name_n of_o jesus_n the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n again_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n and_o one_o truth_n whereas_o there_o be_v many_o error_n and_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n in_o all_o dress_n even_o that_o of_o christian_a religion_n now_o these_o will_v all_o plead_v as_o strong_o for_o toleration_n and_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n as_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o upon_o my_o lord_n hypothesis_n will_v have_v as_o undoubted_a a_o right_n to_o it_o so_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n must_v be_v suffer_v to_o continue_v in_o damnable_a error_n and_o heresy_n which_o they_o call_v religion_n and_o no_o person_n under_o penalty_n of_o be_v guilty_a of_o one_o of_o the_o great_a crime_n and_o be_v antichristian_a must_v punish_v they_o for_o their_o blasphemous_a tenant_n or_o charitable_o endeavour_v by_o the_o fear_n and_o terror_n of_o humane_a law_n and_o penalty_n as_o well_o as_o

natural_o bind_v up_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o men._n now_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o it_o must_v if_o we_o believe_v every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v true_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v but_o by_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n by_o supernatural_a revelation_n and_o that_o they_o must_v all_o be_v damn_v who_o believe_v a_o lie_n that_o there_o be_v

endeavour_v to_o stop_v their_o career_n when_o we_o see_v they_o mount_v upon_o the_o black_a and_o most_o furious_a steed_n of_o damnable_a error_n and_o heresy_n will_v his_o grace_n think_v it_o
