to_o give_v the_o venture_n and_o to_o step_v in_o himself_o to_o be_v the_o founder_n of_o a_o new_a church_n and_o state_n among_o they_o and_o for_o that_o purpose_n he_o find_v they_o out_o such_o

and_o this_o course_n seem_v in_o policy_n necessary_a for_o she_o who_o be_v the_o daughter_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_z by_z anne_z boleine_n bear_v with_o the_o contempt_n of_o rome_n the_o

neither_o your_o mother_n nor_o yourself_o shall_v ever_o have_v make_v queen_n elizabeth_n afraid_a with_o your_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n and_o therefore_o although_o it_o be_v

yet_o see_v i_o must_v needs_o preach_v i_o be_v loath_a of_o all_o to_o oppugn_v my_o own_o conscience_n together_o with_o the_o faith_n wherein_o i_o be_v baptize_v and_o the_o soul_n of_o those_o to_o who_o i_o preach_v nevertheless_o have_v get_v this_o ground_n to_o work_v upon_o i_o begin_v to_o comfort_v myself_o with_o hope_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o religion_n establish_v by_o law_n in_o england_n be_v the_o same_o at_o the_o least_o in_o part_n which_o now_o be_v and_o ever_o have_v be_v hold_v in_o the_o catholic_a church_n the_o defect_n whereof_o may_v be_v supply_v whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o move_v your_o majesty_n thereunto_o without_o abrogate_a of_o that_o which_o be_v already_o by_o law_n establish_v which_o i_o still_o pray_v for_o and_o be_o not_o altogether_o out_o of_o hope_n to_o see_v and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n as_o far_o as_o i_o dare_v rather_o by_o charitable_a constru_fw-la ction_n reconcile_v thing_n that_o seem_v different_a that_o so_o our_o soul_n may_v for_o ever_o be_v save_v in_o unity_n then_o by_o malicious_a calumniation_n to_o maintain_v quarrel_n that_o so_o man_n turn_n may_v for_o a_o

perceive_v that_o all_o temperate_a and_o understand_a man_n who_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o the_o schism_n be_v glad_a to_o hear_v the_o truth_n honest_o and_o plain_o preach_v unto_o they_o and_o my_o hope_n be_v by_o patience_n and_o continuance_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o end_n unmask_v hypocrisy_n and_o gain_v credit_n unto_o the_o comfortable_a doctrine_n of_o antiquity_n even_o among_o those_o also_o who_o out_o of_o misinformation_n and_o prejudice_n do_v as_o yet_o most_o dislike_v it_o and_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o your_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n come_v only_o by_o

sin_n have_v suffer_v the_o devil_n the_o author_n of_o dissension_n so_o far_o to_o prevail_v as_o partly_o by_o the_o furious_a practice_n of_o some_o desperate_a catholic_n and_o partly_o by_o the_o fiery_a suggestion_n of_o all_o violent_a puritan_n he_o have_v quite_o divert_v that_o peaceable_a and_o temperate_a course_n which_o be_v hope_v for_o and_o that_o i_o must_v now_o either_o

and_o night_n what_o strife_n betwixt_o my_o judgement_n which_o be_v whole_o for_o the_o peace_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o my_o affection_n which_o be_v whole_o to_o enjoy_v the_o

of_o my_o body_n and_o yet_o i_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o become_v a_o ptofessed_a catholic_a with_o the_o displeasure_n of_o your_o majesty_n and_o of_o all_o my_o honourable_a and_o love_a friend_n

unto_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o ever_o as_o i_o be_v about_o to_o forget_v the_o care_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o settle_v myself_o to_o the_o world_n among_o my_o neighbour_n i_o meet_v with_o such_o humour_n as_o i_o see_v by_o their_o violence_n against_o catholic_n and_o catholic_a religion_n be_v like_a to_o waken_v my_o soul_n by_o torture_n rather_o than_o bring_v it_o a_o sleep_n by_o temper_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_v drive_v to_o recoil_v to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o church_n that_o i_o may_v find_v rest_n unto_o my_o soul_n 11_o and_o yet_o because_o i_o have_v hear_v often_o that_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v contrary_a to_o her_o doctrine_n i_o think_v good_a to_o make_v one_o trial_n more_o before_o i_o
