see_v the_o truth_n and_o his_o mouth_n to_o renounce_v all_o heresy_n and_o error_n any_o wise_a opposite_a thereunto_o this_o one_o opinion_n of_o merit_n except_v he_o think_v god_n will_v

to_o die_v which_o exclude_v they_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o mercy_n the_o opinion_n of_o merit_n do_v take_v away_o all_o possibitie_n of_o salvation_n from_o they_o what_o if_o they_o hold_v it_o

too_o great_a a_o fear_n rise_v from_o a_o erroneous_a conceit_n that_o god_n will_v require_v a_o worthiness_n in_o they_o which_o they_o be_v grieve_v to_o find_v want_v in_o themselves_o although_o

be_v a_o error_n that_o god_n may_v be_v merciful_a to_o save_v man_n even_o when_o they_o err_v my_o great_a comfort_n be_v my_o error_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o love_n i_o bear_v unto_o this_o error_n i_o will_v never_o wish_v to_o speak_v nor_o to_o live_v 36_o wherefore_o to_o resume_v that_o mother_n sentence_n whereof_o i_o little_a thought_n that_o so_o much_o trouble_n will_v have_v grow_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o save_v thousand_o of_o our_o father_n live_v in_o popish_a superstition_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o sin_v ignorant_o alas_o what_o

be_v save_v i_o have_v show_v which_o way_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v do_v i_o say_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o be_v save_v i_o see_v no_o impiety_n in_o this_o persuasion_n though_o i_o have_v no_o

ignorance_n though_o it_o do_v not_o make_v to_o be_v no_o sin_n yet_o see_v it_o do_v make_v their_o sin_n the_o less_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o make_v our_o hope_n concern_v their_o life_n the_o great_a we_o pity_v the_o most_o and_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n have_v most_o compassion_n over_o they_o that_o sin_n for_o want_n of_o understanding_n as_o much_o be_v confess_v by_o sundry_a other_o almost_o in_o the_o self_n same_o word_n which_o i_o have_v use_v it_o be_v but_o only_o my_o evil_a hap_n that_o the_o same_o sentence_n which_o savour_v verity_n in_o other_o man_n book_n shall_v seem_v to_o bolster_v heresy_n when_o they_o be_v once_o by_o i_o recite_v if_o i_o be_v deceive_v in_o this_o point_n not_o they_o but_o the_o bless_a apostle_n have_v deceive_v i_o what_o i_o say_v of_o other_o the_o same_z he_o say_v of_o himself_o i_o obtain_v mercy_n for_o i_o do_v it_o ignorant_o construe_v his_o word_n and_o you_o can_v misconstrue_v i_o i_o speak_v no_o

fit_a a_o occasion_n as_o be_v offer_v i_o handle_v the_o weighty_a cause_n of_o separation_n between_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o we_o and_o the_o weak_a motive_n which_o be_v common_o bring_v to_o retain_v man_n in_o that_o society_n among_o which_o motive_n the_o example_n of_o our_o father_n decease_v be_v one_o although_o i_o see_v it_o convenient_a to_o utter_v that_o sentence_n which_o i_o do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o man_n may_v there_o by_o understand_v how_o untrue_o we_o be_v say_v to_o condemn_v as_o many_o as_o have_v be_v before_o we_o otherwise_o persuade_v
