D., lately Fellow of the same college shewing, the true motives that with-drew him to the romish religion, and the reasons of his return to the Church of England : concluding with some short reflections concerning the great duty of charity.

this_o life_n the_o eternal_a concern_v of_o heaven_n especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o christian_a religion_n all_o along_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v advance_v morality_n and_o put_v the_o great_a esteem_n upon_o it_o of_o any_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o the_o doctrine_n of_o self-denial_n therein_o urge_v further_o than_o any_o philosopher_n ever_o think_v fit_a it_o teach_v we_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o to_o live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o man_n to_o forgive_v and_o do_v good_a to_o our_o very_a

minor_a proposition_n that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v teach_v doctrine_n which_o destroy_v morality_n will_v easy_o enough_o appear_v if_o the_o arrogant_a allowance_n of_o a_o proud_a prelate_n to_o dispose_v of_o kingdom_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o he_o to_o prosecute_v with_o fire_n and_o sword_n all_o such_o poor_a innocent_a soul_n as_o refuse_v to_o submit_v their_o neck_n to_o his_o heavy_a yoke_n to_o murder_n and_o assassinate_n such_o king_n or_o person_n as_o resist_v his_o dreadful_a invasion_n which_o he_o call_v spiritual_a though_o diametrical_o opposite_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n and_o charity_n the_o spirit_n of_o long-suffering_a and_o peace_n in_o a_o word_n if_o the_o allowance_n of_o do_v evil_a that_o

and_o if_o those_o co●neils_n which_o do_v immediate_o and_o that_o often_o soon_o follow_v the_o perpetration_n of_o such_o villainy_n be_v so_o far_o from_o detest_a the_o fact_n that_o they_o
