PREFACE.

constantly in Mind, as long as he is reading the
Answer to it. For, without this, it will be im-
possible for him to judge, whether the Proofs,
which I offer in Defence of my Answer, be per-
tinent or not. To help in this the Reader's Me-
mory, in the next Impression (if there be any)
the Questions, as far as is necessary, shall be set
in a small Character, at the Top of every Page.
Some Reflections on Mr. Chillingworth's Book
will also be added.

IS a general Rule of Catholick Faith, that

TO there is no Salvation out of the CATHO-

LICK COMMUNION.

Is it the common Duty of all Men, to be in the

Catholick Communion ?

Is it a great and grievous Sin, for any one to live

and die out of the Catholick Communion?

Is this general Rule of Catholick Faith, that none are

fav'd out of the Catbolick Communion, agreeable to An-

Is not this general Rule, that none are sav'd out of the

Catholick Communion, very uncharitable, if it be un-

derstood of a Church in one Communion only?p.34

Is it not uncharitable and barbarous to oblige all

Men to think as we do?

Is not every one sav'd, who lives according to his

munion of Christians ?

Cannot a Man have a saving Faith in any Com-

Is not this the Word of Faith, that if you shall con-

fess with your Mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in

your Heart, that God has rais'd him from the Dead, you

Shall be fav'd. Rom. x. v. 8, 9.

Do we not read, Whoever believes, that Jesus is Christ,

is born of God. 1 John v. v. 1? And that God is no

Respecter of Persons; but in every Nation, he who fears

God, and works Righteousness, is acceptable to him. Ats

x. v. 34, 35? And lastly, that whoever sball call upon

the Name of the Lord, fwall be fav'd. Rom. x. v. 13.

Does not the Scripure say, or suppose, that of all

Religions a Remnant shall be fav'd?

Is not a Reformation, in wicked Times, a real

and great Blefsing?

Cannot a Man be fav'd at present, if he be in

Communion with the Apostles, and with the Ca-

tholick Church of the three first Ages?
P. 70

Invincible Neceffity and invincible Ignorance, are

the only Exceptions from the GENERAL RULE a-

bove mention'd.

What is meant by invincible Neceffity, and by in-

vincible Ignorance ?

Can a Perfon be sav'd, who dies, by invincible Ne-

ceffity, out of the Catholick Church?

Does invincible Ignorance excuse Men from the

Guilt of Herefy and Schifm?

Is any one far'd by invincible Ignorance?

Cannot a Person, who is out of the Catholick

Church, have a saving Faith, in any Communion of

Christians, who believe the Trinity and the Incar-

nation, if he be invincibly ignorant of the Heresy and

Schifm, in which he is engag'd?

Can a Person be in a State of Salvation, who is

out of the Catholick Church, and who (by invincible

Ignorance of his Duty) positively refuses to be a

What think you of those, who hold, that a Per-

fon may be sav'd, in any Communion of Christians,

without invincible Ignorance ?

\

Is Ignorance always invincible, when a Man follows

his Confcience, and acts without Remorse? p. 89

If the Catholick Church did not think all Persons

damn'd, who refuse to die in her Faith and Com-

munion; why does not she give them ChristianBu-

rial? Why does not she pray for them, as she does

even for publick Sinners, who die in her Commu-

Can Scholars, who make Religion their Study,

have invincible Ignorance of the true Church ?

How is invincible Ignorance to be had?

The CATHOLICK COMMUNION is the Commu-

nion of those, who are known by the Name of Ca-

THOLICKS, and who have had this name in all Ages.

Can the Catholick Church be in separate Com-

munions, as in that of Catholicks, of Protestants, of

modern Greeks, &c.

Is not the universal Church in one Communion a

plain Contradiction ?

Is the Catholick Church upon Earth always in

Being, from her first Foundation and Enlargement

by Christ and his Apostles, to the End of the World?

Is the Catholick Church upon Earth, always a

visible and known Society?

Is the Catholick Church always Orthodox? p. 128

Are not new Terms of Communion, new Defi-

nitions of Faith, and new Creeds a manifest Proof

[blocks in formation]

Is the Faith and Language of the Catholick

Church the fame in all Ages ?

Is the Discipline of the Catholick Church the

fame in all Ages ?

Are Protestants the whole Catholick Church ?

Or, are they in Communion with it?

Were the Vaudois, or poor Men of Lyons, the whole

Catholick Church? Or, were they in Communion

with it, since their Separation from Rome? p. 207

Did the Greeks before their Schifm, own the Pope's

Did the Bishops of Rome, before Boniface the 3d.

challenge a Supremacy in Spirituals, over the whole

Are the modern Greeks the Catholick Church ?

Quest. 15.
P. 244

Is not the Church of Rome, the great Whore in in the

Apocalypfe, Ch. xvii. v. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 18? p. 252

Does not the Scripture foretell a great and gene-

ral Apostacy, 2 Theff. ii. v. 3? And that, when the

thousand Years are expir'd, Satan shall be loofed out of his

Prison, and shall go out to deceive the Nations, which are

in the four Quarters of the Earth, Apoc. xx. v. 7, &c ?

Does not the Spirit say exprefly, that in the latter times

Some shall depart from the Faith, giving ear to seducing Spi-

rits, and to the Doctrines of Devils, forbidding to marry,

and commanding to abstain from Meats, which God has

created to be receiv'd with Thanksgiving, &c. 1 Tim. iv.

Is the Church, in Communion with the Bishop

and See of Rome, the Catholick Church?
