That the Scripture alloweth not the Romish Reseruation.
§. 2.
7. S. Augustine (as he is cited by the Iesuit d 1.1Salmeron) saith that Scriptures, because they speake vnto men, doe vse no kinde of speech, which is not vsuall among men. Whereby I make bold to assume, that there is no speech in Scripture, whether it be proper or figuratiue, but it accordeth vnto the vse of the outward words and the meaning may possibly be apprehended by an intelligent Reader, who can iustly obserue the phrase of speech, and the due circumstances thereof. As for M. Parsons his Mentall Reseruation it is in∣apprehensible, because he saith that e 1.2The clause of Reserua∣tion may be what it pleaseth a man; and what soeuer he list to frame to himselfe: so that it agree with his minde, in a cause wherein he is not bound to make any direct Answere. For example sake, let vs take this: If a Priest being asked by a Protestant Magistrate vnto whom hee thinketh he is not bound to answere directly whether he be an Anoynted Priest? and shall answere, saying; I am not anoynted Priest, secret∣ly referuing this clause in my minde, not Anoynted, on my elbowes, or not Anoynted with Tarre or Oyle de Baye: is not this reseruation meerely Mentall, and no-way implied in the
descriptionPage 130
outward speech, but vnsearchable, and altogether degene∣rate from the proper or figuratiue vse of mans speech? Can he possibly find vs any colour for this Art of falshood, and coggery, out of the Gospell of truth.
