to_o desert_v they_o because_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v he_o in_o religion_n but_o then_o we_o must_v take_v care_n that_o what_o we_o call_v religion_n be_v not_o a_o point_n of_o man_n invention_n that_o it_o be_v some_o article_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o not_o of_o our_o own_o fancy_n some_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o religion_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o our_o own_o make_n thus_o

for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v a_o inviolable_a duty_n to_o your_o prince_n too_o who_o be_v god_n vicegerent_n show_v yourselves_o hearty_a and_o steady_a protestant_n that_o be_v god_n cause_n wherein_o you_o may_v and_o shall_v be_v zealous_a but_o at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v sure_a to_o show_v yourselves_o good_a subject_n and_o good_a christian_n let_v not_o

you_o owe_v your_o neighbour_n even_o those_o who_o be_v most_o opposite_a in_o religion_n to_o yourselves_o this_o be_v to_o act_v by_o a_o primitive_a spirit_n like_o sincere_a servant_n of_o

different_a persuasion_n which_o the_o unbridled_a zeal_n of_o papist_n and_o sectary_n too_o common_o transport_v they_o to_o and_o then_o as_o for_o you_o my_o reverend_a brethren_n who_o be_v
