down_o to_o i_o a_o false_a sense_n of_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o i_o must_v by_o no_o mean_n question_n but_o that_o now_o at_o last_o a_o english_a parliament_n have_v hit_v upon_o the_o right_n you_o may_v as_o rational_o oblige_v a_o man_n his_o eye_n be_v wide_o open_a not_o to_o see_v at_o midday_n but_o i_o must_v believe_v or_o away_o to_o prison_n and_o undergo_v the_o severe_a penalty_n of_o the_o law_n this_o go_v hard_a i_o will_v fain_o conform_v if_o it_o stand_v with_o my_o conscience_n let_v we_o therefore_o try_v for_o once_o whether_o i_o can_v in_o prudence_n and_o christian_a sincerity_n secure_v my_o soul_n by_o a_o conformity_n to_o so_o advantageous_a a_o judgement_n i_o find_v therefore_o in_o henry_n viii_n time_n a_o english_a parliament_n cry_v down_o the_o pope_n and_o place_v his_o majesty_n of_o england_n in_o his_o room_n and_o yet_o i_o see_v the_o same_o man_n persecute_v as_o heretic_n those_o who_o in_o other_o point_v join_v with_o the_o transmarin_n innovator_n in_o edward_n vi's_fw-la day_n i_o find_v the_o same_o man_n declare_v that_o doctrine_n to_o be_v most_o damnable_a heresy_n which_o themselves_o have_v all_o along_o during_o the_o reign_n of_o henry_n viii_o profess_a as_o catholic_n queen_n mary_n be_v seat_v on_o the_o throne_n i_o find_v they_o recant_v and_o condemn_v themselves_o and_o censure_v all_o the_o point_n of_o protestancy_n as_o wicked_a and_o heretical_a and_o within_o six_o year_n after_o i_o see_v they_o again_o pass_v the_o same_o censure_n on_o the_o roman_n catholic_n doctrine_n to_o which_o they_o have_v so_o late_o and_o solemn_o be_v reconcile_v now_o give_v i_o leave_v christian_n reader_n to_o ask_v you_o can_v i_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n leave_v a_o church_n who_o general_a council_n lawful_o assemble_v and_o approve_v by_o which_o i_o govern_v myself_o have_v not_o in_o 1600_o year_n produce_v as_o i_o can_v find_v any_o one_o contradiction_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n to_o depend_v upon_o parliamentary_a creed_n four_o time_n whole_o invert_v in_o sixteen_o year_n can_v i_o in_o prudence_n and_o conscience_n renounce_v the_o former_a to_o embrace_v the_o latter_a give_v i_o but_o one_o pregnant_a reason_n for_o this_o and_o i_o engage_v to_o become_v your_o proselyte_n if_o you_o tell_v i_o one_o parliament_n be_v guide_v by_o passion_n another_o by_o interest_n but_o that_o it_o be_v queen_n elizabeth_n parliament_n which_o consist_v of_o man_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o this_o again_o a_o manifest_a beg_n of_o the_o question_n where_o do_v the_o bible_n for_o at_o present_a as_o a_o good_a protestant_n i_o admit_v of_o no_o other_o rule_n where_o i_o say_v do_v the_o bible_n tell_v i_o that_o the_o parliament_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n shall_v be_v guide_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o not_o that_o of_o king_n henry_n viii_o etc._n etc._n if_o you_o shall_v return_v to_o your_o old_a evasion_n that_o you_o be_v sure_a on_o it_o because_o you_o find_v that_o parliament_n agree_v with_o your_o own_o judgement_n those_o who_o live_v in_o king_n henry_n day_n will_v on_o the_o same_o ground_n of_o pure_a scripture_n tell_v i_o quite_o another_o story_n how_o then_o can_v i_o be_v satisfy_v which_o of_o your_o judgement_n be_v true_a you_o will_v answer_v i_o i_o must_v judge_v for_o myself_o what_o therefore_o if_o according_a to_o my_o sense_n of_o holy_a scripture_n i_o judge_v in_o my_o conscience_n as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o almighty_a god_n i_o true_o do_v that_o king_n henry_n viii_n parliament_n be_v schismatical_a queen_n elizabeth_n heretical_a and_o this_o as_o indeed_o it_o fall_v out_o after_o a_o serious_a long_a calm_a disinteressed_a examen_fw-la be_o i_o still_o a_o true_a protestant_n you_o must_v grant_v i_o to_o be_v one_o because_o i_o follow_v the_o protestant_a rule_n which_o be_v as_o you_o say_v holy_a scripture_n as_o every_o one_o after_o the_o use_n of_o due_a mean_n do_v in_o his_o own_o proper_a judgement_n understand_v it_o what_o can_v be_v more_o ridiculous_a than_o this_o i_o be_o a_o true_a protestant_n at_o least_o in_o my_o principle_n though_o by_o those_o very_a principle_n i_o judge_v the_o protestant_a church_n to_o be_v schismatical_a and_o heretical_a the_o great_a extent_n of_o protestant_a charity_n
