we_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o only_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n the_o presbyterian_a independent_a and_o anabaptist_n religion_n be_v pitiful_a poor_a thing_n if_o compare_v to_o we_o for_o there_o be_v not_o one_o lord-bishop_n nor_o bishopric_n among_o any_o of_o they_o alas_o their_o churchman_n be_v a_o company_n of_o poor_a pitiful_a fellow_n to_o we_o one_o of_o they_o be_v content_v with_o one_o hundred_o pound_n a_o year_n but_o we_o be_v not_o content_v with_o five_o or_o six_o thousand_o pound_n by_o the_o year_n beside_o they_o will_v have_v all_o their_o minister_n work_v hard_a with_o they_o and_o for_o they_o every_o week_n and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o like_a they_o will_v have_v their_o minister_n fulfil_v their_o ministry_n themselves_o but_o in_o our_o religion_n we_o can_v sit_v still_o we_o can_v sleep_v eat_v drink_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v and_o make_v other_o do_v our_o work_n for_o we_o yea_o further_o their_o religion_n be_v so_o strict_a that_o man_n be_v watch_v and_o if_o they_o do_v or_o speak_v amiss_o or_o neglect_v their_o work_n they_o shall_v be_v present_o tell_v of_o it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v reprove_v for_o it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o our_o religion_n there_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n may_v be_v a_o bad_a as_o their_o bishop_n and_o walk_v in_o their_o step_n of_o pride_n and_o all_o other_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v blameless_a a_o man_n need_v not_o fear_v reproof_n in_o our_o religion_n beside_o in_o the_o say_a way_n of_o religion_n they_o will_v have_v such_o close-searching-preaching_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o person_n to_o be_v in_o quiet_a in_o their_o conscience_n for_o they_o they_o will_v have_v such_o person_n as_o shall_v divide_v between_o the_o joint_n and_o the_o marrow_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n can_v escape_v their_o mouth_n but_o they_o will_v discover_v it_o to_o the_o person_n in_o who_o it_o be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o our_o religion_n for_o we_o suffer_v no_o such_o preacher_n to_o preach_v open_o and_o when_o we_o preach_v we_o do_v all_o we_o can_v to_o keep_v all_o convince_a truth_n far_o enough_o off_o from_o our_o auditor_n conscience_n know_v that_o if_o once_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n be_v save_o convince_v by_o the_o truth_n they_o will_v forsake_v both_o we_o and_o our_o church_n when_o once_o their_o eye_n be_v open_v to_o see_v our_o church_n what_o she_o be_v for_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o excellency_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o we_o do_v not_o trouble_v each_o other_o or_o any_o way_n interrupt_v each_o other_o in_o our_o several_a way_n of_o sin_v we_o let_v the_o people_n alone_o and_o they_o let_v we_o alone_o we_o tell_v they_o story_n and_o preach_v some_o good_a say_n of_o the_o father_n and_o some_o sentence_n of_o greek_a and_o latin_a and_o make_v the_o poor_a silly_a people_n cry_v we_o up_o for_o excellent_a scholar_n excellent_a divine_n good_a churchman_n and_o so_o we_o laugh_v to_o see_v what_o fool_n we_o ride_v for_o as_o we_o say_v before_o our_o great_a care_n be_v to_o keep_v their_o eye_n shut_v and_o they_o not_o know_v what_o a_o sad_a generation_n we_o be_v have_v we_o in_o reverence_n and_o dare_v not_o speak_v to_o we_o to_o tell_v we_o of_o our_o wickedness_n for_o fear_n of_o our_o horn_n again_o their_o religion_n be_v so_o strict_a that_o we_o judge_v it_o want_v much_o of_o that_o charity_n that_o we_o have_v in_o we_o they_o will_v admit_v none_o into_o their_o church_n that_o be_v open_o scandalous_a or_o gross_o ignorant_a but_o our_o church_n be_v full_a of_o such_o we_o be_v so_o charitable_a to_o all_o atheist_n blasphemer_n drunkard_n and_o all_o other_o that_o we_o make_v no_o difference_n those_o person_n that_o they_o do_v most_o high_o esteem_v for_o holiness_n we_o lest_o of_o all_o regard_n we_o scruple_n not_o to_o give_v that_o which_o be_v holy_a unto_o dog_n and_o to_o cast_v pearl_n before_o swine_n it_o be_v our_o constant_a practice_n to_o do_v so_o but_o those_o other_o religion_n be_v not_o so_o charitable_a they_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o the_o clean_a and_o the_o unclean_a according_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o we_o dare_v not_o be_v so_o straight_o we_o can_v give_v child_n bread_n to_o dog_n we_o keep_v open_a house_n but_o these_o person_n shut_v the_o door_n and_o keep_v they_o out_o so_o that_o for_o these_o and_o other_o such_o like_a reason_n
