that_o popery_n call_v antichristianity_n be_v no_o worse_o a_o thing_n than_o these_o and_o so_o honour_n popery_n and_o deride_v its_o accuser_n i_o will_v these_o name_n be_v all_o the_o wrong_n that_o protestant_n have_v do_v to_o the_o protestant_a cause_n of_o reformation_n and_o all_o that_o they_o have_v ignorant_o do_v for_o popery_n but_o we_o hope_v our_o great_a intercessor_n will_v procure_v forgiveness_n for_o they_o that_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v but_o must_v the_o church_n still_o suffer_v so_o much_o by_o its_o zealous_a friend_n chap._n xiii_o what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o other_o christian_n towards_o the_o papist_n in_o order_n to_o the_o promote_a of_o the_o common_a interest_n of_o christianity_n though_o i_o have_v distinct_o answer_v this_o question_n in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o my_o key_n for_o catholic_n i_o will_v here_o answer_v it_o again_o lest_o i_o be_v think_v to_o run_v into_o extreme_n or_o encourage_v the_o extreme_n of_o other_o by_o all_o that_o i_o have_v here_o and_o elsewhere_o say_v and_o as_o to_o the_o chat_n of_o ignorant_a faction_n that_o will_v say_v i_o contradict_v myself_o i_o will_v answer_v it_o with_o contempt_n and_o pity_n §_o i._o first_o we_o must_v lay_v deep_a in_o our_o mind_n and_o inculcate_v on_o our_o hearer_n the_o common_a fundamental_a truth_n and_o duty_n that_o love_n be_v the_o second_o great_a commandment_n like_v to_o the_o first_o that_o it_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n that_o he_o that_o dwell_v in_o love_n dwell_v in_o god_n and_o god_n in_o he_o that_o he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v love_v not_o god_n who_o he_o never_o see_v that_o some_o love_n belong_v to_o enemy_n and_o much_o more_o to_o brethren_n that_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v we_o must_v live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o man_n yea_o and_o follow_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n and_o that_o these_o be_v duty_n that_o nothing_o can_v dispense_v with_o §_o ii_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v and_o commend_v all_o that_o be_v good_a among_o they_o and_o must_v true_o understand_v in_o what_o we_o be_v agree_v that_o be_v they_o acknowledge_v all_o the_o same_o book_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n which_o we_o acknowledge_v they_o own_o all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n which_o we_o own_o and_o of_o the_o nicene_n and_o constantinopolitan_a creed_n they_o own_o all_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n save_v that_o they_o take_v the_o second_o to_o be_v but_o part_n of_o the_o first_o and_o divide_v the_o ten_o into_o two_o they_o teach_v in_o their_o catechism_n all_o the_o beatitude_n math._n 5._o and_o the_o moral_a virtue_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n hope_n and_o love_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o that_o practical_o and_o sincere_o do_v all_o this_o have_v many_o promise_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o scripture_n §_o iii_o we_o must_v not_o untrue_o fasten_v on_o they_o any_o error_n which_o they_o hold_v not_o nor_o put_v a_o false_a sense_n on_o their_o word_n though_o we_o may_v find_v many_o protestant_n that_o so_o charge_v they_o nor_o may_v we_o charge_v that_o on_o the_o party_n which_o be_v hold_v but_o by_o some_o who_o other_o contradict_v how_o far_o many_o protestant_n herein_o mistake_v and_o rash_o wrong_v they_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n freewill_n grace_n merit_n justification_n redemption_n perseverance_n etc._n etc._n i_o have_v free_o show_v in_o my_o catholic_n theology_n and_o end_n of_o doctrinal_a controversy_n and_o ludovicus_n le_fw-fr blank_n after_o other_o have_v excellent_o open_v §_o iv._o we_o must_v not_o take_v all_o the_o laity_n to_o own_o all_o that_o the_o dispute_a clergy_n write_v for_o when_o they_o neither_o understand_v it_o nor_o consent_n to_o it_o §_o v._o as_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o essential_o of_o popery_n and_o their_o integral_n or_o other_o corruption_n so_o we_o must_v not_o charge_v any_o with_o the_o first_o mere_o for_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o of_o the_o other_o else_o we_o must_v call_v all_o the_o greek_n moscovite_n abassine_n armenian_n etc._n etc._n papist_n §_o vi_o we_o must_v still_o distinguish_v between_o christ_n catholic_n church_n unify_v by_o his_o own_o headship_n only_o and_o the_o papal_a church_n unify_v by_o a_o pretend_a universal_a humane_a head_n monarchical_a or_o aristocratical_a and_o so_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o a_o christian_a as_o such_o and_o a_o papist_n as_o such_o and_o we_o must_v hold_v communion_n with_o papist_n in_o christianity_n though_o not_o in_o popery_n and_o must_v grant_v that_o those_o that_o hold_v christ_n headship_n and_o christianity_n more_o firm_o and_o practical_o than_o the_o pope_n headship_n and_o popery_n and_o see_v not_o the_o contradiction_n will_v renounce_v the_o papacy_n if_o they_o see_v it_o may_v be_v save_v §_o vii_o to_o profess_v utter_a averseness_n to_o all_o reconciliation_n with_o they_o and_o to_o declare_v they_o no_o christian_n but_o antichristian_o that_o must_v be_v the_o object_n only_o of_o our_o hostility_n be_v to_o be_v adversary_n to_o the_o first_o mention_v fundamental_o and_o to_o the_o common_a interest_n of_o peace_n and_o christianity_n §_o viii_o we_o must_v disclaim_v their_o opinion_n that_o say_v that_o the_o church_n become_v antichristian_a in_o 300_o or_o 400_o or_o 600_o or_o any_o time_n before_o the_o pope_n claim_v universal_a jurisdiction_n over_o the_o christian_a world_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o then_o the_o papal_a revolt_n do_v not_o reach_v one_o half_a the_o church_n §_o ix_o we_o must_v not_o impute_v the_o papal_a or_o patriarchal_a vice_n and_o pride_n to_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o inferior_a bishop_n though_o in_o council_n too_o many_o be_v very_o factious_a for_o even_o a_o heathen_a amm._n marcellinus_n tell_v we_o the_o great_a difference_n by_o papal_a pride_n and_o low_a bishop_n humility_n and_o virtue_n §_o x._o we_o must_v not_o take_v the_o question_n whether_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n as_o more_o necessary_a than_o it_o be_v nor_o make_v the_o decision_n a_o article_n of_o faith_n nor_o lay_v more_o of_o the_o stress_n of_o our_o difference_n on_o it_o than_o we_o ought_v for_o we_o have_v many_o far_o clear_a argument_n against_o they_o from_o plain_a scripture_n §_o xi_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o force_v the_o vulgar_a to_o dispute_n with_o papist_n without_o cause_n on_o force_a exposition_n and_o supposition_n that_o turn_v the_o revelation_n against_o rome_n papal_n as_o the_o babylon_n and_o antichrist_n there_o mean_v when_o so_o much_o may_v be_v say_v and_o be_v by_o some_o protestant_n to_o make_v it_o likely_a that_o it_o be_v but_o rome_n pagan_a that_o be_v there_o mean_v we_o must_v not_o give_v their_o disputer_n the_o advantage_n of_o challenge_v we_o before_o the_o vulgar_a to_o name_v one_o man_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o more_o after_o christ_n that_o expound_v the_o revelation_n as_o we_o do_v or_o that_o take_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v antichrist_n §_o xii_o we_o must_v not_o imitate_v the_o great_a novel_a expositor_n of_o the_o revelation_n that_o make_v the_o seven_o church_n to_o be_v seven_o state_n and_o age_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n and_o two_o of_o they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v after_o the_o conflagration_n and_o consequent_o that_o if_o by_o the_o angel_n of_o each_o church_n be_v mean_v the_o bishop_n either_o alone_a or_o with_o his_o elder_n as_o most_o think_v old_a and_o new_a expositor_n than_o a_o universal_a humane_a head_n be_v of_o god_n institution_n and_o if_o that_o be_v true_a than_o p●pery_n will_v be_v right_a in_o its_o essential_o and_o we_o in_o the_o wrong_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n therefore_o of_o the_o ignorant_a factious_a zeal_n of_o over-doer_n that_o make_v man_n papist_n by_o false_a oppose_v they_o §_o xiii_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n lest_o we_o make_v any_o one_o falsehood_n a_o part_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o reformation_n much_o less_o many_o plain_a falsehood_n as_o too_o many_o do_v for_o when_o papist_n find_v any_o such_o untruth_n they_o will_v judge_v of_o our_o religion_n in_o the_o main_a by_o those_o §_o fourteen_o we_o must_v see_v that_o in_o the_o form_n of_o our_o government_n and_o worship_n we_o own_v not_o principle_n of_o confusion_n and_o set_v not_o up_o ourselves_o our_o devise_a term_n of_o church_n admittance_n and_o communion_n and_o thereby_o seem_v to_o justify_v such_o addition_n among_o papist_n and_o other_o §_o xv._n we_o must_v live_v in_o love_n and_o peace_n and_o concord_n among_o ourselves_o that_o our_o fraction_n sect_n and_o error_n and_o envious_a opposition_n make_v we_o not_o a_o scorn_n and_o make_v not_o papist_n think_v that_o we_o be_v mad_a and_o
