that_o even_o according_a to_o your_o own_o idea_n this_o also_o be_v not_o any_o matter_n concern_v which_o you_o can_v give_v a_o relaxation_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o peace_n of_o many_o other_o

unto_o the_o holy_a see_v for_o so_o you_o call_v that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o see_v of_o rome_n but_o we_o beseech_v you_o sir_n that_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o consult_v your_o own_o understanding_n and_o judgement_n thereupon_o a_o assembly_n of_o faithful_a person_n situate_v at_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o world_n who_o have_v never_o hear_v talk_n of_o a_o pope_n and_o who_o want_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o may_v they_o not_o for_o all_o that_o be_v very_o good_a christian_n still_o consult_v the_o ecclesiastical_a history_n be_v that_o adherence_n to_o the_o

the_o roman_a see_v that_o the_o church_n of_o europe_n at_o this_o day_n have_v when_o there_o be_v no_o pope_n at_o all_o in_o the_o western_a church_n do_v it_o therefore_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o church_n that_o time_n have_v be_v see_v wherein_o there_o be_v not_o any_o pope_n during_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n for_o so_o long_o do_v the_o great_a schism_n of_o the_o west_n continue_v there_o be_v two_o pope_n to_o be_v see_v at_o one_o time_n and_o some_o time_n no_o less_o than_o three_o and_o all_o those_o pope_n have_v their_o several_a intrigue_n to_o spin_v out_o that_o

that_o time_n for_o if_o they_o have_v be_v both_o of_o they_o true_a pope_n the_o church_n must_v have_v have_v two_o head_n if_o one_o of_o they_o have_v be_v the_o true_a pope_n and_o the_o other_o a_o false_a than_o all_o the_o latin_n which_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o the_o antipope_n must_v have_v be_v damn_v in_o case_n that_o adherence_n unto_o the_o true_a pope_n be_v

and_o yet_o that_o can_v never_o be_v unless_o that_o adherence_n to_o the_o holy_a see_v be_v not_o essential_a unto_o christianity_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v sir_n see_v that_o you_o have_v define_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o infallible_a from_o whence_o shall_v proceed_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o adherence_n unto_o a_o head_n which_o may_v lead_v man_n into_o error_n see_v that_o the_o council_n can_v depose_v pope_n why_o can_v it_o not_o also_o remove_v this_o burden_n if_o the_o state_n of_o a_o kingdom_n have_v the_o power_n to_o depose_v a_o king_n they_o have_v also_o the_o power_n to_o change_v the_o form_n of_o government_n they_o be_v master_n of_o the_o law_n and_o can_v change_v they_o too_o we_o can_v add_v divers_a other_o consideration_n but_o these_o do_v seem_v unto_o we_o sufficient_a to_o make_v you_o comprehend_v that_o according_a unto_o your_o own_o idea_n adherence_n to_o the_o holy_a see_v can_v be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o christianity_n and_o that_o therefore_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v it_o amiss_o that_o we_o do_v conjure_v you_o to_o give_v a_o relaxation_n in_o that_o point_n you_o will_v tell_v we_o undoubted_o just_a as_o we_o late_o tell_v you_o that_o whether_o it_o be_v reason_n or_o pre-occupation_n a_o fanatical_a conceit_n or_o solid_a judgement_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v yet_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n the_o adoration_n of_o the_o eucharist_n a_o adherence_n to_o the_o holy_a see_v etc._n etc._n be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o christianity_n and_o therefore_o according_a unto_o your_o principle_n you_o have_v no_o right_a to_o solicit_v we_o to_o give_v ourselves_o any_o liberty_n therein_o it_o be_v not_o honest_a to_o require_v people_n to_o renounce_v thing_n which_o be_v in_o their_o opinion_n of_o a_o sovereign_a necessity_n give_v we_o therefore_o leave_v sir_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o be_v mistake_v you_o say_v that_o you_o do_v judge_v this_o to_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n perhaps_o you_o think_v that_o you_o do_v believe_v so_o and_o undoubted_o people_n of_o a_o ordinary_a discernment_n among_o you_o be_v of_o that_o judgement_n but_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o you_o will_v plain_o perceive_v and_o evident_o see_v in_o your_o own_o heart_n whenever_o you_o shall_v be_v please_v to_o consult_v it_o without_o passion_n that_o the_o idea_n of_o christianity_n do_v not_o formal_o include_v in_o it_o either_o the_o necessity_n of_o any_o other_o sacrifice_n than_o that_o of_o the_o cross_n nor_o of_o any_o other_o adoration_n than_o that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o heaven_n nor_o of_o any_o other_o adherence_n but_o unto_o the_o supreme_a head_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o

to_o it_o we_o find_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v no_o way_n ally_v unto_o the_o original_a idea_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o do_v not_o at_o all_o flow_n from_o our_o principle_n our_o three_o principle_n be_v this_o that_o when_o the_o question_n be_v about_o a_o thing_n the_o belief_n or_o the_o practice_n whereof_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v mortal_a to_o one_o of_o the_o two_o party_n and_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n unto_o the_o other_o christian_a charity_n and_o prudence_n do_v require_v that_o the_o party_n which_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o that_o doctrine_n or_o that_o worship_n as_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n shall_v abondon_v it_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o peace_n and_o sacrifice_v it_o unto_o the_o other_o party_n which_o have_v a_o invincible_a horror_n for_o it_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o any_o wise_a person_n can_v contest_v this_o principle_n which_o if_o you_o will_v admit_v it_o will_v open_v you_o a_o door_n to_o avoid_v the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o difficulty_n which_o put_v a_o obstacle_n to_o our_o reunion_n let_v we_o begin_v with_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n you_o know_v sir_n that_o that_o do_v

not_o take_v away_o it_o do_v put_v a_o unsurmountable_a obstacle_n to_o the_o reunion_n for_o when_o all_o be_v do_v we_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o in_o any_o fashion_n in_o the_o world_n to_o bring_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o creature_n into_o the_o divine_a service_n if_o possible_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n and_o that_o you_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n on_o your_o side_n yet_o remember_v sir_n that_o some_o regard_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v have_v unto_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o weak_a brethren_n and_o all_o that_o possible_o can_v must_v be_v
