which_o be_v go_v now_o be_v i_o believe_v contrary_a also_o to_o the_o meaning_n of_o st._n james_n their_o mistake_n i_o apprehend_v obvious_a who_o take_v st._n paul_n justification_n by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v all_o one_o as_o by_o faith_n only_o in_o the_o eighteen_o article_n likewise_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o judgement_n and_o so_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o composer_n that_o no_o man_n who_o be_v not_o convert_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n can_v be_v save_v and_o consequent_o that_o every_o heathen_a man_n in_o the_o world_n must_v perish_v for_o this_o be_v consonant_a to_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v not_o that_o faithful_o and_o keep_v it_o whole_a and_o undefiled_a be_v

offer_v some_o little_a light_n and_o argument_n for_o the_o salvability_n of_o some_o heathen_a in_o my_o book_n late_o come_v out_o entitle_v peaceable_a disquisition_n that_o will_v not_o or_o

to_o be_v the_o right_n i_o can_v believe_v no_o otherwise_o and_o i_o must_v have_v liberty_n therefore_o of_o some_o exception_n in_o these_o two_o article_n and_o perhaps_o in_o some_o other_o

the_o word_n of_o one_o of_o these_o article_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o the_o article_n without_o dispensation_n because_o i_o think_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o imposer_n to_o be_v more_o than_o the_o word_n come_v to_o i_o very_o think_v the_o composer_n of_o the_o article_n do_v believe_v that_o all_o heathen_a be_v exclude_v salvation_n yet_o do_v they_o proceed_v to_o their_o anathema_n here_o which_o they_o have_v in_o no_o other_o article_n with_o wary_a word_n which_o be_v not_o pronounce_v against_o any_o that_o say_v only_a some_o heathen_a may_v be_v save_v but_o against_o they_o

this_o be_v not_o indeed_o here_o or_o there_o my_o concern_n to_o pursue_v but_o that_o i_o have_v to_o observe_v to_o my_o present_a purpose_n be_v as_o i_o be_o say_v that_o though_o i_o know_v

to_o the_o judgement_n of_o

say_v it_o more_o than_o once_o not_o only_o in_o his_o public_a speech_n which_o may_v be_v think_v popular_a but_o in_o his_o private_a retirement_n upon_o apt_a occasion_n that_o he_o real_o

upon_o the_o occasion_n i_o know_v if_o he_o be_v not_o cordial_a in_o it_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v of_o another_o mind_n more_o late_o which_o it_o be_v a_o wickedness_n in_o we_o to_o think_v yet_o be_v that_o nothing_o as_o to_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o pass_v nay_o that_o i_o may_v cut_v off_o this_o very_a suggestion_n also_o duke_n laudardale_n in_o his_o speech_n to_o the_o convention_n of_o estate_n at_o edinburgh_n now_o must_v late_o july_n 1678._o have_v these_o word_n majesty_n have_v these_o eighteen_o year_n in_o all_o his_o kingdom_n

i_o shall_v not_o i_o must_v confess_v inculcate_v this_o thus_o much_o but_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o oxford-oath_n and_o that_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o man_n be_v indeed_o as_o tender_v a_o

for_o the_o sake_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o here_o i_o must_v advance_v a_o little_a in_o this_o clause_n i_o think_v it_o enough_o for_o a_o licence_n to_o preach_v to_o subscribe_v the_o same_o with_o the_o mention_a limitation_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v find_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o take_v upon_o i_o a_o parochial_a charge_n it_o be_v more_o fit_a and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o work_n to_o
