§. 11.
First then, Sir, I am a Catholick because I believe that Christ the Author and Finisher of our Faith is infinitely both good, wise and om∣nipotent. His goodness inclined him to come down into this world to save mankind, by establishing a Church upon earth, which should re∣main till the end of the world, and in which the way to Heaven should be so taught, as not only the Wise and Learned, but the Poor, Simple and Ignorant also should by Faith and Obedience be made partakers of Eternal Happiness. Now his goodness having designed this; his wisdom enabled him to appoint ways and means proper to effect that his blessed Design; and omnipotence, to make those means success∣ful.
