that_o love_v not_o unity_n pretend_v difficulty_n for_o they_o shall_v find_v such_o principle_n lay_v to_o the_o determine_n of_o they_o all_o in_o the_o visible_a law_n of_o that_o one_o church_n which_o can_v continue_v one_o but_o by_o own_v the_o same_o that_o the_o due_a bound_n of_o reformation_n can_v escape_v they_o that_o will_v not_o decline_v the_o thread_n and_o the_o grain_n of_o these_o ground_n and_o yet_o in_o all_o this_o no_o man_n decline_v the_o scripture_n for_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o faith_n but_o he_o that_o refuse_v the_o see_v of_o rome_n for_o judge_n in_o the_o

i_o be_o very_a well_o persuade_v that_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n will_v never_o hear_v of_o any_o term_n of_o reconcilement_n so_o long_o as_o they_o see_v our_o division_n increase_v but_o i_o be_o

such_o sin_n as_o heresy_n to_o violate_v faith_n as_o schism_n to_o violate_v charity_n upon_o other_o term_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v out_o of_o love_n to_o the_o reformation_n that_o i_o insist_v upon_o such_o a_o principle_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o reunite_v we_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v well_o assure_v that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v well_o reunite_v with_o ourselves_o otherwise_o that_o not_o only_o the_o reformation_n but_o the_o common_a christianity_n must_v needs_o be_v lose_v in_o the_o division_n which_o will_v never_o have_v a_o end_n otherwise_o and_o he_o that_o can_v take_v measure_n how_o much_o of_o it_o be_v lose_v in_o thirty_o year_n time_n since_o these_o trouble_n begin_v even_o among_o they_o that_o enclose_v the_o name_n of_o saint_n and_o

ever_o since_o the_o division_n may_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o both_o have_v reason_n enough_o to_o be_v reconcile_v they_o of_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n have_v long_o expect_v a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n or_o thereabouts_o that_o those_o christian_a prince_n that_o have_v look_v upon_o the_o reformation_n as_o dangerous_a to_o the_o peace_n of_o their_o dominion_n shall_v give_v they_o
