burden_n light_n the_o which_o move_v a_o man_n to_o conceive_v great_a hope_n of_o eschew_v evil_a and_o live_a well_o which_o hope_n &_o consequent_o hart_n to_o do_v well_o a_o man_n can_v have_v who_o persuade_v himself_o that_o god_n commandment_n be_v unpossible_a to_o be_v observe_v as_o i_o show_v before_o again_o it_o teach_v that_o as_o a_o man_n may_v by_o grace_n avoid_v sin_n and_o

that_o perseverant_o do_v they_o everlasting_a bliss_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o which_o doctrine_n will_v doubtless_o if_o it_o be_v due_o consider_v breed_v in_o a_o man_n mind_n

life_n and_o that_o though_o there_o be_v mean_n in_o the_o church_n to_o get_v remission_n of_o sin_n &_o pardon_v of_o the_o pain_n yet_o it_o teach_v that_o a_o man_n can_v ordinary_o be_v absolute_o certain_a that_o he_o have_v so_o use_v those_o mean_n as_o that_o he_o have_v thereby_o get_v that_o remission_n or_o pardon_n which_o be_v a_o great_a motive_n to_o make_v man_n wary_a

prescribe_v wholesome_a law_n and_o custom_n of_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o of_o other_o exercise_n of_o virtue_n &_o piety_n whereby_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n to_o god_n it_o maintain_v also_o secret_a confession_n of_o sin_n to_o a_o priest_n as_o be_v a_o thing_n necessary_a and_o command_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o the_o which_o both_o be_v a_o great_a bridle_n to_o hold_v man_n back_o from_o sin_n as_o experience_n teach_v and_o be_v a_o special_a mean_n whereby_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n know_v the_o inward_a conscience_n of_o their_o flock_n may_v better_o apply_v fit_a remedy_n to_o their_o spiritual_a disease_n &_o prescribe_v to_o every_o one_o fit_a exercise_n for_o their_o practice_n and_o progress_n in_o virtue_n final_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o church_n be_v such_o that_o even_o simple_a protestant_n when_o they_o see_v any_o catholic_a do_v a_o thing_n amiss_o will_v ordinary_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o thus_o or_o a_o man_n of_o your_o profession_n shall_v do_v otherwise_o so_o that_o those_o which_o be_v sinful_a in_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v in_o any_o sort_n ascribe_v their_o sin_n to_o any_o defect_n or_o perversity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n but_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o frailty_n or_o malice_n contrary_a to_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o church_n &_o sometime_o even_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o conscience_n &_o actual_a knowledge_n wherefore_o i_o may_v conclude_v that_o although_o there_o be_v some_o sinful_a man_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n yet_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v holy_a because_o the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o believe_v and_o profess_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n incline_v and_o direct_v a_o man_n to_o the_o true_a holiness_n and_o consequent_o be_v of_o itself_o holy_a and_o also_o because_o there_o be_v many_o holy_a person_n in_o it_o some_o of_o which_o be_v certain_o know_v in_o particular_a to_o be_v such_o by_o proof_n of_o miracle_n other_o be_v only_o know_v by_o this_o probable_a reason_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o be_v hold_v by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v certain_o know_v holy_a man_n and_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n since_o none_o be_v true_o holy_a or_o can_v possible_o please_v god_n without_o the_o right_a faith_n which_o be_v but_o one_o they_o have_v in_o they_o a_o root_n out_o of_o which_o true_a holiness_n be_v apt_a to_o spring_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v no_o apparent_a evil_a fruit_n whereby_o we_o may_v discover_v some_o evil_a root_n but_o only_o good_a which_o be_v apt_a to_o spring_v of_o this_o good_a root_n and_o especial_o when_o we_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o good_a work_n to_o be_v conformable_a &_o like_v to_o the_o work_n of_o those_o which_o be_v know_v saint_n we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o judge_v that_o they_o also_o be_v just_a man_n and_o in_o some_o sort_n holy_a if_o not_o perfect_o saint_n sith_o therefore_o many_o man_n which_o have_v be_v and_o be_v member_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v be_v and_o be_v know_v either_o by_o absolute_a proof_n of_o miracle_n or_o at_o least_o in_o this_o other_o manner_n to_o be_v holy_a of_o these_o as_o of_o the_o better_a more_o worthy_a and_o principal_a part_n the_o whole_a may_v be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o term_v holy_a as_o a_o tree_n that_o have_v a_o root_n apt_a to_o give_v life_n to_o the_o branch_n some_o of_o which_o be_v dead_a other_o have_v life_n be_v absolute_o say_v to_o be_v alive_a which_o if_o we_o shall_v see_v to_o have_v a_o corrupt_a root_n and_o can_v not_o perceive_v it_o to_o have_v any_o live_a branch_n we_o shall_v have_v cause_n to_o affirm_v absolute_o that_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o not_o alive_a §._o iii_o that_o the_o roman_a church_n only_o be_v catholic_n three_o i_o find_v that_o the_o protestant_n
