implicit_a faith_n that_o we_o be_v member_n of_o such_o a_o church_n as_o be_v uniform_a in_o all_o its_o devotion_n who_o avow_a principle_n and_o practice_n disow_v all_o resistance_n of_o lawful_a authority_n our_o saviour_n never_o warrant_v the_o shed_n of_o any_o blood_n not_o of_o his_o own_o most_o implacable_a enemy_n let_v man_n look_v but_o into_o its_o doctrine_n and_o history_n and_o they_o will_v find_v neither_o the_o knox_n nor_o the_o junius_n brutus_n on_o the_o one_o side_n nor_o the_o bellarmin_n escobar_n or_o marianna_n on_o the_o other_o this_o be_v the_o church_n that_o make_v the_o protestant_a religion_n considerable_a in_o christendom_n because_o it_o do_v not_o confound_v we_o with_o the_o many_o posture_n and_o garb_n of_o worship_n or_o with_o the_o continual_a start_n up_o of_o new_a light_n because_o it_o do_v not_o approve_v of_o enthusiastical_a heat_n of_o sudden_a impulse_n of_o spirit_n of_o zeal_n without_o understanding_n nor_o of_o any_o such_o extraordinary_a call_n whereby_o some_o man_n have_v think_v themselves_o authorize_v to_o overthrow_v kingdom_n because_o there_o be_v somewhat_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o revelation_n concern_v a_o beast_n little_a horn_n and_o a_o five_o vial._n but_o in_o the_o room_n of_o wild_a and_o unaccountable_a conceit_n our_o church_n settle_v in_o we_o clear_a and_o certain_a notion_n of_o religious_a duty_n forbid_v we_o to_o make_v false_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n to_o countenance_v any_o evil_a design_n charge_v we_o to_o place_v our_o religion_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o true_a and_o real_a goodness_n not_o in_o form_n and_o scheme_n of_o speech_n or_o unintelligible_a word_n that_o have_v no_o meaning_n or_o sense_n belong_v to_o they_o but_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o in_o good_a affection_n issue_v thence_o by_o these_o mean_n we_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o substantial_a virtue_n have_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n unless_o we_o work_v it_o out_o with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v for_o no_o man_n be_v in_o any_o thing_n more_o certain_a than_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v sober_a and_o temperate_a in_o reference_n to_o himself_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o deal_v righteous_o and_o so_o as_o he_o will_v be_v deal_v by_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o carry_v himself_o equal_o and_o fair_o and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o fear_v and_o reverence_v the_o deity_n now_o the_o church_n where_o we_o be_v baptise_a plain_o tell_v we_o what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v what_o sober_a righteous_a and_o godly_a life_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o lead_v and_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o danger_n of_o neglect_v these_o duty_n so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o deceive_v by_o any_o way_n of_o fraud_n or_o falsehood_n we_o have_v no_o such_o cheat_n put_v upon_o we_o as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n or_o the_o deliver_n soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n by_o mass_n but_o we_o be_v deal_v honest_o withal_o for_o without_o flattery_n our_o church_n declare_v no_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v without_o personal_a holiness_n and_o unless_o he_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o mind_n that_o no_o sacrifice_n shall_v atone_v for_o his_o sin_n although_o he_o make_v his_o whole_a body_n a_o burnt-offering_a he_o shall_v not_o hide_v his_o iniquity_n by_o the_o great_a fire_n and_o smoak_n he_o can_v raise_v unless_o he_o deny_v his_o most_o belove_a appetite_n and_o cast_v off_o his_o choice_a lust_n he_o may_v go_v a_o great_a way_n from_o home_n in_o pilgrimage_n and_o wander_v through_o desert_n in_o sackcloth_n and_o hair_n be_v clog_v with_o heavy_a melancholy_a blood_n he_o may_v retire_v to_o a_o dark_a religious_a room_n and_o lock_v himself_o in_o with_o many_o key_n but_o all_o will_v not_o do_v unless_o he_o part_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o heart_n come_v abroad_o and_o practice_v the_o active_a virtue_n of_o christ_n religion_n unless_o he_o fashion_v his_o life_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o it_o and_o take_v not_o up_o his_o religion_n for_o mode-sake_n or_o because_o he_o be_v bear_v where_o it_o be_v profess_v thus_o i_o say_v our_o church_n deal_v upright_o with_o mankind_n by_o tell_v they_o that_o

which_o the_o repetition_n of_o ave-mary_n prayer_n or_o the_o absolution_n of_o a_o priest_n at_o the_o last_o can_v wipe_v away_o especial_o when_o they_o have_v long_o abuse_v themselves_o by_o
