[If thefethat I difpute withwill Thew themfelves openly to be Pa- pifls, and plead that Womenor Lay -Men may baptize in cafe of Neceflîty, &T.] See, fee his Magifterial canting crying out Popery upon whatever likes him not : Doth he know whom hehere condemns for Papifts ? Yes he doth, for he tells us, pg. 8r. that the ;8thCanon Elibertini Concilii (andhe tells us right) decrees, that in cafe of nece(fity a Lay Man may baptize; well an ancient Catholick Council held under the primitive pure Times, whilft Perfecution yet. exercifed the Church; more ancientthan the Council ofNice, and whereof Magnus Ogre Confeffor was a part, is peacht of Popery too, together with us. Enough of this, I might add much more. All this within the compafs of twenty Leaves, from pag. 4f. to 85. Reply to Sell. 27.. Allthis but a Sneer Miftake.(whether willing or unwilling) : I never took this Point 'alone enough to denominate a Man a Papilt; but becaufe ie is a Point wherein the Papilts generallyhold one way, and the Proteflants another, I take ic to be a fuller Difcovery which fide the forementioned Perfons are of: I durit not fay that the Error of Purgatory, or praying for the Dead, or -praying to Saints, no, nor Tranfubflantiationalone is fuffrcientto denominate a Man a Papilt.

You go the farther the worfe : I quoted Bishop Downame as one of the Epifco- pal Proteftants, to Thew that it is their Judgment, that Minigers ordained without Bishops may be true Minigers : Now becaufe the Bishop brings there two Teltimo- nies-on the by about Confirmation and Reconciliationof Penitents, you do (in myJudgment not well). a.
