A TABLE OF CHAPTERS.

BOOK I. Wherein is treated of the Method which the Author of the Perpetuity has follow'd.

CHAP. I. THAT I have reaſon to take for granted, as I have done, the Proofs of Mr. Aubertin, againſt the Book of the Perpetuity, till Mr. Arnaud has ſhew'd them to be invalid Page 1

CHAP. II. That the Author of the Perpetuity's Method may be juſtly ſuſpected to be deceitful, and that his manner of aſſaulting Mr. Aubertin's Book is diſingenious 8

CHAP. III. The third Obſervation juſtifi'd, viz. That the Author of the Perpetuity has been to blame in pretending to overthrow the proofs contain'd in Mr. Aubertin's Book, by Arguments which can amount to no more than mere conjectures 15

CHAP. IV. My fourth Obſervation juſtifi'd, viz. that we need but oppoſe our Proofs of Fact againſt the Author of the Perpetuity's Arguments, to make them invalid 25

CHAP. V. The pretended advantages which Mr. Arnaud attributes to the Treatiſe of the Perpetuity, examin'd 34

CHAP. VI. A farther examination of the pretended Advantages which Mr. Arnaud attributes to the Treatiſe of the Perpetuity. 44

CHAP. VII. The ſix laſt Chapters of Mr. Arnaud's Book, examin'd 53

BOOK II. Wherein is ſhewn, that when it ſhould be true, that thoſe which are called the Schiſmatical Churches believed Tranſubſtantiation; yet would it not thence follow, that this Doctrin was always held by theſe Chriſtians.

CHAP. I. COntaining the chief Heads of this whole Controverſie touching the Eaſtern Churches, and their Opinion from the 11th. Century to this preſent. Mr. Arnaud's firſt Artifice laid open 61

CHAP. II. That the temporal ſtate of the Eaſtern People ſince the 11th. Century, and the efforts the Latins have made to communicate to them their Religion, do invalidate the proof which is pretended to be drawn foom their Belief. Mr. Arnaud's ſecond Illuſion detected 73

CHAP. III. That the Greek Emperors, led by politic intereſts, have themſelves favoured the deſigns of the Latins, in introducing their Doctrins into Greece. Mr. Arnaud's third Artifice diſcovered 81

CHAP. IV. That the Monks and other Emiſſaries, with which the Eaſtern Countreys have been for a long time repleniſh'd, do invalidate the proof, taken from the Belief of theſe people. Mr. Arnaud's fourth deceit laid open 89

CHAP. V. That the means the Emiſſaries have uſed for the introducing of the Roman Religion amongſt the Schiſmatics, the Seminaries which have been ſet up for the ſame deſign, and the particular inſtructions given them touching the Doctrin of Tranſubſtantiation, do ſufficiently ſhew that there can no advantage accrue to Mr. Arnaud by their Belief. Mr. Arnaud's fifth Artifice diſcovered 97

BOOK III. Wherein is ſhewn that the Greek Schiſmatical Church, ſo called, holds not Tranſubſtantiation.

CHAP. I. THE queſtion ſtated, and Mr. Arnaud's ſixth illuſion manifeſted 109

CHAP. II. The firſt Proof taken from the Greeks refuſing to uſe the term of Tranſubſtantiation: The ſecond from their not expreſly teaching the converſion of Subſtances. Mr. Arnaud's ſeventh Deluſion 114

CHAP. III. The third proof taken from that the expreſſions uſed by the Greeks are general, and inſufficient to form the idea of a ſubſtantial Converſion.

CHAP. V. The ſeventh proof drawn from that the Greeks do not believe the Particles of the Virgin Mary and the Saints ought to be Conſecrated on the great Altar, as is that of our Saviour, and yet they diſtribute them to the people, in the ſame manner as they do the Body of Jeſus Chriſt, Mr. Arnaud's tenth Fallacy laid open. The eighth proof drawn from their believing that the Euchariſt Conſecrated on Holy Thurſday, has a greater virtue than that which is Conſecrated at other times. The ninth proof taken out of ſeveral paſſages of their Liturgies 134

CHAP. VI. The tenth proof taken from that the Greeks do often uſe an extenuating term, when they call the Euchariſt the Body of Jeſus Chriſt.

The twelfth from their believing the Dead, and thoſe in Deſerts remote from all Commerce, do receive the ſame as we do in the Communion 143

CHAP. VIII.
