CHAP. II. The Conditions of the Conference; between a P. and R. and D.
R. SIR, I am desired by this person, who is brought by some of you to doubt of our Religion, to debate this Case with you in order to his satisfaction, Whether the Papists or the Protestants be the True and Safe Religion?
P. That is too large a Question: We cannot dispute of all our Religion at once: I will begin with you, about some one of the Articles of the Church of England, or the Visibility of your Church in all Ages, or the Resolution of your faith, &c. And this I will do only on these conditions, 1. That you bring some express Text of Scripture, which without your Interpretation, Reasonings or Consequences, doth assert that Article of yours which I shall accuse, or contradict any Article of our faith, which shall be questioned. 2. Or if you will go from the express words to Reasoning, that we keep to the strictest Rules of Logic, and that you use nothing but Syllogism, and that all be done in writing, and not by word of mouth.
