massacre_n as_o be_v in_o france_n of_o thirty_o thousand_o or_o forty_o thousand_o or_o in_o ireland_n of_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o have_v make_v they_o think_v your_o power_n inconsistent_a

you_o must_v do_v or_o be_v singular_a or_o ashamed_a here_o you_o come_v to_o the_o quick_a of_o our_o difference_n 1._o we_o know_v not_o of_o any_o universal_a vicarious_a lawgiver_n under_o

thing_n as_o you_o here_o name_n to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o character_n of_o distinct_a religion_n or_o distinct_a church_n as_o if_o we_o may_v not_o with_o love_n peace_n and_o christian_a communion_n differ_v about_o a_o garment_n a_o holiday_n fast_o or_o vigil_n thus_o far_o then_o you_o seem_v not_o to_o know_v what_o a_o mere_a puritan_n be_v ii_o but_o sir_n i_o have_v much_o more_o than_o all_o these_o little_a thing_n against_o your_o description_n of_o a_o puritan_n i_o plain_o perceive_v in_o your_o great_a praise_n of_o he_o that_o you_o know_v not_o what_o his_o

desire_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n without_o any_o mention_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n above_o all_o and_o of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o a_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a mind_n and_o life_n with_o self-denial_n mortification_n of_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n either_o you_o judge_v of_o a_o puritan_n by_o what_o you_o be_v yourself_o or_o by_o what_o your_o acquaintance_n be_v or_o by_o what_o they_o common_o profess_v to_o be_v their_o religion_n for_o the_o first_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o have_v no_o better_o a_o religion_n because_o you_o have_v no_o better_o for_o the_o second_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v ten_o to_o one_o you_o know_v not_o the_o heart_n of_o your_o acquaintance_n so_o well_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o know_v that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o you_o be_v so_o unhappy_a in_o your_o acquaintance_n what_o be_v that_o to_o other_o man_n three_o therefore_o as_o you_o look_v that_o your_o own_o religion_n shall_v be_v describe_v not_o as_o we_o find_v it_o in_o this_o or_o that_o man_n but_o as_o your_o church_n profess_v it_o so_o do_v we_o and_o i_o have_v

you_o may_v have_v the_o great_a hope_n to_o make_v they_o papist_n ii_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o that_o you_o that_o be_v no_o better_o a_o puritan_n than_o you_o describe_v be_v turn_v papist_n you_o that_o profess_v you_o be_v a_o puritan_n must_v needs_o be_v judge_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o a_o one_o you_o be_v yourself_o when_o you_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o be_v alas_o poor_a man_n

save_v without_o love_n and_o good_a work_n be_v you_o delude_v by_o such_o antinomian_a conceit_n as_o you_o describe_v and_o take_v that_o for_o puritanisme_n how_o else_o do_v you_o quiet_a your_o

leave_v to_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v oft_o write_v what_o wonder_n be_v it_o at_o any_o man_n turn_v papist_n when_o according_a to_o your_o own_o principle_n no_o protestant_n puritan_n or_o

be_v not_o this_o your_o case_n for_o 1._o you_o affirm_v that_o all_o man_n that_o have_v true_a prevalent_a love_n to_o god_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o have_v right_a to_o salvation_n

the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v 2_o thes_n 2._o and_o note_v here_o that_o if_o any_o man_n know_v that_o he_o true_o love_v god_n and_o goodness_n you_o

of_o god_n within_o they_o but_o can_v you_o think_v sir_n in_o good_a earnest_n that_o popery_n tend_v more_o to_o fill_v man_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n than_o our_o simple_a christianity_n
