i_o be_o very_a well_o persuade_v that_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n will_v never_o hear_v of_o any_o term_n of_o reconcilement_n so_o long_o as_o they_o see_v our_o division_n increase_v but_o i_o be_o

such_o sin_n as_o heresy_n to_o violate_v faith_n as_o schism_n to_o violate_v charity_n upon_o other_o term_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v out_o of_o love_n to_o the_o reformation_n that_o i_o insist_v upon_o such_o a_o principle_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o reunite_v we_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v well_o assure_v that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v well_o reunite_v with_o ourselves_o otherwise_o that_o not_o only_o the_o reformation_n but_o the_o common_a christianity_n must_v needs_o be_v lose_v in_o the_o division_n which_o will_v never_o have_v a_o end_n otherwise_o and_o he_o that_o can_v take_v measure_n how_o much_o of_o it_o be_v lose_v in_o thirty_o year_n time_n since_o these_o trouble_n begin_v even_o among_o they_o that_o enclose_v the_o name_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o godly_a to_o themselves_o will_v easy_o believe_v that_o it_o have_v not_o long_o to_o live_v unless_o division_n be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o yet_o the_o vain_a hope_n of_o the_o party_n ever_o since_o the_o division_n may_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o both_o have_v reason_n enough_o to_o be_v reconcile_v they_o of_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n have_v long_o expect_v a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n or_o thereabouts_o that_o those_o christian_a prince_n that_o have_v look_v upon_o the_o reformation_n as_o dangerous_a to_o the_o peace_n of_o their_o dominion_n shall_v give_v they_o

of_o religion_n as_o well_o to_o themselves_o as_o to_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v so_o reduce_v but_o the_o experience_n of_o so_o much_o time_n evidence_n that_o the_o power_n of_o
christendom_n have_v something_o else_o to_o do_v then_o to_o employ_v the_o force_n of_o their_o dominion_n to_o that_o purpose_n and_o that_o if_o it_o prove_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o some_o of_o they_o at_o some_o time_n it_o will_v prove_v not_o to_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o other_o at_o the_o same_o or_o other_o time_n of_o which_o interest_n as_o they_o be_v indeed_o and_o

they_o whensoever_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n it_o shall_v appear_v that_o they_o own_o the_o heresy_n of_o nestorius_n and_o eutyches_n as_o for_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v never_o

that_o the_o canon_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o force_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o restore_v unity_n in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o

that_o infringe_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n as_o if_o god_n law_n be_v destroy_v by_o any_o act_n of_o it_o further_o there_o be_v two_o point_n in_o the_o title_n and_o

these_o position_n the_o one_o necessary_o depend_v upon_o the_o other_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n from_o the_o beginning_n require_v baptism_n to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o
