among_o you_o than_o a_o rich_a preferment_n in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n beside_o where_o i_o may_v not_o enjoy_v your_o company_n and_o friendship_n but_o see_v it_o be_v otherwise_o i_o will_v lay_v the_o fault_n upon_o no_o body_n but_o rather_o have_v compassion_n upon_o all_o for_o such_o be_v the_o violence_n of_o the_o stream_n that_o no_o one_o man_n no_o not_o the_o master_n of_o the_o ship_n himself_o be_v able_a to_o stir_v the_o ship_n out_o of_o the_o stream_n and_o yet_o the_o course_n that_o be_v hold_v be_v certain_o very_o dangerous_a not_o only_o for_o all_o

therefore_o against_o all_o adventure_n to_o convey_v themselves_o into_o a_o sure_a ship_n i_o do_v not_o desire_v they_o shall_v follow_v i_o and_o leave_v their_o land_n and_o live_n their_o

prince_n or_o prelate_n in_o the_o world_n only_o for_o the_o duty_n i_o owe_v unto_o god_n who_o have_v call_v i_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o the_o love_n i_o bear_v unto_o my_o country_n and_o to_o all_o my_o friend_n that_o be_v therein_o i_o do_v most_o humble_o and_o hearty_o desire_v they_o that_o they_o will_v serious_o consider_v and_o look_v to_o the_o state_n of_o their_o soul_n which_o be_v immortal_a can_v be_v save_v by_o any_o such_o religion_n as_o be_v temporal_a mutable_a and_o dissonant_n in_o itself_o and_o see_v no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v that_o die_v out_o of_o charity_n with_o his_o neighbour_n for_o that_o a_o uncharitable_a soul_n can_v be_v alter_v and_o make_v charitable_a after_o it_o be_v depart_v let_v every_o good_a soul_n take_v heed_n how_o by_o the_o rail_a slander_n of_o ignorant_a malicious_a and_o proud_a man_n it_o be_v bring_v and_o hold_v out_o of_o charity_n with_o a_o whole_a church_n and_o especial_o such_o a_o church_n as_o can_v be_v deem_v to_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o that_o church_n that_o be_v in_o england_n and_o be_v a_o mother_n church_n it_o be_v worthy_a at_o least_o to_o be_v hear_v quiet_o to_o

not_o that_o i_o will_v have_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n gain_n by_o the_o good_n of_o england_n for_o i_o know_v she_o intend_v it_o not_o and_o the_o state_n may_v provide_v against_o but_o that_o i_o desire_v the_o soul_n of_o england_n shall_v gain_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o if_o you_o may_v free_o hear_v she_o speak_v you_o will_v certain_o desire_v also_o and_o although_o she_o may_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o yet_o you_o may_v inquire_v of_o she_o and_o hear_v what_o indifferent_a man_n without_o choler_n or_o passion_n do_v say_v and_o write_v of_o she_o and_o if_o you_o do_v find_v she_o indeed_o to_o be_v the_o true_a mother_n suffer_v not_o the_o devil_n to_o possess_v your_o understanding_n by_o heresy_n nor_o your_o will_n by_o malice_n for_o any_o worldly_a respect_n whatsoever_o but_o unite_v your_o understanding_n to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o church_n by_o faith_n and_o your_o affection_n to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o church_n by_o love_n &_o charity_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a unite_v your_o outward_a man_n also_o to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o by_o all_o spiritual_a obedience_n but_o if_o you_o find_v impossibility_n therein_o then_o have_v do_v your_o best_a to_o help_v the_o catholic_a church_n by_o your_o faith_n &_o charity_n as_o

majesty_n and_o be_o desirous_a to_o give_v all_o good_a man_n satisfaction_n that_o have_v any_o religion_n at_o all_o but_o i_o do_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v as_o you_o may_v easy_o see_v among_o yourselves_o four_o sort_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n 1_o some_o do_v not_o believe_v either_o hell_n or_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v content_a to_o go_v to_o any_o church_n and_o be_v of_o any_o religion_n but_o care_n for_o none_o at_o all_o 2_o some_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v hell_n and_o heaven_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n fall_v out_o by_o absolute_a predestination_n as_o by_o fatal_a destiny_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o church_n nor_o religion_n can_v do_v a_o man_n good_a but_o only_o to_o read_v scripture_n and_o hear_v sermon_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o a_o man_n be_v predestinate_a 3_o some_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v hell_n and_o heaven_n and_o that_o some_o religion_n be_v necessary_a but_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n what_o so_o a_o man_n obey_v the_o king_n law_n and_o live_v like_o a_o honest_a man_n for_o they_o say_v every_o man_n may_v be_v save_v in_o his_o own_o religion_n all_o these_o i_o be_o out_o of_o hope_n to_o satisfy_v although_o their_o folly_n be_v against_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n but_o they_o have_v lose_v reason_n 4_o some_o there_o be_v that_o believe_v there_o be_v hell_n and_o heaven_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o avoid_v the_o one_o or_o attain_v the_o other_o but_o only_o true_a christian_a religion_n which_o they_o will_v glad_o embrace_v if_o they_o can_v know_v which_o it_o be_v to_o they_o and_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o will_v take_v any_o pain_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n and_o i_o be_o certain_a if_o they_o will_v hear_v i_o with_o patience_n they_o will_v be_v satisfy_v and_o for_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o question_n i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v on_o all_o side_n that_o that_o only_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a religion_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v teach_v himself_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o which_o as_o he_o promise_v shall_v
