An answer to Mr. Dodwell and Dr. Sherlock, confuting an universal humane church-supremacy aristocratical…An answer to Mr. Dodwell and Dr. Sherlocke, confuting an universal humane church-supremacy aristocratical…

And doth not Dr. Stillingfleet's case shame what he saith of the Church of England, who was hardly brought to explain it, and at last denieth the very being of the Church in Mr. Dodwell's sense? which of you was to blame to meddle with the Word till you had skill in Causes, to understand it without a Definition?

And doth not Dr. Stillingfleet take it as the Introduction of Popery, to hold a Constitutive Regent Church-Government, National, or Catholic? and so he, and Mr. Dodwell mean not the same thing by the Church Catholic (nor Bishop Gunning, Mr. Thorndike, or the Church of Rome, who are all for an Universal humane Supreme power). And who is he that hath read Dr. Challoners Credo Eccles. Cathol. Chillingworth, Bishop Mortons Grand Imposture, Bishop Bilson, Dr. White, Dr. Whitaker, Dr. Sutliffe, Bishop Andrews, Bishop Carlton, &c. Chamier, Sadeel, Melanchthon, Bucer, &c. who knoweth not that the Papists and Protestants, by the name of the Catholic Church, do mean several things, and that we deny the very being of any such Church as they call the Catholic? And is this the bold and happy Disputant, that will save the Schools and World the labour of explaining Terms, and fore-agreeing of the sense, and put men on disputing, where the Subject is denied, and fill a Book with tedious confident Harangues, and then hide all the fraud by saying, that there is but one sense of all Terms, which Causes oblige m•n to mean; and that every one ought to know, who pretend to have skill in Causes? When the Cause disputed is only managed by words, as they signify the minds of the Speakers about the real matters▪
