prodigal_n if_o frugal_a he_o must_v be_v covetous_a if_o prudent_a he_o be_v a_o coward_n if_o magnanimous_a and_o sedate_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o rage_a wave_n he_o be_v pronounce_v rash_a and_o bold_a such_o be_v that_o judgement_n of_o you_o most_o learned_a mr._n prior_n which_o you_o give_v in_o your_o letter_n of_o i_o and_o all_o the_o protestant_n rather_o with_o a_o blind_a

the_o pope_n we_o be_v adjudge_v in_o this_o life_n to_o the_o torment_n of_o hell._n you_o be_v not_o the_o only_a person_n who_o lie_v under_o this_o mistake_n for_o there_o be_v not_o want_v among_o you_o those_o that_o in_o their_o harangue_n to_o the_o people_n in_o affright_v term_n do_v pawn_v their_o own_o salvation_n upon_o it_o that_o all_o the_o protestant_n be_v damn_a by_o virtue_n of_o which_o precipitate_a condemnation_n the_o hatred_n of_o many_o be_v kindle_v against_o we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a matter_n to_o love_v those_o who_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v so_o hate_v of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v already_o destine_v to_o the_o flame_n of_o hell_n and_o in_o regard_n there_o be_v but_o little_a difference_n between_o a_o damn_a person_n and_o the_o

of_o your_o party_n who_o either_o out_o of_o duty_n or_o inclination_n be_v better_o and_o more_o tender_o affect_v towards_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o horror_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o commiseration_n say_v that_o they_o be_v very_o sorry_a that_o man_n of_o such_o excellent_a endowment_n and_o otherwise_o bear_v to_o virtue_n shall_v be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o willing_o throw_v themselves_o headlong_o into_o hell._n for_o these_o reason_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o examine_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o charity_n and_o truth_n this_o judgement_n so_o frequent_o give_v and_o inculcate_v against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o it_o be_v find_v to_o be_v rash_a and_o prohibit_v by_o the_o sentence_n of_o christ_n not_o only_o you_o mr._n prior_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o remit_v somewhat_o of_o your_o rigour_n and_o blush_v at_o what_o you_o have_v so_o unjust_o write_v but_o that_o we_o ourselves_o also_o slight_v and_o contemn_v this_o preposterous_a judgement_n may_v continue_v cheerful_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n say_v to_o our_o prior_n and_o such_o like_a supercilious_a censurer_n as_o he_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o corinthian_n 1_o cor._n 4._o 3._o with_o we_o it_o be_v a_o very_a small_a thing_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v of_o you_o or_o of_o man_n judgement_n it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v condemn_v by_o a_o physician_n than_o a_o judge_n by_o man_n then_o by_o god._n wherefore_o as_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o judge_n in_o his_o own_o cause_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o accuser_n to_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o the_o guilty_a so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o plead_v in_o opposition_n to_o this_o unjust_a judgement_n that_o mr._n prior_n will_v sit_v judge_n in_o his_o own_o proper_a cause_n and_o that_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o various_a affection_n he_o never_o regard_v what_o be_v true_a and_o honest_a but_o what_o be_v profitable_a and_o convenient_a this_o judgement_n certain_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o equity_n and_o pure_a reason_n but_o to_o anger_n and_o hatred_n as_o parent_n be_v wont_a to_o love_v their_o

be_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o because_o he_o oppose_v himself_o against_o the_o corruption_n both_o of_o manner_n and_o doctrine_n which_o abound_v in_o the_o church_n and_o propound_v a_o sort_n
