But
in
the
very
entrance
on
this
I
find
my
the
Publick
Discourse
of
all
;
all
mouthes
open
against
me
,
some
maliciously
,
others
over-credulously
to
my
great
scandal
and
discouragement
,
and
aspersed
with
scandalous
surmizes
,
such
as
untill
this
occasion
were
never
known
.
But
if
I
so
suffer
,
I
know
I
am
not
alone
in
it
,
and
I
know
him
who
assures
me
of
a
blessing
,
while
othe
s
so
curse
.
Blessed
are
ye
,
saith
Christ
,
when
all
men
shall
revile
you
,
and
persecute
you
,
and
shall
say
all
manner
of
evil
of
you
falsely
for
my
sake

verse
11.
But
whatever
men
say
of
me
,
or
whatever
I
have
been
,
I
,
shall
by
the
Grace
of
God
approve
myself
in
my
conversation
so
as
not
to
be
a
scandall
to
the
Truth
now
professed
by
me
;
nor
shall
I
,
I
hope
be
a
reproach
to
the
Church
which
I
desi●e
now
to
be
received
into
,
thereby
hoping
in
time
to
stop
the
mouths
of
Traducers
to
their
own
shame
.
And
now
(
Good
People
)
having
given
you
some
Accompt
of
my self
as
to
my
life
,
I
beg
your
further
patience
,
while
I
add
some
thing
of
the
Motives
to
this
Change
;
some
only
I
offer
of
many
,
that
I
be
not
too
tedious
to
you
.
1.
One
was
the
consideration
of
that
(
as
I
conceived
unlimited
Pow●r
assumed
and
p●act●sed
by
the
Pope
for
dispencing
with
inc●stu●us
Marriages
in
the
greatest
nearness
of
blood
,
so
as
by
such
a
dispensation
purchased
with
mony
an
Uncle
might
be
allowed
to
marry
his
N●●ce
,
if
not
a
Brother
h●s
S
ster
.
This
I
know
to
be
contrary
to
Gods
Law
in
express
terms
,
and
how
any
mo●tall
man
or
creature
could
dispence
with
the
D●v●ne
Law
of
the
supreme
God
I
cou●d
not
understand
;
for
to
dispence
with
a
Law
is
(
we
know
)
an
Act
of
Prerogative
,
such
as
is
exe●cised
by
a
Super●our
over
an
Inferiou●
,
and
how
that
supremacy
wh●ch
the
Pope
challenged
on
Earth
should
rise
so
much
higher
,
was
I
profess
above
me
to
conceive
,
and
what
I
thought
not
fit
nor
safe
to
submit
my
reason
and
faith
unto
.
2.
I
was
further
told
,
and
must
have
believed
as
a
necessary
Article
of
Faith
,
that
in
consecrating
the
Host
in
the
holy
Eucharist
,
and
after
the
prolation
of
these
words
of
Consecration
,
Hoc
est
enim
Co●pus
meum
,
the
nature
of
Bread
and
Wine
thence
further
ceased
to
be
,
and
that
thereby
a
real
transubstantiation
is
made
of
the
natural
Body
and
Blood
of
Christ
as
he
was
born
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
his
Mother
,
and
as
he
was
after
offered
on
the
Cross
,
and
the
least
Particle
,
even
to
minimum
naturale
of
that
Bread
hath
Christ
wholy
and
entirely
in
it
,
and
that
wheresoever
consecrated
,
although
in
Millions
of
places
at
once
,
and
at
the
greatest
distances
;
and
that
the
Bread
alone
without
the
Cup
is
sufficient
and
comprehensive
of
both
,
and
that
Bread
alone
is
to
be
administred
to
the
People
exclusively
to
their
taking
of
the
Cup
,
and
the
Host
so
consecrated
is
to
be
adored
of
all
even
as
Christ
himself
,
and
with
the
same
divine
and
supreme
Worship
commonly
termed
Satreia
.
This
is
what
I
then
thought
of
that
Sacrament
,
wherein
I
found
many
things
sticking
.
1.
For
how
could
those
words
,
hoc
est
corpus
meum
,
although
very
plain
for
a
Real
Presence
,
reach
yet
to
a
Corporall
Presence
,
especially
considered
as
when
●hos●
words
were
pronounced
by
Christ
himself
in
the
fi
st
Inst●ution
;
for
was
that
B●ead
and
Wine
at
that
v
●y
time
Christs
very
Body
and
Blou●
naturally
?
Did
he
h
ld
h●mself
in
his
own
hands
?
and
did
he
himself
e●t
himself
?
was
he
himself
then
crucified
before
he
was
cr●cifi
d
?
or
was
it
not
then
a
signe
only
of
what
was
to
be
●one
to
●im
after
when
he
should
be
crucified
,
as
it
is
now
to
us
of
his
having
been
already
crucified
?
2.
And
if
that
be
so
,
and
not
such
change
be
made
as
is
suggested
,
but
that
the
consecrated
Bread
and
Wine
are
Bread
and
Wine
still
,
and
in
the
former
nature
after
Consecration
;
what
then
do
we
after
Consecration
in
adoring
that
for
Christ
himself
,
and
as
himself
,
which
is
not
himself
,
only
Sacramentally
?
This
could
not
be
(
as
I
conceived
,
without
danger
,
at
least
of
Idolatry
,
in
adoring
a
Creature
for
God
.
3.
I
saw
not
how
Christ
having
appointed
Bread
and
W●ne
both
,
and
not
one
alone
to
be
delivered
to
all
,
and
that
he
hath
said
particularly
of
the
Cup
,
Drink
ye
all
of
this
,
which
he
did
not
say
of
the
Bread
,
as
foreseeing
some
Injury
would
be
offered
to
that
part
of
his
blessed
Institution
above
the
other
,
in
taking
this
the
Cup
away
,
and
denying
it
to
some
,
the
Laity
,
while
the
other
the
Bread
,
and
administred
to
all
;
I
saw
not
(
I
say
)
how
that
could
consist
with
that
sacred
Institution
of
Christ
or
Lord
,
whose
actions
in
that
are
to
be
for
our
Imitation
,
as
is
his
command
for
our
obedience
.
4.
I
could
not
understand
how
Christs
Body
being
a
naturall
Body
as
ours
,
and
in
all
things
like
ours
(
present
glory
excepted
)
and
sh●uld
yet
be
infinitely
multiplyed
,
and
in
several
infinite
places
at
once
,
contrary
to
the
nature
of
a
true
Body
such
as
Christ
is
;
How
can
that
multiplication
of
Bodies
consist
with
one
Body
only
?
nor
did
what
I
heard
in
that
of
G●ds
Omnip
t●ncy
so
satisfy
;
for
where
is
it
found
and
seen
,
that
God
w●uld
do
so
.
And
Miracles
are
not
to
be
multiplied
unnecessarily
,
or
according
to
our
fancies
,
besides
what
is
further
to
be
said
in
it
.
5
That
which
was
imposed
on
our
Faith
concerning
Purgatory
was
a
scruple
also
to
me
,
that
being
a
place
said
to
be
for
Soules
after
death
,
there
to
be
purged
from
Sins
by
fire
and
sufferings
,
so
grievous
as
that
all
the
sufferings
in
this
life
is
said
to
be
nothing
in
comparison
;
Pu●gatory
fire
being
no
way
esteemed
short
even
of
Hell
it selfe
,
both
Torments
only
differing
in
duration
,
Hell
Torments
being
eternall
,
the
other
but
Temporary
.
1
But
that
Death
should
be
a
time
for
reforming
,
which
is
the
worke
of
this
life
only
,
is
what
is
contrary
to
Scripture
.
2
That
the
state
of
the
Soules
of
those
who
are
for
Heaven
(
for
such
only
are
said
to
be
for
Purgatory
)
others
,
having
Hell
for
their
Place
,
that
I
say
such
Soules
which
after
this
life
are
for
Blisse
and
Peace
should
be
for
Torments
unspeakable
,
is
what
is
also
contrary
to
Scripture
Revel
.
14.13
.
Where
Saint
John
saith
,
[
I
heard
a
voice
from
Heaven
saying
unto
me
,
Write
;
Blessed
are
the
Righteous
which
dye
in
the
Lord
from
hence
forth
;
yea
saith
the
Spirit
,
that
they
rest
from
their
Labours
and
their
works
doe
follow
them
]
so
saith
the
Spirit
of
God
whom
I
am
to
believe
rather
then
any
other
Spirit
that
tells
me
the
contrary
.
3
Nor
doe
I
finde
in
Scripture
such
a
place
as
that
of
Purgatory
is
said
to
be
.
4
Nor
is
that
Great
virtue
of
purging
from
Sin
given
to
any
fire
,
or
any
other
thing
,
that
being
peculiar
only
to
the
Blood
of
Christ
,
which
,
&
which
only
,
purgeth
us
from
all
sin
.
5
And
all
considered
I
had
just
cause
to
suspect
that
all
that
of
Purgatory
was
but
a
corrupt
designe
;
First
,
for
advantage
,
which
was
infinite
,
by
purchasing
on
that
ground
Indulgences
and
Masses
,
and
other
the
like
.
Secondly
,
that
it
might
be
a
politique
designe
for
making
up
the
Popes
greatness
,
both
in
giving
him
a
Supremacy
of
Power
in
Purgatory
as
on
Earth
,
and
further
by
fastning
all
men
and
their
Interests
unto
him
,
as
one
in
whose
power
is
there
after
peace
by
a
speedy
deliverance
out
of
those
scorching
flames
and
Torments
unspeakable
.
I
will
not
trouble
you
with
more
of
this
kind
at
present
,
having
I
doubt
gone
too
farre
already
,
only
know
that
this
and
much
more
so
sticking
with
me
,
I
could
not
be
so
wanting
to
my self
as
not
to
seek
Peace
and
Salvation
where
I
might
find
it
,
and
not
being
satisfyed
of
having
it
where
till
now
I
had
in
vain
expected
it
.
And
now
Right
Reverend
Father
in
God
my
Lord
Bishop
of
Meath
,
in
whose
hands
I
thus
put
my
se●f
,
being
within
your
Diocess
,
and
Charge
,
I
humbly
desi●e
tha
you
would
accept
of
this
my
humble
acknowledgement
of
former
Errors
which
I
now
Renounce
,
and
he●e
I
lay
down
at
your
feet
what
before
I
esteem'd
mine
H●nour
,
this
Patent
of
my
Priorship
of
Trim
,
with
which
I
cast
off
at
once
all
of
that
k●nd
,
and
kneeling
,
I
humbly
beg
to
be
rece●v
to
●ommunion
with
you
,
and
that
I
may
have
y●ur
B

a

,
that
