your_o own_o conscience_n we_o will_v as_o soon_o deliver_v our_o reason_n at_o the_o door_n of_o a_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o i_o be_o not_o sure_a that_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o integrity_n

at_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n but_o peace_n of_o mind_n unless_o it_o be_v well_o ground_v will_v avail_v little_a and_o because_o transient_a discourse_n many_o time_n have_v little_a

and_o be_o sorry_a to_o find_v a_o change_n first_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v plain_o forbid_v the_o resistance_n of_o authority_n second_o that_o though_o our_o religion_n be_v

of_o scripture_n have_v leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n which_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v not_o because_o the_o government_n and_o peace_n of_o (null)_o society_n can_v not_o well_o subsist_v upon_o these_o term_n three_o your_o lordship_n opinion_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o declare_a doctrine_n of_o all_o protestant_a church_n and_o though_o some_o particular_a person_n have_v teach_v

agree_v with_o a_o avow_v assert_v of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n to_o go_v contrary_a to_o the_o general_a doctrine_n of_o protestant_n my_o end_n in_o this_o be_v to_o convince_v your_o

your_o error_n by_o a_o penitent_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o to_o god_n and_o man_n you_o will_v not_o only_o obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o god_n but_o prevent_v a_o mighty_a scandal_n to_o the_o
