italian_n maintain_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n when_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n 11._o and_o many_o nicodemite_n think_v that_o a_o man_n need_v not_o expose_v himself_o to_o danger_n for_o his_o faith_n but_o may_v keep_v it_o to_o himself_o and_o do_v as_o his_o neighbour_n do_v especial_o where_o they_o have_v no_o other_o society_n to_o join_v with_o they_o think_v it_o better_a to_o join_v with_o the_o popish_a church_n than_o none_o 12._o and_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v but_o few_o among_o the_o multitude_n that_o understand_v indeed_o what_o the_o papist_n hold_v while_o they_o go_v with_o they_o in_o the_o general_a name_n and_o profession_n and_o in_o particular_a about_o transubstantiation_n when_o even_o

receive_v their_o eucharist_n do_v in_o his_o heart_n believe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o bread_n but_o some_o think_v that_o their_o church_n itself_o mean_v otherwise_o and_o some_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o such_o as_o i_o to_o contradict_v they_o and_o dispute_v but_o i_o will_v leave_v every_o one_o to_o think_v as_o he_o will_v and_o so_o will_v i._n 13._o and_o as_o for_o prince_n and_o

2._o the_o popish_a clergy_n be_v rich_a and_o powerful_a and_o exceed_o numerous_a 3._o religion_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o man_n be_v tender_a and_o tenacious_a of_o who_o be_v serious_o of_o any_o 4._o the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o depose_v and_o kill_v excommunicate_a king_n make_v many_o prince_n flatter_v the_o priest_n for_o fear_v of_o lose_v ●heir_a life_n they_o think_v that_o it_o be_v

and_o alas_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o world_n have_v the_o great_a temptation_n and_o not_o the_o weak_a lust_n and_o passion_n and_o have_v more_o of_o worldly_a and_o carnal_a interest_n to_o
