Excerpt from Fourth Letter to the Rev. William Palmer, M.A., Of Worcester College, Oxford: On the Way to Find the True Church of Christ on Earth, on Satisfaction, on Indulgences, on the Supremacy of the See of Rome, Infallibility, Eucharist, Etc;, Etc N ow in a Dispute about the Truth of revealed Mysteries which are above our understanding, and which consequently cannot be decided by the Force of human Reason, it cannot be doubted but the safest and wisest Course we can take to secure the Salvation of our Souls is to depend upon the greatest authority upon Earth. And, therefore, since the Authority of both Catholics and Protestants joined together is greater than that of Protestants alone, it follows plainly, that. It is both safest for any Man to choose the Roman Catholic Church preferably to any of the Reformed Churches, which alone allow Salvation to be attainable in their own Communion; whereas the declared enemies of the. Roman Catholic Church allow it to be attainable in the Communion of that Church - (remark their inconsistency in this respect). Catholics, therefore, cannot be suspected of partiality in their own cause relating to this point, because they have their very Enemies on their side; but Protestants may be suspected of partiality, because they are the sole Judges in their own Cause, and have not only the whole Body of Roman Catholics now extant in the World, but the Authority of all the Councils, Bishops, and Pastors of the Catholic Church for fifteen ages before the Reformation against them. Mr. Lesly, in his Case Stated, is pleased to call this a childish Argument; but I have not yet seen a solid Answer to it.
