have_v grant_v the_o principle_n lay_v down_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o first_o principle_n be_v that_o which_o the_o church_n herself_o first_o inquire_v into_o even_o a_o providential_a

withal_o so_o take_v with_o the_o vulgar_a i_o doubt_v it_o will_v concern_v i_o even_o in_o prudence_n to_o crave_v your_o grace_n patience_n for_o a_o brief_a apology_n omit_v therefore_o my_o own_o

conceive_v it_o undeniable_a that_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n be_v abundant_o sufficient_a to_o compensate_a the_o demerit_n of_o my_o person_n and_o for_o my_o part_n so_o that_o the_o cause_n may_v not_o be_v prejudice_v i_o shall_v very_o hearty_o submit_v the_o choice_n of_o instrument_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n himself_o beside_o further_a that_o it_o be_v extreme_o unreasonable_a to_o urge_v personal_a demerit_n against_o a_o cause_n indeed_o if_o the_o cause_n have_v be_v recommend_v on_o personal_a regard_n the_o disparagement_n of_o the_o person_n may_v have_v invalidate_v such_o a_o recommendation_n but_o consider_v that_o nothing_o here_o be_v pretend_v but_o the_o solidity_n of_o the_o reason_n submit_v to_o a_o impartial_a examination_n none_o can_v say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o weak_a for_o be_v propound_v by_o a_o unworthy_a person_n neither_o indeed_o be_v the_o supposal_n true_a that_o even_o in_o point_n of_o authority_n any_o thing_n
