molinos_n and_o their_o opponent_n and_o be_v it_o not_o for_o fear_v of_o fire_n and_o prison_n and_o the_o inquisition_n some_o of_o these_o will_v break_v out_o into_o open_a war_n against_o

the_o schismatic_a and_o indeed_o that_o which_o justify_v the_o protestant_a church_n separation_n from_o she_o or_o break_v peace_n and_o communion_n with_o she_o be_v 1._o because_o she_o will_v impose_v that_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n never_o impose_v 2._o because_o she_o have_v turn_v the_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n into_o carnal_a and_o mechanical_a devotion_n and_o introduce_v innumerable_a superstition_n which_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o will_v have_v they_o believe_v as_o firm_o as_o the_o gospel_n itself_o 3._o because_o she_o have_v bring_v in_o a_o worship_n which_o with_o all_o the_o favourable_a interpretation_n imaginable_a can_v be_v excuse_v from_o idolatry_n even_o the_o worship_n of_o dead_a man_n and_o woman_n of_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n of_o image_n and_o picture_n and_o relic_n etc._n etc._n contrary_a to_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n 4._o because_o though_o she_o have_v be_v often_o entreat_v admonish_v and_o exhort_v to_o reform_v these_o abuse_n for_o some_o hundred_o year_n together_o yet_o she_o be_v obstinate_a and_o

for_o though_o we_o be_v command_v to_o live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o man_n yet_o we_o be_v withal_o to_o have_v a_o due_a regard_n to_o truth_n eph._n iu._n 15._o nor_o must_v peace_n be_v buy_v

be_v to_o maintain_v with_o all_o mankind_n but_o this_o differ_v much_o from_o peace_n of_o communion_n in_o divine_a worship_n and_o sacrament_n the_o division_n among_o protestant_a church_n be_v to_o be_v deplore_v so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o the_o point_n they_o differ_v in_o be_v inconsiderable_a and_o may_v easy_o be_v compose_v if_o man_n have_v but_o peaceable_a temper_n and_o be_v resolve_v to_o lay_v aside_o interest_n and_o carnal_a respect_n and_o punctilio_n of_o honour_n and_o credit_n etc._n etc._n for_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o fundamental_o all_o be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v notorious_o deviate_v from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o matter_n in_o difference_n be_v thing_n in_o which_o salvation_n be_v not_o

a_o perfect_a union_n a_o bless_a work_n bless_a be_v the_o peacemaker_n that_o endeavour_n to_o make_v peace_n among_o the_o jar_a member_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o though_o they_o may_v fail_v of_o success_n yet_o they_o shall_v not_o lose_v their_o reward_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o those_o who_o widen_v or_o heighten_v these_o difference_n and_o incite_v the_o respective_a party_n to_o

public_a satisfaction_n for_o the_o dreadful_a effect_n their_o heat_n and_o passion_n do_v produce_v but_o as_o this_o peace_n among_o protestant_a church_n be_v very_o much_o to_o be_v wish_v and_o

respective_a party_n which_o agree_v in_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o religion_n do_v not_o make_v any_o of_o those_o point_n they_o differ_v in_o fundamental_a as_o if_o the_o fortune_n of_o religion_n depend_v upon_o it_o or_o as_o if_o those_o different_a point_n be_v so_o many_o different_a religion_n 2._o that_o the_o differ_a party_n do_v not_o damn_v one_o another_o for_o those_o difference_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o have_v do_v religion_n more_o hurt_v than_o man_n damn_v one_o another_o for_o thing_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v affix_v no_o damnation_n to_o 3._o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o little_a difference_n that_o be_v among_o they_o they_o make_v one_o church_n and_o endeavour_v after_o the_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n of_o it_o and_o join_v together_o in_o public_a prayer_n and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n which_o be_v the_o badge_n and_o symbol_n of_o fraternity_n and_o amity_n 4._o that_o one_o party_n be_v not_o present_o jealous_a and_o suspicious_a of_o the_o other_o as_o if_o the_o opinion_n which_o one_o party_n espouse_n be_v embrace_v or_o maintain_v in_o a_o humour_n or_o for_o worldly_a end_n but_o that_o they_o charitable_o believe_v it_o be_v conscience_n that_o put_v they_o upon_o it_o at_o least_o till_o either_o the_o party_n espouse_v that_o opinion_n confess_v that_o conscience_n be_v not_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o or_o that_o it_o appear_v by_o undeniable_a evidence_n that_o a_o worldly_a or_o sinister_a design_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o it_o 5._o that_o the_o differ_a party_n do_v not_o multiply_v the_o controversy_n which_o be_v among_o they_o make_v they_o neither_o more_o numerous_a nor_o great_a than_o real_o they_o be_v and_o that_o they_o do_v not_o interpret_v a_o accidental_a unwary_a expression_n that_o may_v drop_v from_o the_o pen_n or_o mouth_n of_o one_o party_n as_o a_o new_a controversy_n 6._o that_o one_o party_n do_v not_o charge_v the_o other_o with_o consequence_n which_o they_o do_v not_o own_o nor_o with_o doctrine_n and_o position_n which_o they_o detest_v from_o their_o heart_n 7._o that_o each_o party_n defend_v or_o prove_v their_o opinion_n do_v it_o with_o great_a modesty_n without_o provoke_v or_o exasperate_n or_o approbrious_a language_n and_o revile_n or_o bitter_a reflection_n on_o the_o other_o 8._o that_o of_o these_o differ_a party_n none_o do_v vie_v with_o the_o other_o except_o it_o be_v in_o live_v up_o to_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n particular_o those_o of_o patience_n long-suffering_a and_o charity_n these_o rule_v i_o apprehend_v to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o peace_n and_o concord_n of_o protestant_a church_n that_o differ_v in_o point_n of_o no_o great_a concernment_n and_o be_v these_o maxim_n once_o put_v in_o practice_n the_o particular_a controversy_n may_v soon_o be_v compromise_v to_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n nevertheless_o whereto_o we_o have_v already_o attain_v let_v we_o walk_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n let_v we_o mind_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o if_o any_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v god_n will_v even_o
