A26962	Naked popery, or, The naked falshood of a book called The Catholick naked truth, or, The Puritan convert to apostolical Christianity, written by W.H. opening their fundamental errour of unwritten tradition, and their unjust description of the Puritans, the prelatical Protestant, and the papist, and their differences, and better acquainting the ignorant of the same difference, especially what a Puritan and what a papist is / by Richard Baxter ...

at_o least_o he_o will_v not_o and_o be_v this_o believe_v by_o all_o the_o world_n no_o wonder_n if_o they_o willing_o obey_v he_o and_o call_v he_o our_o lord_n god_n the_o pope_n for_o he_o can_v conquer_v any_o kingdom_n by_o save_v all_o his_o soldier_n from_o hurt_n and_o death_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o he_o can_v forgive_v some_o part_n or_o time_n of_o purgatory_n torment_n and_o that_o as_o great_a doctor_n say_v he_o can_v and_o lesser_a priest_n than_o he_o forgive_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n to_o a_o sinner_n that_o have_v no_o true_a contrition_n for_o sin_n that_o be_v repent_v not_o out_o of_o any_o love_n to_o god_n or_o goodness_n but_o only_a attrition_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n and_o absolution_n that_o be_v repent_v only_o for_o fear_n of_o hell_n and_o will_v sin_v still_o if_o he_o dare_v and_o though_o you_o may_v hope_v that_o there_o be_v no_o copy_n of_o the_o old_a pardon_n yet_o to_o be_v see_v or_o any_o of_o tecelius_n merchandise_n now_o
