different_a person_n do_v put_v different_a interpretation_n upon_o the_o scripture_n nay_o since_o the_o same_o person_n do_v interpret_v it_o at_o one_o time_n one_o way_n and_o at_o another_o time_n another_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o principle_n upon_o which_o the_o reformation_n be_v build_v be_v very_o uncertain_a for_o one_o man_n may_v be_v of_o one_o persuasion_n another_o of_o another_o a_o three_o of_o one_o different_a from_o both_o nay_o the_o same_o person_n may_v change_v his_o persuasion_n twice_o or_o thrice_o in_o a_o day_n and_o yet_o continue_v still_o a_o true_a son_n of_o the_o reformation_n esq_n f._n i_o do_v now_o guess_v what_o you_o will_v be_v at_o and_o perceive_v that_o you_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o a_o book_n call_v pax_fw-la vobis_fw-la mr._n g._n that_o be_v a_o notable_a book_n esq_n f._n i_o allow_v it_o to_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o wit_n more_o of_o malice_n but_o nothing_o of_o argument_n mr._n g._n the_o book_n have_v sell_v wonderful_o which_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o it_o have_v argument_n in_o it_o esq_n f._n it_o be_v no_o sign_n among_o we_o of_o the_o reformation_n for_o we_o read_v book_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o be_v please_v with_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v well_o do_v in_o its_o kind_n whether_o with_o argument_n or_o without_o it_o whether_o write_v by_o a_o enemy_n or_o a_o friend_n and_o this_o be_v such_o a_o freedom_n that_o i_o will_v not_o part_v with_o it_o for_o all_o the_o world._n so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v no_o other_o argument_n against_o your_o religion_n this_o to_o i_o will_v seem_v sufficient_a that_o if_o i_o have_v once_o embrace_v it_o and_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o book_n as_o pax_fw-la vobis_fw-la shall_v come_v out_o against_o it_o i_o shall_v not_o dare_v without_o a_o licence_n to_o peep_v into_o it_o but_o shall_v think_v it_o a_o book_n as_o much_o to_o be_v avoid_v as_o chillingworth_n dr._n stillingfleet_n rational_a ground_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n or_o the_o bible_n itself_o mr._n g._n nay_o the_o reformation_n give_v you_o freedom_n enough_o for_o it_o allow_v you_o not_o only_o to_o read_v any_o book_n but_o to_o be_v of_o any_o persuasion_n if_o you_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o scripture_n esq_n f._n you_o have_v express_v in_o short_a the_o whole_a design_n of_o that_o book_n in_o which_o although_o there_o be_v seven_o dialogue_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o more_o say_v in_o all_o of_o they_o to_o prove_v his_o conclusion_n than_o in_o any_o one_o of_o they_o mr._n g._n may_v not_o a_o man_n use_v different_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o same_o thing_n esq_n f._n yes_o he_o may_v but_o this_o author_n have_v not_o do_v it_o for_o to_o prove_v his_o conclusion_n he_o make_v use_v of_o the_o same_o argument_n in_o every_o dialogue_n with_o variety_n of_o reflection_n upon_o several_a person_n and_o thing_n mr._n g._n be_v he_o not_o to_o be_v commend_v for_o it_o esq_n f._n he_o be_v to_o be_v commend_v for_o his_o variety_n of_o reflection_n for_o this_o make_v his_o book_n pleasant_a but_o when_o he_o will_v pretend_v to_o make_v out_o so_o material_a a_o objection_n against_o the_o reformation_n it_o can_v sure_o be_v so_o very_o commendable_a to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o argument_n over_o and_o over_o again_o but_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o allow_a practice_n among_o you_o for_o although_o all_o your_o most_o considerable_a objection_n have_v be_v answer_v a_o hundred_o time_n yet_o be_v we_o daily_o trouble_v with_o they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o be_v hear_v of_o before_o and_o almost_o every_o fortnight_n out_o come_v that_o astonish_a question_n where_o be_v your_o church_n before_o luther_n mr._n g._n if_o he_o make_v use_v but_o of_o one_o argument_n it_o be_v however_o such_o a_o argument_n as_o aught_o to_o persuade_v every_o honest_a man_n to_o forsake_v the_o reformation_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o a_o principle_n that_o give_v a_o man_n leave_v to_o be_v in_o england_n a_o protestant_n in_o germany_n a_o lutheran_n in_o hungary_n a_o socinian_n and_o to_o change_v his_o religion_n as_o often_o as_o he_o please_v esq_n f._n this_o be_v all_o out_o of_o pax_fw-la vobis_fw-la but_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o a_o man_n may_v thus_o change_v his_o religion_n from_o that_o principle_n that_o the_o scripture_n as_o any_o man_n of_o sound_a judgement_n interpret_v they_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n mr._n g._n because_o a_o man_n may_v alter_v his_o judgement_n and_o interpret_v scripture_n otherwise_o than_o he_o do_v and_o since_o he_o may_v lawful_o stick_v to_o that_o interpretation_n which_o he_o himself_o put_v upon_o it_o he_o may_v change_v his_o religion_n as_o often_o as_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o alter_v his_o judgement_n esq_n f._n that_o do_v not_o always_o follow_v for_o a_o man_n may_v perhaps_o think_v fit_a to_o profess_v a_o alteration_n of_o his_o judgement_n without_o any_o just_a reason_n or_o without_o have_v make_v any_o inquiry_n whether_o he_o may_v safe_o do_v it_o or_o no_o and_o if_o he_o do_v so_o the_o alteration_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v change_v his_o religion_n that_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o great_a fault_n mr._n g._n but_o suppose_v he_o do_v find_v reason_n to_o alter_v his_o judgement_n may_v he_o not_o then_o change_v his_o religion_n esq_n f._n yes_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v it_o although_o he_o shall_v change_v truth_n for_o error_n mr._n g._n and_o so_o he_o may_v turn_v from_o one_o thing_n unto_o another_o until_o he_o have_v turn_v as_o often_o as_o there_o be_v point_n in_o the_o compass_n and_o be_v a_o true_a child_n of_o the_o reformation_n all_o the_o while_n esq_n f._n he_o be_v bind_v to_o alter_v his_o persuasion_n as_o oft_o as_o he_o meet_v with_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o convince_v he_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v so_o but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o what_o be_v truth_n and_o what_o a_o man_n believe_v to_o be_v so_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o act_v according_a to_o a_o erroneous_a conscience_n until_o he_o be_v better_a inform_v but_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o his_o conscience_n be_v not_o erroneous_a or_o that_o if_o he_o have_v have_v opportunity_n of_o undeceive_v himself_o he_o be_v not_o in_o a_o very_a dangerours_n condition_n now_o the_o author_n of_o pax_fw-la vobis_fw-la will_v insinuate_v that_o those_o of_o the_o reformation_n do_v believe_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o any_o church_n or_o particular_a person_n judge_v to_o be_v so_o and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o liberty_n allow_v among_o they_o to_o profess_v or_o deny_v any_o tenet_n whatsoever_o mr._n g._n how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o since_o there_o be_v such_o different_a opinion_n among_o they_o 〈◊〉_d some_o of_o they_o have_v so_o often_o change_v their_o mind_n and_o yet_o have_v still_o continue_v true_a member_n of_o the_o reformation_n esq_n f._n the_o reformation_n be_v a_o word_n which_o denote_v all_o those_o whether_o church_n or_o person_n which_o have_v leave_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o some_o of_o those_o which_o have_v leave_v that_o communion_n may_v separate_v from_o it_o by_o degree_n other_o all_o at_o once_o that_o some_o of_o they_o may_v maintain_v some_o of_o that_o church_n error_n and_o other_o may_v maintain_v error_n as_o bad_a as_o any_o which_o she_o hold_v but_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v because_o all_o these_o be_v style_v member_n of_o the_o reformation_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o not_o live_v in_o communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o they_o be_v all_o in_o the_o right_n and_o that_o a_o man_n may_v lawful_o hold_v whatever_o be_v maintain_v by_o any_o of_o they_o mr._n g._n they_o all_o pretend_v to_o soundness_n of_o

for_o a_o man_n may_v think_v his_o judgement_n to_o be_v sound_n when_o it_o real_o be_v not_o and_o although_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o adhere_v to_o that_o interpretation_n which_o for_o want_v of_o
