more_o prejudices_fw-la on_o the_o church_n than_o the_o nonconformist_n can_v do_v there_o be_v therefore_o great_a reason_n for_o all_o this_o caution_n that_o man_n may_v not_o mock_v god_n nor_o

which_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v true_a and_o good_a according_a to_o its_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o goodness_n as_o if_o church-confession_n that_o be_v sound_a be_v offer_v for_o our_o consent_n we_o may_v say_v or_o subscribe_v i_o hold_v all_o the_o doctrine_n in_o this_o book_n to_o be_v true_a and_o good_a and_o this_o he_o can_v deny_v of_o the_o thing_n prescribe_v to_o be_v use_v by_o

the_o cure_n of_o church_n division_n which_o be_v all_o write_v long_o since_o the_o prognostication_n this_o extraordinary_a diligence_n about_o so_o inconsiderable_a a_o circumstance_n make_v i_o

have_v impart_v my_o second_o thought_n to_o the_o reader_n he_o will_v be_v much_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o i_o for_o first_o i_o consider_v that_o there_o need_v no_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n to_o foretell_v what_o effect_n nonconformity_n have_v produce_v many_o year_n before_o 1661._o when_o he_o pretend_v this_o prognostication_n be_v write_v nor_o yet_o to_o foretell_v what_o the_o

than_o 1661._o and_o so_o some_o word_n and_o phrase_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o new_a imposition_n subscription_n and_o oath_n and_o serve_v the_o bishop_n in_o jail_n but_o i_o lay_v no_o stress_n on_o
