divine_a do_v never_o mean_a to_o allow_v a_o protestation_n as_o these_o new_a protester_n will_v have_v he_o consider_v the_o repugnance_n which_o it_o have_v to_o his_o whole_a argument_n of_o his_o treatise_n and_o the_o absurdity_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o although_o he_o speak_v somewhat_o obscure_o i_o can_v think_v but_o that_o his_o wisdom_n can_v very_o well_o perceive_v yet_o do_v i_o not_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o worthy_o admit_v a_o protestation_n in_o some_o case_n profitable_a a_o protestation_n be_v some_o time_n profitable_a for_o this_o action_n of_o go_v to_o the_o church_n be_v than_o unlawful_a when_o it_o be_v a_o protestation_n of_o conformity_n in_o religion_n which_o it_o be_v always_o when_o there_o be_v such_o orderly_a go_v as_o be_v use_v by_o the_o heretic_n themselves_o now_o it_o may_v be_v that_o in_o diverse_a case_n this_o orderline_v and_o conformity_n may_v be_v want_v &_o than_o the_o go_n to_o the_o church_n with_o heretic_n be_v call_v but_o a_o material_a go_v and_o not_o a_o formal_a because_o the_o formality_n be_v by_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o essential_a condition_n of_o such_o go_v take_v away_o in_o this_o case_n
therefore_o when_o go_v to_o the_o church_n be_v no_o protestation_n of_o false_a religion_n it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a of_o itself_o so_o that_o for_o to_o avoid_v scandal_n if_o there_o be_v any_o

that_o he_o come_v for_o obedience_n for_o the_o end_n of_o such_o obedience_n be_v participation_n with_o heretic_n and_o conformity_n with_o they_o yet_o this_o will_v i_o say_v for_o mr_n martin_n that_o in_o case_n that_o he_o pray_v catholick_o that_o be_v that_o he_o show_v a_o manifest_a disunion_n with_o heretic_n he_o sin_v not_o but_o this_o can_v be_v as_o the_o case_n be_v with_o us._n yet_o can_v i_o put_v such_o a_o case_n as_o if_o catholic_n &_o hererick_n in_o league_n against_o the_o turk_n have_v but_o one_o church_n and_o be_v agree_v not_o to_o molest_v one_o the_o other_o
