which_o way_n and_o why_o i_o must_v believe_v it_o if_o from_o christ_n can_v i_o believe_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v power_n from_o christ_n before_o i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o christ_n

that_o god_n be_v our_o governor_n and_o give_v we_o that_o law_n which_o we_o break_v and_o which_o oblige_v we_o to_o punishment_n can_v we_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o not_o believe_v that_o

you_o must_v do_v or_o be_v singular_a or_o ashamed_a here_o you_o come_v to_o the_o quick_a of_o our_o difference_n 1._o we_o know_v not_o of_o any_o universal_a vicarious_a lawgiver_n under_o

communion_n differ_v about_o a_o garment_n a_o holiday_n fast_o or_o vigil_n thus_o far_o then_o you_o seem_v not_o to_o know_v what_o a_o mere_a puritan_n be_v ii_o but_o sir_n i_o have_v much_o

it_o as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o their_o savoy_n petition_n for_o peace_n to_o the_o bishop_n these_o two_o it_o seem_v you_o join_v together_o and_o what_o their_o objective_a religion_n be_v i_o have_v better_o tell_v you_o than_o you_o have_v tell_v your_o relation_n but_o as_o to_o the_o clearness_n of_o their_o judgement_n in_o it_o and_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o practice_n of_o it_o there_o be_v i_o think_v as_o various_a degree_n as_o there_o be_v person_n no_o two_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n just_a of_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o now_o sir_n give_v i_o leave_v patient_o to_o ask_v you_o these_o two_o question_n 1._o why_o will_v you_o by_o temerity_n go_v about_o to_o deceive_v your_o relation_n and_o other_o reader_n by_o talk_v to_o they_o against_o that_o which_o you_o do_v not_o understand_v even_o then_o when_o you_o blame_v other_o as_o deal_v so_o by_o the_o papist_n and_o why_o do_v you_o dishonour_v your_o own_o relation_n so_o as_o to_o make_v so_o bad_a a_o description_n of_o they_o be_v they_o such_o as_o have_v no_o love_n to_o god_n as_o god_n no_o delight_n in_o holiness_n no_o heavenly_a mind_n nothing_o almost_o but_o fear_n and_o its_o effect_n have_v they_o still_o the_o flame_n of_o concupiscence_n and_o greedy_a desire_n of_o money_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n etc._n etc._n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v tell_v the_o world_n so_o of_o they_o if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o be_o sorry_a for_o they_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o profess_a religion_n and_o you_o may_v have_v the_o great_a hope_n to_o make_v they_o papist_n ii_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o that_o you_o that_o be_v no_o better_o a_o puritan_n than_o you_o describe_v be_v turn_v papist_n you_o that_o profess_v you_o be_v a_o puritan_n must_v needs_o be_v judge_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o a_o one_o you_o be_v yourself_o when_o you_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o be_v alas_o poor_a man_n how_o come_v you_o to_o be_v so_o false_a to_o your_o own_o profession_n against_o your_o baptismal_a vow_n as_o to_o keep_v so_o much_o of_o the_o world_n at_o your_o heart_n in_o greedy_a desire_n after_o money_n and_o to_o have_v no_o more_o love_n to_o god_n and_o man_n no_o more_o righteousness_n peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v you_o think_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v save_v without_o love_n and_o good_a work_n be_v you_o delude_v by_o such_o antinomian_a conceit_n as_o you_o describe_v and_o take_v that_o for_o puritanisme_n how_o else_o do_v you_o quiet_a your_o conscience_n in_o such_o a_o state_n of_o hypocrisy_n if_o god_n and_o holiness_n have_v not_o your_o chief_a love_n as_o well_o as_o fear_n you_o be_v but_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v oft_o write_v what_o wonder_n be_v it_o at_o any_o man_n turn_v papist_n when_o according_a to_o your_o own_o principle_n no_o protestant_n puritan_n or_o other_o christian_a turn_v papist_n that_o do_v not_o thereby_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v a_o false-hearted_a hypocrite_n before_o and_o have_v no_o true_a love_n to_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o be_v not_o this_o your_o case_n for_o 1._o you_o affirm_v that_o all_o man_n that_o have_v true_a prevalent_a love_n to_o god_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o have_v right_a to_o salvation_n till_o they_o lose_v it_o 2._o you_o affirm_v that_o none_o of_o we_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n that_o be_v not_o of_o your_o church_n that_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o king_n or_o pope_n of_o rome_n 3._o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o you_o take_v none_o but_o such_o subject_n or_o member_n of_o your_o church_n to_o have_v the_o true_a prevalent_a love_n of_o god_n but_o you_o know_v that_o in_o our_o christian_a covenant_n and_o profession_n we_o all_o take_v god_n for_o our_o god_n the_o infinite_a and_o most_o amiable_a good_a our_o father_n in_o christ_n and_o love_n itself_o and_o that_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n be_v our_o religion_n and_o if_o any_o man_n say_v saint_n paul_n love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v he_o be_v anathema_n maranatha_n and_o he_o that_o love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o 1_o joh._n 2._o 15._o so_o that_o by_o turn_v papist_n you_o confess_v that_o before_o you_o be_v no_o true_a christian_n nor_o have_v any_o true_a love_n to_o god_n and_o godliness_n nor_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o so_o you_o be_v a_o false-hearted_a hypocrite_n for_o as_o a_o christian_a you_o profess_v and_o covenant_v it_o and_o what_o wonder_v then_o if_o god_n forsake_v you_o and_o give_v you_o up_o to_o strong_a delusion_n when_o you_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v 2_o thes_n 2._o and_o note_v here_o that_o if_o any_o man_n know_v that_o he_o true_o love_v god_n and_o goodness_n you_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v none_o of_o those_o that_o you_o persuade_v to_o popery_n for_o you_o persuade_v none_o to_o it_o but_o those_o that_o be_v ungodly_a hypocrite_n have_v no_o true_a love_n of_o god_n within_o they_o but_o can_v you_o think_v sir_n in_o good_a earnest_n that_o popery_n tend_v more_o to_o fill_v man_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n than_o our_o simple_a christianity_n do_v be_v not_o popery_n a_o religion_n of_o bondage_n and_o servitude_n consist_v main_o in_o terror_n and_o its_o superstitious_a effect_n what_o be_v most_o of_o your_o task_n of_o pilgrimage_n penance_n and_o abundance_n such_o but_o the_o effect_n of_o servile_a fear_n the_o best_a of_o religion_n next_o heaven_n shall_v be_v that_o which_o be_v near_a to_o heaven_n and_o do_v you_o think_v you_o can_v love_n god_n better_o in_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n torment_n than_o if_o he_o take_v you_o unto_o christ_n in_o paradise_n can_v you_o love_v god_n better_o in_o this_o life_n if_o he_o torment_v you_o in_o the_o fire_n than_o if_o he_o give_v you_o comfort_n by_o his_o mercy_n you_o say_v that_o the_o puritan_n be_v make_v negligent_a by_o his_o trust_n in_o christ_n to_o adorn_v his_o soul_n with_o piety_n charity_n meekness_n patience_n humility_n and_o other_o christian_a virtue_n partly_o think_v they_o impossible_a to_o be_v attain_v partly_o deem_v there_o be_v no_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o they_o
