with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o your_o neighbour_n as_o yourselves_o and_o if_o you_o persevere_v herein_o unto_o the_o end_n depend_v upon_o the_o merit_n and_o mediation_n of_o christ_n for_o your_o pardon_n and_o acceptance_n you_o shall_v be_v save_v which_o party_n of_o protestant_n soever_o you_o side_n with_o or_o if_o you_o never_o trouble_v yourselves_o with_o the_o dispute_n or_o contest_v among_o they_o your_o be_v of_o one_o opinion_n or_o other_o as_o to_o these_o small_a matter_n can_v possible_o hinder_v your_o eternal_a salvation_n at_o last_o or_o your_o comfortable_a walk_v with_o god_n here_o so_o you_o conscientious_o mind_v the_o substance_n of_o religion_n wherein_o all_o be_v agree_v for_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n i_o pray_v you_o to_o remember_v it_o that_o no_o one_o party_n of_o protestant_n be_v so_o in_o the_o right_a as_o to_o christian_a religion_n that_o the_o other_o be_v damning_o wrong_a for_o the_o controversy_n among_o they_o be_v not_o about_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n in_o these_o they_o be_v all_o agree_v wherefore_o it_o be_v undoubted_o certain_a that_o a_o churchman_n may_v be_v a_o holy_a man_n and_o be_v save_v a_o dissenter_n of_o one_o sort_n or_o another_o whether_o presbyterian_a independent_a or_o anabaptist_n may_v be_v a_o holy_a man_n and_o be_v save_v yea_o they_o will_v be_v such_o infallible_o if_o they_o live_v the_o religion_n they_o profess_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o heaven_n be_v people_v with_o all_o these_o though_o there_o they_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n wherefore_o the_o question_n be_v not_o which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o heaven_n by_o church_n or_o by_o meet_v if_o it_o be_v i_o will_v bold_o say_v either_o be_v the_o way_n but_o the_o question_n
