do_v not_o think_v that_o humane_a nature_n have_v be_v liable_a to_o such_o impudent_a monstrous_a lie_v 2._o the_o daily_a business_n of_o many_o be_v by_o wit_n and_o diligence_n to_o draw_v man_n to_o hate_v religious_a man_n on_o false_a pretence_n as_o plain_o as_o christ_n preach_v and_o urge_v love_n as_o his_o great_a commandment_n so_o plain_o do_v these_o press_v and_o urge_v man_n to_o

protestant_n or_o papist_n the_o turk_n conquer_v the_o greek_a empire_n partly_o by_o the_o mutinous_a division_n of_o the_o christian_n and_o partly_o by_o promise_v they_o liberty_n of_o religion_n

a_o sign_n of_o a_o bad_a cause_n which_o need_v bad_a mean_n that_o cause_n which_o be_v carry_v on_o by_o lie_v perjury_n and_o deceit_n by_o malignant_a love-killing_a endeavour_n and_o by_o

by_o this_o heal_a work_n christ_n be_v know_v to_o be_v indeed_o our_o physician_n the_o real_a saviour_n that_o save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n as_o man_n generate_v man_n and_o the_o

a_o deceiver_n and_o crucify_v he_o afresh_o and_o seek_v to_o expel_v christianity_n from_o the_o earth_n what_o reasonable_a man_n can_v believe_v christ_n to_o be_v christ_n the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n if_o he_o do_v not_o sanctify_v man_n and_o make_v they_o much_o better_o and_o fit_a for_o heaven_n than_o other_o man_n so_o that_o in_o this_o you_o direct_o militate_v for_o the_o
