we_o in_o command_v more_o than_o we_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v i_o will_v therefore_o draw_v to_o ward_n my_o conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o the_o allege_v doctrine_n of_o caluin_n bring_v all_o

bound_v in_o conscience_n be_v to_o despoil_v christ_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o redeemer_n and_o man_n of_o christian_a liberty_n then_o be_v it_o also_o injurious_a to_o christ_n and_o man_n liberty_n to_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v promise_n and_o to_o observe_v contract_n even_o with_o wife_n three_o the_o commandment_n also_o of_o parent_n and_o master_n be_v particular_a law_n and_o consequent_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o obey_v our_o master_n or_o parento_n and_o so_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n must_v be_v blot_v out_o because_o if_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v our_o parent_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o cheefeste_a honour_n which_o we_o can_v give_v they_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o honour_v our_o parent_n yea_o by_o this_o doctrine_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n bound_v we_o not_o in_o conscience_n which_o though_o our_o adversary_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o grant_n as_o we_o shall_v

they_o will_v make_v no_o scruple_n of_o transgress_v the_o law_n for_o why_o shall_v they_o make_v conscience_n of_o that_o which_o touch_v not_o conscience_n but_o caluin_n will_v say_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o withstanding_n to_o keep_v law_n for_o order_n sake_n and_o

amongst_o they_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o everye_o heretic_n to_o preach_v what_o doctrine_n he_o will_v and_o no_o man_n shall_v control_v he_o now_o i_o be_o to_o deduce_v another_o conclusion_n to_o wit_n that_o thus_o also_o the_o gate_n and_o gap_n be_v open_v unto_o atheist_n and_o godless_a and_o irreligious_a person_n which_o i_o can_v do_v easy_o and_o will_v do_v in_o a_o word_n for_o

probable_a reason_n to_o induce_v he_o to_o any_o religion_n at_o all_o and_o consequentlye_o he_o may_v take_v good_a leave_n to_o be_v of_o no_o religion_n and_o thus_o he_o may_v argue_v in_o form_n and_o figure_n if_o there_o be_v no_o visible_a head_n to_o determine_v by_o authority_n what_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v embrace_v every_o man_n may_v be_v of_o what_o religion_n he_o will_v and_o no_o man_n can_v control_v he_o and_o so_o i_o also_o may_v use_v my_o liberty_n in_o choose_v my_o religion_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o see_v that_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o visible_a head_n be_v lay_v a_o side_n i_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v of_o one_o religion_n then_o another_o because_o all_o religion_n allege_v the_o same_o reason_n which_o be_v no_o
