all_o this_o i_o follow_v my_o own_o private_a reason_n in_o my_o particular_a point_n until_o a_o strong_a reason_n i_o mean_v the_o joint_n and_o common_a reason_n of_o mankind_n and_o my_o conscience_n too_o daily_o dictate_v that_o my_o judgement_n in_o particular_a case_n may_v fail_v that_o all_o have_v not_o equal_a strength_n that_o god_n therefore_o have_v not_o leave_v the_o

determine_v to_o take_v this_o most_o reasonable_a course_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o begin_v to_o wonder_v how_o yourselves_o though_o most_o learned_a most_o reasonable_a and_o most_o pious_a man_n can_v be_v satisfy_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o your_o private_a reason_n if_o there_o may_v be_v find_v any_o legal_a supreme_a judge_n which_o may_v ultimate_o and_o authoritative_o guide_v and_o direct_v you_o pardon_v i_o i_o do_v not_o presume_v to_o measure_v my_o reason_n against_o the_o mean_a among_o you_o for_o i_o question_v not_o but_o you_o will_v err_v much_o less_o than_o i_o but_o yet_o lest_o your_o own_o shall_v err_v at_o all_o methinks_v it_o be_v safe_a and_o by_o consequence_n most_o reasonable_a to_o seek_v some_o authority_n if_o any_o such_o there_o be_v under_o which_o you_o may_v be_v secure_v from_o all_o error_n at_o least_o as_o far_o as_o humane_a nature_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o for_o my_o part_n my_o reason_n and_o conscience_n force_v i_o to_o take_v that_o method_n and_o i_o resolve_v either_o to_o find_v that_o authority_n and_o submit_v to_o it_o or_o keep_v to_o my_o own_o principle_n how_o erroneous_a soever_o they_o may_v be_v esteem_v by_o other_o my_o first_o enquiry_n after_o this_o authority_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o though_o you_o have_v often_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v not_o there_o yet_o i_o be_v more_o incline_v to_o suspect_v your_o modesty_n than_o condemn_v your_o want_n of_o prudence_n in_o pretend_v to_o subsist_v secure_o without_o it_o but_o when_o i_o have_v again_o examine_v the_o holy_a scripture_n together_o with_o the_o best_a record_n and_o history_n concern_v your_o legal_a title_n to_o this_o supreme_a jurisdiction_n i_o find_v indeed_o you_o have_v reason_n and_o be_v very_o ingenuous_a in_o disow_v what_o do_v not_o of_o right_a belong_v unto_o you_o for_o if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n enjoy_v this_o power_n by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n holland_z denmark_n swedeland_n france_n italy_n and_o spain_n will_v have_v the_o same_o title_n to_o it_o as_o yourselves_o nay_o perhaps_o turk_n and_o pagan_n but_o my_o reason_n tell_v i_o from_o the_o sad_a effect_n which_o we_o daily_o see_v that_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v most_o contrary_a to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o one_o holy_a catholic_n and_o apostolic_a church_n i_o then_o recollect_v how_o you_o have_v often_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n can_v never_o err_v but_o that_o it_o will_v always_o hold_v the_o purity_n of_o faith_n uncorrupt_a i_o remember_v then_o to_o have_v ask_v of_o your_o reverence_n where_o this_o catholic_a church_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o you_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v disperse_v all_o over_o the_o christian_a world_n i_o be_v trouble_v that_o your_o answer_n be_v so_o wide_a however_o i_o resolve_v to_o search_v and_o first_o i_o inquire_v in_o the_o roman_a church_n indeed_o they_o assure_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v there_o find_v what_o i_o look_v for_o it_o be_v true_a i_o find_v they_o all_o of_o one_o mind_n in_o necessary_n but_o when_o i_o examine_v their_o doctrine_n i_o perceive_v as_o you_o have_v often_o declare_v that_o if_o you_o be_v true_a there_o be_v be_v much_o corrupt_a or_o if_o they_o dissemble_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v under_o as_o great_a a_o condemnation_n among_o they_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n then_o i_o go_v into_o the_o greek_a church_n but_o find_v there_o also_o the_o same_o objection_n and_o difficulty_n in_o a_o word_n i_o go_v through_o the_o asian_a and_o african_a church_n the_o denmark_n swedeland_n lutheran_n and_o socinian_n church_n yet_o find_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n or_o the_o true_a faith_n according_a to_o your_o standard_n notorious_o corrupt_v i_o name_v not_o holland_n because_o among_o they_o i_o see_v such_o a_o medley_n of_o faith_n that_o it_o look_v to_o i_o as_o babel_n may_v have_v do_v when_o god_n confound_v their_o language_n but_o certain_o if_o the_o catholic_a doctrine_n have_v be_v practise_v in_o those_o part_n where_o i_o have_v be_v holland_n sure_o of_o any_o nation_n will_v best_o have_v represent_v the_o universal_a church_n but_o believe_v i_o father_n it_o must_v then_o have_v quit_v its_o title_n of_o unity_n and_o holiness_n except_o unity_n can_v consist_v with_o division_n or_o holiness_n with_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n at_o last_o i_o return_v to_o yourselves_o and_o acquaint_v you_o how_o unsuccessful_a my_o journey_n have_v be_v you_o still_o reply_v that_o there_o be_v undoubted_o a_o catholic_a church_n militant_a upon_o earth_n and_o that_o this_o church_n do_v also_o hold_v the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n uncorrupt_a but_o withal_o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a it_o shall_v be_v visible_a quote_v at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o complaint_n of_o elijah_n that_o he_o only_o he_o be_v leave_v to_o who_o god_n answer_v that_o he_o have_v seven_o thousand_o leave_v in_o israel_n unknown_a to_o elijah_n who_o have_v not_o bend_v the_o knee_n to_o baal_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n true_o father_n may_v it_o not_o displease_v you_o i_o begin_v to_o think_v that_o you_o have_v trifle_v with_o i_o all_o this_o while_n and_o please_v yourselves_o to_o send_v i_o of_o a_o april_n errand_n for_o to_o look_v for_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v invisible_a be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o foolish_a message_n perceive_v that_o you_o have_v not_o use_v i_o kind_o i_o resolve_v to_o set_v out_o once_o more_o upon_o my_o own_o strength_n especial_o since_o i_o believe_v with_o you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o unerring_a catholic_a church_n and_o more_o than_o you_o that_o this_o church_n be_v certain_o and_o easy_o visible_a this_o my_o belief_n be_v also_o the_o more_o confirm_v when_o i_o have_v well_o consider_v the_o story_n of_o elijah_n for_o i_o find_v that_o this_o defection_n and_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n be_v in_o israel_n only_o a_o rebellious_a kingdom_n separate_v from_o the_o choose_a tribe_n of_o judah_n god_n know_v how_o like_o our_o case_n in_o england_n but_o in_o jerusalem_n god_n have_v a_o public_a temple_n a_o public_a high_a priest_n and_o public_a true_a worshipper_n and_o so_o they_o continue_v except_o some_o little_a time_n they_o be_v punish_v with_o captivity_n until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n i_o make_v my_o first_o step_n as_o i_o have_v do_v before_o into_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o indeed_o i_o there_o find_v all_o the_o mark_n and_o sign_n of_o a_o true_a catholic_a church_n as_o 1._o universality_n and_o
