they_o ought_v also_o to_o consider_v the_o respect_n they_o owe_v to_o their_o prince_n and_o repay_v his_o kindness_n with_o a_o solid_a sincerity_n by_o this_o mean_v one_o shall_v find_v that_o

that_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v keep_v in_o a_o box_n in_o the_o church_n he_o be_v much_o a_o slave_n to_o custom_n and_o believe_v that_o the_o sacrament_n and_o service_n administer_v

justice_n and_o because_o of_o the_o loud_a and_o continual_a bawl_n of_o the_o emissary_n of_o rome_n he_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v not_o remain_v in_o france_n if_o the_o pope_n shall_v not_o be_v mediator_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o king_n to_o keep_v they_o friend_n without_o think_v that_o st._n peter_n who_o write_v plain_o say_v that_o he_o that_o honour_v the_o king_n sheweth_z his_o fear_n to_o god_n whereby_o he_o declare_v the_o near_a relation_n between_o god_n and_o the_o king_n for_o he_o write_v fear_v god_n and_o honour_n the_o king_n such_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o roman-catholick_n from_o whence_o follow_v such_o practice_n devotion_n and_o custom_n which_o can_v be_v take_v from_o it_o without_o its_o destruction_n and_o one_o feel_v as_o much_o

protestant_n have_v a_o soul_n incline_v quite_o another_o way_n he_o seek_v god_n with_o a_o worship_n of_o spirit_n and_o truth_n he_o believe_v not_o his_o faith_n divine_o establish_v but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o equity_n of_o his_o conscience_n well_o regulate_v but_o only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o seek_v not_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o

easy_o pass_v by_o image_n and_o statue_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o false_a representation_n and_o very_o unprofitable_a to_o solid_a p●et●_n if_o he_o esteem_v the_o right_a of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o decency_n of_o it_o in_o the_o external_a practice_n of_o religion_n he_o despise_v the_o multitude_n of_o proud_a ceremony_n and_o the_o glitter_a of_o so_o many_o affect_a ornament_n he_o believe_v not_o that_o the_o pope_n authority_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o french_a church_n he_o say_v confident_o that_o the_o gallique_n church_n may_v stand_v without_o the_o roman_a and_o that_o she_o can_v never_o render_v herself_o more_o just_a and_o happy_a than_o by_o banish_v strange_a power_n he_o look_v upon_o the_o king_n as_o the_o head_n of_o justice_n which_o be_v principal_o establish_v by_o the_o divine_a law_n that_o sovereign_n who_o be_v according_a to_o god_n own_o heart_n aught_o to_o know_v and_o cause_n to_o be_v observe_v the_o law_n of_o god_n without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o to_o the_o left_a hand_n with_o this_o disposition_n of_o mind_n so_o different_a between_o the_o roman-catholiques_a and_o french_a protestant_n if_o divers_a opinion_n remain_v in_o the_o mind_n only_o without_o break_v forth_o they_o will_v not_o produce_v dreadful_a enmity_n and_o those_o obstacle_n which_o be_v so_o hard_a to_o be_v overcome_v but_o when_o one_o endeavour_n to_o draw_v a_o roman-catholick_n from_o his_o paint_a devotion_n and_o oblige_v a_o protestant_n to_o conform_v to_o they_o they_o suffer_v frightful_a vexation_n if_o
