CHAP. X.
I Come now to the next and principal part of my task, which is to open to you their Deceits, and give you Directions for the discovery and confutation of them, that by the help of these you may see the Truth.
Detect. 1. Remember this ground which they have given you, that If you prove them guilty but of any one Error in points of belief determined by their Church, you thereby disprove the whole body of Popery, as such. For you pull up the foundation which they build on, and the Authority into which they resolve their faith. They will grant you, that if they are deceived by the Church in one thing, they have no Certainty of any thing upon the Churches credit. So that if you read Pauls discourse against Praying in an unknown tongue, or the many precepts for our reading and meditating in the Law of God, or the like, and can but perceive that the Popish Latin service, or their forbidding men to read the Scripture, &c. are contrary hereto, or if you find out but any one of their Errors, you cannot be a Papist, if you understand their Profession.
