say_v to_o have_v be_v confirm_v and_o strengthen_v in_o that_o same_o religion_n by_o the_o same_o word_n very_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o popery_n be_v begin_v increase_v and_o perfect_v not_o by_o that_o word_n but_o by_o tradition_n only_o and_o doctrine_n of_o man_n the_o more_o man_n be_v pure_o instruct_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o more_o they_o hear_v &_o consider_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o further_a be_v they_o from_o all_o popery_n the_o more_o they_o dislike_v and_o abhor_v the_o same_o again_o the_o less_o man_n be_v acquaint_v with_o

strengthen_v yea_o rather_o harden_v in_o all_o popery_n this_o be_v most_o evident_a first_o because_o as_o the_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n decay_v in_o the_o world_n so_o popery_n grow_v and_o increase_v second_o because_o since_o the_o sincere_a preach_n of_o this_o word_n have_v be_v again_o reviue_v in_o these_o latter_a time_n the_o more_o have_v popery_n waste_v and_o

three_o the_o same_o be_v manifest_a by_o diverse_a example_n of_o place_n and_o person_n in_o our_o own_o land_n for_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v most_o plentiful_o and_o true_o preach_v there_o be_v few_o papist_n and_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v least_o preach_v there_o be_v the_o great_a number_n of_o papist_n some_o place_n which_o be_v most_o popish_a of_o all_o the_o country_n where_o they_o be_v before_o they_o have_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v now_o sithence_o that_o god_n in_o mercy_n have_v vouchsafe_v the_o same_o unto_o they_o most_o free_a of_o popery_n &_o

the_o mist_n before_o the_o sun_n and_o now_o i_o think_v it_o be_v less_o note_v for_o popery_n than_o any_o other_o place_n especial_o then_o any_o place_n which_o have_v not_o have_v the_o word_n

the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v unto_o they_o or_o that_o have_v hear_v it_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o it_o and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o many_o be_v so_o obstinate_a in_o popery_n be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v draw_v to_o hear_v that_o word_n of_o god_n neither_o yet_o to_o read_v it_o true_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o if_o it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o give_v
