to_o they_o all_o this_o interest_n will_v carry_v they_o on_o joint_o to_o oppose_v themselves_o to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a and_o take_v over_o they_o all_o advantage_n which_o reason_n &_o justice_n can_v allow_v be_v it_o not_o a_o strange_a thing_n that_o since_o the_o roman_a catholic_n the_o protestant_n and_o the_o greek_n have_v so_o rend_v and_o tear_v each_o other_o we_o see_v that_o the_o mahometan_n have_v make_v so_o great_a a_o progress_n among_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o division_n if_o when_o the_o turk_n come_v to_o fix_v themselves_o in_o

to_o those_o dreadful-enemy_n of_o all_o christian_n do_v think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o treat_v with_o they_o and_o that_o also_o upon_o disadvantageous_a term_n mere_o out_o of_o the_o

this_o evil_a i_o see_v no_o other_o more_o effectual_a remedy_n than_o to_o hasten_v this_o agreement_n of_o opinion_n which_o without_o doubt_n will_v be_v follow_v by_o that_o of_o affection_n the_o common_a people_n will_v find_v herein_o this_o satisfaction_n that_o they_o shall_v no_o more_o be_v trouble_v in_o religion_n with_o so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o question_n and_o diversity_n

it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o hitherto_o there_o have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v two_o different_a religion_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o religion_n the_o first_o be_v of_o the_o learned_a and_o scholar_n

will_v have_v no_o more_o those_o distrust_n and_o alarm_n which_o they_o give_v themselves_o doubt_v if_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o wrong_a way_n and_o if_o they_o mislead_v not_o other_o they_o

much_o more_o joy_n they_o will_v labour_v with_o pleasure_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n they_o will_v bend_v all_o their_o thought_n to_o stir_v up_o every_o one_o to_o
