religion_n different_a from_o that_o of_o other_o catholic_n christian_n but_o be_v faithful_a adherer_n to_o the_o old_a acknowledge_v christianity_n as_o it_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o church_n of_o

i_o have_v tell_v you_o they_o grow_v up_o among_o the_o sect_n they_o be_v bear_v and_o breed_v in_o that_o age_n which_o they_o can_v not_o help_v but_o as_o they_o order_v the_o matter_n it_o be_v no_o hurt_n to_o the_o church_n or_o they_o that_o they_o be_v educate_v in_o bad_a time_n they_o have_v the_o occasion_n thence_o of_o understand_v the_o genius_n humour_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o party_n which_o those_o that_o stand_v always_o at_o distance_n from_o they_o can_v not_o so_o thorough_o and_o inward_o know_v by_o that_o mean_n they_o have_v great_a advantage_n for_o provide_v and_o apply_v the_o remedy_n and_o confutation_n that_o be_v proper_a and_o effectual_a and_o by_o daily_a converse_n and_o near_a observation_n they_o settle_v in_o their_o mind_n a_o dislike_n of_o those_o way_n that_o be_v great_a and_o just_a than_o the_o antipathy_n of_o some_o other_o who_o see_v only_o their_o outside_n that_o in_o many_o thing_n be_v specious_a and_o plausible_a they_o study_v in_o the_o place_n where_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o sect_n govern_v and_o those_o that_o be_v ripe_a for_o the_o service_n preach_v public_o as_o other_o academical_a divine_n do_v this_o they_o scruple_v not_o because_o they_o be_v young_a and_o have_v be_v under_o no_o explicit_a engagement_n to_o those_o law_n that_o be_v then_o unhappy_o overrule_v but_o in_o those_o and_o in_o their_o other_o vniversity-exercise_n they_o much_o serve_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o bensalem_n by_o undermine_v the_o ataxites_n so_o the_o sectary_n be_v here_o call_v and_o propagate_a the_o antifanatical_a doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v entertain_v and_o improve_v so_o that_o i_o can_v look_v upon_o that_o spirit_n otherwise_o than_o as_o a_o

we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o take_v any_o thing_n for_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n till_o we_o see_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n say_v it_o and_o in_o the_o sense_n wherein_o we_o receive_v such_o a_o doctrine_n that_o to_o decry_v and_o disgrace_v reason_n be_v to_o strike_v up_o religion_n by_o the_o root_n and_o to_o prepare_v the_o world_n for_o atheism_n according_a to_o such_o

of_o man_n from_o that_o confusedness_n in_o those_o matter_n which_o blind_a zeal_n have_v bring_v upon_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o call_v vain_a sophistry_n by_o the_o name_n of_o
