of_o this_o i_o maintain_v that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a there_o be_v but_o two_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n one_o who_o doctrine_n be_v well_o found_v on_o scripture_n and_o reason_n but_o

the_o contrary_a the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o other_o be_v abominable_a contrary_a to_o scripture_n and_o good_a sense_n but_o its_o moral_a practice_n good_a and_o its_o ecclesiastical_a government_n

no_o man_n of_o sense_n but_o will_v confess_v the_o second_o religion_n will_v deserve_v the_o protection_n of_o the_o state_n better_o than_o the_o first_o so_o that_o if_o the_o protestant_n shall_v become_v idolater_n and_o heretic_n &_o teach_v transubstantiation_n purgatory_n the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n adoration_n of_o the_o half_a of_o one_o of_o the_o two_o sacrament_n and_o

that_o the_o church_n and_o religion_n of_o rome_n be_v yet_o more_o abominable_a by_o their_o tyranny_n and_o moral_n than_o by_o their_o idolatry_n and_o error_n the_o pope_n and_o his_o clergy_n

regard_n of_o their_o speculative_a impiety_n and_o worship_n but_o i_o confess_v that_o the_o one_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o horrible_a tyranny_n religion_n can_v long_o remain_v pure_a in_o doctrine_n and_o where_o the_o opinion_n be_v so_o monstrous_a their_o morality_n and_o church-government_n must_v needs_o become_v detestable_a and_o tend_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o state_n i_o confess_v that_o in_o relation_n to_o god_n it_o be_v equal_o impossible_a according_a to_o scripture_n for_o private_a idolater_n and_o those_o that_o practise_v a_o

and_o that_o there_o be_v ill_a man_n among_o the_o orthodox_n who_o deserve_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o or_o chastise_v severe_o as_o murderer_n fornicator_n robber_n etc._n etc._n as_o to_o sovereign_n and_o all_o magistrate_n the_o good_a of_o the_o state_n be_v always_o prefer_v to_o that_o of_o the_o church_n as_o nature_n in_o order_n precede_v grace_n and_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n that_o of_o faith_n for_o the_o church_n can_v subsist_v without_o the_o state_n but_o the_o state_n can_v subsist_v well_o enough_o without_o the_o church_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o disturber_n of_o
