to_o protestant_n to_o who_o i_o be_v altogether_o unknown_a i_o may_v be_v hardly_o look_v upon_o and_o perhaps_o too_o when_o i_o come_v dislike_v their_o practice_n change_v my_o resolution_n i_o resolve_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o naples_n therefore_o cross_v the_o country_n to_o barlet_n and_o so_o take_v ship_n for_o venetia_n and_o from_o thence_o go_v to_o birgamo_n get_v some_o letter_n of_o recommendation_n to_o the_o bishop_n there_o he_o prefer_v i_o into_o a_o cannos_fw-la place_n and_o make_v i_o a_o deacon_n and_o now_o i_o give_v myself_o serious_o to_o the_o study_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o which_o i_o have_v before_o make_v a_o considerable_a progress_n &_o wheresoever_o i_o find_v they_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o faith_n &_o practice_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n i_o note_v they_o down_o in_o a_o little_a book_n all_o which_o i_o find_v afterward_o do_v agree_v with_o what_o i_o have_v before_o observe_v in_o the_o father_n and_o reveal_v the_o same_o to_o my_o ghostly_a father_n in_o confession_n hope_v thereby_o to_o receive_v satisfaction_n he_o give_v i_o such_o weak_a and_o absurd_a answer_n that_o i_o thereby_o become_v the_o far_o dissatisfy_v and_o now_o i_o again_o lament_v my_o hard_a fate_n that_o it_o be_v my_o lot_n to_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o see_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o protestant_a church_n and_o therefore_o pretend_v a_o journey_n to_o lion_n in_o france_n to_o see_v a_o kinsman_n who_o be_v late_o arrive_v

as_o to_o defend_v myself_o against_o they_o the_o first_o thing_n i_o desire_v of_o they_o to_o make_v i_o capable_a thus_o to_o answer_v be_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n and_o lest_o that_o shall_v

several_a of_o they_o answer_v so_o rational_o rational_o learned_o and_o discreet_o that_o i_o be_v exceed_v well_o satisfy_v therewith_o and_o return_v they_o innumerable_a thanks_o i_o desire_v

the_o space_n of_o a_o week_n or_o such_o a_o matter_n serious_o reflect_v with_o myself_o what_o to_o do_v and_o consider_v that_o their_o service_n consist_v most_o in_o preach_v of_o which_o i_o be_v there_o very_o uncapable_a in_o regard_n of_o my_o deficiency_n for_o the_o same_o in_o the_o french_a tongue_n i_o resolve_v for_o england_n not_o doubt_v but_o i_o may_v do_v god_n as_o good_a
