out_o of_o that_o one_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n to_o be_v obtain_v since_o the_o difference_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n between_o catholic_n &_o protestant_n be_v so_o many_o so_o

on_o the_o other_o since_o beside_o our_o difference_n in_o point_n of_o doctrine_n we_o swerve_v also_o from_o one_o a_o other_o in_o point_n of_o discipline_n and_o have_v separate_v ourselves_o &_o

and_o be_v daily_o make_v sermon_n and_o book_n and_o edict_n and_o law_n against_o one_o another_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o either_o both_o they_o and_o we_o must_v not_o be_v save_v if_o we_o

they_o not_o only_o take_v liberty_n to_o say_v of_o we_o but_o even_o of_o one_o another_o also_o and_o yet_o do_v not_o think_v that_o they_o offend_v charity_n therein_o as_o for_o we_o we_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n conceive_v that_o they_o break_v the_o law_n of_o charity_n towards_o we_o suppose_v their_o own_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a in_o that_o they_o allow_v not_o salvation_n to_o we_o if_o we_o die_v in_o we_o which_o consequent_o must_v be_v false_a and_o if_o we_o be_v a_o false_a religion_n as_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o their_o church_n be_v true_a and_o that_o we_o obstinate_o refuse_v to_o obey_v it_o we_o can_v be_v save_v by_o the_o profession_n thereof_o and_o so_o therefore_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o be_v true_a as_o
