dissensionem_fw-la &_o consensum_fw-la in_o vera_fw-la religione_fw-la firmandum_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o take_v away_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n and_o to_o establish_v a_o agreement_n in_o

of_o his_o descent_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o he_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v for_o first_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v always_o constant_o maintain_v a_o local_a descent_n though_o many_o which_o will_v be_v think_v her_o child_n the_o better_a to_o comply_v with_o calvin_n and_o some_o other_o divine_n of_o foreign_a nation_n have_v deviate_v in_o this_o point_n from_o the_o

be_v leave_v unto_o a_o latitude_n concern_v the_o cause_n time_n and_o manner_n of_o his_o descent_n as_o our_o author_n dream_n but_o because_o that_o passaage_n of_o st._n peter_n be_v capable_a

388.389_o fuller_n i_o can_v full_o concur_v with_o the_o animadvertor_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v constant_o maintain_v a_o local_a descent_n though_o no_o man_n have_v a_o high_a

to_o christ_n 2.27_o thou_o shall_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n i_o appeal_v whether_o these_o word_n import_v not_o a_o favour_n to_o all_o unprejudiced_a hearer_n which_o god_n do_v to_o his_o son_n bear_v this_o natural_a and_o unviolated_a sense_n that_o have_v god_n leave_v christ_n soul_n in_o hell_n his_o soul_n have_v be_v in_o a_o bad_a condition_n as_o be_v there_o in_o a_o
