confession_n and_o it_o may_v be_v to_o give_v some_o due_a time_n for_o confession_n and_o absolution_n after_o such_o notorious_a thing_n it_o be_v of_o late_a that_o they_o have_v rather_o choose_v to_o write_v something_o aforehand_o than_o to_o speak_v much_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o the_o execution_n it_o much_o affect_v some_o credulous_a person_n that_o he_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o

general_n council_n and_o in_o particular_a my_o belief_n be_v that_o true_a faith_n of_o a_o christian_n brief_o contain_v in_o those_o three_o creed_n common_o call_v the_o apostle_n creed_n st._n

the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n whether_o fitz-harys_a be_v of_o part_n enough_o to_o draw_v up_o this_o confession_n himself_o or_o who_o draw_v it_o for_o he_o i_o can_v tell_v sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v draw_v with_o subtlety_n enough_o and_o i_o fear_v with_o more_o subtlety_n than_o sincerity_n the_o design_n i_o perceive_v be_v to_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o dark_a as_o to_o make_v any_o judgement_n whether_o he_o die_v a_o protestant_n or_o a_o papist_n that_o he_o do_v not_o die_v a_o protestant_a dissenter_n be_v evident_a enough_o for_o although_o any_o of_o they_o will_v at_o their_o death_n have_v profess_v their_o hope_n for_o mercy_n through_o the_o alone_a merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o also_o have_v agree_v to_o the_o article_n of_o
