my_o soul_n that_o god_n will_v forgive_v all_o those_o that_o upon_o so_o slender_a and_o small_a ground_n adjudge_v i_o to_o die_v take_v advantage_n of_o such_o simple_a ignorance_n as_o i_o be_v

of_o the_o god_n of_o mercy_n shed_v for_o they_o and_o now_o have_v give_v you_o the_o occasion_n of_o my_o come_n hither_o it_o be_v fit_a i_o shall_v give_v you_o somewhat_o as_o concern_v myself_o as_o i_o be_o a_o christian_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_v baptise_a to_o the_o holy_a church_n so_o i_o be_v baptise_a to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o i_o dare_v say_v for_o purity_n of_o doctrine_n and_o orderly_a discipline_n till_o a_o sad_a reformation_n have_v spoil_v the_o face_n of_o the_o church_n and_o make_v it_o a_o querry_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o church_n or_o no_o i_o say_v it_o be_v more_o pure_o divine_a and_o apostolical_a than_o any_o other_o doctrine_n or_o church_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n whether_o national_a or_o classical_a or_o congregational_a and_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o as_o i_o be_o a_o member_n of_o this_o church_n so_o i_o be_o a_o member_n of_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n and_o shall_v give_v a_o most_o just_a confession_n of_o my_o faith_n both_o negative_o and_o affirmative_o negative_o i_o be_o so_o a_o member_n of_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n that_o i_o abhor_v all_o sect_n schism_n sedition_n and_o tyranny_n in_o religion_n affirmative_o so_o that_o as_o i_o hold_v communion_n with_o so_o i_o love_v and_o honour_v all_o christian_n in_o the_o

though_o to_o this_o faith_n good_a work_n be_v necessary_a not_o meritorious_a in_o we_o but_o only_o make_v meritorious_a by_o christ_n his_o death_n by_o his_o all_o sufficiency_n by_o his_o
