for_o who_o may_v they_o hear_v if_o they_o may_v not_o hear_v they_o who_o god_n appoint_v but_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v divine_a order_n divine_a call_v divine_a

from_o the_o pope_n therefore_o protestant_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n may_v hear_v the_o sermon_n of_o catholic_a priest_n at_o the_o least_o with_o the_o same_o proviso_n wherewith_o they_o hear_v their_o own_o to_o approve_v what_o they_o find_v to_o agree_v with_o scripture_n and_o reprove_v what_o they_o find_v preach_v against_o it_o the_o second_o proposition_n protestant_n shall_v rather_o hear_v catholic_a sermon_n than_o puritan_n this_o be_v prove_v because_o wisdom_n teach_v that_o in_o doubtful_a question_n we_o choose_v the_o sure_a side_n special_o in_o affair_n that_o concern_v the_o everlasting_a salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n wherefore_o in_o this_o question_n whether_o catholik_n or_o puritan_n preacher_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v we_o must_v rather_o choose_v the_o certain_a part_n but_o that_o catholic_a priest_n be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n endue_v with_o divine_a order_n and_o authority_n to_o preach_v his_o word_n and_o consequent_o the_o man_n who_o by_o divine_a ordination_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v be_v most_o sure_a and_o certain_a because_o all_o agree_v therein_o in_o so_o much_o as_o protestant_n as_o i_o say_v challenge_v their_o order_n from_o the_o roman_a that_o if_o the_o roman_a ordination_n be_v not_o currant_n 1276._o m._n bridges_n defence_n of_o the_o governor_n pag._n 1276._o much_o less_o can_v they_o be_v currant_n as_o

by_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n account_v the_o punishment_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v take_v the_o execution_n of_o justice_n immediate_o into_o his_o own_o hand_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o who_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o divine_a execution_n escape_v afflict_v fright_a wound_a and_o hurt_v be_v to_o be_v hold_v as_o set_v free_a by_o god_n special_a warrant_n as_o punish_v enough_o according_a to_o the_o equity_n of_o his_o judgement_n wherefore_o present_o to_o set_v upon_o they_o as_o deserve_v more_o punishment_n be_v not_o only_a injustice_n and_o cruelty_n but_o also_o a_o
