applicat_fw-la 1._o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o will_v observe_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o false_a from_o that_o which_o have_v be_v speak_v there_o be_v many_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o fare_v with_o diversity_n of_o religion_n as_o with_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n there_o be_v a_o possibility_n that_o they_o may_v be_v all_o false_a but_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o true_a there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a religion_n but_o there_o be_v many_o false_a the_o false_a religion_n seem_v to_o differ_v exceed_o among_o themselves_o in_o very_a many_o thing_n even_o in_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n and_o in_o the_o matter_n and_o manner_n yet_o be_v they_o never_o so_o different_a there_o be_v one_o common_a foundation_n wherein_o they_o do_v all_o agree_v and_o wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o the_o true_a the_o true_a religion_n propound_v unto_o we_o a_o god_n in_o chief_a reconcile_v pacify_v please_v a_o justice_n already_o satisfy_v a_o propitiation_n make_v sin_n take_v away_o and_o we_o have_v not_o one_o jote_n not_o one_o apex_n in_o all_o the_o new_a covenant_n to_o be_v find_v of_o reconcile_a god_n to_o we_o but_o of_o our_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n the_o new_a covenant_n manife_v unto_o we_o a_o god_n already_o reconcile_v to_o we_o and_o the_o whole_a ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n propound_v our_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n now_o this_o be_v the_o common_a character_n of_o all_o false_a religion_n of_o what_o sort_n soever_o jew_n turk_n papist_n pharisaical_a protestant_n heathen_a all_o propound_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o a_o angry_a god_n a_o deity_n not_o reconcile_v and_o then_o prescribe_v certain_a mean_n and_o
