there_o be_v one_o huge_a advantage_n more_o which_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o matter_n will_v bring_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o indeed_o which_o i_o shall_v chief_o insist_v on_o and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o will_v justify_v our_o whole_a cause_n before_o all_o the_o world_n and_o cut_v off_o all_o just_a occasion_n from_o those_o who_o wrongful_o upbraid_v we_o all_o for_o innovator_n and_o under_o that_o pretence_n trepan_n many_o a_o soul_n where_o say_v they_o be_v your_o religion_n before_o luther_n now_o the_o dissenter_n be_v not_o able_a to_o answer_v this_o question_n true_o thorough_o or_o to_o satisfaction_n because_o a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o religion_n be_v no_o where_n in_o the_o world_n no_o not_o in_o luther_n day_n and_o so_o the_o romanist_n have_v a_o continual_a and_o unanswerable_a objection_n to_o fling_v in_o his_o tooth_n but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v establish_v have_v a_o fair_a and_o full_a plea_n that_o her_o whole_a

lest_o they_o shall_v tell_v tale_n i_o do_v not_o intend_v now_o to_o vindicate_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n in_o this_o respect_n for_o that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o my_o present_a

neither_o we_o tell_v our_o dissent_v brethren_n that_o our_o way_n which_o they_o have_v forsake_v be_v indeed_o the_o old_a path_n we_o affirm_v our_o government_n to_o have_v be_v primitive_a and_o

this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v now_o to_o prove_v in_o some_o measure_n by_o instance_v in_o particular_n that_o man_n who_o desire_v satisfaction_n herein_o may_v see_v that_o the_o frame_n of_o
