the_o true_a church_n they_o have_v affront_v our_o saviour_n himself_o in_o his_o own_o person_n the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o of_o that_o religion_n which_o he_o have_v set_v up_o in_o the_o

on_o this_o fierce_a and_o furious_a zeal_n here_o be_v a_o case_n that_o seem_v to_o require_v it_o but_o even_o in_o these_o circumstance_n our_o saviour_n think_v fit_a to_o rebuke_v and_o

wide_a soever_o they_o be_v to_o deter_v man_n from_o this_o temper_n for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o desroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o that_o be_v this_o spirit_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o great_a design_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o end_n of_o our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o now_o what_o have_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o plead_v for_o her_o cruelty_n to_o man_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n which_o the_o disciple_n may_v not_o much_o better_a have_v plead_v for_o themselves_o in_o their_o case_n what_o have_v she_o to_o say_v against_o those_o who_o be_v the_o object_n of_o her_o cruelty_n and_o persecution_n which_o will_v not_o have_v hold_v against_o the_o samaritan_n do_v she_o practise_v these_o severity_n out_o of_o a_o zeal_n for_o truth_n and_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o true_a religion_n why_o upon_o these_o very_a account_n it_o be_v that_o the_o disciple_n will_v have_v call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o have_v destroy_v the_o samaritan_n be_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n persuade_v that_o those_o who_o she_o persecute_v be_v heretic_n and_o schismatic_n and_o that_o no_o punishment_n can_v be_v too_o great_a for_o such_o offender_n so_o the_o disciple_n be_v persuade_v of_o the_o samaritan_n and_o upon_o much_o better_a ground_n only_o the_o disciple_n have_v some_o excuse_n in_o their_o case_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v not_o and_o that_o be_v ignorance_n and_o this_o apology_n our_o saviour_n make_v for_o they_o you_o know_v not_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o they_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o the_o jewish_a religion_n which_o give_v some_o indulgence_n to_o this_o kind_n of_o

but_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n whatever_o the_o case_n of_o particular_a person_n may_v be_v as_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o the_o govern_v part_n of_o it_o this_o ignorance_n be_v wilful_a and_o affect_v and_o therefore_o inexcusable_a for_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o they_o profess_v to_o embrace_v do_v as_o plain_o teach_v the_o contratrary_a as_o it_o do_v any_o other_o matter_n whatsoever_o and_o it_o be_v not_o more_o evident_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n than_o that_o christian_n shall_v not_o kill_v one_o another_o for_o the_o misbelief_n of_o any_o article_n of_o reveal_v religion_n much_o less_o for_o the_o disbelief_n of_o such_o article_n as_o be_v invent_v by_o man_n and_o impose_v as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n you_o have_v hear_v what_o kind_n of_o spirit_n it_o be_v which_o our_o saviour_n here_o reprove_v in_o his_o disciple_n it_o be_v a_o furious_a and_o destructive_a spirit_n contrary_a to_o christian_a charity_n and_o goodness_n but_o yet_o this_o may_v be_v say_v in_o mitigation_n of_o their_o fault_n that_o they_o themselves_o offer_v no_o violence_n to_o their_o enemy_n they_o

from_o falsehood_n and_o treachery_n from_o sedition_n and_o rebellion_n better_o it_o be_v there_o be_v not_o reveal_v religion_n and_o that_o humane_a nature_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o conduct_n of_o

of_o mankind_n in_o short_a such_o a_o religion_n as_o teach_v man_n to_o propagate_v and_o advance_v itself_o by_o mean_n so_o evident_o contrary_a to_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o end_n of_o all_o

such_o principle_n and_o of_o such_o a_o train_n of_o propsition_n to_o be_v a_o most_o gross_a and_o palpable_a absurdity_n for_o example_n we_o will_v at_o present_a admit_v popery_n to_o be_v the_o

can_v be_v think_v of_o to_o be_v as_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o religion_n in_o this_o case_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o debate_v particular_n but_o if_o in_o the_o gross_a and_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o such_o a_o religion_n as_o this_o be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_o than_o infidelity_n and_o no-religion_n this_o be_v

teacher_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o old_a heathen_a philosopher_n in_o all_o who_o book_n and_o write_n there_o be_v not_o one_o principle_n to_o be_v find_v of_o treachery_n or_o rebellion_n

for_o difference_n in_o opinion_n i_o speak_v it_o with_o grief_n and_o shame_n because_o the_o credit_n of_o our_o common_a christianity_n be_v somewhat_o concern_v in_o it_o that_o panaetius_n and_o

discourse_n 1._o let_v not_o religion_n suffer_v for_o those_o fault_n and_o miscarriage_n which_o real_o proceed_v from_o the_o ignorance_n of_o religion_n and_o from_o the_o want_n of_o it_o that_o under_o colour_n and_o pretence_n of_o religion_n very_o bad_a thing_n be_v do_v be_v no_o argument_n that_o religion_n itself_o be_v not_o good_a because_o the_o best_a thing_n be_v liable_a to_o be_v pervert_v and_o abuse_v to_o very_o ill_a purpose_n nay_o the_o corruption_n of_o they_o be_v common_o the_o worst_a as_o they_o say_v the_o rich_a and_o noble_a wine_n make_v the_o sharp_a vinegar_n if_o the_o light_n that_o be_v in_o you_o say_v our_o saviour_n be_v darkness_n how_o great_a be_v that_o darkness_n 2._o let_v we_o beware_v of_o that_o church_n which_o countenance_v this_o unchristian_a spirit_n here_o condemn_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o which_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n and_o warrant_v such_o practice_n as_o be_v consonant_a thereto_o you_o all_o know_v without_o my_o say_n so_o that_o i_o mean_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o which_o be_v teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o these_o that_o heretic_n that_o be_v all_o who_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v extirpate_v by_o fire_n and_o sword_n which_o be_v decree_v in_o the_o three_o and_o four_o lateran_n council_n where_o all_o christian_n be_v strict_o charge_v to_o endeavour_v this_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n sicut_fw-la reputari_fw-la cupiunt_fw-la &_o haberi_fw-la fideles_fw-la as_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v esteem_v and_o account_v christian_n next_o their_o doctrine_n of_o depose_v king_n and_o of_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o obedience_n to_o they_o which_o be_v not_o only_o universal_o believe_v but_o practise_v by_o the_o pope_n and_o roman_a church_n for_o several_a age_n indeed_o this_o doctrine_n have_v not_o be_v at_o all_o time_n alike_o frank_o and_o open_o avow_v but_o it_o be_v undoubted_o they_o and_o have_v frequent_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n though_o they_o have_v not_o think_v it_o so_o convenient_a at_o all_o turn_v to_o make_v profession_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o engine_n which_o be_v to_o be_v screw_v up_o or_o let_v down_o as_o occasion_n serve_v and_o be_v common_o keep_v like_o goliah_n sword_n in_o the_o sanctuary_n but_o yet_o so_o that_o the_o highpriest_n can_v lend_v it_o out_o upon_o a_o extraordinary_a occasion_n and_o for_o practice_n consonant_a to_o these_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o horrid_a and_o bloody_a design_n of_o this_o day_n such_o a_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n as_o have_v be_v hide_v from_o age_n and_o generation_n such_o a_o masterpiece_n of_o villainy_n as_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v nor_o ever_o before_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n so_o prodigious_o barbarous_a both_o in_o the_o substance_n and_o circumstance_n of_o it_o as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v

any_o provocation_n of_o we_o have_v almost_o have_v the_o impudence_n to_o deny_v so_o plain_a a_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o i_o wish_v they_o have_v not_o take_v a_o effectual_a course_n by_o fresh_a conspiracy_n of_o equal_a or_o great_a horror_n to_o confirm_v the_o belief_n of_o it_o with_o a_o witness_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o anticipate_v what_o will_v be_v more_o proper_a for_o another_o day_n but_o confine_v myself_o to_o the_o present_a occasion_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o particular_a narrative_n of_o this_o dark_a conspiracy_n nor_o the_o obscure_a
