A44852	The Puritan convert, not to prelatick Protestantism and yet to prelatick Protestantism, nor to popery and yet to popery, but absolutely and without reserve to apostolical Christianity ..., or, A discourse by way of a letter shewing that prelatick Protestants, if they will be true to their practises and principles, have all reason to turn papists in all things as to what papists indeed hold, but in nothing as to what papists are vulgarly believed to hold ... / by W.

of_o their_o saviour_n jesus_n can_v forbear_v in_o some_o devout_a fit_n especial_o those_o of_o the_o tender_a sex_n from_o kiss_v the_o picture_n of_o their_o same_o dear_a lord_n but_o here_o be_v

so_o bold_a to_o commit_v the_o sin_n before_o he_o get_v leave_v to_o commit_v it_o it_o be_v but_o give_v so_o much_o money_n and_o the_o same_o holy_a indulgent_a father_n can_v so_o perfect_o pardon_v your_o sin_n as_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o least_o danger_n of_o any_o punishment_n for_o it_o temporal_a or_o eternal_a in_o purgatary_a or_o in_o hell_n and_o all_o this_o though_o you_o have_v no_o purpose_n at_o all_o to_o forsake_v your_o sin_n and_o this_o his_o holy_a father_n can_v do_v by_o a_o plenitude_n of_o power_n which_o he_o have_v of_o dispose_v and_o apply_v to_o who_o he_o please_v penitent_a or_o not_o penitent_a the_o superabundant_a merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o his_o million_o of_o saint_n of_o all_o who_o

for_o this_o papist_n believe_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v free_v what_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n he_o please_v pay_v their_o debt_n for_o which_o they_o be_v there_o in_o prison_n out_o of_o

friend_n give_v a_o large_a alm_n to_o his_o holiness_n moreover_o the_o papist_n honour_n the_o virgin_n mary_n much_o more_o than_o he_o do_v her_o divine_a son_n or_o god_n the_o father_n and_o therefore_o for_o one_o prayer_n he_o make_v to_o god_n he_o say_v ten_o to_o the_o holy_a virgin_n but_o alas_o what_o be_v his_o prayer_n a_o company_n of_o latin_a word_n he_o neither_o
