A19355 One God, one fayth.

from_o hence_o it_o may_v infallible_o be_v conclude_v that_o sin_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v and_o that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o retribution_n of_o punishment_n for_o our_o offence_n act_v in_o this_o world_n since_o otherwise_o it_o will_v follow_v god_n shall_v insert_v in_o man_n soul_n idle_o vain_o and_o as_o direct_v to_o no_o end_n certain_a natural_a impression_n

now_o to_o apply_v this_o we_o find_v both_o by_o history_n and_o by_o experience_n that_o diverse_a zealous_a &_o fervent_a professor_n of_o all_o religion_n whatsoever_o both_o true_a and_o false_a have_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o expose_v their_o life_n in_o defence_n of_o any_o impugn_a part_n or_o branch_n of_o their_o religion_n from_o which_o undaunted_a resolution_n of_o they_o we_o certain_o collect_v that_o this_o their_o constant_a determination_n of_o defend_v the_o least_o point_n of_o their_o religion_n proceed_v from_o a_o general_a instinct_n of_o god_n impress_v in_o
