romanist_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v charitable_a to_o you_o as_o christian_n we_o be_v much_o to_o blame_v but_o see_v how_o you_o mistake_v or_o rather_o indeed_o pervert_v and_o abuse_v this_o our_o charity_n for_o say_v you_o by_o your_o own_o acknowledgement_n there_o may_v be_v salvation_n in_o our_o church_n but_o we_o all_o deny_v there_o can_v be_v salvation_n in_o you_o therefore_o all_o if_o they_o have_v care_n of_o themselves_o will_v have_v recourse_n to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n where_o both_o side_n yield_v there_o may_v be_v salvation_n then_o in_o that_o where_o on_o side_n deny_v it_o this_o be_v something_o if_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n depend_v upon_o opinion_n but_o i_o suppose_v that_o charitable_a opinion_n of_o we_o in_o hope_v you_o may_v be_v save_v make_v you_o never_o a_o whit_n the_o near_a heaven_n but_o our_o self_n &_o that_o rough_a censure_n of_o you_o in_o set_v we_o all_o out_o for_o damnation_n make_v we_o no_o whit_n the_o near_a hell_n but_o yourselves_o and_o i_o have_v rather_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n which_o hold_v there_o may_v be_v salvation_n in_o both_o then_o of_o that_o which_o hold_v there_o can_v be_v salvation_n but_o in_o one_o for_o hold_v with_o the_o first_o i_o be_o safe_a wheresoever_o i_o be_o but_o hold_v with_o the_o latter_a i_o must_v be_v in_o danger_n wheresoever_o i_o be_o i_o say_v wheresoever_o i_o be_o for_o i_o be_o not_o only_a in_o danger_n of_o my_o salvation_n if_o i_o be_v in_o that_o church_n wherein_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o also_o if_o i_o be_v in_o that_o church_n out_o of_o which_o i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v no_o salvation_n because_o i_o confine_v salvation_n to_o one_o of_o these_o which_o though_o i_o think_v it_o be_v in_o this_o alone_a yet_o it_o may_v be_v in_o the_o other_o alone_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o satisfy_v that_o great_a argument_n of_o our_o adversary_n wherein_o they_o so_o much_o glory_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o moderate_v their_o severity_n against_o we_o many_o other_o motive_n unto_o charity_n may_v be_v show_v but_o these_o brief_o shall_v suffice_v the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o be_v chrian_n and_o therefore_o brethren_n and_o so_o ought_v to_o love_v as_o brethren_n another_o be_v in_o that_o i_o hope_v our_o intention_n be_v good_a and_o that_o none_o maintain_v a_o false_a opinion_n perverse_o against_o his_o conscience_n now_o let_v i_o say_v unto_o all_o christian_n as_o s._n paul_n
