since_o moses_n time_n which_o furnish_v we_o with_o the_o first_o proof_n that_o there_o must_v be_v unity_n in_o religion_n and_o obedience_n in_o the_o professor_n thereof_o &_o that_o such_o as_o

so_o that_o still_o i_o see_v less_o and_o less_o colour_n why_o they_o shall_v except_v against_o we_o as_o if_o we_o want_v charity_n for_o say_v that_o of_o they_o which_o when_o they_o listen_v

neither_o do_v nor_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n conceive_v that_o they_o break_v the_o law_n of_o charity_n towards_o we_o suppose_v their_o own_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a in_o that_o they_o

be_v true_a and_o that_o we_o obstinate_o refuse_v to_o obey_v it_o we_o can_v be_v save_v by_o the_o profession_n thereof_o and_o so_o therefore_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o be_v true_a as_o

this_o on_o both_o side_n it_o will_v not_o be_v want_n of_o charity_n in_o either_o of_o we_o both_o to_o hold_v and_o declare_v the_o other_o religion_n to_o be_v incompatible_a with_o salvation_n nay_o it_o will_v be_v want_n of_o charity_n if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o for_o man_n be_v not_o so_o make_v for_o themselves_o as_o that_o they_o must_v not_o also_o procure_v to_o do_v their_o

or_o which_o the_o lutheran_n or_o such_o other_o fellow_n ghospeller_n of_o they_o at_o this_o day_n or_o indeed_o even_o with_o we_o catholic_n if_o thing_n as_o they_o say_v may_v be_v consider_v
