Ass. 2-23-1932 A ROLAND FOR DR. MILNER'S OLIVER. (See the quotations on the reverse of his Title-page from the same Authors.) "They dare even to rebaptize Catholics, whereby they more amply confirm the fact that they themselves are heretics; since it hath seemed good to the whole Church Catholic not to rescind the common baptism even in heretics themselves."-ST. AUSTIN, Doctor of the Church, A. D. 400. Lib. de Hæresibus, LXIX. . "The Sacrament of Baptism is that which he has who is baptized; and the Sacra*ment of conferring Baptism is that which he has who is ordained. But as the "baptized person, if he shall recede from the unity, does not lose the Sacrament of Baptism; so also the ordained person, if he shall recede from the unity, does not lose the Sacrament of conferring baptism."-ST. AUGUSTINE, Doctor of the Church, A. D. 400. Cont. Donatistas. Lib. I. c. i. "1. If any Papist living, or all the Papists living, can prove unto me that the present Roman Church, is eyther the Catholique Church, or a sound member of the Catholique Church, I will subscribe. 2. If any Papist living, or all the Papists living, can prove unto me that the present Church of England is not a true member of the Catholique Church, I will subscribe. 3. If any Papist, &c., can prove unto mee, that all those points, or any one of those points which the Church of Rome maintaineth against the Church of England, were or was, the perpetuall Doctrine of the Catholique Church: the concluded Doctrine of the representative Church in any generall Councell, or Nationall approved by a Generall: or the dogmaticall resolution of any one Father, for 500 yeares after Christ, I will subscribe.-DR. MONTAGUE, Bishop of Norwich. Gagger Gagged. To the Reader. "Since the time that I could understand the Dispute about Religion, when it was demanded, on the behalf of the Church of Rome, Where was your church before Luther's time? The Answer hath always been: Even where it is now. The answer was: That it is the same church that it was; a church which was sick, and is now cured; which was corrupted, and is now cleared of her corruptions."-DR. HERBERT THORNDIKE, Prebendary of Westminster. Just Weights and Measures. P. 1. "It was the challenge of St. Augustine to the Donatists, who (as the Church of Rome does at this day) inclos'd the Catholick Church within their own circuits: Ye say that Christ is heir of no Lands but where Donatus is Coheire. Read this to us out of the Law and the Prophets, out of the Psalms, out of the Gospel itself, or out of the Letters of the Apostles. Read it thence and we believe it. Plainly directing us to the Fountains of our Faith, the Old and New Testament, the words of Christ, and the words of the Apostles. For nothing else can be the foundation of our Faith, whatsoever came in after these foris est, it belongs not unto Christ.-DR. JEREMY TAYLOR, Bishop Down. Dissuasive from Popery. Chap. 1, Sect. 1, |
