CHAP. IX.
Jews Objections.
The title of this Third Chapter is that, No Religion, or Sect, or Way, hath any advantage over another, nor all of them over Popery. To this we excepted before in general, that that way which hath the truth with it, hath in that wherein it hath the truth, the advantage against all others. Truth turns the scales in this business, wherever and with whomsoever be found; and if it lie in any way distant from Popery, it gives all the advantage against it that need be desired. And with this only enquiry, With whom the Truth abides, is this disquisition, What ways in Religion have advantage against others, to be resolved. But this course and procedure, for some reasons which he knows, and we may easily guess at, our Author liked not; and it it is now too late for us to walk in any path▪ but what he has trodden before us, ⟨p. 199⟩though it seem rather a maze, then a way for Travellers to walk in, that would all pass on in their Journey.
