their_o book_n never_o be_v either_o to_o bind_v and_o determine_v our_o faith_n or_o to_o decide_v our_o difference_n touch_v the_o same_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v person_n who_o be_v endue_v with_o very_o large_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o a_o most_o lively_a and_o clear_a understanding_n for_o the_o dive_v into_o the_o truth_n but_o yet_o those_o that_o

of_o their_o power_n when_o the_o business_n they_o be_v to_o treat_v of_o be_v of_o so_o great_a both_o difficulty_n and_o importance_n and_o such_o as_o to_o the_o decide_n and_o discuss_v whereof_o we_o can_v never_o bring_v either_o more_o attention_n or_o diligence_n than_o be_v needful_a now_o that_o the_o father_n have_v not_o observe_v this_o course_n in_o their_o write_n appear_v clear_o enough_o by_o what_o have_v be_v former_o say_v their_o book_n therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v receive_v by_o we_o either_o as_o definitive_a sentence_n or_o final_a judgement_n upon_o our_o

of_o their_o part_n i_o believe_v they_o may_v very_o easy_o have_v avoid_v the_o fall_n into_o they_o if_o they_o will_v but_o have_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o have_v look_v a_o little_a better_o about_o they_o and_o i_o ●m_n of_o opinion_n that_o they_o fall_v into_o they_o mere_o by_o inadvertency_n only_o which_o may_v also_o sometime_o happen_v even_o to_o the_o great_a master_n that_o be_v in_o any_o science_n whatsoever_o i_o shall_v as_o willing_o also_o yield_v to_o you_o if_o you_o desire_v it_o that_o they_o have_v sometime_o do_v these_o thing_n purposely_o let_v fall_n here_o and_o there_o throughout_o their_o write_n such_o little_a slip_n from_o their_o pen_n sport_o and_o by_o way_n of_o recreation_n or_o else_o out_o of_o a_o design_n of_o exercise_v our_o wit_n but_o certain_o whatsoever_o the_o reason_n be_v see_v that_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o use_v any_o more_o either_o care_n or_o diligence_n in_o the_o compose_n of_o their_o book_n we_o may_v very_o well_o and_o indeed_o we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o they_o have_v never_o any_o intention_n that_o these_o book_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v our_o judge_n these_o innocent_a
