which_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v make_v bless_v but_o then_o i_o demand_v one_a with_o what_o spectacle_n do_v these_o man_n who_o thus_o answer_n see_v this_o invisible_a religion_n or_o how_o do_v they_o know_v there_o be_v any_o such_o in_o the_o world_n what_o text_n of_o the_o bible_n what_o history_n make_v mention_v thereof_o 2_o who_o be_v the_o preacher_n of_o this_o

what_o foolish_a heretic_n may_v not_o by_o thus_o answer_v maintain_v that_o his_o devise_n be_v ever_o extant_a though_o invisible_o and_o that_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o they_o have_v be_v bless_v yet_o invisible_o this_o answer_n then_o be_v too_o too_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a will_v other_o protestant_n hope_v to_o evade_v by_o say_v that_o although_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n grow_v by_o degree_n to_o be_v full_a of_o error_n and_o superstition_n yet_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v save_v thereby_o and_o thereby_o be_v make_v true_o bless_v in_o

how_o can_v god_n draw_v man_n by_o his_o heavenly_a grace_n to_o believe_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v why_o do_v protestant_n at_o the_o first_o revolt_n from_o it_o or_o how_o dare_v they_o late_o

bless_v in_o jesus_n i_o believe_v not_o second_o i_o demand_v by_o what_o text_n of_o scripture_n or_o light_n of_o reason_n will_v protestant_n maintain_v that_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n and_o special_a operation_n can_v draw_v man_n to_o believe_v a_o false_a and_o superstitious_a religion_n a_o religion_n that_o have_v so_o great_a need_n of_o reform_v that_o the_o world_n be_v to_o be_v turn_v up-side_n down_o and_o infinite_a tumult_n and_o bloody_a broil_n to_o be_v set_v a_o foot_n rather_o than_o not_o to_o undertake_v it_o if_o god_n can_v draw_v man_n by_o his_o grace_n can_v move_v and_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o embrace_v and_o believe_v error_n and_o superstition_n or_o religion_n that_o be_v erroneous_a and_o superstitious_a how_o be_v he_o not_o in_o this_o respect_n as_o bad_a as_o the_o devil_n or_o upon_o what_o firm_a ground_n can_v we_o maintain_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o moses_n the_o religion_n of_o jesus_n be_v pure_a and_o holy_a by_o say_v and_o

demand_v if_o jesus_n be_v the_o true_a messiah_n and_o that_o god_n do_v intend_v to_o draw_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o to_o make_v they_o bless_v by_o he_o be_v he_o not_o able_a to_o provide_v himself_o of_o a_o true_a holy_a and_o divine_a religion_n to_o which_o with_o his_o honour_n he_o may_v draw_v they_o but_o must_v he_o needs_o make_v use_n of_o a_o false_a blind_a superstitious_a one_o to_o the_o extreme_a disgrace_n of_o himself_o these_o answer_n then_o be_v absurd_a and_o far_o from_o satisfy_v prudent_a man_n to_o maintain_v that_o

the_o promise_a blessing_n if_o this_o they_o will_v do_v they_o shall_v do_v like_o good_a christian_n but_o then_o they_o must_v name_v a_o divine_a pure_a and_o illustrious_a religion_n different_a

the_o appendix_n whether_o the_o apostle_n be_v protestant_n or_o no._n protestant's_n general_o conceive_v and_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n preach_v and_o plant_v in_o
