Who saith, The Church cannot err, (tho God and the World knows, there are not such great Errors in Principles, nor such villainous Enormities, cursed Actions, cruel and immoral Practices in the World besides,) which the poor Multitude believes, and kill others that oppose it, and venture Body and Soul upon it. 4. That says, that a Priest (tho he be a treacherous Villain, a Contriver of Murder, an abominable Adulterer) hath Power to absolve his equal and Fellow-Sinner from all his Offences, if he come to Confession, tho the pretended Penitent keep his old Habit of Wickedness still; contrary to what God and Jesus Christ say, That the Dauber with untempered Mortar, and the Daubed; the Layer of the Pillow under sinful Elbows, and the Leaner thereon; the blind Leader, as well as the blind Follower, shall all fall together. 5. That saith, There is a Purgatory, that is no part of Heaven or Hell; and that Men may be redeemed thence for Money: Tho God saith, The Redemption of Mens Souls is precious, and ceaseth for ever, after the Offering of the Body of Jesus once for all; that Redemption is not with corruptible Things, as Silver and Gold, but with the precious Blood of Christ, as a Lamb slain without spot. 6. That saith, That the Hands and Mouth of a filthy unclean Priest, can make not only the Bread and Wine sacred, but turn both into the real Body and Blood of the Son of God, make whole Christ of a pitiful Wafer-Cake, that after it is eaten, turns to Corruption; and before it is eaten, is a fit Feast for Rats and Mice; not only contrary to Reason, but the full Verdict of all our Senses. 7. That saith, That no Person, how good and pious soever he be, can be saved, out of the Pale of their polluted, ungodly, and devilish Church; tho the Scripture plainly affirms, That in every Nation, he that fears God, and worketh Righteousness, is accepted with him. 8. That says, 'Tis no Sin to lie, swear, and forswear, to kill, slay, and murder such as they call Heretics, (tho never so good) if it be for the Cause of the Church, with a thousand Things of the like Import, which the People do verily believe:
