she_o who_o i_o wonder_v shall_v now_o be_v think_v fit_a to_o decide_v this_o dispute_n she_o will_v be_v try_v and_o judge_v by_o no_o other_o but_o herself_o for_o she_o be_v resolve_v to_o be_v sole_a and_o infallible_a judge_n in_o all_o controversy_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n she_o will_v accuse_v we_o and_o she_o will_v leave_v we_o no_o room_n for_o our_o own_o defence_n she_o will_v condemn_v we_o and_o she_o will_v not_o permit_v we_o to_o question_v the_o justice_n of_o her_o sentence_n she_o tell_v we_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v she_o and_o obey_v she_o or_o else_o we_o must_v die_v eternal_o for_o it_o we_o desire_v some_o reason_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o convince_v we_o of_o this_o duty_n and_o she_o tell_v we_o again_o she_o be_v our_o supreme_a and_o infallible_a mistress_n and_o mother_n and_o judge_n and_o so_o the_o conclusion_n be_v we_o must_v believe_v she_o have_v this_o supreme_a authority_n and_o infallibility_n because_o she_o be_v supreme_a and_o infallible_a which_o we_o can_v yet_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v and_o therefore_o can_v believe_v and_o because_o we_o can_v believe_v it_o we_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v heretic_n and_o in_o a_o state_n of_o damnation_n see_v then_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n recede_v from_o her_o claim_n to_o this_o supremacy_n and_o infallibility_n it_o seem_v plain_a to_o i_o that_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o satisfy_v she_o any_o way_n whatsoever_o but_o by_o yield_v myself_o up_o entire_o to_o she_o without_o any_o far_a dispute_n but_o because_o i_o can_v do_v this_o without_o violence_n to_o my_o conscience_n and_o incur_v that_o very_a damnation_n which_o she_o will_v persuade_v i_o thereby_o to_o prevent_v i_o must_v of_o necessity_n leave_v she_o a_o while_n to_o satisfy_v herself_o about_o the_o truth_n and_o charity_n of_o this_o doctrine_n as_o she_o can_v whilst_o i_o for_o my_o own_o private_a satisfaction_n take_v into_o a_o very_a serious_a consideration_n these_o two_o thing_n i._o whether_o i_o can_v discern_v any_o solid_a ground_n to_o hope_n that_o i_o may_v be_v save_v as_o i_o be_o now_o a_o protestant_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n ii_o what_o more_o hopeful_a way_n to_o salvation_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v i_o put_v into_o shall_v i_o enter_v into_o her_o communion_n if_o the_o result_n of_o this_o double_a enquiry_n shall_v be_v that_o i_o real_o think_v myself_o in_o a_o fair_a way_n to_o salvation_n where_o i_o be_o already_o and_o can_v discern_v any_o more_o hopeful_a way_n to_o it_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o must_v needs_o accout_v myself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o under_o the_o penalty_n of_o damnation_n to_o steer_v my_o course_n according_a to_o the_o best_a light_n i_o shall_v be_v able_a by_o such_o a_o diligent_a and_o impartial_a inquiry_n to_o attain_v unto_o and_o content_v myself_o with_o that_o religion_n which_o seem_v best_a and_o safe_a to_o i_o till_o some_o better_a and_o safe_a can_v be_v find_v sect_n i._o the_o first_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o inquire_v into_o be_v what_o good_a ground_n of_o hope_n i_o can_v discern_v that_o i_o may_v be_v save_v as_o i_o be_o a_o protestant_n and_o here_o the_o first_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o consider_v be_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o the_o name_n of_o protestant_n as_o it_o be_v own_a by_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o as_o i_o can_v hearty_o answer_v to_o it_o by_o a_o protestant_n i_o understand_v no_o other_o but_o a_o christian_a adhere_v firm_o both_o in_o faith_n and_o practice_n to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o protest_v against_o both_o the_o faith_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o all_o other_o whatsoever_o so_o far_o only_o as_o they_o be_v either_o repugnant_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o any_o thing_n or_o ungrounded_a on_o the_o same_o in_o thing_n pretend_v by_o they_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n such_o protestant_n do_v we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v as_o be_v apparent_a unto_o all_o from_o the_o 6_o the_o of_o our_o

be_v not_o to_o be_v require_v of_o any_o man_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v believe_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o be_v think_v requisite_a or_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n this_o be_v our_o very_a first_o principle_n as_o we_o be_v call_v protestant_n and_o such_o a_o one_o i_o do_v hearty_o profess_v myself_o neither_o see_v i_o yet_o the_o least_o cause_n to_o doubt_v of_o my_o salvation_n whilst_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o live_v answerable_o to_o this_o profession_n for_o that_o the_o protestant_a religion_n build_v upon_o this_o principle_n be_v a_o safe_a religion_n be_v i_o think_v altogether_o as_o plain_a as_o that_o christianity_n itself_o pure_a and_o unmixed_a be_v the_o way_n to_o salvation_n because_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o religion_n we_o profess_v hold_v to_o this_o principle_n can_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o pure_a and_o unmixed_a christianity_n be_v that_o and_o no_o other_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v then_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o not_o be_v it_o give_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o be_v of_o our_o faith_n
