god_n church_n that_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o leave_v their_o cradle_n that_o be_v they_o be_v rock_v up_o and_o down_o by_o their_o new_a opinion_n and_o so_o far_o from_o be_v settle_v that_o it_o

and_o they_o do_v do_v it_o and_o water_v it_o with_o their_o blood_n be_v this_o do_v for_o nothing_o that_o when_o these_o pretend_a reformer_n come_v they_o must_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o god_n will_v undo_v all_o again_o what_o have_v be_v practise_v so_o long_o in_o all_o christendom_n to_o have_v new_a religion_n of_o their_o make_n set_v up_o sure_o these_o man_n think_v that_o either_o god_n know_v not_o what_o he_o do_v when_o he_o plant_v the_o first_o or_o that_o all_o people_n but_o themselves_o be_v very_o simple_a to_o receive_v a_o second_o faith_n from_o they_o of_o their_o own_o invent_v as_o plain_o appear_v soon_o after_o and_o do_v still_o for_o no_o soon_o be_v they_o several_o grow_v to_o any_o authority_n with_o silly_a people_n but_o they_o begin_v to_o rail_v and_o revile_v one_o against_o the_o other_o just_a as_o we_o see_v their_o succeed_a follower_n do_v to_o this_o day_n which_o indeed_o be_v proper_a to_o all_o sectary_n and_o heretic_n to_o do_v which_o show_v then_o and_o now_o of_o what_o far_a distance_n their_o doctrine_n be_v from_o please_a god_n who_o be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o hare_v contention_n as_o also_o far_o from_o be_v of_o his_o church_n since_o there_o be_v no_o such_o custom_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v by_o woeful_a experience_n in_o this_o kingdom_n how_o these_o sect_n which_o be_v the_o spawn_n of_o heresy_n still_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o among_o we_o and_o in_o their_o increase_n be_v still_o more_o monstrous_a then_o at_o first_o in_o their_o opinion_n against_o god_n and_o christian_a religion_n and_o yet_o they_o say_v as_o the_o first_o of_o they_o do_v that_o god_n have_v send_v they_o to_o convert_v and_o purge_v the_o world_n and_o bring_v in_o new_a relgion_n and_o so_o all_o heretic_n that_o come_v after_o this_o age_n will_v say_v the_o like_a and_o so_o it_o seem_v by_o they_o that_o god_n will_v never_o settle_v any_o but_o have_v every_o age_n a_o new_a religion_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v what_o a_o tempestuous_a sea_n heresy_n be_v which_o tumble_v they_o up_o and_o down_o that_o follow_v it_o and_o never_o be_v at_o

know_v not_o where_o to_o go_v for_o to_o find_v rest_n for_o their_o soul_n because_o so_o many_o sect_n pretend_v for_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v all_o false_a because_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n one_o god_n and_o one_o baptism_n and_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v the_o only_a haven_n for_o all_o those_o trouble_a spirit_n that_o seek_v for_o truth_n to_o find_v repose_n in_o and_o how_o destructive_a they_o be_v to_o civil_a government_n i_o need_v not_o quote_v any_o author_n to_o prove_v it_o since_o our_o king_n and_o kingdom_n at_o home_n as_o

now_o as_o i_o have_v brief_o show_v you_o the_o rough_a and_o stormy_a sea_n of_o heresy_n and_o faction_n so_o i_o will_v open_v the_o gate_n to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o smooth_a and_o pleasant_a

this_o truth_n observe_v this_o notable_a place_n concern_v this_o point_n where_o our_o saviour_n speak_v concern_v the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n declare_v for_o what_o cause_v some_o be_v

bible_n now_o have_v prove_v this_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n we_o will_v see_v what_o saint_n paul_n his_o apostle_n say_v who_o i_o will_v warrant_v you_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n as_o

towards_o his_o name_n in_o that_o you_o have_v minister_v to_o the_o saint_n now_o you_o may_v perceive_v st._n paul_n opinion_n which_o be_v that_o it_o will_v seem_v unjust_a in_o god_n if_o he_o
