as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v so_o that_o their_o adoration_n be_v refer_v to_o that_o god_n who_o have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n who_o they_o have_v design_n to_o adore_v under_o the_o

the_o intention_n of_o he_o that_o adore_v but_o god_n must_v accept_v that_o adoration_n nothing_o terminate_v in_o god_n but_o what_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o receive_v it_o be_v useless_a to_o

nevertheless_o for_o it_o be_v a_o capital_a affair_n to_o bury_v the_o truth_n in_o so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o error_n in_o fine_a i_o say_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v render_v capital_a those_o of_o her_o error_n that_o will_v not_o otherwise_o be_v such_o since_o she_o have_v make_v article_n of_o faith_n of_o they_o she_o oblige_v under_o pain_n of_o anathema_n that_o

it_o be_v a_o horrid_a crime_n to_o condemn_v to_o hell_n man_n that_o have_v but_o light_a error_n now_o the_o roman_a church_n by_o her_o anathema_n oblige_v i_o to_o damn_v those_o who_o have_v

the_o council_n of_o trent_n all_o reconciliation_n be_v impossible_a with_o the_o roman_a church_n because_o the_o question_n be_v no_o more_o of_o tolerate_v light_a error_n but_o to_o believe_v
