agreement_n about_o their_o fundamental_o in_o religion_n i_o say_v if_o the_o papist_n can_v effect_v this_o any_o where_o before_o this_o be_v do_v among_o protestant_n they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o constrain_v the_o weaken_a party_n of_o protestant_n in_o germany_n and_o in_o france_n also_o to_o yield_v unto_o what_o they_o listen_v afterward_o by_o gain_v a_o better_a pretence_n of_o quarrel_n against_o they_o than_o ever_o as_o yet_o they_o have_v have_v and_o have_v master_v the_o great_a body_n of_o germany_n where_o first_o protestancy_n begin_v they_o will_v subdue_v by_o little_a and_o little_a all_o the_o rest_n at_o their_o leisure_n but_o if_o we_o can_v take_v a_o course_n to_o make_v protestant_n divine_v correspond_v one_o with_o another_o to_o settle_v matter_n belong_v to_o their_o fundamental_a agreement_n in_o evangelicall_n truth_n then_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o treat_v with_o they_o any_o way_n at_o a_o free_a council_n if_o it_o can_v be_v call_v and_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v beat_v at_o their_o own_o weapon_n and_o confound_v by_o their_o own_o plot_n now_o then_o see_v this_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o this_o be_v their_o plot_n and_o that_o it_o can_v any_o other_o way_n but_o thus_o be_v disappoint_v see_v also_o you_o know_v that_o this_o be_v so_o not_o only_o by_o this_o slight_a invitation_n but_o by_o your_o own_o observation_n if_o therefore_o now_o you_o shall_v neglect_v the_o opportunity_n which_o god_n do_v put_v into_o your_o hand_n to_o prevent_v so_o great_a a_o danger_n when_o you_o be_v able_a and_o without_o trouble_n easy_o can_v do_v it_o if_o i_o say_v you_o shall_v now_o neglect_v this_o duty_n you_o shall_v not_o be_v guiltless_a but_o have_v much_o to_o answer_v for_o unto_o he_o who_o perhaps_o have_v give_v you_o this_o great_a deliverance_n only_o for_o this_o end_n that_o you_o may_v be_v herein_o steadable_a unto_o his_o afflict_a and_o persecute_v church_n but_o if_o you_o shall_v not_o at_o all_o care_n to_o prevent_v this_o danger_n god_n be_v able_a to_o send_v deliverance_n another_o way_n and_o you_o and_o your_o house_n will_v not_o escape_v the_o judgement_n denounce_v unto_o those_o that_o stand_v not_o up_o for_o the_o lord_n cause_n to_o help_v he_o against_o the_o mighty_a the_o last_o consideration_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o apparent_a work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o time_n who_o evident_o do_v intend_v to_o bring_v forth_o a_o new_a birth_n of_o state_n in_o europe_n for_o what_o else_o can_v become_v of_o those_o sudden_a great_a and_o mighty_a change_n which_o he_o bring_v upon_o these_o nation_n and_o chief_o upon_o the_o aspire_a state_n of_o austria_n now_o in_o these_o great_a change_n of_o state_n to_o think_v that_o the_o outward_a condition_n of_o the_o church_n will_v remain_v the_o same_o be_v to_o deceive_v himself_o against_o the_o experience_n of_o all_o age_n and_o to_o take_v no_o notice_n that_o god_n do_v all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o this_o world_n towards_o state_n only_o for_o to_o prepare_v the_o mean_n of_o advance_v the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o son_n unto_o its_o perfection_n for_o certain_o babylon_n must_v fall_v and_o therefore_o as_o you_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o mind_n to_o consider_v the_o operation_n of_o his_o hand_n you_o must_v needs_o perceive_v that_o the_o church_n also_o be_v travel_v in_o her_o pang_n to_o bring_v forth_o the_o manchild_n who_o shall_v rule_v over_o the_o nation_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v quiet_v now_o than_o if_o you_o will_v neither_o be_v as_o a_o barren_a and_o unfruitful_a member_n of_o the_o church_n to_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o after_o so_o great_a a_o shower_n of_o blessing_n nor_o as_o a_o unmerciful_a midwife_n to_o withdraw_v your_o hand_n from_o help_v the_o church_n in_o her_o pang_n when_o you_o be_v able_a without_o trouble_n to_o yourself_o to_o further_a she_o in_o her_o delivery_n for_o behold_v the_o eye_n of_o all_o other_o church_n and_o chief_o those_o of_o germany_n be_v upon_o you_o and_o require_v help_n at_o your_o hand_n if_o therefore_o i_o say_v you_o will_v neither_o be_v find_v to_o be_v barren_a within_o yourself_o nor_o cruel_o unmerciful_a towards_o your_o sister_n church_n you_o must_v needs_o lay_v these_o endeavour_n serious_o to_o heart_n which_o i_o have_v thus_o free_o as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n propose_v unto_o you_o believe_v it_o i_o be_o free_a from_o humane_a respect_n god_n be_v he_o that_o tri_v the_o heart_n therefore_o i_o take_v he_o to_o witness_v that_o all_o the_o interest_n i_o desire_v to_o have_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o all_o the_o aim_v i_o have_v in_o it_o be_v mere_o the_o discharge_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n first_o towards_o he_o then_o towards_o his_o whole_a church_n and_o last_o towards_o you_o for_o the_o blessing_n of_o your_o present_a deliverance_n whereof_o i_o be_o also_o participant_a although_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o will_v not_o prove_v in_o end_n a_o blessing_n except_o those_o effect_n be_v wrought_v out_o by_o it_o thus_o than_o i_o have_v perform_v on_o my_o part_n what_o at_o this_o time_n i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v in_o this_o duty_n as_o a_o testimony_n of_o my_o thankfulness_n unto_o god_n on_o your_o behalf_n that_o you_o may_v all_o who_o it_o chief_o do_v concern_v be_v provoke_v also_o to_o do_v your_o duty_n towards_o other_o according_a to_o the_o ability_n which_o god_n have_v give_v you_o in_o your_o place_n entreat_v you_o that_o you_o will_v take_v my_o earnestness_n in_o good_a part_n and_o not_o think_v it_o a_o bold_a importunity_n but_o rather_o a_o effectual_a zeal_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o your_o own_o happy_a state_n the_o continuance_n the_o increase_n and_o the_o full_a confirmation_n whereof_o as_o i_o do_v wish_n from_o my_o heart_n so_o i_o shall_v never_o cease_v by_o servant_n prayer_n unto_o almighty_a god_n and_o by_o the_o best_a ability_n which_o his_o grace_n shall_v supply_v unto_o i_o to_o procure_v the_o same_o thus_o i_o take_v my_o leave_n beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o
