13._o sess_n 13._o but_o to_o come_v close_o the_o romish_a society_n we_o charge_v it_o with_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n it_o be_v a_o religion_n bloody_a damnable_a traitorous_a blind_a and_o blasphemous_a and_o madam_n i_o go_v upon_o sure_a ground_n for_o i_o well_o know_v their_o doctrine_n have_v read_v they_o in_o their_o chief_a author_n and_o by_o way_n of_o discourse_n and_o dispute_n with_o their_o priest_n etc._n etc._n and_o as_o for_o their_o practice_n i_o have_v be_v long_o enough_o at_o rome_n among_o they_o and_o in_o other_o place_n to_o observe_v they_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v the_o charge_n first_o their_o religion_n be_v idolatrous_a because_o it_o give_v the_o creature_n the_o dead_a and_o image_n the_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n alone_o the_o image_n and_o wafer-god_n of_o papist_n be_v dumb_a idol_n as_o well_o as_o those_o of_o the_o heathen_n their_o distinction_n of_o latreia_fw-la and_o douleia_fw-la be_v idle_a and_o frivolous_a for_o in_o 22._o in_o rev._n 22._o scripture_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n which_o adore_v he_o be_v call_v ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d so_o paul_n call_v himself_o 1.1_o himself_o rom._n 1.1_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o rev._n 19.10_o the_o word_n there_o to_o adore_v be_v not_o derive_v from_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d but_o from_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d but_o these_o thing_n i_o must_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o now_o to_o pray_v to_o saint_n to_o the_o dead_a to_o adore_v the_o wafer_n to_o worship_n image_n be_v not_o all_o this_o to_o give_v the_o creature_n the_o worship_n due_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o be_v it_o not_o to_o pay_v relic_n divine_a worship_n as_o to_o fall_v down_o kneel_v before_o and_o kiss_v they_o to_o go_v in_o pilgrimage_n to_o their_o shrine_n and_o sepulcher_n and_o to_o expect_v help_n from_o they_o second_o it_o be_v a_o superstitious_a religion_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o innumerable_a vain_a foppery_n in_o their_o devotion_n wherein_o they_o place_v religion_n as_o the_o virgin_n milk_n peter_n beard_n christopher_n tooth_n the_o head_n rib_n arm_n finger_n etc._n etc._n of_o such_o a_o saint_n such_o thing_n rome_n be_v full_a of_o and_o hardly_o any_o of_o their_o church_n but_o have_v some_o such_o thing_n to_o show_v what_o be_v their_o holy-water_n salt_n spital_n holy-oil_n bead_n whip_n fish-day_n nunnery_n pilgrimage_n baptise_v of_o bell_n font_n cross_v themselves_o etc._n etc._n now_o let_v we_o look_v into_o their_o ritual_n and_o by_o their_o practice_n judge_v of_o their_o belief_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v whole_a almanac_n full_a of_o saint_n of_o their_o own_o make_n i_o dare_v say_v of_o some_o who_o never_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o of_o other_o who_o perhaps_o be_v now_o torment_v in_o hell_n they_o have_v many_o more_o saint_n than_o there_o be_v day_n in_o the_o year_n to_o these_o they_o pay_v the_o same_o ceremony_n in_o the_o selfsame_a word_n attend_v with_o the_o same_o bowing_n and_o kneel_n as_o they_o do_v to_o god_n himself_o farthermore_o they_o direct_o to_o they_o offer_v their_o prayer_n consecrate_v church_n appoint_v holiday_n and_o make_v vow_n to_o they_o which_o be_v but_o creature_n now_o dead_a and_o lie_v in_o their_o dust_n and_o ash_n if_o this_o be_v not_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o be_v so_o three_o it_o be_v a_o bloody_a religion_n witness_v their_o many_o massacre_n of_o the_o waldenses_n albigenses_n and_o other_o their_o bartholomew-eve_n in_o france_n cruelty_n in_o ireland_n and_o in_o so_o many_o other_o part_n of_o europe_n their_o principle_n and_o canon_n of_o some_o of_o their_o council_n their_o inquisition_n and_o congregation_n de_fw-fr propaganda_fw-la fide_fw-la be_v well_o know_v four_o that_o religion_n be_v damnable_a for_o it_o overthrow_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o christianity_n for_o their_o transubstantiation_n destroy_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n human_a nature_n their_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n or_o the_o mass_n his_o only_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n offer_v once_o for_o all_o their_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n his_o merit_n the_o multitude_n of_o mediator_n among_o they_o make_v void_a the_o only_a mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n their_o sacrifice_a priest_n overthrow_v christ_n priestly_a office_n as_o their_o tradition_n do_v his_o prophetical_a so_o be_v the_o great_a article_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o free_a justification_n through_o god_n grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n by_o their_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n pardon_n indulgence_n treasure_n of_o the_o church_n and_o work_v of_o will-worship_n five_o it_o be_v blind_a which_o be_v plain_o make_v out_o by_o their_o doctrine_n of_o blind_a obedience_n and_o implicit_a faith_n according_a to_o they_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o one_o to_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a to_o believe_v what_o the_o church_n believe_v though_o he_o know_v not_o what_o the_o church_n do_v believe_v six_o it_o be_v a_o treacherous_a religion_n for_o they_o teach_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v depose_v king_n and_o lawful_o absolve_v subject_n from_o their_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n last_o we_o charge_v it_o to_o be_v blasphemous_a because_o the_o peculiar_a excellency_n of_o divine_a majesty_n and_o the_o prerogative_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o ascribe_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n who_o psalter_n by_o bonaventura_n do_v contain_v abundance_n of_o blasphemy_n for_o all_o the_o glorious_a thing_n in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n speak_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o blasphemous_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n who_o be_v but_o a_o creature_n and_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o they_o give_v not_o only_o to_o the_o virgin_n but_o also_o to_o multiply_v their_o idolatry_n to_o other_o creature_n both_o dead_a and_o alive_a as_o to_o their_o pope_n to_o who_o and_o to_o their_o priest_n they_o attribute_v a_o power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n which_o be_v a_o downright_a blasphemy_n for_o who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n alone_o mark_v 2.7_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o non-succession_n and_o show_v that_o peter_n be_v no_o bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o else_o he_o have_v be_v a_o non-resident_n and_o he_o never_o be_v at_o rome_n herein_o to_o be_v ingenuous_a we_o shall_v say_v we_o have_v no_o positive_a proof_n but_o next_o to_o that_o we_o have_v that_o which_o be_v as_o good_a neither_o can_v they_o with_o true_a and_o

though_o they_o which_o be_v for_o the_o negative_a shall_v not_o yet_o we_o hope_v to_o demonstrate_v he_o never_o be_v bishop_n in_o rome_n after_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n peter_n for_o several_a year_n together_o continue_v in_o the_o land_n of_o judea_n and_o thereabouts_o for_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o act_n we_o read_v of_o he_o in_o chapter_n 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o
