to_o the_o sense_n i_o have_v already_o explain_v after_o have_v take_v a_o view_n of_o their_o college_n and_o church_n in_o this_o noble_a city_n i_o have_v a_o favourable_a occasion_n offer_v i_o

to_o obtain_v that_o favour_n this_o indeed_o make_v i_o somewhat_o suspicious_a of_o the_o relic_n for_o if_o a_o priest_n have_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o handle_v the_o body_n of_o

come_v to_o see_v this_o relic_n that_o a_o heretic_n be_v once_o convert_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o this_o miracle_n so_o that_o here_o be_v now_o a_o second_o miracle_n produce_v to_o confirm_v and_o

the_o rest_n have_v see_v the_o relic_n of_o s._n january_n i_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o think_v of_o it_o he_o desire_v i_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n not_o to_o speak_v to_o he_o about_o it_o for_o fear_v it_o shall_v raise_v those_o thought_n in_o he_o that_o may_v incline_v he_o to_o turn_v heretic_n again_o for_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o when_o the_o priest_n be_v about_o to_o show_v it_o he_o they_o fall_v into_o the_o great_a confusion_n imaginable_a because_o the_o spring_n of_o the_o machine_n will_v not_o play_n but_o at_o last_o they_o shake_v the_o bottle_n so_o long_o till_o they_o make_v a_o shift_n to_o show_v he_o something_o that_o be_v reddish_n and_o liquid_a he_o add_v that_o another_o minister_n who_o have_v abjure_v with_o he_o at_o turin_n and_o who_o be_v there_o at_o the_o same_o time_n present_a with_o he_o protest_v to_o he_o at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o church_n that_o for_o his_o part_n he_o have_v see_v enough_o and_o be_v resolve_v to_o return_v to_o

same_o gentleman_n protest_v to_o i_o that_o if_o he_o have_v no_o other_o reason_n to_o believe_v the_o roman_n catholic_n religion_n that_o miracle_n will_v never_o have_v have_v the_o efficacy_n to_o persuade_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o as_o they_o pretend_v it_o have_v do_v other_o i_o have_v also_o another_o question_n to_o ask_v of_o this_o new-papist_n which_o be_v how_o the_o heretic_n live_v at_o geneva_n because_o be_v a_o new-convert_a and_o have_v be_v a_o minister_n there_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v discover_v something_o extraordinary_a concern_v their_o practice_n he_o tell_v i_o that_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v i_o of_o any_o superstititious_a practice_n that_o they_o have_v nor_o of_o any_o fraud_n or_o wicked_a action_n that_o they_o commit_v to_o engage_v the_o people_n to_o their_o party_n and_o that_o almost_o all_o their_o public_a act_n of_o religion_n consist_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n the_o read_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o sing_v of_o psalm_n preach_v and_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n i_o pray_v he_o also_o to_o tell_v i_o sincere_o whether_o what_o i_o have_v hear_v report_v of_o they_o from_o my_o first_o youth_n be_v true_a or_o no_o viz._n that_o they_o have_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o devil_n in_o their_o church_n and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o sermon_n be_v end_v all_o the_o hugonot_n go_v and_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o it_o and_o worship_v it_o this_o be_v that_o story_n the_o jesuit_n so_o often_o tell_v to_o their_o scolar_n in_o their_o school_n to_o inspire_v they_o with_o horror_n against_o the_o heretic_n his_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a lie_n and_o that_o the_o hugonot_n have_v so_o great_a a_o aversion_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o image_n in_o their_o church_n that_o they_o never_o suffer_v any_o to_o be_v there_o neither_o of_o god_n nor_o of_o the_o angel_n nor_o of_o the_o saint_n nor_o of_o the_o devil_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v he_o can_v tell_v i_o nothing_o that_o may_v give_v i_o any_o disesteem_v for_o the_o protestant_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o very_o much_o diminish_v the_o false_a idea_n they_o have_v give_v i_o of_o they_o he_o only_o declare_v that_o the_o sole_a reason_n that_o have_v incline_v he_o to_o leave_v they_o be_v because_o he_o believe_v their_o doctrine_n not_o to_o be_v sound_n and_o that_o they_o put_v a_o false_a interpretation_n on_o the_o scripture_n in_o a_o word_n he_o do_v not_o believe_v say_v he_o that_o their_o divinity_n be_v good_a but_o indeed_o he_o can_v not_o say_v less_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v he_o be_v a_o papist_n i_o have_v since_o make_v this_o reflection_n that_o it_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o proof_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n when_o those_o who_o leave_v it_o have_v nothing_o to_o object_n against_o the_o manner_n or_o practice_n of_o those_o who_o profess_v it_o i_o defy_v a_o protestant_n that_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o turn_v papist_n to_o ridicule_n or_o disapprove_v the_o least_o ceremony_n that_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o same_o for_o shall_v he_o do_v this_o he_o must_v either_o scoff_n at_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o word_n
