the_o priest_n to_o throw_v themselves_o down_o from_o steep_a rock_n and_o break_v their_o neck_n and_o all_o to_o arrive_v the_o soon_o to_o the_o happiness_n of_o another_o world_n etc._n etc._n i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v thingsmore_o contrary_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n than_o these_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v these_o doctrine_n be_v propogate_v daily_o without_o any_o force_n of_o arm_n only_o by_o example_n and_o persuasion_n to_o be_v sure_a without_o any_o miracle_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o do_v not_o prove_v their_o religion_n to_o be_v divine_a it_o be_v a_o dictate_v of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v straight_o and_o therefore_o people_n that_o be_v religious_o incline_v be_v easy_o win_v over_o to_o those_o man_n who_o they_o see_v exercise_v such_o severity_n upon_o themselves_o to_o conclude_v madam_n when_o all_o be_v do_v what_o the_o true_a church_n be_v must_v be_v try_v by_o the_o write_n of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o apostle_n we_o see_v that_o even_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n corruption_n creep_v into_o the_o church_n witness_v the_o church_n of_o corinth_n galatia_n and_o colosse_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n begin_v even_o then_o to_o be_v pervert_v and_o mingle_v with_o idle_a and_o foolish_a opinion_n and_o practice_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o after_o the_o apostle_n decease_n the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o same_o fate_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o standard_n or_o touch_n stone_n leave_v whereby_o the_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n of_o a_o church_n can_v be_v try_v and_o we_o must_v needs_o think_v so_o well_o of_o god_n providence_n that_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o church_n without_o some_o rule_n to_o rectify_v their_o error_n by_o in_o case_n she_o shall_v be_v infect_v with_o any_o it_o must_v be_v the_o primitive_a institution_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o that_o church_n as_o i_o say_v before_o which_o teach_v thing_n that_o approach_v near_o to_o that_o primitive_a institution_n must_v be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o madam_n do_v but_o once_o more_o for_o your_o

sense_n of_o any_o of_o these_o doctrine_n by_o scripture_n view_v the_o stream_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o search_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n like_o these_o doctrine_n in_o it_o why_o will_v you_o make_v your_o reason_n a_o slave_n to_o your_o priest_n magisterial_a sentence_n how_o can_v you_o answer_v it_o to_o god_n that_o you_o do_v not_o improve_v your_o reason_n more_o what_o have_v you_o your_o reason_n for_o but_o to_o judge_v what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o what_o be_v not_o be_v not_o this_o act_n like_o a_o creature_n void_a of_o reason_n to_o be_v guide_v altogether_o by_o what_o a_o few_o blind_a guide_n say_v to_o you_o without_o inquire_v at_o the_o law_n and_o testimony_n whether_o thing_n be_v so_o as_o they_o say_v or_o no_o wonderful_a stnpidity_n i_o stand_v amaze_v at_o it_o it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o seem_a holiness_n of_o those_o priest_n you_o converse_v withal_o that_o make_v the_o church_n you_o be_v in_o a_o true_a church_n there_o be_v no_o sect_n in_o the_o world_n but_o when_o they_o be_v under_o a_o cloud_n necessity_n and_o the_o discouragement_n they_o be_v under_o and_o their_o desire_n to_o make_v

make_v every_o religion_n true_a and_o divine_a a_o outward_a show_n of_o piety_n be_v the_o only_a way_n of_o propagate_a any_o religion_n the_o devil_n himself_o can_v not_o propagate_v heathenism_n and_o idolatry_n but_o by_o the_o preten_v zeal_n and_o piety_n and_o abstinence_n and_o mortification_n of_o apollonius_n tyaneus_n who_o yet_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o wizard_n and_o conjurer_n i_o make_v no_o application_n to_o any_o particular_a priest_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o man_n may_v be_v in_o great_a error_n and_o be_v very_o zealous_a for_o their_o error_n and_o seem_o very_a pious_a in_o their_o zeal_n and_o when_o their_o error_n be_v not_o very_o wilful_a and_o destroy_v not_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v they_o may_v find_v mercy_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n i_o grant_v there_o be_v a_o great_a show_n of_o outward_a piety_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n very_o dazzle_v and_o very_o move_v but_o the_o great_a danger_n lie_v here_o that_o the_o worship_n they_o give_v to_o god_n with_o one_o hand_n they_o strike_v and_o pull_v down_o with_o the_o other_o i_o know_v too_o well_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o church_n and_o a_o heathen_a that_o shall_v come_v into_o their_o temple_n beyond_o sea_n will_v very_o believe_v that_o they_o worship_v a_o multiplicity_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o he_o whatever_o their_o pretension_n may_v be_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v not_o what_o people_n say_v so_o much_o as_o what_o they_o do_v that_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o and_o though_o you_o shall_v ten_o thousand_o time_n protest_v that_o you_o worship_n and_o adore_v god_n alone_o yet_o while_o god_n see_v you_o adore_v the_o virgin_n mary_n with_o as_o great_a zeal_n and_o reverence_n as_o you_o do_v he_o pray_v to_o she_o often_o than_o you_o do_v to_o he_o make_v as_o many_o bow_n to_o she_o and_o
