4._o they_o can_v but_o know_v that_o no_o man_n can_v believe_v what_o himself_o please_v and_o to_o force_v man_n to_o say_v they_o believe_v what_o they_o do_v not_o be_v vain_a absurd_a and_o without_o honour_n to_o god_n 5._o the_o hollander_n know_v themselves_o not_o to_o be_v a_o infallible_a church_n and_o that_o other_o have_v the_o same_o scripture_n for_o guide_n as_o themselves_o and_o withal_o the_o same_o interest_n to_o save_v their_o soul_n do_v not_o think_v sit_v to_o make_v this_o matter_n their_o business_n not_o more_o than_o to_o take_v bond_n of_o the_o seaman_n they_o employ_v not_o to_o cast_v away_o their_o own_o ship_n and_o life_n 6._o the_o hollander_n observe_v that_o in_o france_n and_o spain_n especial_o the_o latter_a the_o churchman_n be_v about_o one_o hundred_o for_o one_o to_o what_o they_o use_v or_o need_v the_o principal_a care_n of_o who_o be_v to_o preserve_v uniformity_n and_o this_o they_o take_v to_o be_v a_o superfluous_a charge_n 7._o they_o observe_v where_o most_o endeavour_n have_v be_v use_v to_o keep_v uniformity_n there_o heterodoxy_n have_v most_o abound_v 8._o they_o believe_v that_o if_o ¼_n of_o the_o people_n be_v

they_o think_v the_o case_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n as_o it_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n look_n like_o that_o of_o the_o present_a dissenter_n i_o mean_v
