A04211	Anno Domini 1616. A confession and protestation of the faith of certaine Christians in England holding it necessary to observe, & keepe all Christes true substantiall ordinances for his church visible and politicall (that is, indued with power of outward spirituall government) under the gospel; though the same doe differ from the common order of the land. Published for the clearing of the said Christian from the slaunder of schisme, and noveltie, and also of separation, & undutifullness to the magistrate, which their rash adversaries doe falsely cast upon them. Also, an humble petition to the K. Majestie for toleration therein.	Jacob, Henry, 1563-1624.	1616 (1616)	STC 14330; ESTC S120216	22,778	71

and_o to_o be_v short_a by_o experience_n we_o see_v too_o oft_o most_o evident_o they_o breed_v both_o a_o idle_a pastor_n &_o a_o ignorant_a &_o secure_a people_n therefore_o to_o follow_v herein_o

whence_o very_o we_o see_v it_o plain_a and_o we_o know_v well_o that_o not_o the_o talker_n nor_o disputer_n of_o christ_n will_n but_o the_o doer_n shall_v be_v save_v yea_o though_o man_n afflict_v
