and_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v inform_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o do_v not_o teach_v and_o preach_v or_o seek_v to_o infect_v other_o and_o by_o experience_n it_o have_v be_v see_v that_o this_o

at_o the_o begin_n with_o this_o entrance_n of_o clemency_n never_o great_o care_v for_o heresy_n afterward_o yet_o do_v i_o give_v notice_n that_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o any_o way_n to_o

offensive_a to_o almighty_a god_n in_o the_o world_n than_o that_o any_o prince_n shall_v permit_v the_o ark_n of_o israel_n and_o dagon_n god_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o stand_v and_o be_v honour_v together_o within_o his_o realm_n or_o country_n but_o that_o which_o i_o talk_v of_o be_v a_o certain_a connivance_n or_o toleration_n of_o magistrate_n only_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n to_o be_v

people_n and_o have_v never_o hear_v perhaps_o the_o ground_n of_o catholic_n religion_n may_v use_v the_o freedom_n of_o their_o conscience_n to_o ask_v learn_v and_o to_o be_v instruct_v for_o the_o

by_o the_o grace_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o by_o charitable_a diligence_n and_o industry_n of_o good_a man_n and_o especial_o of_o diligent_a pastor_n and_o preacher_n that_o many_o good_a effect_n will_v follow_v of_o this_o toleration_n for_o first_o there_o will_v be_v take_v away_o that_o slander_n wherewith_o the_o enemy_n be_v wont_n ordinary_o to_o charge_v the_o catholic_n church_n though_o perverse_o and_o false_o that_o she_o persecute_v before_o she_o instruct_v and_o second_o the_o wound_n will_v be_v open_v and_o cure_v as_o before_o have_v be_v say_v that_o otherwise_o will_v be_v dissemble_v and_o more_o infest_a and_o three_o there_o will_v be_v more_o liberty_n for_o man_n to_o deal_v for_o the_o true_a conversion_n of_o heretic_n and_o they_o with_o more_o confidence_n comfort_n and_o alacrity_n will_v alter_v their_o mind_n and_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o the_o truth_n and_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v the_o gain_n of_o thousand_o of_o soul_n that_o otherwise_o will_v be_v lose_v and_o final_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o prince_n will_v come_v to_o know_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o time_n prescribe_v what_o disposition_n of_o people_n he_o have_v within_o his_o realm_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o do_v and_o these_o be_v my_o reason_n for_o my_o desire_n in_o this_o behalf_n which_o i_o do_v remit_v as_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o here_o
to_o furnish_v all_o place_n with_o particular_a curate_n and_o pastor_n which_o may_v be_v by_o god_n grace_n and_o good_a diligence_n of_o this_o council_n in_o erect_v and_o furnish_v seminary_n within_o the_o space_n of_o some_o five_o or_o six_o year_n that_o be_v before_o this_o council_n shall_v resign_v over_o their_o authority_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a space_n the_o best_a mean_n of_o supply_v the_o common_a spiritual_n need_v of_o england_n will_v be_v perhaps_o that_o no_o priest_n beside_o bishop_n dean_n archdeacon_n and_o the_o like_a that_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o rest_n shall_v have_v any_o particular_a assignation_n or_o interest_n in_o any_o benefice_n but_o only_o a_o sufficient_a pension_n allow_v he_o by_o the_o council_n of_o

before_o and_o according_a to_o each_o man_n talon_n and_o good_a account_n give_v of_o himself_o in_o this_o time_n of_o trial_n to_o place_v they_o in_o benefice_n but_o yet_o with_o this_o

their_o function_n which_o only_a bridle_n may_v chance_v to_o do_v more_o good_a than_o all_o the_o law_n and_o exhortation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o will_v be_v good_a sometime_o to_o put_v

proclamation_n with_o all_o severity_n command_v under_o pain_n of_o great_a punishment_n that_o no_o religious_a or_o ecclesiastical_a person_n whatsoever_o do_v enter_v into_o the_o realm_n without_o present_v himself_o before_o the_o council_n within_o so_o many_o day_n after_o his_o entrance_n and_o there_o to_o show_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o come_v and_o the_o licence_n and_o

with_o all_o rigour_n many_o scandalous_a light_a and_o inconstant_a people_n partly_o upon_o novelty_n and_o partly_o upon_o hope_n to_o gain_v will_v repair_v present_o to_o england_n and_o do_v
