the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o these_o they_o take_v to_o be_v article_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o religion_n and_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v mistake_v very_o

to_o be_v call_v antichristian_a if_o a_o poor_a man_n may_v be_v so_o bold_a with_o so_o great_a a_o author_n as_o to_o pretend_v to_o understand_v any_o thing_n he_o affect_v to_o be_v ignorant_a

experience_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o compulsion_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n serve_v many_o time_n to_o render_v man_n more_o teachable_a and_o willing_a to_o be_v instruct_v when_o a_o man_n

may_v not_o continue_v always_o so_o but_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o may_v profit_v so_o much_o by_o what_o they_o hear_v and_o see_v as_o to_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o folly_n of_o their_o

sometime_o gracious_o to_o take_v the_o wise_a in_o their_o own_o craftiness_n some_o have_v go_v to_o church_n only_o out_o of_o curiosity_n and_o have_v be_v catch_v some_o have_v go_v to_o mock_v
