profession_n and_o outward_o but_o inward_o too_o convert_v to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n for_o upon_o this_o conversion_n their_o former_a hatred_n and_o enmity_n to_o other_o be_v lay_v aside_o

pretend_v she_o be_v the_o only_a true_a and_o catholic_n church_n because_o they_o be_v unite_v among_o themselves_o but_o to_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o boast_n 1._o at_o this_o rate_n every_o particular_a church_n must_v be_v the_o catholic_n church_n because_o the_o member_n of_o every_o particular_a church_n be_v unite_v among_o themselves_o so_o in_o the_o church_n of_o

that_o have_v be_v more_o guilty_a of_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o christendom_n than_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o because_o several_a church_n will_v not_o satisfy_v or_o gratify_v her_o ambition_n will_v not_o put_v their_o neck_n under_o her_o yoke_n nor_o believe_v the_o false_a and_o idle_v thing_n in_o the_o world_n her_o supremacy_n and_o infallibility_n she_o have_v bold_o separate_v herself_o from_o their_o communion_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o she_o separate_v from_o the_o eastern_a church_n and_o by_o this_o insolence_n she_o have_v force_v the_o protestant_a

separation_n from_o she_o or_o break_v peace_n and_o communion_n with_o she_o be_v 1._o because_o she_o will_v impose_v that_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n never_o impose_v 2._o because_o she_o have_v turn_v the_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n into_o carnal_a and_o mechanical_a devotion_n and_o introduce_v innumerable_a superstition_n which_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o will_v have_v they_o believe_v as_o firm_o as_o the_o gospel_n itself_o 3._o because_o she_o have_v bring_v in_o a_o worship_n which_o with_o all_o the_o favourable_a interpretation_n imaginable_a can_v be_v excuse_v from_o idolatry_n even_o the_o worship_n of_o dead_a man_n and_o woman_n of_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n of_o image_n and_o picture_n and_o relic_n etc._n etc._n contrary_a to_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n 4._o because_o though_o she_o have_v be_v often_o entreat_v admonish_v and_o exhort_v to_o reform_v these_o abuse_n for_o some_o hundred_o year_n together_o yet_o she_o be_v obstinate_a and_o instead_o of_o reform_v have_v harden_v herself_o in_o they_o and_o think_v to_o hectour_n man_n by_o her_o power_n and_o authority_n into_o a_o belief_n of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v defend_v with_o solid_a argument_n 5._o because_o reject_v the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v the_o sole_a rule_n of_o faith_n she_o have_v make_v her_o pretend_a head_n and_o such_o council_n as_o he_o shall_v call_v or_o approve_v of_o the_o sole_a dictatour_n and_o expositor_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n require_v blind_a obedience_n to_o their_o decision_n contrary_a not_o only_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o true_a antiquity_n so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o peace_n i_o mean_v no_o peace_n of_o communion_n with_o rome_n for_o though_o we_o be_v command_v to_o live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o man_n yet_o we_o be_v withal_o to_o have_v a_o due_a regard_n to_o truth_n eph._n iu._n 15._o nor_o must_v peace_n be_v buy_v at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n as_o to_o comply_v with_o man_n in_o their_o sin_n and_o error_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o peace_n and_o holiness_n be_v join_v together_o in_o that_o know_a exhortation_n of_o the_o apostle_n follow_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n and_o holiness_n without_o which_o no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n heb._n xii_o 14._o indeed_o a_o external_a peace_n we_o be_v to_o maintain_v with_o all_o mankind_n but_o this_o differ_v much_o from_o peace_n of_o communion_n in_o divine_a worship_n and_o sacrament_n the_o division_n among_o protestant_a church_n be_v to_o be_v deplore_v so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o the_o point_n they_o differ_v in_o be_v inconsiderable_a and_o may_v easy_o be_v compose_v if_o man_n have_v but_o peaceable_a temper_n and_o be_v resolve_v to_o lay_v aside_o interest_n and_o carnal_a respect_n and_o punctilio_n of_o honour_n and_o credit_n etc._n etc._n for_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o fundamental_o all_o be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v notorious_o deviate_v from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o matter_n in_o difference_n be_v thing_n in_o which_o salvation_n be_v not_o concern_v and_o upon_o that_o account_n their_o labour_n deserve_v great_a commendation_n who_o heretofore_o and_o very_o late_o have_v endeavour_v to_o reconcile_v the_o protestant_a church_n into_o a_o perfect_a union_n a_o bless_a work_n bless_a be_v the_o peacemaker_n that_o endeavour_n to_o make_v peace_n among_o the_o jar_a member_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o though_o they_o may_v fail_v of_o success_n yet_o they_o shall_v not_o lose_v their_o reward_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o those_o who_o widen_v or_o heighten_v these_o difference_n and_o incite_v the_o respective_a party_n to_o hatred_n and_o wrath_n and_o animosity_n one_o against_o
