therefore_o must_v fall_v upon_o some_o more_o material_a point_n and_o since_o we_o protestant_n send_v people_n to_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v necessary_a we_o shall_v begin_v to_o talk_v of_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o he_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o we_o know_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o from_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v our_o bible_n i_o

good_a luck_n that_o find_v it_o nay_o i_o think_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v so_o modest_a that_o notwithstanding_o all_o her_o pretence_n to_o infallibility_n she_o never_o have_v dare_v to_o obtrude_v a_o comment_n on_o the_o bible_n as_o infallible_a nor_o do_v i_o ever_o see_v any_o interpretation_n of_o the_o bible_n make_v either_o by_o pope_n or_o council_n which_o have_v pretend_v to_o infallibility_n if_o that_o church_n be_v infallible_a why_o do_v not_o their_o own_o divine_n agree_v in_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n if_o there_o be_v a_o infallible_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o that_o church_n than_o the_o member_n of_o that_o church_n be_v mad_a not_o to_o keep_v to_o that_o infallible_a sense_n especial_o if_o they_o know_v where_o to_o fetch_v

infallible_a sense_n of_o it_o for_o that_o church_n have_v as_o they_o pretend_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o guide_v they_o in_o all_o thing_n i_o suppose_v that_o spirit_n assist_v she_o in_o

the_o spirit_n divide_v or_o be_v he_o not_o always_o the_o same_o or_o do_v not_o he_o exert_v his_o power_n upon_o all_o occasion_n madam_n who_o so_o blind_a as_o those_o that_o will_v not_o see_v who_o see_v not_o that_o the_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o juggle_n a_o device_n to_o maintain_v a_o triple_a crown_n and_o a_o engine_n to_o carry_v on_o a_o temporal_a

church_n of_o rome_n to_o engross_v it_o to_o herself_o that_o be_v at_o the_o best_a but_o a_o member_n and_o a_o very_a unsound_a one_o of_o christ_n universal_a church_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n

i_o will_v come_v a_o little_a close_o to_o those_o reason_n that_o move_v you_o to_o go_v over_o to_o the_o roman_a church_n whereof_o the_o principal_a be_v this_o that_o you_o be_v trouble_v in_o

confess_v to_o a_o roman_a priest_n and_o receive_v absolution_n but_o you_o present_o find_v unspeakable_a comfort_n and_o be_v you_o sure_a madam_n that_o the_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n you_o find_v in_o that_o church_n be_v not_o delusion_n you_o tremble_v at_o that_o word_n but_o le_fw-fr we_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o peace_n when_o you_o be_v in_o our_o church_n either_o you_o do_v true_o repent_v of_o all_o your_o sin_n or_o you_o do_v not_o if_o you_o do_v not_o most_o certain_o you_o can_v have_v no_o solid_a peace_n but_o if_o you_o do_v true_o repent_v as_o you_o say_v you_o do_v what_o can_v hinder_v you_o from_o apply_v the_o promise_v make_v to_o penitent_a sinner_n to_o yourself_o which_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n may_v be_v you_o want_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n to_o confirm_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o have_v you_o since_o hear_v such_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o think_v not_o if_o you_o true_o repent_v in_o our_o church_n then_o certain_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o be_v assure_v that_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o if_o they_o be_v pardon_v why_o shall_v you_o not_o comfort_v yourself_o with_o that_o pardon_n that_o which_o make_v you_o rejoice_v now_o be_v because_o you_o believe_v your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v but_o if_o when_o you_o be_v of_o our_o church_n you_o very_o believe_v you_o true_o repent_v you_o can_v not_o but_o believe_v that_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o consequent_o you_o may_v have_v take_v as_o much_o comfort_n as_o you_o do_v now_o but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o say_v give_v i_o no_o absolution_n which_o the_o roman_a priest_n do_v why_o madam_n do_v any_o of_o our_o minister_n deny_v your_o absolution_n when_o you_o can_v assure_v they_o that_o your_o repentance_n be_v sincere_a do_v you_o ever_o ask_v absolution_n and_o be_v you_o refuse_v nay_o i_o appeal_v to_o your_o conscience_n do_v not_o those_o minister_n you_o converse_v withal_o assure_v you_o over_o and_o over_o that_o you_o need_v not_o doubt_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o your_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o you_o do_v detest_v and_o abhor_v they_o and_o watch_v and_o strive_v and_o pray_v against_o they_o and_o be_v sincere_o resolve_v to_o commit_v they_o no_o more_o and_o do_v avoid_v the_o very_a

be_v no_o very_o hard_a matter_n to_o guess_v at_o the_o rise_n and_o progress_n of_o your_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n all_o new_a thing_n please_v and_o provide_v
