we_o must_v distinguish_v what_o we_o will_v not_o in_o reason_n and_o what_o we_o will_v not_o in_o interest_n if_o i_o be_v a_o malefactor_n in_o interest_n i_o will_v not_o be_v punish_v if_o i_o be_v a_o judge_n in_o reason_n i_o will_v punish_v a_o malefactor_n so_o if_o i_o be_v in_o a_o error_n self-love_n will_v distaste_v to_o i_o a_o desire_n of_o advance_v my_o error_n if_o i_o hold_v the_o truth_n contrary_a to_o that_o error_n conscience_n will_v suggest_v to_o i_o my_o duty_n to_o suppress_v that_o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o a_o truth_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n if_o you_o shall_v real_o think_v we_o be_v deceive_v and_o go_v astray_o we_o will_v have_v you_o by_o all_o mean_n discover_v to_o we_o the_o error_n of_o our_o way_n and_o restrain_v we_o from_o they_o and_o now_o we_o real_o think_v you_o in_o damnable_a error_n we_o will_v convince_v you_o of_o those_o error_n and_o by_o all_o mean_n restrain_v you_o from_o they_o 2._o the_o other_o rule_n be_v of_o prudence_n teach_v to_o bear_v with_o you_o the_o lesser_a inconvenience_n as_o come_v near_o to_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o suppress_v other_o faction_n that_o go_v far_a from_o we_o 1._o of_o two_o inconvenience_n we_o may_v choose_v the_o least_o but_o of_o two_o sin_n we_o may_v choose_v none_o and_o real_o i_o think_v it_o sin_n in_o i_o to_o countenance_v any_o thing_n in_o which_o i_o judge_v against_o god_n truth_n and_o way_n if_o i_o can_v discountenance_v it_o 2._o to_o bear_v with_o you_o be_v to_o bear_v wi●h_v all_o the_o error_n in_o the_o world_n your_o way_n be_v a_o farrage_n of_o all_o the_o explode_a heresy_n among_o christian_n 3._o now_o you_o know_v we_o be_v under_o the_o disgrace_n of_o come_v too_o near_o your_o way_n we_o must_v say_v and_o will_v prove_v it_o that_o

may_v advance_v the_o catholic_a cause_n with_o security_n and_o confidence_n i_o promise_v myself_o that_o no_o ingenious_a protestant_n will_v advance_v this_o toleration_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v
