hereby_o it_o appear_v also_o upon_o what_o poor_a ground_n our_o common_a people_n have_v hither_o to_o go_v in_o rely_v their_o soul_n in_o this_o matter_n upon_o their_o minister_n zeal_n

and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o 3d_o property_n namely_o good_a will_n this_o property_n of_o a_o warrantable_a testimony_n our_o minister_n want_v for_o they_o have_v no_o good_a will_n at_o all_o to_o the_o cause_n but_o all_o evil_a will_n that_o may_v be_v witness_v all_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n in_o &_o about_o this_o matter_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o cause_n to_o be_v try_v before_o

it_o be_v so_o ancient_a as_o if_o error_n can_v not_o be_v ancient_a many_o look_v upon_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o point_n a_o other_o popish_a argument_n very_o believe_v it_o can_v

when_o they_o go_v to_o judge_n of_o the_o case_n in_o question_n rather_o than_o at_o those_o 4_o main_a thing_n even_o now_o propound_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o god_n four_o com._n it_o be_v no_o

as_o if_o our_o day_n be_v worse_o than_o ever_o be_v any_o before_o &_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o understand_v it_o thus_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n matter_n with_o carnal_a eye_n who_o in_o other_o case_n teach_v man_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n &_o leave_v the_o success_n to_o god_n shall_v all_o man_n tread_v their_o step_n they_o will_v make_v all_o sure_a against_o any_o

be_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o church_n to_o do_v as_o we_o do_v &_o therefore_o they_o will_v go_v on_o regardless_o of_o any_o further_a knowledge_n of_o the_o point_n but_o such_o man_n may_v live_v in_o adultery_n at_o this_o day_n upon_o the_o same_o growndlesse_a opinion_n if_o but_o many_o other_o will_v consent_v &_o join_v with_o they_o in_o this_o wicked_a practice_n so_o as_o
