long_o i_o say_v as_o these_o and_o the_o other_o like_o abuse_n shall_v be_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n people_n may_v make_v what_o overture_n they_o please_v but_o there_o be_v no_o

the_o principle_n of_o our_o religion_n to_o be_v for_o it_o i_o must_v here_o mind_v the_o author_n of_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 6_o pag._n note_n that_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o agree_v whether_o the_o infallibility_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o church_n diffusive_a or_o not_o or_o where_o it_o be_v lodge_v and_o this_o instance_n be_v use_v to_o show_v that_o in_o that_o point_n the_o principle_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o know_v and_o certain_a and_o if_o so_o this_o inference_n will_v never_o hold_v upon_o the_o universality_n of_o that_o principle_n nay_o he_o himself_o

from_o their_o allegiance_n so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o foul_a gap_n in_o the_o principle_n already_o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o our_o late_a experience_n for_o it_o be_v not_o my_o zeal_n for_o the_o

all_o this_o while_n in_o the_o common_a cause_n to_o sum_v up_o the_o whole_a now_o in_o a_o few_o word_n the_o sun_n be_v not_o clear_a than_o it_o be_v that_o my_o write_n have_v be_v pervert_v

of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n for_o the_o phrase_n in_o general_n of_o our_o religion_n the_o protestant_a religion_n the_o reform_a religion_n be_v so_o strict_o and_o so_o express_o appropriate_v to_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n that_o it_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o bear_v a_o allusion_n to_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o i_o think_v it_o very_o reasonable_a to_o inculcate_v a_o caution_n
