of_o true_a religion_n heresy_n schism_n toleration_n and_o what_o best_a mean_n may_v be_v use_v against_o the_o growth_n of_o popery_n the_o author_n j._n m._n london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1673._o of_o true_a religion_n heresy_n schism_n and_o toleration_n it_o be_v unknown_a to_o no_o man_n who_o know_v aught_o of_o concernment_n among_o we_o that_o the_o increase_n of_o popery_n be_v at_o this_o day_n no_o small_a trouble_n and_o offence_n to_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o rejoice_v of_o all_o good_a man_n that_o it_o be_v so_o the_o more_o their_o rejoice_v that_o god_n have_v give_v a_o heart_n to_o the_o people_n to_o remember_v still_o their_o great_a and_o happy_a deliverance_n from_o popish_a thraldom_n and_o to_o esteem_v so_o high_o the_o

and_o such_o manner_n of_o dispute_n with_o they_o to_o learned_a man_n be_v useful_a and_o very_a commendable_a but_o i_o shall_v insist_v now_o on_o what_o be_v plain_o to_o common_a apprehension_n and_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v without_o long_a introduction_n true_a religion_n be_v the_o true_a worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n learn_v and_o believe_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o no_o man_n or_o angel_n can_v know_v how_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v and_o serve_v unless_o god_n reveal_v it_o he_o have_v reveal_v and_o teach_v it_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o

to_o that_o of_o st._n paul_n though_o we_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o than_o that_o which_o we_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o let_v he_o be_v

that_o be_v to_o believe_v though_o as_o the_o church_n believe_v against_o or_o without_o express_a authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o if_o all_o protestant_n as_o universal_o as_o they_o hold_v these_o two_o principle_n so_o attentive_o and_o religious_o will_v observe_v they_o they_o will_v avoid_v and_o cut_v off_o many_o debate_n and_o contention_n schism_n and_o persecution_n which_o too_o oft_o have_v be_v among_o they_o and_o more_o firm_o unite_v against_o the_o common_a adversary_n for_o hence_o it_o direct_o follow_v that_o no_o true_a protestant_n can_v persecute_v or_o not_o tolerate_v his_o fellow_n protestant_n though_o dissent_v from_o he_o in_o some_o opinion_n but_o he_o must_v flat_o deny_v and_o renounce_v these_o two_o his_o own_o main_a principle_n whereon_o true_a religion_n be_v found_v while_o he_o compel_v his_o brother_n from_o that_o which_o he_o believe_v as_o the_o manifest_a word_n of_o god_n to_o a_o implicit_a faith_n which_o he_o
