the_o former_a than_o his_o meaning_n be_v i_o believe_v one_o holy_a protestant_a church_n as_o settle_v in_o england_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n if_o the_o latter_a i_o desire_v to_o know_v

ourselves_o a_o church_n divide_v from_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world._n and_o therefore_o i_o crave_v leave_n to_o ask_v st._n paul_n be_v question_n what_o come_v the_o word_n of_o god_n out_o from_o you_o the_o establish_a church_n or_o come_v it_o unto_o you_o alone_o 1_o cor._n 14.36_o have_v the_o divine_a goodness_n leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o darkness_n except_o our_o

perhaps_o you_o will_v answer_v i_o that_o by_o one_o holy_a catholic_a church_n you_o understand_v all_o the_o variety_n of_o protestant_n as_o church_n of_o england-man_n presbyterian_o lutheran_n independent_n anabaptist_n fifth-monarchy-man_n quaker_n etc._n etc._n but_o all_o these_o want_v that_o first_o and_o essential_a mark_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n call_v unity_n can_v be_v that_o one_o holy_a society_n intend_v by_o our_o creed_n and_o moreover_o this_o make_v protestancy_n so_o wander_v and_o uncertain_a a_o thing_n that_o i_o for_o my_o part_n do_v not_o well_o understand_v it_o can_v you_o say_v that_o lutheran_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england-man_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o material_a point_n the_o lutheran_n hold_v a_o corporal_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n deny_v it_o or_o that_o calvinist_n and_o good_a protestant_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o necessary_a matter_n the_o former_a have_v no_o order_n of_o priest_n and_o bishop_n consequent_o not_o true_a sacrament_n nor_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o absolve_a sinner_n beside_o the_o catholic_a church_n can_v never_o fail_v but_o as_o for_o those_o sect_n of_o protestant_n who_o ever_o see_v or_o hear_v of_o they_o for_o many_o age_n before_o henry_n viii_o well_o but_o you_o will_v insist_v upon_o it_o that_o god_n have_v his_o people_n among_o all_o sort_n of_o protestant_n which_o answer_v i_o have_v sometime_o hear_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o protestant_n and_o it_o call_v to_o my_o mind_n those_o excellent_a word_n of_o the_o late_a king_n second_o paper_n viz._n the_o protestant_n be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v the_o true_a church_n from_o whence_o there_o can_v be_v no_o appeal_n but_o because_o the_o discipline_n of_o that_o church_n be_v conformable_a at_o that_o present_a to_o their_o fancy_n which_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o shall_v contradict_v or_o vary_v from_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o

bring_v into_o my_o remembrance_n these_o word_n of_o a_o certain_a person_n once_o of_o my_o acquaintance_n he_o be_v a_o presbyterian_a and_o give_v his_o son_n leave_v to_o go_v for_o new-england_n
