find_v if_o with_o a_o single_a eye_n and_o without_o partiality_n we_o inquire_v thereinto_o that_o as_o in_o the_o former_a time_n so_o in_o all_o succeed_a age_n &_o time_n even_o to_o this_o of_o we_o there_o be_v a_o church_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o although_o the_o professor_n thereof_o can_v not_o possess_v whole_a nation_n or_o country_n or_o city_n wherein_o they_o may_v free_o &_o open_o profess_v their_o faith_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a height_n &_o tyranny_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o not_o only_o obscure_v they_o but_o do_v also_o cruel_o persecute_v they_o yet_o be_v there_o few_o nation_n few_o country_n few_o city_n wherein_o there_o be_v not_o some_o from_o time_n to_o time_n yea_o and_o that_o also_o in_o the_o very_a bosom_n and_o midst_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o do_v learned_o and_o zealous_o and_o with_o the_o loss_n many_o time_n of_o their_o life_n profess_v the_o same_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v here_o call_v upon_o we_o to_o make_v a_o particular_a and_o precise_a beadroll_n or_o catalogue_n of_o their_o name_n and_o ask_v we_o who_o they_o be_v that_o so_o have_v do_v i_o answer_v that_o beside_o all_o those_o which_o live_v in_o former_a age_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n who_o either_o can_v not_o by_o reason_n they_o be_v unlearned_a be_v know_v public_o &_o to_o the_o world_n but_o only_o to_o god_n and_o to_o their_o own_o conscience_n to_o be_v professor_n of_o our_o religion_n or_o if_o they_o be_v learn_v do_v yet_o commit_v nothing_o to_o writing_n whereby_o the_o same_o may_v be_v know_v of_o they_o i_o say_v beside_o all_o those_o who_o number_n no_o doubt_n be_v infinite_a great_a be_v the_o number_n of_o those_o godly_a and_o learned_a man_n of_o those_o faithful_a witness_n which_o from_o time_n to_o time_n both_o by_o writing_n by_o preach_v and_o by_o die_v have_v show_v to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o popery_n that_o they_o wish_v a_o reformation_n and_o that_o they_o be_v of_o our_o church_n and_o profess_v our_o religion_n the_o name_n of_o which_o man_n with_o the_o time_n in_o which_o they_o live_v together_o with_o those_o passage_n and_o part_n of_o their_o book_n and_o writing_n in_o which_o they_o witness_v that_o which_o i_o have_v affirm_v of_o they_o be_v collect_v together_o and_o set_v down_o by_o many_o learned_a man_n of_o our_o part_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v spare_v myself_o the_o labour_n of_o name_v they_o unto_o you_o at_o this_o time_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v further_o except_v and_o say_v they_o be_v but_o few_o that_o be_v name_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o rest_n &_o that_o their_o number_n be_v small_a let_v such_o a_o one_o know_v that_o the_o number_n be_v not_o small_a and_o if_o it_o be_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o so_o few_o be_v name_v it_o be_v rather_o a_o marvel_n that_o so_o many_o be_v name_v see_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v in_o all_o age_n &_o time_n so_o earnest_o labour_v to_o blot_v out_o and_o to_o deface_v the_o memory_n of_o all_o both_o man_n and_o matter_n which_o may_v speak_v for_o we_o or_o bear_v witness_n unto_o us._n for_o if_o at_o this_o day_n our_o adversary_n wipe_v our_o very_a name_n out_o of_o book_n and_o command_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v name_v we_o but_o in_o contempt_n we_o may_v well_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o their_o ancestor_n have_v do_v the_o like_a in_o former_a age_n to_o the_o man_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o so_o few_o be_v mention_v and_o name_v in_o ancient_a story_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n with_o we_o deface_v our_o name_n belie_v our_o opinion_n bury_v our_o memory_n corrupt_v our_o book_n suppress_v the_o truth_n of_o thing_n purge_v and_o raze_v all_o manner_n of_o evidence_n by_o that_o devilish_a device_n of_o their_o indices_fw-la expurgatorij_fw-la their_o purge_a table_n make_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n our_o ancestor_n be_v use_v and_o this_o be_v a_o principal_a reason_n why_o we_o yield_v not_o so_o perfect_a a_o catalogue_n as_o else_o we_o may_v do_v 2._o proposition_n my_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o deliver_v be_v this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o all_o die_v papist_n which_o in_o their_o life_n time_n and_o in_o outward_a profession_n be_v papist_n for_o see_v it_o please_v god_n sometime_o even_o at_o the_o eleven_o hour_n to_o call_v man_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o and_o to_o repentance_n and_o see_v god_n mercy_n be_v not_o bound_v or_o confine_v to_o any_o time_n but_o that_o as_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n so_o also_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n at_o what_o time_n it_o please_v he_o to_o show_v mercy_n who_o can_v tell_v but_o that_o many_o of_o our_o ancestor_n and_o forefather_n be_v touch_v in_o conscience_n and_o renounce_v themselves_o and_o all_o humane_a satisfaction_n have_v at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o dissolution_n &_o the_o approach_n of_o death_n change_v their_o mind_n and_o so_o in_o that_o faith_n and_o religion_n which_o we_o profess_v yield_v up_o their_o soul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n a_o thing_n the_o more_o probable_a and_o like_a to_o be_v true_a because_o in_o these_o our_o day_n many_o papist_n have_v be_v by_o most_o certain_a and_o true_a experience_n observe_v to_o have_v do_v and_o to_o do_v the_o like_a who_o in_o articulo_fw-la mortis_fw-la be_v at_o the_o brink_n and_o point_n of_o death_n have_v be_v content_a not_o only_o to_o suspect_v and_o fear_v but_o to_o renounce_v their_o own_o merit_n and_o their_o own_o work_n to_o disclaim_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o humane_a satisfaction_n and_o to_o cleave_v only_o and_o alone_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o their_o salvation_n and_o so_o though_o they_o live_v papist_n have_v die_v protestant_n and_o no_o marvel_n though_o many_o papist_n have_v so_o do_v and_o do_v so_o daily_o for_o alas_o what_o comfort_n or_o consolation_n can_v a_o wound_a conscience_n and_o a_o soul_n lade_v with_o sin_n now_o ready_a to_o depart_v the_o world_n and_o to_o appear_v before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n in_o who_o presence_n the_o cherubin_n be_v pollute_v the_o angel_n be_v unholy_a and_o the_o heaven_n be_v
