we_o smooth_a thing_n prophesy_v deceit_n do_v the_o preacher_n never_o follow_v this_o bend_v of_o the_o people_n come_v i_o wish_v they_o will_v make_v a_o through_o examen_fw-la into_o themselves_o i_o fear_v they_o be_v frail_a be_v under_o temptation_n and_o yield_v to_o they_o sometime_o like_o other_o mortal_n where_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o division_n and_o different_a interest_n i_o suspect_v all_o these_o evil_a quality_n must_v have_v some_o access_n it_o be_v ever_o so_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o i_o apprehend_v it_o be_v from_o the_o ill_a direction_n of_o these_o our_o religion_n have_v suffer_v so_o much_o for_o my_o part_n i_o seldom_o hear_v any_o speak_v of_o popery_n now_o but_o present_o a_o sour_a and_o peevish_a temper_n appear_v against_o it_o and_o sober_a reason_n which_o ought_v to_o guide_v every_o christian_a in_o the_o concern_v of_o religion_n seem_v to_o be_v quite_o lay_v aside_o and_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o contention_n be_v more_o for_o a_o party_n than_o a_o zeal_n for_o truth_n which_o need_v not_o the_o assistance_n of_o these_o ill_a quality_n to_o defend_v or_o enlarge_v its_o possession_n but_o these_o be_v only_o the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o division_n which_o under_o the_o pretext_n of_o religion_n put_v man_n upon_o the_o most_o unwarrantable_a method_n both_o for_o secure_v themselves_o and_o defeat_v their_o neighbour_n and_o it_o be_v not_o we_o only_a that_o be_v sensible_a of_o these_o ill_a effect_n but_o other_o too_o and_o therefore_o let_v i_o here_o take_v occasion_n more_o solemn_o to_o complain_v that_o since_o the_o pretence_n to_o religion_n have_v tear_v christianity_n into_o party_n animosity_n and_o hatred_n have_v take_v the_o place_n of_o love_n and_o unity_n fear_n and_o jealousy_n have_v pass_v for_o solid_a reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o scarce_o any_o one_o body_n of_o christian_n have_v be_v know_v by_o another_o but_o under_o false_a colour_n and_o a_o base_a disguise_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o whilst_o few_o discover_v scarce_o any_o beauty_n and_o order_n but_o in_o their_o own_o communion_n and_o in_o all_o other_o there_o appear_v so_o much_o of_o the_o monster_n heat_n every_o where_o increase_n and_o man_n as_o fierce_o engage_v each_o other_o as_o if_o their_o opposite_n be_v nothing_o better_a than_o turk_n or_o infidel_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n which_o they_o so_o earnest_o contend_v for_o be_v lose_v by_o their_o uncharitable_a dissension_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o let_v every_o one_o consider_v in_o their_o several_a division_n and_o when_o they_o have_v be_v serious_a a_o while_n in_o this_o so_o lamentable_a a_o prospect_n and_o view_v the_o distract_a state_n of_o christian_n let_v they_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n of_o love_n one_o another_o and_o be_v you_o one_o as_o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o and_o if_o the_o sight_n do_v not_o move_v to_o compassion_n and_o engage_v as_o many_o as_o behold_v it_o to_o a_o zealous_a removal_n of_o these_o difference_n it_o be_v because_o these_o schism_n have_v destroy_v all_o charity_n and_o under_o a_o false_a gloss_n of_o godliness_n have_v teach_v man_n to_o forget_v their_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o their_o neighbour_n for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v experience_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o in_o man_n of_o all_o persuasion_n in_o regard_n to_o the_o religion_n i_o profess_v i_o have_v hear_v and_o see_v it_o rail_v at_o contemn_v set_v upon_o the_o same_o file_n with_o turcism_n and_o infidelity_n abandon_v even_o to_o the_o black_a hell_n and_o as_o many_o as_o profess_v it_o repute_v no_o better_a than_o madman_n or_o fool_n and_o not_o make_v the_o object_n so_o much_o of_o compassion_n and_o pity_n as_o of_o hatred_n and_o scorn_n this_o i_o say_v i_o have_v see_v with_o a_o confusion_n of_o spirit_n and_o deep_a resentment_n of_o soul_n and_o wonder_v how_o a_o religion_n by_o which_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v to_o love_n god_n and_o my_o neighbour_n and_o to_o perform_v all_o christian_a duty_n shall_v by_o other_o christian_n be_v render_v so_o black_a and_o odious_a and_o her_o doctrine_n so_o hellish_a and_o damnable_a but_o this_o be_v not_o long_o a_o mystery_n a_o little_a consideration_n soon_o discover_v that_o it_o be_v none_o of_o my_o religion_n be_v thus_o hot_o decry_v but_o a_o monster_n of_o iniquity_n set_v up_o under_o her_o name_n and_o that_o though_o her_o member_n be_v ridicule_v persecute_v and_o defame_a yet_o it_o be_v for_o doctrine_n they_o be_v never_o teach_v by_o she_o and_o for_o fact_n they_o be_v either_o not_o concern_v in_o or_o not_o approve_v and_o so_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o great_a disturbance_n of_o christianity_n this_o effacing_a its_o beauty_n this_o so_o wide_a a_o breach_n of_o charity_n this_o propagate_a of_o division_n this_o invert_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o teach_v man_n to_o hate_v instead_o of_o love_n one_o another_z be_v chief_o occasion_v by_o misunderstand_a by_o false_a dress_n counterfeit_a colour_n and_o imagine_a monster_n more_o than_o real_a one_o and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o shame_n to_o christendom_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v thus_o tear_v in_o piece_n for_o dream_n and_o fancy_n to_o have_v its_o peace_n break_v to_o fight_v with_o shadow_n and_o that_o reason_v man_n shall_v for_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n run_v down_o the_o most_o fundamental_a doctrine_n and_o command_n of_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v enough_o of_o this_o and_o it_o be_v time_n that_o as_o many_o as_o pretend_v to_o be_v follower_n of_o christ_n shall_v now_o set_v their_o hand_n to_o the_o recover_v his_o glory_n and_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o religion_n they_o profess_v that_o we_o who_o own_v ourselves_o oblige_v to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o one_o spirit_n to_o preserve_v a_o mutual_a peace_n and_o unity_n may_v be_v no_o long_o a_o scandal_n to_o atheist_n jew_n and_o turk_n and_o by_o our_o division_n overthrow_v that_o kingdom_n which_o we_o all_o zealous_o pretend_v to_o maintain_v since_o therefore_o the_o great_a occasion_n of_o this_o mischief_n be_v that_o christian_n know_v not_o one_o another_o that_o hence_o they_o raise_v to_o themselves_o adversary_n upon_o mistake_n and_o as_o fierce_o engage_v they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v real_a nothing_o can_v possible_o more_o contribute_v to_o the_o common_a peace_n and_o unity_n of_o christendom_n than_o that_o every_o division_n of_o pretender_n shall_v fair_o lay_v open_a the_o particular_n in_o
