work_v wonder_n in_o the_o earth_n who_o power_n can_v be_v control_v in_o who_o hand_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o flesh_n who_o can_v turn_v they_o in_o a_o moment_n turn_v thou_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o people_n unto_o thou_o and_o one_o unto_o another_o do_v thou_o proclaim_v a_o fast_a from_o sin_n throughout_o these_o sinful_a kingdom_n let_v

be_v sake_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o address_n to_o protestant_n upon_o the_o present_a conjuncture_n have_v then_o finish_v the_o first_o part_n of_o my_o address_n relate_v to_o the_o

address_n that_o more_o immediate_o concern_v we_o as_o profess_a christian_n and_o protestant_n but_o before_o i_o begin_v i_o desire_v to_o premise_v and_o can_v with_o much_o sincerity_n declare_v that_o i_o intend_v not_o the_o reproach_n of_o any_o person_n or_o party_n i_o be_o weary_a with_o see_v so_o much_o of_o it_o in_o the_o world_n for_o it_o gain_v nothing_o that_o be_v worth_a keep_n but_o harden_v to_o a_o desperateness_n what_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o endeavour_v to_o soften_v but_o if_o without_o offence_n i_o may_v speak_v the_o truth_n that_o which_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n tend_v to_o the_o present_a settlement_n and_o future_a felicity_n of_o my_o poor_a country_n i_o shall_v by_o god_n help_n deliver_v myself_o with_o that_o modesty_n plainness_n and_o integrity_n that_o become_v a_o real_a christian_a and_o a_o true_a englishman_n those_o capital_a sin_n and_o error_n that_o relate_v to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a state_n or_o church-capacity_n of_o these_o kingdom_n and_o which_o be_v so_o inconsistent_a with_o christian_a religion_n and_o pure_a protestancy_n and_o that_o above_o all_o displease_v almighty_a god_n be_v first_o make_v opinion_n article_n of_o faith_n at_o least_o give_v they_o the_o reputation_n of_o faith_n and_o make_v they_o the_o bond_n of_o christian_a society_n second_o mistake_v the_o nature_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o take_v that_o for_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o gospel-faith_n three_o debase_v the_o true_a value_n of_o morality_n under_o pretence_n of_o high_a thing_n mistake_v the_o very_a end_n of_o christ_n come_v four_o prefer_v humane_a authority_n above_o reason_n and_o truth_n five_o propagate_a faith_n by_o force_n and_o impose_v religion_n by_o worldly_a compulsion_n these_o i_o take_v to_o be_v those_o church_n evil_n that_o have_v too_o much_o infect_v even_o these_o part_n of_o the_o repute_v reform_a world_n and_o though_o the_o roman_a church_n for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v transcend_v all_o other_o society_n in_o these_o error_n and_o may_v in_o a_o sense_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o they_o she_o from_o who_o they_o take_v birth_n by_o who_o they_o be_v bring_v forth_o and_o propagate_v in_o christendom_n yet_o there_o have_v not_o be_v that_o integrity_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o christianity_n and_o first_o reason_n of_o reformation_n from_o papacy_n in_o our_o own_o country_n as_o have_v be_v and_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o conserve_v first_o in_o that_o opinion_n pass_v for_o faith_n and_o be_v make_v article_n of_o faith_n and_o enjoin_v to_o be_v embrace_v as_o the_o bond_n of_o communion_n that_o this_o be_v so_o let_v we_o take_v the_o most_o impartial_a view_n we_o can_v and_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v true_a both_o of_o the_o national_a and_o many_o other_o select_a society_n that_o i_o may_v be_v understand_v in_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n opinion_n i_o explain_v it_o thus_o opinion_n be_v all_o those_o proposition_n or_o conclusion_n make_v by_o man_n doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o article_n of_o communion_n which_o either_o be_v not_o express_o lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n or_o not_o so_o evident_o deduceable_a from_o scripture_n as_o to_o leave_v no_o reason_n of_o doubt_n in_o their_o mind_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o who_o sincere_o and_o reverent_o believe_v the_o text_n or_o last_o such_o as_o have_v no_o new_a or_o credible_a revelation_n to_o avouch_v they_o that_o this_o be_v our_o case_n let_v the_o several_a confession_n of_o faith_n publish_v by_o almost_o every_o party_n in_o england_n be_v peruse_v and_o you_o will_v find_v such_o proposition_n translate_v into_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o article_n of_o communion_n as_o be_v first_o not_o only_o not_o express_v in_o scripture_n but_o perhaps_o not_o deduceable_a from_o scripture_n if_o one_o party_n may_v be_v but_o believe_v against_o another_o this_o will_v want_v no_o evidence_n to_o prove_v the_o point_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n such_o as_o be_v though_o not_o express_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v deduceable_a as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o but_o either_o carry_v so_o high_a spin_v so_o fine_a or_o so_o disguise_v by_o barbarous_a school-term_n that_o they_o be_v rather_o a_o bone_n of_o contention_n than_o a_o bond_n of_o concord_n to_o
