A
brief
Account
of
one
Suggestion
OF
THE
ROMANIST
.
§
.
1.
IT
is
the
Stateman's
Maxime
concerning
a
false
Suggestion
,
that
if
it
be
believed
but
four
and
twenty
hours
,
the
value
of
it
is
inestimable
;
which
though
it
must
be
allowed
to
receive
a
grand
abatement
,
when
it
is
applyed
to
inferiour
and
less
considerable
transactions
,
yet
the
interests
of
Religion
,
in
the
maintenance
of
truth
,
are
not
so
despiseable
,
as
that
he
that
hath
appeared
or
embarked
in
them
,
can
safely
neglect
the
advantages
which
evil
arts
may
yield
,
or
furnish
an
adversary
against
him
.
§
.
2.
Such
in
reason
,
and
in
Experience
,
beyond
all
others
is
the
charge
of
falsifying
,
which
if
it
be
but
suggested
,
and
believed
of
any
,
and
much
more
if
a
pregnant
and
visible
proof
of
it
be
tendred
,
there
needs
no
other
blast
,
or
smut
,
or
vermine
to
lay
wast
the
whole
field
,
and
deprive
him
of
all
harvest
of
his
seed
and
labours
.
§
.
3.
How
this
is
my
concernment
at
this
time
,
the
Reader
will
not
suddenly
divine
,
till
I
have
entertain'd
him
with
a
short
relation
of
that
,
which
I
had
rather
my self
proclaim
on
the
house
top
,
then
leave
others
to
whisper
it
in
corners
.
§
.
4.
I
was
lately
advertised
by
a
judicious
and
Reverend
friend
,
that
it
was
particularly
urged
against
me
,
by
a
Romanist
,
that
I
had
mistaken
,
or
perverted
M.
Whites
words
,
which
I
referr
to
in
one
Dispatcher
Dispatcht
,
Chap.
III.
Sect.

p.
279.
where
I
suppose
him
to
answer
(
in
his
Apology
for
Trad.
p.
56.
)
that
the
beatifical
vision
of
the
Saints
before
the
day
of
Judgement
was
not
yet
held
a
matter
of
Faith
,
but
onely
a
Theological
conclusion
;
when
(
said
he
)
the
Apologist
in
that
very
place
had
expresly
said
,
that
this
point
is
a
matter
of
faith
,
grounded
on
Tradition
,
and
not
a
Theological
conclusion
.
§
.
5.
That
I
should
be
guilty
if
but
of
such
an
oscitancy
or
mistake
,
much
more
of
such
a
vile
perversion
as
this
,
I
may
be
allowed
to
have
been
as
unwilling
my self
to
believe
,
as
I
am
obliged
to
take
care
that
others
should
not
causelessly
apprehend
it
of
me
.
Therefore
without
delay
I
turned
first
to
mine
own
words
(
which
as
I
then
could
not
doubt
,
so
now
I
acknowledge
to
be
faithfully
related
)
then
to
Master
VVhites
words
,
in
the
page
of
his
Apology
,
whence
I
had
cited
them
,
and
those
I
found
exactly
,
and
to
a
letter
concordant
to
my
transcript
of
them
in
Disp
.
Disp
.
§
.

For
thus
I
still
read
(
if
I
will
not
at
noon-day
suspect
mine
own
eyes
)
in
that
Apologist
,
p.
56.
l.
12.
[
For
,
nothing
is
more
clear
,
then
that
the
validity
of
Baptism
by
hereticks
was
a
Tradition
,
and
decided
by
it
:
so
the
Beatifical
vision
of
the
Saints
before
the
day
of
Judgement
,
the
Spirituality
of
Angels
,
are
not
yet
held
matters
of
Faith
,
but
only
Theological
conclusions
;
as
likewise
the
souls
being
con-created
to
the
perfecting
of
the
body
.
]
What
can
be
more
manifest
,
then
that
in
this
period
the
Beatificall
Vision
of
Saints
before
the
day
of
judgement
is
by
that
Apologist
set
down
,
as
one
of
the
two
things
(
to
which
after
a
third
is
subjoyn'd
)
of
which
it
is
affirmed
in
the
plural
,
that
they
are
not
yet
held
matters
of
Faith
,
but
onely
Theological
conclusions
?
which
was
all
to
a
syllable
,
that
I
cited
from
him
in
that
place
,
with
this
onely
change
,
that
speaking
onely
of
one
of
these
,
the
Beatifical
vision
&c.
I
set
it
(
as
it
was
necessary
)
in
the
singular
[
is
not
yet
held
a
matter
of
Faith
,
but
onely
a
Theological
conclusion
.
]
§
.
7.
That
I
might
be
sure
not
to
have
mistaken
my
Author
,
I
carefully
consulted
the
Errata
;
but
there
was
none
noted
,
relating
to
that
page
:
and
indeed
the
whole
composure
of
the
period
was
such
,
that
there
must
be
a
concurrence
of
very
many
changes
in
the
compass
of
very
few
lines
(
more
I
believe
then
the
most
negligent
Compositor
and
Corrector
have
at
any
time
conspired
to
be
guilty
of
)
to
wrest
this
testimony
from
me
,
or
change
it
into
what
this
Romanist
had
affirmed
it
to
be
.
§
.
8.
Having
dispatch't
this
account
to
my
friend
,
from
whom
I
received
the
former
advertisement
,
I
had
no
cause
of
doubt
,
but
that
this
affair
had
received
its
full
period
,
the
Romanist
being
obliged
to
yield
to
such
full
uncontrollable
evidence
,
and
every
mans
eyes
,
to
whom
the
contrary
suggestion
could
be
offered
,
being
as
well
qualified
as
mine
,
to
secure
him
from
being
misled
by
it
.
And
on
these
grounds
of
safety
I
had
no
least
thought
of
troubling
the
Reader
with
any
account
,
or
complaint
,
which
I
now
see
is
become
some
part
of
my
interest
,
and
my
duty
.
§
.
9.
For
I
was
soon
assured
by
my
friend
,
that
the
words
which
I
had
punctually
transcribed
from
my
copy
of
the
Apology
,
were
not
to
be
found
in
that
,
which
he
had
before
him
,
but
quite
transformed
into
the
contrary
sence
,
even
that
for
which
the
Romanist
had
vouch'd
them
;
for
thus
he
found
them
[
For
,
nothing
is
more
clear
,
then
that
the
validity
of
Baptism
by
hereticks
was
a
Tradition
,
and
decided
by
it
:
so
the
Beatifical
vision
of
the
Saints
before
the
day
of
judgement
.
The
Spirituality
of
Angels
is
not
yet
held
a
matter
of
Faith
,
but
onely
a
Theological
conclusion
.
]
§
.
10.
By
this
representation
I
was
soon
forced
to
confess
,
that
the
whole
scene
was
changed
,
the
first
part
of
the
words
remaining
the
same
,
but
the
second
(
of
the
Beatifical
vision
of
the
Saints
)
which
were
my
onely
concernment
,
wholly
transformed
,
that
which
before
was
joyned
with
the
spirituality
of
Angels
,
as
not
yet
held
matters
of
faith
,
but
onely
Theological
conclusions
,
being
now
annext
to
the
validity
of
Baptism
by
hereticks
,
and
so
affirmed
to
be
a
Tradition
(
and
that
is
with
him
a
matter
of
Faith
)
and
decided
by
it
.
And
then
I
had
reason
to
acknowledge
the
candour
of
that
Romanist
,
who
proceeding
on
these
appearances
,
had
laid
no
heavier
a
censure
on
me
,
then
that
of
either
mistaking
,
or
perverting
M.
Whites
words
.
§
.
11.
In
this
new
posture
of
affairs
,
first
it
was
presently
discernible
,
that
the
very
many
changes
,
which
I
had
foreseen
,
had
been
really
made
,
to
bring
this
about
.
And
as
all
this
was
obvious
,
and
credible
to
be
done
by
a
new
Edition
of
the
book
,
so
it
remained
uncertain
to
me
whether
mine
,
or
that
other
so
contrary
to
it
,
were
the
true
and
authentick
Edition
:
this
therefore
was
my
next
care
to
examine
.
§
.
12.
And
herein
again
I
met
with
an
intricacy
;
for
if
the
title-pages
,
and
a
concurrence
of
all
obvious
indications
,
might
be
believed
,
there
was
all
this
while
but
one
edition
,
both
copies
carrying
in
their
front
,
A
Paris
,
chez
Jean
Billain
Rue
S.
Jacques
à
l'ensign
S.
Augustin
1654.
the
same
volume
,
print
,
number
of
pages
,
beginning
and
end
of
every
page
,
&c.
This
soon
suggested
that
which
was
the
onely
clue
to
extricate
me
then
(
and
the
reader
now
)
out
of
this
labyrinth
.
For
sending
to
the
Stationers
for
another
copy
of
the
Apology
,
as
from
one
I
received
a
copy
perfectly
agreeing
with
mine
,
so
by
the
help
of
another
I
was
furnisht
with
one
exactly
accordant
to
what
my
Monitor
from
the
Romanist
had
represented
to
me
,
yet
not
discernibly
differing
from
my
own
in
any
other
,
save
in
this
one
passage
;
and
looking
more
narrowly
,
first
the
paper
and
ink
wherein
that
leaf
was
printed
(
discernibly
differing
from
all
the
rest
of
the
book
)
was
apt
to
inject
some
suspicion
:
but
I
soon
saw
that
I
had
no
need
of
this
,
or
other
obscurer
intimation
,
it
being
grosly
visible
,
that
in
this
place
a
leaf
had
been
cut
out
,
&
a
new
one
pasted
in
.
And
what
Gordian
knot
might
not
have
been
untied
by
the
like
instrument
?
§
.
13.
VVhen
this
change
was
thought
fit
to
be
made
,
I
did
,
and
still
want
augury
to
divine
;
onely
this
is
apparent
,
that
it
was
a
work
which
second
thoughts
suggested
,
after
the
Book
was
published
,
else
my
copy
which
came
regularly
to
me
from
the
VVorcester-stationer
,
(
in
the
year
,
if
my
memory
fail
me
not
,
1655.
)
and
another
now
sent
me
from
another
Stationer
(
which
assures
me
there
be
many
more
)
must
have
had
their
parts
in
the
change
.
§
.
14.
Having
given
the
Reader
a
brief
and
single
view
of
this
matter
,
I
abstain
from
any
farther
observation
,
or
reflexion
on
it
,
then
what
a
Quo
teneam
vultus
mutantem
—
?
will
amount
to
.
But
that
is
also
unnecessary
,
my
whole
design
being
compleated
in
this
,
that
it
is
now
manifest
to
the
most
impersuasible
of
their
disciples
,
that
dare
read
what
is
written
against
their
Masters
(
which
I
perceive
few
are
permitted
to
do
)
that
I
neither
mistook
,
nor
perverted
the
Apologists
sence
or
words
,
those
,
I
mean
,
which
I
read
in
his
book
,
from
wch
alone
I
could
be
imagined
to
receive
cognizance
of
them
,
not
being
able
to
forecast
,
that
what
I
had
thus
really
transcribed
from
him
,
would
be
so
soon
snatcht
from
me
again
,
or
that
what
was
to
me
so
visible
,
should
vanish
,
and
become
invisible
to
other
men
.
§
.
15.
This
indeed
is
an
unexpected
proof
of
what
S.
VV.
had
told
me
,
concerning
the
VVits
(
enormous
)
power
to
transform
Testimonies
;
which
yet
shal
not
discourage
me
from
dealing
in
that
ware
,
(
being
firmly
resolved
never
to
make
use
of
my
duller
faculties
,
to
work
such
Metamorphoses
)
nor
yet
from
diverting
sometimes
into
such
pleasant
fields
,
adorned
with
so
great
varieties
,
as
that
Apologist
frequently
affords
the
world
,
hoping
,
that
I
shall
not
again
meet
with
such
misadventures
as
these
,
or
any
greater
interruptions
in
reading
him
,
then
what
a
competent
attention
,
and
a
table
of
Errata
shall
enable
me
to
overcome
.
§
.
16.
This
account
I
conceived
would
more
pardonably
,
because
more
moderately
,
divert
the
Reader
at
this
time
,
then
if
I
should
stay
till
it
were
solemnly
and
articulately
call'd
for
,
and
moreover
deliver
S.
VV.
from
some
temptation
,
himself
to
think
,
or
to
perswade
others
,
that
he
had
sprang
some
reall
game
to
invite
his
chases
,
some
guilt
to
support
his
contumelies
,
and
perhaps
prevail
with
some
of
their
most
credulous
followers
,
to
think
it
equitable
to
subject
the
suggestions
they
meet
with
to
some
other
waies
of
examination
and
triall
,
then
the
bare
authority
or
confidence
of
the
suggesters
.
THE
END
.
