leave_v for_o to_o speak_v as_o that_o he_o may_v see_v that_o in_o judgement_n though_o not_o in_o charity_n we_o be_v two_o his_o zeal_n for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n seem_v to_o be_v such_o and_o so_o much_o that_o he_o be_v protest_v before_o hand_n against_o all_o that_o shall_v but_o seem_v to_o suspect_v it_o but_o he_o be_v indign_v he_o in_o especial_a that_o shall_v take_v upon_o

again_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o that_o article_n as_o most_o man_n do_v but_o i_o understand_v they_o as_o they_o can_v be_v true_a and_o as_o they_o can_v very_o fair_o

may_v have_v without_o all_o scruple_n take_v the_o protestation_n the_o covenant_n the_o engagement_n or_o a_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n but_o who_o mean_v he_o by_o those_o most_o man_n certain_o not_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o church_n who_o refuse_v to_o subscribe_v they_o but_o the_o son_n of_o the_o church_n his_o brethren_n who_o have_v subscribe_v they_o as_o well_o as_o he_o the_o adversary_n though_o they_o consent_v for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o the_o doctrine_n yet_o they_o refuse_v to_o subscribe_v the_o article_n mere_o because_o it_o be_v our_o church_n but_o as_o it_o

but_o we_o take_v they_o all_o in_o a_o undoubted_a concession_n for_o we_o also_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o the_o article_n as_o they_o can_v be_v true_a and_o as_o they_o can_v fair_o signify_v and_o that_o be_v even_o in_o their_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n and_o likewise_o as_o they_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o right_a reason_n for_o so_o we_o suppose_v they_o in_o the_o sense_n aforesaid_a and_o although_o we_o confess_v with_o he_o that_o the_o church_n use_v a_o incomparable_a wisdom_n and_o temper_n in_o compose_v her_o article_n both_o with_o respect_n to_o new-reformist_n and_o non-conformist_n too_o notwithstanding_o we_o believe_v her_o prudence_n and_o piety_n be_v such_o that_o she_o intend_v not_o so_o to_o secure_v the_o outward_a peace_n of_o the_o church_n against_o either_o as_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o in_o either_o part_n may_v be_v prejudice_v thereby_o much_o less_o that_o she_o contrive_v any_o thing_n in_o such_o a_o
