work_v well_o according_a to_o their_o own_o way_n but_o they_o must_v have_v a_o good_a fat_a subject_a to_o work_v upon_o and_o this_o for_o the_o jesuit_n policy_n the_o second_o shall_v be_v answer_v after_o the_o three_o to_o the_o three_o than_o i_o have_v likewise_o answer_v before_o and_o now_o answer_v again_o first_o because_o i_o find_v the_o reform_a church_n of_o god_n in_o

a_o lukewarm_a laodicean_n especial_o 16._o see_v that_o my_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n promise_v to_o he_o that_o overcom_v will_v i_o grant_v to_o sit_v with_o 21._o i_o in_o my_o throne_n even_o

quarter_n yet_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v well_o do_v to_o conform_v to_o a_o middle_a religion_n between_o protestant_n and_o papist_n because_o extremity_n be_v to_o be_v avoid_v and_o

of_o the_o matter_n between_o we_o and_o rome_n they_o say_v that_o we_o be_v heretic_n we_o deny_v it_o they_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o see_v we_o believe_v the_o scripture_n which_o be_v give_v by_o divine_a iuspiration_n and_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o man_n of_o god_n perfect_a unto_o all_o good_a work_n we_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n they_o deny_v it_o but_o we_o can_v prove_v it_o out_o of_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n the_o apostles_n paul_n and_o john_n and_o so_o forth_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o controversy_n betwixt_o they_o and_o we_o so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o composition_n no_o more_o than_o betwixt_o light_n and_o darkness_n god_n and_o beliall_a for_o christ_n say_v plain_o he_o that_o be_v not_o with_o i_o be_v against_o i_o and_o he_o that_o gather_v 30._o not_o with_o i_o scatter_v abroad_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o mediocrity_n here_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o as_o the_o apostle_n aver_v there_o be_v but_o one_o 5_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o formal_a object_n god_n write_v word_n the_o authority_n whereof_o be_v from_o the_o author_n god_n himself_o and_o so_o be_v divine_a and_o what_o be_v contradictory_n to_o it_o be_v not_o divine_a nor_o to_o be_v believe_v to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o no_o meeting_n nor_o try_v with_o rome_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o papist_n believe_v many_o point_n common_a with_o we_o as_o the_o trinity_n incarnation_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v have_v faith_n and_o so_o faith_n will_v not_o be_v indivisible_a i_o answer_v that_o they_o have_v a_o material_a faith_n as_o turk_n and_o jew_n likewise_o have_v but_o not_o a_o formal_a faith_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n reveal_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n only_o and_o no_o other_o faith_n can_v be_v profitable_a for_o salvation_n the_o second_o branch_n of_o this_o politic_a objection_n be_v their_o doubt_n of_o my_o out_o come_v from_o rome_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v to_o stir_v up_o diffension_n betwixt_o reformist_n and_o cone-formists_a for_o the_o papist_n and_o jesuit_n profit_n to_o these_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o their_o critic_n spirit_n proceed_v more_o out_o of_o philosophical_a and_o mathematical_a than_o out_o of_o christian_a or_o thologicall_a ground_n in_o this_o their_o censure_n of_o my_o

that_o justify_v who_o 33_o be_v he_o that_o condemn_v secondlie_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n they_o wrong_v i_o pitiful_o for_o as_o the_o lord_n know_v i_o desire_v one_o
