foundation_n of_o truth_n so_o have_v the_o papist_n the_o bible_n but_o they_o have_v all_o add_v so_o much_o that_o the_o first_o truth_n be_v almost_o lose_v 38_o god_n never_o fail_v of_o his_o word_n but_o where_o he_o threaten_v ill_a to_o man_n as_o in_o the_o punish_n to_o niniveh_n but_o always_o perform_v where_o he_o promise_v good_a that_o or_o better_a as_o he_o promise_v to_o

nor_o can_v any_o man_n be_v overcome_v but_o of_o himself_o and_o so_o most_o true_o be_v they_o when_o they_o flee_v to_o death_n for_o a_o refuge_n against_o death_n 43_o be_v easy_a to_o reclaim_v

at_o first_o from_o her_o purity_n into_o infirmity_n then_o into_o corruption_n then_o into_o error_n then_o into_o heresy_n and_o last_o into_o abomination_n god_n still_o punish_v sin_n with_o sin_n 47_o most_n heresy_n have_v proceed_v from_o mingle_v philosophy_n with_o religion_n from_o that_o and_o policy_n have_v all_o the_o papist_n error_n rise_v when_o christ_n tell_v they_o that_o

come_v all_o sin_n for_o sure_o if_o we_o know_v he_o we_o can_v not_o offend_v he_o 49_o man_n as_o often_o fall_v out_o about_o small_a thing_n as_o great_a because_o after_o the_o first_o contradiction_n they_o maintain_v themselves_o not_o the_o thing_n 50_o before_o christ_n come_v it_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o father_n to_o believe_v only_o since_o they_o must_v believe_v and_o

to_o avoid_v a_o great_a and_o a_o wisdom_n of_o falsehood_n the_o first_o be_v both_o lawful_a and_o necessary_a the_o second_o be_v lawful_a but_o not_o necessary_a the_o three_o be_v neither_o 54_o all_o government_n be_v sever_v in_o their_o constitution_n in_o their_o practice_n tend_v to_o a_o monarchy_n and_o wheresoever_o the_o better_a sort_n bear_v rule_v there_o be_v always_o some_o one_o that_o resemble_v a_o king_n among_o they_o yea_o though_o in_o the_o state_n of_o venice_n the_o duke_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n yet_o be_v it_o impossible_a that_o their_o

hand_n of_o infidel_n which_o seek_v to_o destroy_v it_o of_o heretic_n which_o seek_v to_o pervert_v it_o to_o their_o own_o advantage_n 56_o no_o indifferent_a gesture_n be_v so_o seldom_o do_v without-sin_n and_o laughter_n for_o its_o common_o raise_v upon_o thing_n to_o be_v pity_v therefore_o man_n only_o can_v laugh_v and_o he_o only_o can_v sin_v 57_o god_n make_v one_o part_n of_o man_n of_o earth_n the_o base_a element_n to_o teach_v he_o humility_n his_o soul_n proceed_v from_o the_o bosom_n of_o himself_o to_o teach_v he_o goodness_n so_o that_o if_o he_o look_v downward_o
