as_o good_a a_o believer_n as_o a_o christian_a therefore_o for_o the_o redress_n of_o this_o evil_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v whether_o christ_n give_v this_o power_n to_o his_o apostle_n or_o no_o for_o if_o they_o have_v the_o power_n to_o pardon_v sin_n as_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n the_o same_o power_n must_v remain_v to_o their_o successor_n in_o that_o church_n because_o otherwise_o all_o succeed_a age_n will_v receive_v no_o benefit_n by_o that_o gift_n which_o our_o saviour_n give_v for_o the_o good_a of_o we_o all_o that_o lay_v hold_v of_o it_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v this_o power_n be_v plain_a and_o easy_a enough_o first_o from_o saint_n matthews_n gospel_n where_o our_o saviour_n tell_v saint_n peter_n he_o will_v build_v his_o church_n on_o he_o he_o say_v 19_o mat._n 16._o v._n 18_o 19_o and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o thou_o shall_v bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o thou_o shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n by_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a power_n give_v he_o to_o pardon_n or_o not_o to_o pardon_v and_o that_o those_o which_o he_o do_v not_o pardon_v on_o earth_n shall_v not_o be_v pardon_v in_o heaven_n which_o be_v the_o same_o in_o god_n church_n to_o this_o day_n and_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o consider_v what_o reason_n they_o have_v to_o be_v member_n of_o it_o by_o which_o consist_v our_o eternal_a salvation_n again_o our_o saviour_n tell_v his_o disciple_n in_o general_a say_v whatsoever_o you_o shall_v bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n 18._o mat._n 18._o v._n 18._o and_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o they_o have_v this_o power_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o deny_v the_o same_o power_n to_o their_o successor_n in_o god_n church_n will_v in_o my_o esteem_n be_v very_o unreasonable_a and_o as_o in_o all_o other_o point_n of_o faith_n the_o contempt_n of_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o want_n of_o a_o right_a understanding_n of_o they_o as_o i_o have_v show_v elsewhere_o so_o be_v it_o the_o same_o in_o this_o for_o it_o be_v buzz_v in_o poor_a people_n ear_n can_v man_n pardon_v sin_n or_o can_v priest_n forgive_v we_o or_o the_o pope_n absolve_v we_o without_o any_o consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o at_o all_o for_o if_o we_o right_o understand_v ourselves_o or_o do_v but_o consult_v with_o reason_n we_o shall_v soon_o be_v undeceive_v in_o this_o mystery_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v question_v by_o any_o man_n second_o priest_n can_v pardon_v sin_n by_o any_o natural_a power_n they_o have_v more_o than_o other_o man_n but_o by_o a_o supernatural_a grace_n from_o god_n we_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o it_o appertain_v to_o god_n only_o by_o nature_n to_o pardon_v sin_n and_o so_o do_v many_o other_o thing_n as_o work_v of_o miracle_n and_o cast_v out_o of_o devil_n and_o heal_v the_o sick_a and_o the_o like_a which_o power_n we_o know_v god_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o prove_v by_o christ_n himself_o where_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o that_o true_o believe_v in_o he_o say_v he_o these_o sign_n shall_v follow_v 18._o mark_n 16._o v._n 17_o 18._o in_o my_o name_n shall_v they_o cast_v out_o devil_n they_o shall_v speak_v with_o new_a

recover_v now_o it_o be_v certain_a all_o these_o excellency_n appertain_v to_o god_n by_o nature_n but_o if_o he_o be_v please_v to_o give_v this_o power_n to_o man_n what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o question_n or_o be_v offend_v with_o it_o which_o power_n be_v equal_a to_o that_o of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o we_o see_v be_v both_o give_v to_o man_n by_o god_n three_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o priest_n do_v not_o pardon_v our_o sin_n immediate_o from_o themselves_o but_o ministerial_o as_o when_o they_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o absolution_n on_o we_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o pardon_v we_o otherways_o he_o will_v not_o 23._o john_n 20._o v._o 23._o as_o christ_n say_v who_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v and_o who_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v so_o that_o you_o see_v this_o be_v plain_o true_a if_o you_o dare_v believe_v christ_n himself_o now_o that_o this_o may_v not_o seem_v strange_a to_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o great_a virtue_n that_o be_v in_o baptism_n where_o by_o the_o application_n of_o water_n and_o a_o few_o word_n by_o the_o priest_n or_o minister_n the_o child_n be_v pardon_v of_o all_o its_o original_a sin_n now_o it_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n nor_o water_n nor_o word_n that_o pardon_v the_o child_n but_o god_n himself_o who_o be_v please_v by_o they_o and_o that_o mean_n to_o do_v
