the_o straight_a and_o even_a valley_n and_o charity_n will_v believe_v that_o the_o crown_n of_o heaven_n may_v possible_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o roundabout_a runner_n as_o sure_o as_o by_o he_o that_o think_v he_o more_o advantageous_o cast_v his_o ground_n especial_o if_o we_o believe_v a_o possibility_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o apostle_n before_o they_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o suppose_v the_o error_n of_o our_o brethren_n be_v never_o so_o inconsistent_a with_o government_n once_o more_o i_o must_v observe_v that_o a_o rough_a method_n be_v not_o probable_a to_o convert_v they_o for_o conversion_n be_v usual_o wrought_v by_o the_o soft_a mean_n the_o mildness_n of_o the_o converter_n be_v most_o apt_a to_o melt_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o

than_o the_o supreme_a power_n will_v have_v it_o so_o and_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n ought_v to_o please_v the_o king_n if_o she_o will_v herself_o be_v long_a please_v in_o her_o establishment_n she_o ought_v not_o imperious_o to_o think_v her_o station_n infallible_o unprecarious_a nor_o rude_o to_o question_v the_o king_n word_n but_o reverent_o to_o obey_v his_o just_a desire_n how_o extreme_o ill_o do_v it_o look_v to_o question_v the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n and_o of_o such_o a_o king_n too_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o she_o have_v give_v her_o word_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o its_o veracity_n shall_v be_v doubt_v she_o will_v think_v she_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o be_v desparate_o displease_v and_o therefore_o she_o not_o do_v in_o this_o particular_a as_o she_o will_v be_v do_v by_o she_o may_v give_v occasion_n to_o be_v reward_v by_o she_o own_o measure_n and_o if_o she_o persist_v to_o question_v the_o king_n word_n the_o king_n may_v just_o suspect_v her_o loyalty_n when_o the_o king_n have_v give_v his_o royal_a word_n for_o my_o security_n if_o i_o than_o shall_v doubt_v my_o safety_n i_o may_v be_v adjudge_v by_o

the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v be_v secure_a in_o she_o own_o liberty_n it_o be_v not_o only_a her_o duty_n but_o her_o interest_n to_o promote_v and_o confirm_v that_o of_o other_o i_o know_v

be_v no_o long_o a_o friend_n but_o a_o stubborn_a enemy_n to_o the_o government_n for_o his_o eye_n must_v necessary_o be_v evil_a because_o the_o king_n be_v be_v good_a common_a gratitude_n methinks_v shall_v oblige_v our_o obedience_n not_o only_o in_o this_o but_o in_o all_o other_o affair_n his_o majesty_n have_v gracious_o confirm_v to_o we_o all_o that_o we_o possess_v and_o shall_v
