religion_n be_v the_o vinculum_fw-la unionis_fw-la which_o make_v these_o mutual_a interest_n intercurrent_a and_o couple_n they_o together_o it_o follow_v as_o the_o upshot_n of_o all_o that_o the_o

we_o have_v answer_v our_o opportunity_n we_o find_v not_o wherein_o to_o boast_v of_o our_o righteousness_n for_o we_o be_v a_o sinful_a people_n who_o life_n for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o we_o be_v as_o much_o worse_o as_o our_o mean_n and_o profession_n better_o than_o in_o other_o place_n it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o of_o late_a year_n the_o love_n of_o religion_n in_o most_o have_v grow_v cold_a and_o the_o purity_n by_o some_o have_v be_v stain_v and_o corrupt_v and_o i_o will_v not_o now_o discuss_v where_o the_o fault_n have_v be_v the_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v every_o man_n endeavour_n to_o remove_v it_o from_o himself_o only_o i_o will_v add_v thus_o much_o that_o wheresoever_o the_o fault_n be_v there_o be_v no_o man_n have_v show_v himself_o more_o forward_o to_o reform_v it_o then_o the_o king_n himself_o but_o prince_n can_v always_o attain_v their_o end_n according_a to_o their_o like_n because_o they_o see_v with_o other_o eye_n and_o execute_v with_o other_o hand_n than_o their_o own_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v cast_v the_o fault_n of_o man_n upon_o authority_n we_o shall_v do_v wrong_n i_o fear_v to_o those_o who_o do_v not_o deserve_v it_o for_o even_o this_o very_a year_n notwithstanding_o the_o reformation_n of_o corruption_n have_v be_v with_o so_o much_o zeal_n and_o diligence_n endeavour_v yet_o the_o end_n be_v not_o attain_v nay_o in_o some_o respect_n it_o be_v so_o far_o set_v back_o that_o to_o my_o understanding_n the_o state_n of_o religion_n have_v never_o be_v worse_o since_o the_o first_o reformation_n than_o this_o
