can_v and_o to_o follow_v good_a example_n where_o they_o be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o these_o reflection_n of_o he_o a_o man_n must_v have_v very_o good_a luck_n that_o meet_v with_o any_o thing_n

under_o the_o head_n of_o indulgence_n the_o papist_n teach_v that_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o any_o other_o power_n upon_o earth_n can_v give_v leave_n to_o sin_n for_o a_o sum_n of_o money_n nay_o in_o his_o first_o book_n the_o papist_n believe_v it_o damnable_a to_o hold_v that_o any_o power_n in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n can_v do_v it_o now_o we_o will_v suppose_v this_o to_o be_v the_o

they_o who_o have_v censure_v it_o be_v not_o censure_v for_o it_o the_o title_n shall_v have_v be_v yet_o more_o wary_o contrive_v thus_o a_o exposition_n of_o the_o bishop_n private_a sentiment_n which_o sentiment_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o express_a word_n of_o a_o general_n approve_a council_n then_o perhaps_o the_o vindicator_n may_v have_v do_v something_o in_o discharge_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o vindicator_n but_o as_o the_o case_n stand_v he_o ought_v henceforward_o to_o change_v his_o name_n and_o to_o write_v himself_o the_o betrayer_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n

church_n sense_n in_o necessary_a practice_n he_o add_v a_o new_a limitation_n unless_o say_v he_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o what_o you_o term_v old_a popery_n be_v deliver_v as_o a_o practice_n

to_o salvation_n to_o worship_n moloch_n in_o a_o word_n the_o general_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o virgin_n the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o

laugh_v at_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o philosopher_n that_o will_v put_v a_o good_a sense_n upon_o their_o abominable_a worship_n the_o vindicator_n say_v he_o admit_v the_o parallel_n but_o he_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o will_v never_o make_v any_o thing_n for_o we_o till_o we_o can_v show_v that_o the_o church_n do_v or_o do_v make_v use_n of_o rack_n and_o gibbet_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o

he_o do_v not_o admit_v the_o parallel_n though_o he_o say_v he_o do_v admit_v it_o for_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n be_v bring_v in_o charge_v paganism_n with_o a_o barbarous_a and_o idolatrous_a

therefore_o if_o the_o parallel_n be_v admit_v we_o may_v conclude_v a_o old_a popery_n from_o a_o like_o general_a practice_n without_o inquire_v whether_o rack_n and_o gibbet_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o torture_n be_v use_v to_o enforce_v it_o upon_o the_o people_n but_o the_o vindicator_n have_v require_v a_o wise_a condition_n to_o make_v the_o parallel_n hold_v for_o he_o say_v in_o effect_n that_o before_o christianity_n appear_v against_o heathenism_n and_o till_o the_o pagan_n have_v some_o people_n to_o hang_v and_o to_o torture_v paganism_n can_v not_o be_v charge_v with_o a_o
