that_o religion_n be_v the_o safe_a wherein_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o both_o side_n a_o man_n may_v be_v save_v but_o both_o side_n confess_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o

they_o will_v not_o grant_v i_o this_o they_o must_v grant_v it_o safe_a to_o hold_v some_o false_a doctrine_n than_o all_o true_a but_o if_o they_o think_v this_o absurd_a then_o must_v they_o give_v i_o leave_v thus_o to_o argue_v that_o religion_n be_v the_o safe_a wherein_o all_o doctrine_n hold_v or_o teach_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v by_o the_o confession_n of_o both_o side_n

all_o doctrine_n hold_v and_o teach_v in_o the_o popish_a religion_n be_v certain_o true_a therefore_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v the_o safe_a the_o same_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o same_o rule_n and_o precept_n of_o life_n the_o same_o act_n of_o religious_a worship_n the_o same_o holy_a sacrament_n the_o same_o holy_a order_n of_o minister_n which_o we_o have_v the_o very_a same_o have_v they_o also_o but_o they_o have_v many_o thing_n of_o all_o these_o sort_n which_o we_o have_v not_o no_o nor_o any_o other_o christian_n but_o those_o of_o their_o own_o communion_n and_o therefore_o to_o strengthen_v my_o argument_n yet_o more_o i_o say_v if_o that_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v the_o safe_a wherein_o all_o good_a christian_n agree_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o be_v the_o safe_a because_o all_o good_a christian_n do_v agree_v in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o safe_a because_o all_o good_a christian_n do_v not_o agree_v in_o they_o nay_o let_v i_o add_v this_o more_o our_o religion_n be_v either_o safe_a and_o true_a in_o all_o thing_n pretend_v by_o we_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o safe_a and_o true_a christian_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n visible_o profess_v and_o if_o so_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n have_v no_o true_a visible_a church_n upon_o earth_n which_o i_o be_o confident_a no_o papist_n will_v say_v the_o consequence_n be_v plain_a because_o all_o christian_n all_o the_o world_n over_o that_o make_v any_o figure_n of_o a_o church_n hold_v the_o same_o both_o

positive_o and_o affirmative_o hold_v nothing_o in_o faith_n or_o practice_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o what_o be_v hold_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n herself_o and_o all_o other_o

some_o pain_n to_o represent_v the_o papist_n to_o we_o in_o his_o fair_a dress_n have_v labour_v as_o hard_o in_o this_o point_n as_o in_o any_o other_o to_o show_v that_o his_o church_n be_v not_o
