assurance_n to_o your_o reader_n we_o know_v this_o dispense_v power_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v up_o as_o a_o great_a mystery_n and_o not_o to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o but_o upon_o weighty_a and_o urgent_a cause_n as_o their_o doctrine_n declare_v where_o certain_o one_o proof_n of_o the_o who_o the_o where_o and_o the_o when_o have_v be_v much_o more_o satisfactory_a than_o the_o positive_a we_o know_v and_o their_o doctrine_n declare_v for_o though_o many_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v this_o upon_o trust_n yet_o it_o will_v have_v go_v far_o 117._o if_o you_o have_v prove_v it_o down_o right_n without_o take_v sanctuary_n in_o a_o mystery_n i_o will_v pass_v by_o your_o dexterity_n wherewith_o you_o have_v manage_v the_o history_n of_o st._n perpetua_fw-la in_o the_o chap._n of_o

that_o if_o you_o have_v true_o represent_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o will_v as_o soon_o be_v a_o turk_n as_o your_o papist_n who_o character_n you_o have_v draw_v at_o

and_o by_o what_o i_o see_v i_o think_v i_o may_v with_o as_o good_a reason_n go_v to_o a_o pharisee_fw-mi to_o be_v inform_v of_o christ_n and_o receive_v the_o character_n of_o a_o christian_a

you_o pretend_v to_o the_o method_n you_o take_v will_v bring_v a_o scandal_n even_o upon_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o and_o render_v the_o church_n of_o those_o pure_a time_n of_o the_o same_o colour_n with_o we_o observe_v but_o the_o same_o in_o draw_v the_o feature_n of_o your_o own_o church_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o whether_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o true_o represent_v if_o a_o

to_o patch_v as_o you_o please_v to_o make_v your_o inference_n and_o application_n at_o pleasure_n and_o then_o to_o tell_v your_o reader_n these_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o

you_o do_v not_o judge_v what_o i_o have_v here_o say_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v you_o that_o the_o faith_n as_o i_o have_v represent_v it_o be_v real_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o papist_n i_o will_v

confess_v that_o i_o have_v abuse_v the_o world_n that_o my_o represent_v be_v misrepresenting_a the_o faith_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o that_o my_o design_n have_v be_v not_o to_o undeceive_v but_o to_o deceive_v the_o people_n but_o if_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o shall_v appear_v that_o the_o faith_n as_o i_o have_v represent_v it_o be_v the_o approve_a doctrine_n of_o that_o church_n and_o
