and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o page_n can_v you_o drive_v faith_n like_o a_o nail_n into_o his_o head_n or_o heart_n with_o a_o hammer_n nay_o it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n to_o make_v

truth_n of_o which_o we_o be_v treat_v in_o this_o chapter_n when_o they_o be_v lay_v before_o his_o eye_n then_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o fault_n of_o which_o the_o result_n be_v this_o that_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n have_v pronounce_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o that_o be_v he_o that_o disbelieve_v after_o a_o

off_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o necessitate_v to_o do_v evil_a as_o man_n kill_v vermin_n or_o noxious_a creature_n whereas_o this_o author_n as_o much_o in_o the_o other_o extreme_a dare_v go_v no_o far_a than_o that_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n shall_v punish_v or_o banish_v those_o that_o trouble_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n with_o doctrine_n apparent_o contrary_a to_o the_o clear_a text_n and_o such_o as_o be_v destructive_a to_o christianity_n but_o who_o will_v judge_v what_o be_v clear_a or_o what_o be_v thus_o destructive_a the_o party_n accuse_v or_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o as_o for_o the_o ecclesiastic_a he_o make_v the_o church_n all_o along_o in_o this_o discourse_n a_o party_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o that_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v she_o even_o in_o a_o general_n council_n for_o a_o competent_a judge_n to_o be_v rely_v upon_o by_o both_o party_n no_o not_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n but_o if_o he_o dare_v go_v no_o far_a than_o this_o i_o dare_v not_o go_v so_o far_o i_o be_o very_o far_o from_o think_v as_o he_o do_v that_o it_o be_v any_o part_n of_o s._n paul_n meaning_n in_o this_o place_n i_o wish_v they_o be_v even_o cut_v off_o that_o

be_v in_o his_o power_n i._n e._n he_o want_v not_o authority_n but_o yet_o he_o may_v just_o apprehend_v it_o a_o perilous_a thing_n formal_o to_o cut_v off_o and_o excommunicate_a so_o numerous_a and_o powerful_a a_o faction_n for_o fear_v of_o some_o great_a apostasy_n from_o christianity_n from_o which_o these_o man_n by_o his_o favour_n have_v not_o cut_v off_o themselves_o though_o they_o run_v into_o schism_n or_o heresy_n therefore_o he_o may_v well_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n rather_o to_o be_v wish_v than_o execute_v and_o if_o this_o be_v no_o wish_n of_o st._n paul_n make_v that_o the_o troubler_n of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v punish_v or_o banish_v than_o i_o can_v find_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o go_v along_o with_o this_o author_n in_o make_v it_o my_o wish_n that_o they_o shall_v either_o be_v banish_v or_o more_o severe_o punish_v for_o the_o present_a than_o by_o force_v they_o into_o our_o church_n whence_o they_o have_v indeed_o banish_v themselves_o that_o they_o may_v hear_v our_o defence_n of_o a_o honest_a cause_n and_o if_o it_o wring_v their_o conscience_n to_o come_v thither_o to_o prayer_n i_o can_v choose_v but_o make_v another_o wish_n
