to_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n however_o i_o can_v but_o spend_v some_o consideration_n on_o the_o sad_a division_n and_o quarrel_n that_o be_v among_o those_o who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n i_o wonder_v not_o to_o see_v mahometan_n and_o jew_n scandalize_v at_o these_o division_n the_o jew_n especial_o when_o they_o read_v such_o lofty_a

they_o though_o these_o prophecy_n have_v be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n fulfil_v not_o only_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n when_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n who_o be_v mortal_a enemy_n before_o

partly_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o signal_n change_n that_o be_v actual_o wrought_v upon_o those_o who_o be_v true_o not_o only_o in_o 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 and_o they_o be_v all_o for_o peace_n and_o concord_n though_o i_o say_v these_o prophecy_n be_v actual_o accomplish_v in_o despite_n of_o all_o the_o sect_n that_o profess_v christ_n religion_n yet_o the_o jew_n a_o dull_a hard_a inconsiderate_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o who_o be_v guide_v much_o by_o their_o sense_n see_v the_o everlasting_a quarrel_n that_o be_v among_o christian_n and_o how_o one_o party_n persecute_v and_o abuse_v the_o other_o and_o upon_o what_o slight_a occasion_n they_o quarrel_v and_o fall_v out_o and_o break_v peace_n and_o communion_n one_o with_o another_o i_o wonder_v not_o to_o see_v they_o offend_v at_o these_o

they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o heathen_n and_o pagan_n because_o they_o agree_v in_o superstition_n and_o in_o believe_v a_o multitude_n of_o god_n may_v bid_v fair_a for_o this_o character_n however_o 3._o the_o unity_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n boast_v of_o be_v only_o a_o pretence_n for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v the_o mighty_a difference_n that_o be_v within_o she_o own_o bosom_n of_o the_o scotist_n and_o thomist_n of_o the_o franciscan_n and_o dominican_n of_o the_o jansenist_n and_o jesuit_n who_o stick_v not_o to_o call_v one_o another_o heretic_n not_o to_o mention_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

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

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

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
