be_v the_o forge_n and_o the_o mint_n last_o if_o your_o man_n have_v not_o by_o all_o the_o vile_a and_o violent_a art_n of_o the_o world_n stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o dissenter_n the_o question_n will_v quick_o have_v be_v answer_v or_o our_o article_n will_v have_v be_v so_o confess_v so_o own_a and_o so_o public_a that_o the_o question_n can_v never_o have_v be_v ask_v but_o in_o despite_n of_o all_o opposition_n there_o be_v great_a number_n of_o professor_n who_o do_v protest_v and_o profess_v and_o practice_v our_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o your_o article_n as_o it_o be_v demonstrate_v by_o the_o divine_n of_o germany_n in_o illyricus_n his_o catalogus_fw-la testium_fw-la veritatis_fw-la and_o in_o bishop_n mortons_n appeal_n but_o with_o your_o next_o objection_n you_o be_v better_o please_v and_o your_o man_n make_v most_o noise_n with_o it_o for_o you_o pretend_v that_o by_o our_o confession_n salvation_n may_v be_v have_v in_o your_o church_n but_o your_o man_n deny_v it_o to_o we_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o both_o side_n you_o may_v be_v safe_a and_o there_o be_v no_o question_n concern_v you_o but_o of_o we_o there_o be_v great_a question_n for_o none_o but_o ourselves_o say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v save_v i_o answer_v 1._o that_o salvation_n may_v be_v have_v in_o your_o church_n be_v it_o ever_o the_o true_a because_o we_o say_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o it_o can_v add_v no_o confidence_n to_o you_o for_o the_o proposition_n get_v no_o strength_n by_o our_o affirmative_a but_o if_o it_o be_v than_o our_o authority_n

ourselves_o may_v be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o hope_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v not_o venture_v on_o this_o side_n if_o we_o have_v not_o great_a reason_n to_o believe_v well_o of_o ourselves_o then_o of_o you_o and_o therefore_o believe_v we_o when_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n because_o we_o have_v great_a concernment_n and_o therefore_o great_a

we_o dare_v not_o venture_v ourselves_o on_o your_o side_n the_o burger_n of_o oldwater_n be_v to_o pass_v a_o river_n in_o his_o journey_n to_o daventry_n bad_a his_o man_n try_v the_o ford_n tell_v

be_v that_o you_o venture_v 3._o it_o will_v be_v remember_v that_o though_o the_o best_a ground_n of_o your_o hope_n be_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_o your_o own_o faith_n but_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o charity_n yet_o we_o that_o charitable_o hope_v well_o of_o you_o have_v a_o fullness_n of_o assurance_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o our_o own_o way_n and_o however_o you_o can_v please_v yourselves_o with_o image_n of_o thing_n as_o have_v no_o firm_a foot_n for_o your_o trifle_a confidence_n yet_o you_o can_v never_o with_o your_o trick_n outface_v we_o of_o just_a and_o firm_a adherency_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o empty_a of_o support_n and_o greedy_a of_o bulrush_n snatch_v at_o any_o thing_n to_o support_v your_o sink_a cause_n you_o will_v with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a consider_v the_o direct_a danger_n which_o we_o demonstrate_v to_o you_o to_o be_v in_o your_o religion_n rather_o than_o flatter_v yourselves_o with_o collateral_a weak_a and_o deceitful_a hope_n of_o accidental_a possibility_n that_o some_o of_o you_o may_v escape_v 4._o if_o we_o be_v more_o charitable_a to_o you_o than_o you_o be_v to_o we_o acknowledge_v in_o we_o the_o beauty_n and_o essential_a form_n of_o christian_a religion_n be_v sure_a you_o love_v as_o well_o as_o make_v use_n of_o our_o charity_n but_o if_o you_o make_v our_o charity_n a_o argument_n against_o we_o remember_v that_o you_o render_v we_o evil_a in_o exchange_n change_n for_o good_a and_o let_v it_o be_v no_o brag_n to_o you_o that_o you_o have_v not_o that_o charity_n to_o we_o for_o therefore_o the_o donatist_n be_v condemn_v for_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n because_o they_o damn_v all_o the_o world_n and_o afford_v no_o charity_n to_o any_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o communion_n 5._o but_o that_o our_o charity_n may_v be_v such_o indeed_o that_o be_v that_o it_o may_v do_v you_o a_o real_a benefit_n and_o not_o turn_v into_o wormwood_n and_o colliquintida_n i_o pray_v take_v notice_n in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o we_o allow_v salvation_n may_v possible_o be_v have_v in_o your_o church_n we_o warrant_v it_o not_o to_o any_o we_o only_o hope_v it_o for_o some_o we_o allow_v it_o to_o they_o as_o to_o the_o sadducee_n in_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o corinthian_n in_o the_o gospel_n who_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n that_o be_v till_o they_o be_v sufficient_o instruct_v and_o competent_o convince_v and_o have_v time_n and_o power_n to_o out-wear_a their_o prejudices_fw-la and_o the_o impress_n of_o their_o education_n and_o long_a persuasion_n but_o to_o they_o among_o you_o who_o can_v and_o do_v consider_v and_o yet_o determine_v for_o error_n and_o interest_n we_o have_v a_o great_a charity_n even_o so_o much_o as_o to_o labour_v and_o pray_v for_o their_o conversion_n but_o not_o so_o much_o fondness_n as_o to_o flatter_v they_o into_o boldness_n and_o pertinacious_a adherency_n to_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a danger_n 6._o but_o in_o all_o this_o affair_n though_o your_o man_n be_v very_o bold_a with_o god_n and_o leap_v into_o his_o judgment-seat_n before_o he_o and_o give_v wild_a sentence_n concern_v the_o salvation_n of_o your_o own_o party_n and_o the_o damnation_n of_o all_o that_o disagree_v yet_o that_o which_o be_v our_o charity_n to_o you_o be_v indeed_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reverence_n of_o his_o judgement_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o all_o papist_n be_v certain_o damn_v we_o wish_v and_o desire_v vehement_o that_o none_o of_o you_o may_v perish_v but_o then_o this_o charity_n of_o judgement_n relate_v not_o to_o you_o or_o be_v derive_v from_o any_o probability_n which_o we_o see_v in_o your_o doctrine_n that_o differ_v from_o we_o but_o because_o we_o know_v not_o what_o rate_n and_o value_n god_n put_v upon_o the_o article_n it_o concern_v neither_o you_o nor_o we_o to_o say_v this_o or_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v damn_v for_o his_o opinion_n for_o beside_o that_o this_o be_v a_o bold_a intrusion_n into_o that_o secret_a of_o god_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v open_v till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o beside_o that_o we_o know_v not_o what_o alley_n and_o abatement_n be_v to_o be_v make_v by_o the_o good_a meaning_n &_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o man_n all_o that_o can_v concern_v we_o be_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o be_v in_o error_n that_o you_o depart_v from_o scripture_n that_o you_o exercise_v tyranny_n over_o soul_n that_o you_o leave_v the_o divine_a institution_n and_o prevaricate_v god_n commandment_n that_o you_o divide_v the_o church_n without_o truth_n and_o without_o necessity_n that_o you_o tie_v man_n to_o believe_v thing_n under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n which_o can_v be_v make_v very_o probable_a much_o less_o certain_a and_o therefore_o that_o you_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o eternal_a displeasure_n but_o in_o give_v the_o final_a sentence_n as_o we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v then_o your_o man_n have_v yet_o so_o we_o refuse_v to_o follow_v your_o evil_a example_n and_o we_o follow_v the_o glorious_a precedent_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n who_o decree_v and_o declare_v against_o the_o crime_n but_o not_o against_o the_o criminal_a before_o the_o day_n he_o that_o do_v this_o or_o that_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o council_n or_o in_o danger_n of_o judgement_n or_o liable_a and_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o danger_n of_o hell_n fire_n so_o we_o say_v of_o your_o great_a error_n they_o put_v you_o in_o the_o danger_n of_o perish_v but_o that_o you_o shall_v or_o shall_v not_o perish_v we_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o judge_n and_o if_o you_o call_v this_o charity_n it_o be_v well_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v plety_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 7._o whether_o you_o may_v be_v save_v or_o whether_o you_o shall_v be_v damn_v for_o
