acknowledge
my
carelesnesse
in
having
suffered
to
scape
unpunished
those
horrible
blasphemies
which
the
Iesuits
vomited
out
against
Iesus
Christ
,
in
a
Thesis
defended
the
last
year
in
the
Colledge
of
which
maintained
that
Has
a
greater
impiety
been
heard
of
!
But
it
is
ordinary
with
them
to
teach
erroneous
Doctrines
.
And
I
believe
't
is
from
the
impunity
of
that
Crime
that
the
boldnesse
has
been
taken
to
defend
the
like
Errours
in
against
her
Statutes
,
the
Doctrine
of
the
Church
,
and
the
maxims
of
State
and
of
this
Court
.
How
?
That
the
Pope
with
five
or
six
ignorant
Divines
with
mercenary
souls
should
be
infallible
to
make
Articles
of
Faith
of
whatsoever
Passion
,
Interest
,
or
Ambition
shall
suggest
to
him
.
Our
Ancestors
have
seen
the
fatal
consequences
and
effects
of
this
pernicious
doctrine
.
Wherefore
,
lest
this
poyson
should
spread
it self
farther
,
and
this
pernicious
doctrine
take
root
if
it
be
left
unpunished
,
I
conclude
the
Thesis
shall
be
struck
out
&
blotted
;
the
Defendant
&
President
constrained
to
maintain
the
direct
contrary
,
and
the
Syndic
never
to
approve
such
like
Theses
under
pain
of
being
extraordinarily
proceeded
against
.
The
Pope
and
Bishops
are
not
Authors
of
our
Faith
,
but
faithfull
Guardians
,
and
irrefragable
Witnesses
of
universal
Tradition
received
from
hand
to
hand
,
from
Iesus
Christ
to
us
;
according
to
Ancient
Decrees

The
Iesuits
having
defended
formerly
that
the
Advocate
General
complained
of
it
publickly
in
Parliament
;
remonstrating
that
this
was
a
most
horrible
impiety
,
and
highly
deserving
punishment
.
Whereupon
the
Court
of
the
said
Parliament
has
ordained
,
that
the
President
,
the
Regent
,
and
the
Schollars
which
maintained
it
,
should
appear
personally
to
receive
a
Reprehension

the

and
a
denouncing
of
corporal
and
publick
punishment
,
intended
and
resolved
to
be
inflicted

any
of
them
should
relapse
into
the
like
blasphemy
