that_o by_o exaggeration_n of_o your_o charity_n you_o have_v overthrow_v your_o faith_n and_o charity_n also_o which_o can_v subsist_v without_o true_a catholic_a faith_n 3._o but_o yet_o you_o be_v so_o ingenuous_a that_o you_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o compare_v your_o charity_n in_o convert_n soul_n to_o that_o of_o the_o catholic_n nor_o do_v you_o so_o much_o as_o once_o venture_v to_o insinuate_v that_o the_o protestant_a minister_n leave_v their_o country_n and_o commodity_n and_o the_o house_n of_o rich_a and_o love_a friend_n to_o transport_v themselves_o into_o barbarous_a nation_n with_o the_o sufferance_n of_o all_o cruel_a inconvenience_n and_o very_o many_o time_n of_o death_n itself_o for_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n to_o christ_n our_o lord_n for_o of_o this_o you_o be_v express_o tell_v and_o consequent_o how_o improbable_a it_o be_v that_o catholic_n shall_v sear_v the_o dangerous_a state_n of_o protestant_n through_o mere_a want_n of_o charity_n whereas_o yet_o for_o the_o only_a exercise_n of_o that_o virtue_n they_o be_v content_a with_o so_o much_o courage_n and_o joy_n to_o cast_v away_o their_o life_n &_o that_o therefore_o when_o we_o make_v that_o judgement_n of_o you_o it_o be_v rather_o through_o our_o zeal_n and_o cordial_a desire_n of_o your_o good_a and_o fear_v of_o your_o loss_n then_o for_o want_v of_o
