cardinal_n cajetan_n do_v not_o positive_o say_v as_o he_o affirm_v he_o do_v but_o what_o if_o he_o have_v why_o true_o then_o say_v this_o discourser_n the_o defender_n do_v not_o falsify_v he_o no_o true_o neither_o shall_v i_o have_v accuse_v he_o of_o it_o see_v the_o defender_n acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o unction_n of_o the_o sick_a continue_v in_o the_o east_n and_o west_n for_o 800_o year_n nay_o i_o may_v add_v see_v both_o he_o and_o this_o discourser_n though_o they_o charge_v the_o church_n with_o alter_v her_o intention_n yet_o can_v deny_v but_o there_o be_v a_o unction_n practise_v in_o the_o east_n and_o western_a church_n from_o age_n to_o age_n ever_o since_o the_o apostle_n time_n notwithstanding_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n be_v cease_v and_o see_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o those_o ritual_n of_o the_o first_o 800_o year_n which_o the_o defender_n say_v have_v a_o primary_n respect_n to_o bodily_a cure_n have_v also_o a_o respect_n to_o those_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v primary_n in_o dignity_n as_o we_o have_v now_o to_o both_o and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v make_v out_o by_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o tradition_n that_o it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a for_o such_o successive_a innovation_n to_o be_v make_v as_o the_o defender_n and_o the_o discourser_n have_v imagine_v what_o madness_n will_v it_o be_v to_o reject_v a_o practice_n come_v down_o by_o such_o a_o uninterrupted_a tradition_n and_o a_o universal_a consent_n of_o particular_a church_n upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o one_o man_n affirm_v that_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v from_o that_o text_n of_o scripture_n but_o there_o be_v a_o second_o part_n of_o this_o tale._n i_o pass_v by_o say_v this_o discourser_n your_o insinuation_n that_o he_o the_o defender_n suppose_v the_o unction_n mention_v by_o st._n james_n be_v practise_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o the_o first_o 800_o year_n he_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n nor_o suppose_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o only_o that_o for_o 800_o year_n they_o esteem_v st._n james_n be_v unction_n to_o belong_v primary_o to_o bodily_a cure_n which_o they_o may_v do_v and_o yet_o in_o less_o than_o 800_o year_n they_o may_v bring_v in_o a_o unction_n different_a from_o that_o of_o st._n james_n though_o both_o of_o they_o be_v primary_o design_v for_o bodily_a cure_n now_o real_o sir_n if_o this_o be_v insinuate_v it_o be_v not_o without_o just_a ground_n for_o see_v the_o defender_n endeavour_n be_v to_o maintain_v that_o this_o expression_n of_o st._n james_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v of_o bodily_a cure_n and_o back_v his_o assertion_n with_o the_o ancient_a liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o public_a practice_n of_o it_o for_o above_o 800_o year_n which_o he_o affirm_v be_v also_o for_o bodily_a cure_n and_o see_v he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hint_n at_o any_o alteration_n during_o all_o that_o time_n how_o can_v any_o one_o imagine_v but_o he_o suppose_v the_o unction_n mention_v by_o st._n james_n be_v practise_v till_o that_o time_n especial_o see_v he_o can_v not_o but_o foresee_v the_o many_o woeful_a contradiction_n which_o necessary_o follow_v such_o a_o pretend_a change_n as_o chemniti●s_v invent_v and_o you_o have_v espouse_v after_o he_o but_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o tale_n brother_n to_o the_o former_a and_o therefore_o a_o notable_a one_o too_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o cardinal_n cajetan_n do_v not_o positive_o say_v as_o the_o defender_n affirm_v he_o do_v it_o be_v true_a and_o i_o say_v it_o still_o a_o three_o time_n and_o shall_v make_v it_o evident_o appear_v to_o any_o one_o that_o will_v weigh_v the_o proposition_n the_o defender_n affirm_v that_o card._n cajetan_n free_o confess_v that_o this_o passage_n of_o st._n james_n can_v belong_v to_o no_o other_o than_o bodily_a cure_n but_o say_v this_o discourser_n the_o only_a pretence_n you_o have_v that_o the_o cardinal_n do_v not_o positive_o say_v what_o the_o defender_n affirm_v he_o to_o have_v say_v be_v that_o the_o defender_n do_v not_o give_v the_o cardinal_n be_v own_o word_n but_o what_o he_o conceive_v to_o be_v his_o sense_n here_o sir_n you_o be_v embark_v in_o the_o same_o vessel_n with_o the_o defender_n and_o espouse_v his_o danger_n you_o affirm_v with_o he_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o passage_n of_o cardinal_n cajetan_n be_v a_o free_a confession_n that_o st._n james_n word_n can_v belong_v to_o no_o other_o than_o bodily_a cure_n let_v we_o lay_v the_o proposition_n together_o and_o see_v whether_o they_o be_v equivalent_a or_o no_o or_o whether_o you_o be_v a_o necessary_a inference_n from_o the_o other_o for_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v i_o hope_v you_o will_v grant_v it_o to_o look_v something_o like_o what_o i_o call_v it_o the_o cardinal_n proposition_n according_a to_o your_o own_o translation_n be_v a_o falsification_n it_o neither_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n nor_o by_o the_o effect_n that_o he_o st._n james_n speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o extreme_a unction_n but_o rather_o of_o the_o unction_n which_o our_o lord_n appoint_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v use_v upon_o sick_a person_n by_o his_o disciple_n for_o etc._n etc._n the_o defender_n proposition_n be_v cardinal_z cajetan_n free_o confess_v that_o these_o word_n of_o st._n james_n be_v any_o man_n sick_a etc._n etc._n can_v belong_v to_o no_o other_o than_o bodily_a cure_n now_o sir_n that_o these_o two_o proposition_n cardinal_n cajetan_n acknowlege_v that_o extreme_a unction_n can_v be_v prove_v from_o that_o passage_n but_o rather_o a_o unction_n for_o bodily_a cure_n and_o cardinal_n cajetan_n free_o confess_v that_o that_o passage_n can_v belong_v to_o no_o other_o but_o bodily_a cure_n be_v not_o equivalent_a i_o appeal_v to_o any_o one_o who_o can_v but_o understand_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o proposition_n what_o you_o say_v do_v not_o prove_v the_o assertion_n and_o what_o you_o say_v prove_v the_o contrary_a but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o one_o be_v a_o necessary_a inference_n from_o the_o other_o for_o as_o the_o defender_n say_v when_o two_o thing_n only_o be_v in_o controversy_n for_o the_o cardinal_n absolute_o to_o exclude_v the_o one_o and_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o other_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o confess_v that_o it_o can_v only_o belong_v in_o that_o well_o but_o what_o if_o the_o cardinal_n do_v not_o absolute_o exclude_v the_o one_o but_o say_v this_o do_v not_o appear_v but_o rather_o that_o will_v you_o therefore_o infer_v positive_o therefore_o it_o can_v only_o belong_v to_o that_o i_o assure_v you_o sir_n if_o you_o have_v no_o better_a premise_n to_o prove_v your_o other_o conclusion_n by_o than_o what_o you_o have_v for_o this_o though_o they_o may_v perplex_v the_o less_o learned_a yet_o any_o one_o who_o know_v what_o connexion_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v betwixt_o the_o premise_n and_o the_o conclusion_n will_v deny_v your_o consequence_n but_o to_o make_v this_o clear_a suppose_v i_o shall_v tell_v you_o you_o can_v positive_o prove_v from_o that_o passage_n go_v you_o baptise_v all_o nation_n etc._n etc._n nor_o from_o any_o other_o in_o scripture_n without_o the_o general_a practice_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n that_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v i_o the_o proposition_n but_o shall_v i_o say_v that_o passage_n and_o all_o the_o other_o in_o scripture_n concern_v baptism_n can_v belong_v to_o no_o other_o but_o to_o adult_n i_o persuade_v myself_o you_o will_v not_o ready_o give_v i_o your_o assent_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o a_o parallel_n case_n with_o the_o other_o pray_v show_v the_o difference_n i_o may_v here_o return_v your_o own_o compliment_n and_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o may_v have_v spare_v all_o this_o trouble_n because_o it_o be_v so_o clear_a that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o word_n to_o make_v a_o honest_a man_n understand_v it_o and_o all_o the_o word_n in_o the_o world_n will_v signify_v nothing_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o so_o honest_a as_o he_o shall_v be_v but_o sir_n it_o must_v be_v such_o another_o man_n as_o you_o and_o the_o defender_n seem_v to_o be_v who_o read_v the_o cardinal_n word_n and_o can_v find_v he_o to_o be_v so_o positive_a as_o you_o say_v he_o be_v but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o proper_a to_o use_v so_o much_o gall_n where_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o dove_n ought_v to_o prevail_v especial_o see_v you_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o who_o be_v honest_a and_o wise_a will_v not_o so_o much_o consider_v who_o they_o be_v that_o break_v forth_o into_o the_o most_o vehement_a exclamation_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v clamorous_a censure_n or_o bold_a assertion_n as_o who_o they_o be_v that_o bring_v the_o clear_a proof_n thus_o sir_n of_o the_o two_o tale_n you_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n the_o first_o be_v a_o mere_a cavil_v and_o the_o other_o be_v plain_o your_o own_o so_o that_o i_o have_v a_o just_a occasion_n give_v i_o from_o hence_o to_o admonish_v you_o and_o the_o defender_n that_o if_o either_o of_o you_o undertake_v to_o vindicate_v he_o from_o those_o calumny_n falsification_n false_a translation_n etc._n etc._n which_o i_o have_v so_o just_o charge_v he_o with_o you_o do_v not_o make_v yourselves_o more_o guilty_a by_o espouse_v their_o defence_n for_o though_o i_o think_v i_o may_v have_v excuse_v the_o defender_n from_o a_o wilful_a intention_n to_o falsify_v cardinal_z cajetan_a in_o his_o exposition_n yet_o see_v both_o he_o and_o you_o have_v go_v about_o to_o defend_v that_o which_o be_v so_o plain_o a_o falsification_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v you_o yourselves_o have_v do_v the_o prejudice_n either_o to_o your_o own_o honesty_n or_o understanding_n pray_v take_v your_o choice_n for_o one_o at_o least_o belong_v to_o you_o you_o seem_v to_o boast_v of_o a_o talon_n the_o defender_n have_v of_o answer_v book_n so_o quick_o much_o good_a may_v do_v he_o with_o it_o i_o envy_v he_o not_o but_o wish_v he_o will_v take_v more_o care_n to_o study_v what_o he_o say_v himself_o and_o to_o peruse_v the_o collection_n that_o other_o bring_v he_o in_o that_o we_o may_v not_o hereafter_o be_v trouble_v with_o false_a translation_n or_o so_o many_o thing_n to_o so_o little_a purpose_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o have_v other_o employment_n which_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v much_o preferable_a to_o this_o so_o that_o it_o be_v only_o spare_a minute_n
