the_o present_a state_n of_o france_n say_v that_o one_o three_o of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v they_o and_o it_o must_v be_v worse_o in_o spain_n then_o their_o pilgrimage_n ransom_n from_o purgatory_n

who_o grutch_v it_o and_o real_o i_o never_o know_v any_o malign_v the_o decent_a maintenance_n of_o our_o church_n but_o such_o as_o discover_v a_o great_a many_o other_o vice_n in_o our_o late_a

of_o all_o our_o sense_n but_o this_o be_v a_o digression_n the_o truth_n be_v religion_n must_v be_v in_o some_o degree_n chargeable_a for_o if_o we_o will_v serve_v god_n only_o out_o of_o that_o which_o cost_v we_o nothing_o then_o in_o our_o eye_n the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o worth_a but_o there_o may_v be_v too_o much_o take_v as_o well_o as_o there_o may_v be_v too_o little_o

which_o pretend_v to_o great_a distance_n from_o popery_n i_o will_v now_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n but_o that_o i_o find_v my_o work_n be_v not_o do_v against_o popery_n till_o i_o clear_a protestancy_n from_o some_o dirt_n throw_v on_o it_o which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o do_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o have_v do_v the_o rest_n ob_fw-la 1._o protestant_n general_o yield_v that_o a_o papist_n may_v be_v save_v how_o then_o come_v reformation_n from_o popery_n to_o be_v necessary_a why_o shall_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v break_v for_o that_o without_o which_o we_o may_v be_v eternal_o happy_a i_o answer_v we_o condemn_v no_o man_n there_o be_v one_o that_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n and_o charity_n command_v we_o to_o hope_v that_o well_o meaning_n papist_n will_v be_v save_v in_o that_o day_n but_o if_o any_o man_n think_v the_o popish_a doctrine_n false_a and_o yet_o profess_v they_o as_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n his_o hypocrisy_n be_v a_o damnable_a sin_n hence_o the_o reformation_n become_v necessary_a god_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o several_a people_n they_o see_v error_n in_o the_o church_n refuse_v to_o own_o they_o declare_v against_o they_o and_o in_o some_o country_n prevail_v against_o they_o they_o must_v either_o do_v so_o or_o be_v hypocrite_n in_o profess_v what_o they_o do_v not_o think_v not_o that_o man_n be_v every_o where_o bind_v to_o proclaim_v their_o religion_n but_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o be_v there_o they_o must_v profess_v every_o thing_n with_o the_o church_n or_o suffer_v as_o heretic_n in_o sum_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n keep_v the_o christian_a faith_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o neither_o may_v we_o leave_v it_o because_o of_o some_o erroneous_a superstructious_a not_o for_o example_n sake_n because_o they_o believe_v transubstantiation_n and_o adore_v the_o host_n but_o because_o they_o compel_v we_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o do_v so_o ob_fw-la 2._o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o protestant_n to_o reform_v from_o popery_n for_o conscience_n sake_n than_o it_o be_v lawful_a upon_o the_o same_o account_n for_o presbyterian_o to_o reform_v from_o protestant_n and_o for_o independent_o and_o for_o anabaptist_n quaker_n etc._n etc._n without_o end_n and_o if_o this_o be_v allow_v in_o what_o a_o perpetual_a toss_v of_o trouble_n will_v christian_a country_n be_v one_o cry_v up_o one_o way_n to_o heaven_n and_o another_o cry_n up_o another_o way_n and_o their_o word_n often_o proceed_v to_o blow_n each_o one_o party_n condemn_v all_o the_o rest_n but_o most_o of_o they_o join_v against_o the_o chief_a magistrate_n beside_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v go_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n be_v go_v and_o the_o church_n will_v soon_o be_v go_v for_o division_n be_v not_o many_o step_n before_o destruction_n this_o objection_n go_v a_o great_a way_n with_o many_o people_n therefore_o i_o will_v set_v down_o my_o answer_n distinct_o in_o branch_n 1._o i_o confess_v that_o division_n in_o the_o church_n do_v natural_o tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o it_o but_o of_o this_o evil_n they_o only_o be_v guilty_a who_o cause_n the_o division_n now_o who_o cause_v our_o departure_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o that_o be_v drive_v or_o they_o who_o drive_v we_o away_o if_o it_o be_v say_v who_o drive_v you_o away_o i_o answer_v they_o that_o make_v it_o mortal_a for_o we_o to_o stay_v we_o must_v either_o hear_v our_o conscience_n or_o they_o or_o the_o word_n 2_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o reform_v himself_o according_a to_o his_o conscience_n that_o be_v he_o be_v bind_v not_o to_o profess_v that_o which_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o not_o to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o think_v be_v unlawful_a but_o though_o every_o man_n reason_n be_v his_o own_o guide_n yet_o no_o one_o man_n reason_n be_v the_o guide_n of_o other_o man_n unless_o they_o make_v it_o so_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o magistracy_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o no_o particular_a person_n ought_v to_o press_v the_o reformation_n of_o other_o man_n unless_o he_o be_v authorise_v by_o god_n or_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o private_a person_n may_v think_v themselves_o bind_v in_o conscience_n not_o only_o to_o reform_v themselves_o but_o other_o also_o to_o preach_v and_o perhaps_o fight_v up_o their_o own_o way_n and_o when_o this_o frenzy_n be_v prevalent_a it_o be_v a_o great_a judgement_n from_o god_n both_o upon_o the_o person_n possess_v with_o it_o and_o upon_o the_o nation_n in_o which_o it_o happen_v but_o the_o rule_n be_v that_o as_o they_o follow_v their_o own_o erroneous_a conscience_n in_o these_o prank_n so_o the_o chief_a magistrate_n be_v to_o follow_v his_o conscience_n which_o be_v not_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o do_v hurt_v to_o the_o church_n or_o state_n 3_o i_o confess_v that_o our_o be_v subject_a to_o trouble_n from_o presbyterian_o &c._n &c._n be_v a_o imbecility_n in_o our_o church_n but_o it_o be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o be_v vex_v with_o sectary_n and_o they_o be_v vex_v with_o the_o same_o sectary_n and_o with_o we_o too_o 4_o but_o i_o shall_v be_v tell_v that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v in_o this_o that_o by_o our_o reformation_n from_o popery_n we_o give_v a_o precedent_n invite_v other_o to_o reform_v from_o we_o to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o in_o our_o reformation_n the_o king_n and_o people_n be_v of_o a_o mind_n and_o reform_a according_a to_o order_n of_o law_n therefore_o our_o reformation_n be_v no_o precedent_n for_o the_o tumultous_a and_o violent_a endeavour_n of_o presbyterian_o etc._n etc._n again_o the_o sectary_n have_v not_o the_o same_o necessity_n of_o separate_n from_o we_o as_o we_o have_v for_o separation_n from_o rome_n for_o we_o can_v not_o stay_v there_o without_o declare_v for_o transubstantiation_n etc._n etc._n which_o we_o can_v not_o believe_v but_o the_o presbyterian_o anabaptist_n etc._n etc._n may_v hold_v their_o own_o opinion_n in_o our_o church_n without_o ever_o be_v inquire_v into_o about_o it_o nay_o if_o they_o be_v know_v to_o be_v of_o such_o opinion_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o punishment_n for_o it_o so_o that_o our_o reformation_n be_v of_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o wantonness_n we_o be_v no_o precedent_n for_o they_o to_o conclude_v upon_o this_o objection_n i_o say_v human_a affair_n can_v but_o be_v subject_a to_o inconvenience_n &_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o reject_v any_o thing_n for_o a_o adhere_a inconvenience_n unless_o its_o opposite_a be_v less_o inconvenient_a let_v we_o then_o consider_v whether_o possible_a trouble_n from_o sectary_n or_o the_o certain_a intolerablenes_n of_o the_o roman_a yoke_n upon_o our_o conscience_n life_n and_o fortune_n be_v the_o great_a inconvenience_n ob._n 3._o at_o least_o the_o romish_a religion_n by_o the_o power_n it_o have_v upon_o people_n conscience_n seem_v apt_a than_o the_o protestant_n to_o keep_v the_o people_n in_o obedience_n to_o a_o catholic_n prince_n and_o so_o ought_v to_o be_v cherish_v by_o such_o prince_n i_o answer_v popery_n be_v not_o so_o good_a at_o keep_v subject_n quiet_a as_o it_o be_v at_o raise_v tumult_n witness_n the_o french_a league_n against_o a_o roman_n catholic_n king_n yes_o popery_n have_v make_v many_o rebellion_n where_o no_o interest_n be_v concern_v but_o its_o own_o but_o where_o do_v it_o ever_o hinder_v a_o rebellion_n to_o which_o other_o interest_n invite_v do_v it_o hinder_v the_o baron_n war_n in_o england_n do_v it_o hinder_v the_o rebellion_n of_o almost_o all_o spain_n against_o charles_n the_o first_o do_v it_o hinder_v massanello_n in_o naples_n do_v it_o hinder_v the_o suiss-canton_n from_o revolt_a from_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n papist_n have_v often_o rebel_v but_o we_o can_v say_v of_o the_o protestant_n i_o mean_v the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o they_o have_v never_o yet_o rebel_v &_o that_o if_o ever_o they_o will_v rebel_n they_o will_v have_v do_v it_o in_o the_o late_a time_n when_o their_o loyalty_n contend_v with_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o a_o unsuccessful_a war_n of_o long_a penury_n of_o captivity_n of_o banishment_n of_o shameful_a death_n but_o they_o bear_v all_o these_o and_o also_o despise_v cromwell_n many_a slatter_a
