etc._n and_o other_o more_o large_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o take_v a_o pope_n a_o papist_n and_o the_o papal_a church_n to_o be_v but_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o as_o the_o same_o man_n may_v be_v a_o visible_a christian_a or_o member_n of_o the_o true_a universal_a church_n as_o head_v by_o christ_n and_o a_o visible_a papist_n or_o member_n of_o the_o sectarian_n church_n as_o head_v by_o the_o pope_n so_o i_o judge_v none_o of_o you_o as_o in_o the_o first_o respect_n but_o allow_v you_o the_o same_o charity_n proportionable_o as_o i_o do_v other_o err_a

all_o this_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o gather_v how_o our_o religion_n differ_v from_o the_o papist_n i_o shall_v recite_v but_o a_o few_o of_o the_o difference_n leave_v you_o to_o collect_v the_o rest_n from_o what_o be_v say_v of_o they_o i._o our_o religion_n be_v whole_o divine_a or_o make_v by_o god_n for_o so_o be_v the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o be_v all_o we_o but_o the_o papist_n supper_n addition_n be_v make_v by_o man_n even_o pope_n and_o council_n under_o pretence_n of_o declare_v expound_v govern_v judge_a etc._n etc._n ii_o the_o religion_n of_o protestant_n be_v no_o big_a nor_o no_o other_o in_o the_o essential_o than_o the_o sacramental_a covenant_n with_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n expound_v in_o the_o creed_n lord_n prayer_n and_o decalogue_n and_o in_o the_o integral_n no_o big_a nor_o other_o than_o the_o holy_a canonical_a scripture_n but_o the_o papist_n be_v as_o big_a as_o all_o the_o decree_n of_o all_o general_n
