into_o those_o country_n for_o the_o present_a where_o you_o can_v worship_v god_n according_a to_o your_o own_o way_n the_o church_n of_o england_n both_o in_o her_o judgement_n and_o practice_n allow_v you_o to_o communicate_v with_o those_o sister-churche_n of_o the_o reformation_n to_o who_o we_o have_v always_o give_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n though_o there_o be_v some_o circumstantial_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o us._n but_o you_o will_v probable_o meet_v with_o some_o in_o your_o travel_n as_o well_o as_o in_o our_o own_o nation_n who_o will_v be_v very_o forward_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o and_o censure_v our_o liturgy_n and_o discipline_n as_o we_o have_v many_o of_o that_o capricious_a humour_n among_o we_o though_o they_o scarce_o understand_v it_o therefore_o for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n and_o establishment_n of_o your_o own_o judgement_n herein_o and_o that_o you_o may_v be_v better_o fortify_v with_o reason_n and_o argument_n to_o vindicate_v our_o church_n and_o clear_v those_o objection_n which_o may_v be_v urge_v against_o she_o we_o shall_v consider_v first_o the_o most_o material_a objection_n which_o have_v be_v

your_o further_a satisfaction_n and_o three_o lay_v down_o some_o rule_n by_o way_n of_o caution_n which_o i_o hope_v may_v secure_v you_o and_o by_o your_o influence_n many_o other_o from_o a_o groundless_a separation_n of_o these_o distinct_o and_o first_o all_z the_o scruple_n of_o our_o nonconforming_a brethren_n against_o our_o discipline_n and_o set_a form_n of_o worship_n be_v reducible_a to_o and_o comprehend_v under_o these_o two_o objection_n and_o 1._o they_o charge_v we_o with_o popery_n which_o we_o abhor_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o they_o do_v because_o say_v they_o our_o form_n of_o common_a prayer_n by_o law_n establish_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o popish_a mass-book_n that_o they_o be_v popish_a prayer_n and_o much_o of_o our_o discipline_n and_o many_o of_o our_o ceremony_n be_v now_o use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o objection_n at_o the_o first_o appearance_n seem_v to_o be_v very_o harsh_a and_o have_v so_o affright_v some_o weak_a yet_o well-meaning_a christian_n that_o they_o dare_v scarce_o come_v near_o we_o but_o hold_v off_o and_o separate_v from_o our_o communion_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v this_o objection_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v of_o any_o force_n against_o we_o that_o it_o do_v very_o much_o approve_v and_o justify_v the_o singular_a moderation_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o most_o willing_a and_o desirous_a to_o communicate_v with_o the_o papist_n in_o all_o thing_n wherein_o we_o can_v do_v it_o lawful_o and_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n beside_o those_o divine_n who_o compile_v our_o liturgy_n be_v all_o man_n of_o extraordinary_a part_n piety_n and_o learning_n and_o several_a of_o they_o die_v martyr_n for_o our_o religion_n nor_o have_v our_o dissent_v brethren_n the_o least_o colour_n of_o reason_n to_o brand_v our_o church_n service_n with_o savour_v too_o much_o of_o popery_n see_v the_o papist_n always_o have_v and_o ever_o have_v our_o

which_o be_v a_o confess_a argument_n of_o our_o charity_n and_o moderation_n second_o that_o the_o one_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o world_n than_o in_o a_o corner_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n in_o the_o world_n but_o they_o three_o in_o all_o age_n than_o of_o late_a year_n not_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v a_o christian_a church_n in_o england_n before_o ever_o popery_n be_v know_v in_o the_o world._n four_o that_o this_o one_o church_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v find_v in_o unity_n than_o in_o division_n which_o we_o can_v easy_o recriminate_a and_o retort_v upon_o themselves_o for_o there_o be_v more_o and_o great_a schism_n and_o division_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o in_o any_o other_o christian_a church_n whatsoever_o five_o that_o they_o have_v a_o succession_n of_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n from_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n downward_o so_o have_v we_o as_o be_v full_o evident_a from_o all_o our_o ancient_n and_o authentic_a record_n see_v bishop_n bamhal_n account_n of_o the_o schism_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o they_o have_v quite_o forget_v that_o there_o be_v three_o

they_o know_v but_o how_o to_o cast_v off_o that_o papal_a and_o tyrannical_a yoke_n seven_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v only_o a_o branch_n lop_v off_o or_o a_o rag_n tear_v from_o the_o coat_n and_o that_o we_o have_v no_o church_n nor_o religion_n before_o luther_n this_n be_v a_o most_o gross_a and_o manifest_a untruth_n for_o we_o have_v a_o christian_a church_n in_o

we_o know_v very_o well_o by_o what_o usurpation_n and_o encroachment_n and_o the_o time_n when_o popery_n first_o get_v foot_v in_o england_n that_o augustin_n the_o monk_n cause_v some_o hundred_o of_o that_o order_n to_o be_v slay_v at_o bangor_n to_o make_v way_n for_o it_o and_o it_o be_v further_a evident_a by_o what_o mean_n and_o method_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v work_v upon_o the_o weakness_n and_o credulity_n of_o some_o and_o the_o necessity_n of_o other_o of_o our_o christian_a prince_n not_o have_v the_o power_n or_o courage_n or_o resolution_n to_o cast_v off_o the_o
