of_o the_o instance_n i_o respond_v i_o grant_v the_o multitude_n of_o believer_n do_v not_o cause_n &_o formal_o constitute_v universallitie_n in_o theobiect_n of_o religion_n nevertheless_o if_o

together_o when_o as_o the_o one_o have_v none_o at_o all_o in_o this_o case_n i_o say_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o multitude_n of_o believer_n do_v evident_o argue_v the_o religion_n so_o believe_v &_o profess_v to_o be_v no_o other_o but_o that_o same_o religion_n which_o be_v first_o found_v by_o christ_n our_o saviour_n with_o his_o promise_n of_o perpetual_a visibilitie_n &_o

religion_n which_o can_v show_v no_o such_o multitude_n of_o professor_n but_o be_v notorious_o defective_a in_o this_o particular_a have_v not_o any_o universallitie_n at_o all_o in_o the_o several_a

or_o matter_n of_o the_o english_a religion_n the_o second_o kind_n of_o universallitie_n of_o religion_n be_v in_o time_n which_o i_o prove_v not_o to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o english_a religion_n in_o the_o form_n follow_v that_o religion_n want_v true_a universallitie_n of_o time_n which_o have_v not_o be_v visible_o extant_a in_o all_o time_n since_o the_o true_a religion_n be_v first_o found_v but_o the_o religion_n of_o england_n have_v not_o be_v visible_o extant_a in_o all_o time_n since_o the_o first_o foundation_n of_o true_a religion_n therefore_o the_o religion_n of_o england_n want_v true_a universallitie_n of_o time_n the_o mayor_n be_v most_o certain_a &_o maintain_v by_o many_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o english_a faith_n if_o not_o by_o all_o yet_o because_o they_o be_v not_o whole_o unite_v in_o this_o point_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v by_o their_o doctrine_n &_o because_o of_o those_o who_o maintain_v the_o visibilitie_n of_o the_o church_n few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o grant_v that_o the_o church_n
day_n may_v with_o far_o great_a reason_n have_v affirm_v the_o same_o of_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o which_o then_o own_o book_n manifest_a they_o to_o have_v live_v as_o part_n &_o member_n be_v now_o much_o more_o extend_v then_o at_o that_o time_n it_o be_v and_o certain_o for_o the_o defender_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o imagine_v that_o altho'_o their_o religion_n hitherto_o have_v not_o be_v universal_a in_o the_o world_n yet_o that_o hereafter_o it_o will_v be_v universal_a before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v both_o void_a of_o probability_n &_o ridiculous_a first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o true_a religion_n to_o bring_v zeal_n &_o fervour_n with_o it_o especial_o in_o the_o begin_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o apostle_n &_o their_o successor_n in_o the_o first_o age_n who_o not_o obstand_v all_o the_o impediment_n that_o the_o devil_n by_o humane_a wit_n &_o malice_n can_v contrive_v yet_o d●d_v they_o extend_v &_o propagate_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n in_o diverse_a nation_n &_o kingdom_n both_o remote_a &_o barbarous_a wherefore_o if_o the_o religion_n of_o england_n have_v be_v the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n doubtless_o it_o will_v by_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o have_v be_v long_o since_o so_o extend_v &_o dilate_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o those_o streit_v as_o to_o fetch_v their_o universality_n from_o the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o world_n second_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o religion_n of_o england_n be_v such_o that_o it_o have_v no_o convenient_a mean_n for_o propagation_n of_o itself_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n inregard_n that_o those_o to_o who_o the_o charge_n of_o preach_v &_o teach_v the_o same_o be_v commit_v be_v man_n that_o be_v all_o either_o actual_o tie_v to_o wife_n child_n &_o posterity_n or_o else_o live_v in_o expection_n &_o &_o desire_n of_o those_o temporal_a or_o transitory_a commodity_n &_o scarce_o ever_o dream_v of_o extend_v their_o religion_n far_o than_o their_o own_o several_a parish_n yea_o &_o their_o doctrine_n itself_o teach_v they_o that_o either_o they_o must_v all_o marry_v of_o necessity_n as_o some_o of_o they_o maintain_v or_o at_o the_o least_o that_o it_o be_v more_o expedient_a &_o secure_v for_o they_o to_o marry_v then_o to_o lead_v a_o single_a life_n suppose_v which_o particular_n it_o be_v moral_o unpossible_a for_o they_o ever_o to_o preach_v their_o faith_n to_o all_o nation_n as_o christ_n command_v with_o such_o clog_n at_o their_o heel_n as_o be_v wife_n child_n &_o posterity_n thirdlie_o it_o be_v certain_o know_v that_o since_o the_o religion_n of_o england_n be_v establish_v in_o the_o form_n &_o manner_n that_o now_o it_o be_v in_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o never_o

any_o mission_n of_o minister_n or_o by_o other_o mean_n or_o if_o any_o of_o they_o have_v travel_v into_o strange_a country_n which_o be_v know_v to_o be_v very_o few_o in_o number_n it_o have_v

other_o crime_n or_o public_a offence_n commit_v or_o perhaps_o some_o poor_a unbenifice_v ignorant_a &_o threedbare_a fellow_n who_o for_o want_n of_o mean_n to_o maintain_v themselves_o resolve_v desperate_o to_o try_v their_o fortune_n in_o a_o other_o place_n only_o for_o that_o respect_n &_o not_o for_o charity_n or_o zeal_n of_o reduce_v people_n to_o christian_a religion_n and_o if_o perhaps_o they_o find_v any_o poor_a blackamoor_n or_o other_o barbarian_a that_o hear_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n desire_n to_o be_v of_o their_o religion_n yet_o these_o false_a apostle_n proceed_v so_o superficiallie_o with_o they_o &_o give_v they_o so_o small_a &_o ill_a instruction_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o after_o they_o have_v baptize_v they_o on_o their_o

before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v mierlie_a their_o own_o prediction_n to_o which_o no_o man_n of_o mature_a judgement_n ought_v to_o give_v credit_n except_o they_o first_o prove_v

the_o archangel_n and_o thus_o wesee_v plain_o that_o the_o english_a religion_n as_o now_o it_o be_v profess_v be_v destitute_a of_o all_o mean_n to_o propagate_v itself_o as_o hitherto_o it_o neither_o be_v nor_o ever_o be_v universal_a in_o the_o world_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v with_o any_o probable_a colour_n of_o reason_n that_o ever_o it_o can_v possible_a in_o
