prudent_a manner_n of_o deal_v and_o proceed_v as_o well_o with_o catholic_n as_o schismatic_n protestant_n and_o persecutor_n and_o as_o for_o know_v catholic_n which_o have_v be_v constant_a and_o

at_o the_o begin_n with_o this_o entrance_n of_o clemency_n never_o great_o care_v for_o heresy_n afterward_o yet_o do_v i_o give_v notice_n that_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o any_o way_n to_o

offensive_a to_o almighty_a god_n in_o the_o world_n than_o that_o any_o prince_n shall_v permit_v the_o ark_n of_o israel_n and_o dagon_n god_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o stand_v and_o be_v honour_v together_o within_o his_o realm_n or_o country_n but_o that_o which_o i_o talk_v of_o be_v a_o certain_a connivance_n or_o toleration_n of_o magistrate_n only_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n to_o be_v

people_n and_o have_v never_o hear_v perhaps_o the_o ground_n of_o catholic_n religion_n may_v use_v the_o freedom_n of_o their_o conscience_n to_o ask_v learn_v and_o to_o be_v instruct_v for_o the_o

by_o the_o grace_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o by_o charitable_a diligence_n and_o industry_n of_o good_a man_n and_o especial_o of_o diligent_a pastor_n and_o preacher_n that_o many_o good_a effect_n will_v follow_v of_o this_o toleration_n for_o first_o there_o will_v be_v take_v away_o that_o slander_n wherewith_o the_o enemy_n be_v wont_n ordinary_o to_o charge_v the_o catholic_n church_n though_o perverse_o and_o false_o that_o she_o persecute_v before_o she_o instruct_v and_o second_o the_o wound_n will_v be_v open_v and_o cure_v as_o before_o have_v be_v say_v that_o otherwise_o will_v be_v dissemble_v and_o more_o infest_a and_o three_o there_o will_v be_v more_o liberty_n for_o man_n to_o deal_v for_o the_o true_a conversion_n of_o heretic_n and_o they_o with_o more_o confidence_n comfort_n and_o alacrity_n will_v alter_v their_o mind_n and_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o the_o truth_n and_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v the_o gain_n of_o thousand_o of_o soul_n that_o otherwise_o will_v be_v lose_v and_o final_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o prince_n will_v come_v to_o know_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o time_n prescribe_v what_o disposition_n of_o people_n he_o have_v within_o his_o realm_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o do_v and_o these_o be_v my_o reason_n for_o my_o desire_n in_o this_o behalf_n which_o i_o do_v remit_v as_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o here_o
be_v pervert_v by_o dissolution_n of_o life_n and_o heresy_n they_o have_v bring_v she_o into_o more_o misery_n infamy_n and_o confusion_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o few_o year_n than_o all_o
