they_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n remain_v which_o i_o remember_v you_o offer_v that_o require_v some_o more_o large_a consideration_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o though_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o

to_o be_v save_v by_o a_o law_n or_o sect_n say_v he_o signify_v that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o law_n or_o sect_n such_o man_n as_o follow_v it_o may_v be_v save_v whereas_o to_o be_v save_v

who_o never_o hear_v of_o the_o christian_a religion_n here_o then_o the_o bishop_n distinguish_v again_o of_o man_n in_o the_o law_n and_o without_o the_o law_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v between_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n christian_n and_o heathen_a and_o for_o the_o last_o though_o they_o have_v not_o the_o law_n write_v they_o have_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o

then_o that_o this_o be_v not_o so_o clear_o say_v in_o scripture_n as_o the_o other_o he_o come_v to_o another_o distinction_n which_o he_o say_v be_v to_o be_v make_v as_o that_o which_o will_v

that_o they_o shall_v be_v accept_v and_o save_v as_o christian_n have_v or_o may_v have_v upon_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o the_o dispensation_n the_o christian_n be_v under_o be_v better_a than_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n or_o heathen_a to_o reflect_v again_o on_o your_o objection_n before_o but_o to_o speak_v more_o full_o to_o this_o matter_n otherwise_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o remember_v the_o doctrine_n common_o receive_v i_o suppose_v even_o by_o you_o and_o the_o bishop_n if_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o your_o
