mufti_n and_o root_n up_o the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n for_o if_o religion_n may_v be_v defend_v by_o arm_n it_o may_v also_o be_v propagate_v by_o they_o and_o for_o man_n to_o talk_v of_o defend_v their_o religion_n and_o secure_v their_o conscience_n by_o arm_n be_v a_o fit_a doctrine_n only_o for_o such_o hypocritical_a conscience_n who_o can_v hold_v their_o principle_n no_o long_o

and_o oppression_n as_o tyranny_n mean_v the_o exercise_n of_o illegal_a and_o arbitrary_a power_n let_v these_o question_n be_v but_o fair_o and_o honest_o answer_v and_o it_o will_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o rebellious_a hypothesis_n and_o in_o particular_a direct_o answer_v all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o the_o assertion_n and_o argument_n of_o these_o gentleman_n and_o for_o the_o two_o

this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o they_o all_o they_o have_v confidence_n enough_o to_o talk_v over_o and_o repeat_v their_o new_a doctrine_n but_o will_v neither_o answer_v our_o argument_n nor_o their_o

bless_a reformation_n compound_v of_o all_o four_n another_o character_n we_o have_v and_o that_o be_v that_o he_o make_v war_n upon_o his_o neighbour_n without_o reason_n or_o colour_n of_o

there_o be_v a_o person_n who_o thrust_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o save_v the_o ark_n but_o because_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n it_o cost_v he_o his_o life_n and_o by_o the_o immediate_a judgement_n of_o god_n himself_o prince_n perhaps_o may_v mistake_v themselves_o and_o think_v themselves_o qualify_v to_o save_v church_n and_o kingdom_n but_o if_o they_o so_o far_o mistake_v as_o to_o thrust_v
