of_o religion_n due_a to_o god_n be_v a_o belief_n of_o his_o revelation_n whatsoever_o he_o declare_v we_o must_v all_o give_v absolute_a credit_n to_o because_o all_o that_o believe_v a_o god_n believe_v he_o be_v infinite_o true_a and_o can_v never_o deceive_v man_n nay_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o salvation_n we_o must_v give_v credit_n to_o he_o alone_o because_o he_o only_o know_v the_o term_n of_o his_o own_o mercy_n and_o how_o he_o will_v bring_v we_o all_o to_o heaven_n in_o these_o point_n we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v a_o apostle_n himself_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v from_o he_o for_o they_o as_o st._n 24._o paul_n say_v have_v not_o dominion_n over_o man_n faith_n to_o make_v they_o believe_v any_o thing_n but_o be_v only_o as_o messenger_n and_o 17._o dispenser_n of_o god_n word_n and_o so_o can_v declare_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o and_o much_o less_o shall_v we_o believe_v either_o he_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n if_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o speak_v to_o we_o without_o book_n but_o against_o it_o and_o contradict_v god_n own_o revelation_n though_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o

to_o the_o scripture_n as_o they_o do_v in_o italy_n and_o france_n where_o all_o man_n be_v compel_v to_o believe_v transubstantiation_n and_o to_o profess_v a_o church_n infallible_a which_o have_v evident_o embrace_v and_o teach_v a_o number_n of_o falsehood_n they_o not_o only_o need_v not_o but_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o comply_v with_o they_o they_o must_v trust_v god_n before_o any_o prince_n on_o earth_n when_o they_o happen_v to_o contradict_v he_o it_o be_v god_n prerogative_n to_o govern_v our_o faith_n and_o that_o must_v not_o be_v give_v up_o to_o any_o other_o 2._o a_o second_o thing_n in_o religion_n due_a to_o god_n be_v worship_v he_o according_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n this_o be_v another_o of_o god_n right_n for_o his_o adorable_a excellency_n and_o sovereignty_n over_o we_o claim_v our_o worship_n and_o he_o himself_o alone_o can_v prescribe_v it_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v to_o honour_n and_o please_v he_o and_o what_o will_v do_v that_o be_v best_a know_v to_o himself_o so_o that_o his_o worship_n must_v be_v of_o his_o own_o prescribe_v and_o we_o must_v never_o attempt_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o a_o way_n forbid_v and_o therefore_o if_o any_o power_n on_o earth_n shall_v command_v we_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o way_n contrary_a to_o what_o he_o have_v require_v therein_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v thus_o the_o heathen_n require_v the_o primitive_a christian_n to_o sacrifice_n to_o their_o god_n and_o to_o swear_v by_o the_o emperor_n genius_n and_o thus_o in_o france_n and_o in_o other_o popish_a country_n the_o poor_a protestant_n be_v require_v among_o other_o thing_n of_o like_a sort_n to_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o adore_v image_n and_o worship_v the_o host_n and_o take_v up_o with_o a_o maim_a sacrament_n receive_v the_o bread_n only_o without_o the_o cup_n and_o address_v to_o god_n in_o a_o latin_a service_n which_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v and_o from_o whence_o they_o can_v expect_v to_o reap_v no_o profit_n all_o these_o way_n of_o worship_n be_v direct_o opposite_a and_o contradictory_n to_o god_n rule_n and_o therefore_o be_v just_o and_o necessary_o reject_v by_o god_n faithful_a servant_n for_o here_o notwithstanding_o their_o prince_n command_n they_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o reserve_v themselves_o to_o almighty_a god_n this_o be_v his_o province_n 3._o a_o three_o thing_n of_o religion_n due_a to_o god_n be_v the_o service_n of_o a_o good_a life_n and_o a_o upright_a practice_n this_o be_v what_o god_n indispensible_o require_v of_o man_n in_o all_o religion_n and_o which_o they_o must_v be_v most_o careful_a to_o pay_v to_o he_o inviolable_o in_o all_o time_n so_o that_o if_o any_o power_n shall_v require_v to_o be_v serve_v by_o fraud_n or_o falshood_n by_o rapine_n or_o bloodshed_n if_o they_o will_v have_v man_n stop_v at_o no_o bound_n nor_o scruple_n at_o any_o wickedness_n which_o serve_v their_o end_n their_o subject_n or_o dependent_n must_v not_o hearken_v but_o here_o obey_v god_n who_o be_v a_o great_a king_n than_o they_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n of_o religion_n and_o these_o be_v reserve_v to_o god_n as_o his_o thing_n which_o be_v put_v without_o the_o control_n of_o prince_n so_o that_o we_o must_v not_o comply_v when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o invade_v they_o thus_o the_o three_o child_n will_v not_o
