be_o able_a to_o demonstrate_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a union_n among_o the_o protestant_n than_o among_o the_o papist_n if_o you_o peruse_v the_o several_a confession_n of_o faith_n in_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n you_o shall_v find_v no_o material_a difference_n they_o all_o accord_n in_o the_o main_a article_n of_o religion_n or_o in_o those_o point_n which_o be_v the_o vital_n and_o essential_o of_o the_o christian_a faith_n their_o difference_n be_v about_o church-discipline_n and_o modes_n of_o worship_n for_o the_o most_o part_n wherein_o each_o party_n according_a to_o the_o light_n they_o have_v receive_v endeavour_v to_o come_v the_o near_a they_o can_v to_o the_o rule_n that_o christ_n have_v prescribe_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v many_o heterodox_n heady_a high-minded_a half-witted_a person_n that_o go_v under_o the_o general_a name_n and_o notion_n of_o protestant_n such_o as_o quaker_n seeker_n socinian_o etc._n etc._n which_o we_o disow_v and_o they_o be_v no_o more_o of_o we_o than_o they_o be_v of_o you_o nay_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o these_o upstart_n sect_n among_o we_o be_v of_o your_o beget_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o you_o shall_v father_n they_o though_o the_o protestant_n go_v under_o several_a denomination_n as_o calvinist_n and_o lutheran_n abroad_o and_o as_o episcoparian_o presbyterian_o and_o independent_o here_o at_o home_n yet_o it_o be_v idle_a and_o ridiculous_a to_o think_v that_o because_o they_o be_v of_o these_o several_a denomination_n they_o be_v of_o several_a religion_n do_v you_o like_v to_o have_v it_o say_v there_o be_v many_o different_a religion_n in_o the_o papacy_n because_o there_o be_v find_v many_o different_a order_n and_o denomination_n therein_o as_o thomist_n scotist_n jesuit_n jansenist_n molinist_n dominican_n franciscan_n and_o the_o like_a we_o shall_v be_v sorry_a to_o hear_v of_o such_o difference_n and_o division_n among_o we_o as_o be_v among_o the_o several_a party_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n how_o great_a be_v their_o difference_n about_o

matter_n of_o order_n and_o government_n the_o controversy_n betwixt_o the_o conformist_n and_o nonconformist_n with_o we_o be_v not_o like_o the_o controversy_n betwixt_o the_o regulars_n and_o

about_o that_o very_a power_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v unite_v and_o which_o they_o pretend_v shall_v agree_v they_o in_o other_o thing_n one_o half_a of_o they_o be_v for_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o a_o pope_n above_o a_o council_n and_o the_o other_o of_o a_o council_n above_o a_o pope_n the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n be_v a_o great_a article_n of_o faith_n among_o the_o jesuit_n when_o other_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o those_o person_n of_o no_o small-note_n and_o name_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v downright_a heresy_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n with_o the_o

among_o protestant_n when_o as_o i_o can_v easy_o make_v it_o appear_v as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o part_n already_o that_o there_o be_v far_o more_o unity_n and_o concord_n among_o they_o than_o among_o
