to_o know_v what_o their_o religion_n be_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o you_o say_v they_o mistake_v in_o 1._o their_o doctrine_n of_o impute_v righteousness_n and_o the_o covenant_n and_o not_o

unworthy_o injure_v they_o by_o ascribe_v to_o they_o the_o very_a opinion_n and_o word_n of_o the_o antinomian_o who_o they_o have_v better_o confute_v than_o ever_o you_o do_v and_o as_o to_o their_o doctrine_n of_o impute_v righteousness_n even_o bellarmine_n in_o one_o sense_n ow_v it_o and_o whether_o our_o sense_n be_v sound_a i_o provoke_v you_o to_o try_v particular_o by_o your_o

which_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o you_o dare_v or_o can_v confute_v judge_v whether_o your_o mere_a derision_n of_o imputative_a righteousness_n be_v not_o delusory_a if_o you_o dare_v say_v

coelorum_fw-la enjoy_v your_o self-confidence_n while_o you_o can_v but_o if_o you_o say_v in_o this_o as_o we_o then_o make_v public_a confession_n of_o the_o injury_n of_o your_o reproach_n of_o such_o impute_v righteousness_n as_o you_o trust_v your_o salvation_n upon_o yourself_o i_o imagine_v you_o will_v say_v that_o my_o judgement_n be_v no_o certain_a signification_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o puritan_n for_o i_o be_o singular_a and_o therefore_o what_o i_o say_v in_o these_o book_n be_v no_o proof_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o nonconforming_a puritan_n but_o 1._o

tully_n be_v a_o conformist_n 3._o you_o profess_v before_o to_o borrow_v the_o name_n puritan_n from_o the_o prelatist_n and_o i_o have_v this_o to_o say_v for_o my_o authority_n in_o declare_v the_o sense_n of_o puritan_n that_o one_o or_o more_o who_o genius_n be_v of_o kin_n to_o the_o roman_a but_o far_o less_o mild_a than_o you_o who_o be_v prelatical_a or_o superprelatical_a have_v about_o

be_v also_o speak_v ignorant_o and_o untrue_o you_o before_o mistake_v the_o antinomian_a for_o the_o puritan_n and_o here_o you_o seem_v to_o take_v the_o separatist_n for_o the_o puritan_n read_v

man_n as_o you_o fair_o confess_v they_o to_o be_v what_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o papist_n general_o be_v far_o more_o fiery_a against_o they_o than_o against_o those_o who_o you_o speak_v so_o
