peace_n among_o ourselves_o love_v towards_o one_o another_o and_o union_n to_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n out_o of_o which_o whosoever_o be_v be_v a_o schismatic_a and_o exclude_v all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o i_o will_v make_v appear_v hereafter_o than_o they_o will_v cease_v to_o hate_v and_o begin_v to_o love_v i_o but_o oftentimes_o it_o happen_v quite_o contrary_a to_o our_o good_a intention_n as_o when_o jesus_n christ_n manifest_v unto_o the_o jew_n the_o vice_n which_o they_o be_v give_v to_o his_o intention_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v hate_v their_o sin_n and_o not_o the_o physician_n who_o be_v willing_a to_o heal_v they_o but_o it_o happen_v on_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v ungrateful_a say_v augustine_n for_o be_v grow_v mad_a they_o assault_v the_o physician_n who_o come_v to_o cure_v they_o i_o may_v say_v the_o same_o thing_n concern_v those_o who_o be_v unwilling_a to_o hear_v christian_a doctrine_n their_o interest_n be_v to_o know_v they_o since_o it_o concern_v their_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v those_o who_o be_v so_o charitable_a as_o to_o instruct_v they_o with_o a_o great_a kindness_n than_o a_o king_n do_v the_o dear_a of_o his_o courtier_n but_o too_o often_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a they_o look_v upon_o those_o physician_n of_o their_o soul_n as_o upon_o their_o great_a enemy_n nevertheless_o since_o there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v glad_a to_o hear_v the_o truth_n and_o receive_v it_o in_o meekness_n to_o those_o especial_o i_o direct_v this_o discourse_n my_o design_n be_v to_o convince_v they_o and_o so_o to_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o the_o error_n in_o which_o they_o have_v walk_v many_o year_n wherein_o i_o hope_v with_o god_n assistance_n to_o have_v good_a success_n because_o i_o shall_v say_v nothing_o but_o ground_v upon_o sound_a reason_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o father_n which_o i_o shall_v quote_v faithful_o to_o the_o end_n that_o these_o authority_n may_v be_v as_o many_o buckler_n to_o defend_v i_o from_o all_o the_o stroke_n which_o some_o will_v offend_v i_o with_o that_o i_o may_v not_o

in_o esdras_n that_o truth_n be_v strong_a than_o wine_n than_o woman_n than_o king_n yet_o we_o daily_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o for_o all_o its_o strength_n it_o be_v oftentimes_o cruel_o assault_v and_o miserable_o subdue_v upon_o earth_n every_o one_o know_v what_o persecution_n jesus_n christ_n suffer_v because_o he_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v unto_o all_o man_n his_o apostle_n disciple_n and_o martyr_n be_v not_o only_o hate_v but_o after_o his_o example_n endure_v several_a torment_n even_o death_n itself_o because_o they_o will_v defend_v and_o make_v it_o manifest_a if_o i_o have_v write_v any_o thing_n not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o sound_a reason_n i_o shall_v be_v very_o glad_a and_o thankful_a in_o be_v inform_v of_o it_o therefore_o i_o

it_o do_v not_o follow_v because_o there_o be_v three_o real_o distinct_a person_n that_o there_o be_v three_o substance_n real_o distinct_a one_o from_o another_o for_o god_n be_v a_o intellectual_a be_v he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v infinite_o perfect_a and_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o he_o love_v himself_o the_o term_n of_o his_o intellect_n be_v call_v the_o son_n as_o we_o call_v the_o
