religion_n be_v true_a and_o good_a which_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v true_a and_o loyal_a to_o your_o king_n and_o to_o yield_v obedience_n in_o all_o lawful_a thing_n to_o the_o high_a power_n under_o who_o god_n have_v subject_v we_o can_v that_o religion_n be_v true_a which_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o your_o prince_n or_o if_o you_o do_v will_v afterward_o dispense_v with_o you_o for_o the_o breach_n of_o such_o a_o oath_n when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o which_o be_v more_o to_o be_v hearken_v to_o sure_o than_o the_o pope_n have_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o king_n commandment_n and_o that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n can_v that_o religion_n be_v warrantable_a which_o will_v deprive_v prince_n of_o their_o power_n in_o the_o external_a government_n of_o the_o church_n when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v all_o along_o allow_v and_o approve_v it_o as_o be_v plain_a throughout_o the_o whole_a bible_n the_o pope_n supremacy_n which_o i_o find_v you_o high_o favour_n be_v a_o unjust_a usurpation_n and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o intimation_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o unless_o you_o will_v admit_v of_o a_o pasce_fw-la oves_fw-la feed_v my_o sheep_n or_o duo_fw-la lumina_fw-la fecit_fw-la deus_fw-la god_n make_v two_o great_a light_n the_o sun_n to_o rule_v the_o day_n the_o

beget_v isaac_n will_v prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o nonresidency_a but_o do_v i_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n be_v a_o usurpation_n why_o sure_o so_o it_o be_v and_o especial_o here_o in_o england_n where_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o understand_v any_o good_a title_n he_o have_v to_o it_o whenever_o he_o have_v it_o it_o be_v get_v either_o by_o fraud_n or_o force_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v very_o well_o expect_v to_o lose_v it_o when_o the_o right_a heir_n shall_v claim_v his_o own_o the_o pope_n that_o strong_a man_n arm_v keep_v it_o by_o mere_a force_n and_o strength_n for_o a_o while_n but_o at_o length_n come_v henry_n the_o eight_o who_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o courage_n and_o strong_a than_o the_o pope_n throw_v he_o out_o and_o the_o king_n of_o england_n his_o successor_n have_v all_o reason_n to_o see_v to_o the_o keep_a possession_n of_o that_o that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o precious_a jewel_n of_o the_o crown_n to_o be_v brief_a sir_n i_o will_v earnest_o importune_v you_o to_o consult_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n which_o will_v it_o be_v presume_v ever_o long_o be_v tender_v to_o you_o and_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o you_o can_v find_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o either_o of_o they_o but_o what_o may_v very_o safe_o be_v take_v by_o all_o good_a christian_n and_o when_o you_o have_v take_v they_o let_v i_o as_o earnest_o importune_v you_o to_o keep_v they_o for_o however_o some_o may_v please_v themselves_o with_o the_o pope_n dispensation_n and_o think_v that_o that_o will_v justify_v and_o excuse_v they_o in_o the_o breach_n of_o those_o or_o either_o of_o those_o oath_n yet_o god_n himself_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v not_o hold_v they_o guiltless_a i.e._n he_o will_v severe_o punish_v and_o revenge_v himself_o upon_o those_o who_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a i_o have_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o to_o say_v which_o just_o now_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n and_o that_o will_v relate_v to_o a_o expression_n which_o in_o my_o own_o hear_n come_v late_o from_o you_o you_o be_v say_v not_o long_o since_o that_o if_o you_o shall_v change_v your_o religion_n yet_o you_o will_v hardly_o do_v it_o at_o this_o time_n because_o as_o you_o then_o say_v the_o world_n will_v think_v that_o you_o do_v it_o more_o out_o of_o fear_n then_o conscience_n the_o very_a expression_n my_o thought_n do_v portend_v some_o good_a and_o put_v i_o in_o some_o little_a hope_n of_o a_o change_n but_o i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n if_o you_o have_v any_o conviction_n wrought_v in_o you_o of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o purity_n and_o peaceableness_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o of_o the_o quite_o contrary_a quality_n of_o the_o romish_a take_v heed_n of_o smother_a &_o stifle_a such_o conviction_n though_o but_o for_o a_o hour_n for_o that_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o you_o both_o here_o and_o hereafter_o let_v no_o man_n refuse_v to_o hear_v when_o god_n almighty_a call_v never_o be_v afraid_a or_o ashamed_a to_o own_o and_o embrace_v that_o religion_n which_o if_o you_o live_v but_o up_o to_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o will_v render_v you_o a_o true_a servant_n to_o god_n a_o loyal_a subject_n to_o your_o king_n and_o a_o faithful_a friend_n to_o your_o friend_n though_o his_o persuasion_n in_o religion_n be_v never_o so_o differ_v and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o this_o sir_n that_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o persuade_v myself_o that_o a_o roman_n catholic_n quatenus_fw-la roman_a catholic_n can_v ever_o be_v reckon_v as_o a_o good_a

which_o the_o ignorant_a people_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o say_v their_o prayer_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n can_v be_v assure_v of_o thus_o sir_n i_o have_v answer_v your_o desire_n
