not_o belove_v by_o the_o most_o dishonest_a and_o they_o that_o do_v live_v dishonest_o be_v disapprove_v and_o hate_v sufficient_o by_o they_o that_o be_v most_o honest_a but_o what_o care_n they_o that_o be_v atheist_n but_o they_o that_o believe_v a_o god_n will_v care_v but_o wise_a man_n do_v take_v care_n of_o all_o vicious_a action_n of_o hatred_n and_o disgrace_n by_o man_n but_o not_o of_o god_n and_o blame_v fool_n that_o be_v so_o careless_a even_o of_o man_n because_o the_o poor_a that_o be_v oppress_v by_o they_o raise_v they_o to_o their_o same_z and_o god_n much_o more_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v the_o shame_n as_o well_o as_o grief_n of_o mankind_n whether_o they_o come_v for_o it_o or_o no._n they_o may_v depart_v the_o world_n when_o they_o will_v no_o body_n will_v stop'um_v they_o have_v their_o pass_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v miss_v i_o will_v warrant'um_v as_o they_o regard_v nothing_o but_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o lust_a and_o

trouble_v at_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o call_v divine_a revelation_n into_o question_n and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v charge_v we_o for_o so_o do_v as_o if_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v so_o reveal_v may_v not_o have_v be_v or_o may_v have_v be_v otherwise_o what_o odd_a expression_n be_v these_o to_o come_v from_o wise_a man_n of_o both_o side_n i_o wish_v they_o will_v better_o think_v of_o it_o the_o papist_n glory_n infallibility_n infallibility_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o their_o church_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v cocksure_a but_o it_o be_v we_o poor_a wretch_n that_o want_v this_o infallibility_n and_o consequent_o this_o assurance_n what_o a_o case_n be_v we_o in_o and_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o i_o wish_v some_o of_o we_o have_v better_a consider_v than_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v only_o probable_a and_o may_v have_v be_v otherwise_o so_o to_o give_v the_o adversary_n occasion_n to_o insult_v over_o we_o for_o have_v no_o church_n nor_o no_o foundation_n for_o our_o faith_n at_o all_o so_o to_o overthrow_v our_o religion_n so_o to_o overthrow_v all_o religion_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o that_o which_o be_v true_a may_v be_v false_a than_o all_o may_v be_v false_a and_o at_o last_o all_o be_v false_a and_o where_o be_v we_o then_o as_o for_o infallibility_n the_o business_n so_o much_o boast_v of_o it_o be_v none_o but_o god_n not_o the_o church_n nor_o all_o mankind_n put_v all_o together_o that_o have_v be_v or_o be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v they_o may_v set_v their_o heart_n at_o rest_n for_o they_o shall_v never_o find_v it_o nor_o show_v it_o we_o while_o this_o world_n stand_v but_o yet_o christian_a religion_n be_v certain_a for_o all_o that_o certainty_n certainty_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n be_v such_o as_o they_o have_v ever_o be_v be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v and_o can_v never_o be_v otherwise_o though_o there_o be_v no_o infallibility_n in_o man_n at_o all_o the_o foundation_n of_o god_n stand_v sure_a be_v man_n never_o so_o changeable_a and_o fallible_a and_o god_n word_n be_v more_o durable_a than_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o universe_n for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o infallibility_n in_o man_n yet_o there_o be_v infallibility_n in_o god_n and_o that_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o believe_v and_o the_o wise_a man_n trust_v to_o it_o and_o can_v fail_v of_o their_o hope_n thereby_o for_o we_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o not_o in_o the_o church_n nor_o in_o mankind_n and_o this_o be_v our_o foundation_n here_o we_o fix_v and_o resolve_v our_o faith_n into_o god_n whether_o have_v pride_n and_o malice_n drive_v we_o such_o be_v the_o papist_n hatred_n against_o the_o protestant_n to_o make_v they_o odious_a to_o all_o the_o world_n for_o have_v no_o faith_n nor_o no_o church_n though_o we_o hold_v the_o same_o christ_n as_o they_o do_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o other_o foundation_n can_v no_o man_n lay_v than_o what_o be_v already_o lay_v jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_a and_o no_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o can_v be_v save_v but_o only_o by_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o no_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n but_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n they_o make_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o a_o counsel_n or_o the_o church_n to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n we_o say_v god_n be_v the_o only_a ground_n of_o faith_n he_o can_v deny_v himself_o he_o will_v never_o leave_v nor_o forsake_v his_o church_n nor_o shall_v the_o gate_n of_o hell_n be_v ever_o able_a to_o prevail_v against_o she_o they_o therefore_o believe_v because_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a but_o we_o believe_v because_o god_n be_v infallible_a and_o what_o god_n have_v reveal_v he_o have_v reveal_v to_o those_o that_o be_v fallible_a but_o the_o thing_n reveal_v be_v the_o infallible_a truth_n of_o god_n and_o be_v never_o otherwise_o nor_o never_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o whether_o our_o father_n have_v or_o we_o do_v or_o our_o posterity_n shall_v believe_v they_o or_o no._n it_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o believe_v god_n and_o his_o word_n to_o be_v infallible_a though_o we_o be_v fallible_a and_o to_o stand_v the_o everlasting_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n though_o we_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n that_o embrace_v they_o i_o hope_v god_n be_v no_o less_o true_a though_o man_n be_v a_o lyar._n and_o i_o hope_v the_o gospel_n be_v no_o less_o true_a and_o the_o same_o for_o be_v believe_v or_o disbelieved_a god_n word_n be_v eternal_a and_o unchangeable_a as_o himself_o well_o but_o all_o this_o while_n we_o be_v beat_v our_o brain_n about_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n 1._o the_o atheist_n he_o believe_v nothing_o but_o laugh_v at_o all_o he_o go_v on_o and_o life_n and_o die_v in_o wickedness_n atheist_n atheist_n like_o a_o beast_n hope_v for_o no_o salvation_n 2._o the_o papist_n he_o be_v the_o brave_a fellow_n papist_n papist_n and_o in_o the_o safe_a condition_n of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o let_v he_o sin_v his_o heart_n out_o he_o have_v all_o his_o pardon_n be_v ready_a if_o he_o shall_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n it_o be_v but_o whisper_a a_o word_n in_o his_o confessor_n ear_n and_o listen_v to_o a_o word_n of_o absolution_n from_o he_o again_o and_o he_o be_v pure_a than_o the_o chystal_n stream_n and_o as_o clear_a as_o the_o light_n itself_o he_o take_v no_o care_n for_o himself_o for_o the_o church_n take_v all_o the_o care_n and_o provide_v what_o he_o shall_v believe_v and_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v he_o need_v not_o trouble_v himself_o at_o all_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o go_v barefoot_a a_o little_a or_o fast_o or_o whip_v a_o stroke_n or_o two_o which_o he_o may_v buy_v off_o when_o he_o please_v according_a as_o his_o purse_n be_v nay_o to_o make_v all_o sure_a if_o he_o want_v merit_n those_o saint_n that_o have_v have_v more_o than_o they_o know_v what_o to_o do_v with_o have_v lay_v they_o up_o in_o store_n to_o help_v their_o idle_a brethren_n at_o a_o dead_a lift_n and_o the_o pope_n deliver_v they_o out_o at_o such_o a_o price_n as_o the_o market_n go_v for_o they_o they_o be_v to_o be_v purchase_v every_o day_n in_o a_o word_n he_o be_v sure_a be_v he_o what_o he_o will_v because_o his_o church_n be_v sure_a sin_n and_o confess_v confess_v and_o sin_n and_o so_o continue_v till_o you_o die_v and_o be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o romish_a church_n and_o so_o at_o last_o you_o go_v to_o heaven_n to_o right_n 3._o the_o fatalist_n fatalist_n fatalist_n be_v he_o jew_n or_o turk_n take_v as_o little_a care_n as_o the_o rest_n for_o there_o be_v a_o lottery_n think_v he_o or_o a_o doomsday_n book_n if_o he_o be_v in_o for_o a_o prize_n or_o a_o blank_a he_o know_v not_o therefore_o have_v at_o all_o hit_v or_o miss_v if_o it_o be_v to_o come_v it_o will_v come_v once_o if_o it_o never_o come_v there_o be_v no_o remedy_n he_o be_v lose_v god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o no_o help_n for_o it_o so_o all_o alike_a aim_n to_o sin_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v and_o as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v thus_o man_n be_v
