i_o to_o see_v how_o master_n cartwright_n draw_v homeward_o for_o as_o the_o anabaptist_n by_o their_o madness_n keep_v master_n calvin_n within_o some_o good_a compass_n and_o as_o master_n beza_n

for_o pretend_a purity_n be_v many_o degree_n beyond_o all_o the_o savoyan_n disciplinarians_n have_v wrought_v a_o miracle_n to_o my_o understanding_n upon_o m._n cartwright_n for_o hear_v he_o how_o

upon_o they_o and_o put_v his_o word_n into_o their_o mouth_n be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o such_o be_v the_o assembly_n in_o england_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n hereunto_o may_v be_v add_v

this_o distinction_n that_o at_o it_o be_v in_o man_n body_n so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v certain-part_n essential_a and_o such_o as_o without_o the_o which_o a_o man_n can_v

that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n because_o it_o have_v not_o receive_v this_o discipline_n methinks_v be_v all_o one_o with_o this_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v say_v it_o be_v no_o city_n because_o it_o have_v no_o wall_n or_o that_o it_o be_v no_o vineyard_n because_o it_o have_v neither_o hedge_n nor_o ditch_n thus_o far_o master_n cartwright_n in_o which_o his_o manner_n of_o speech_n you_o find_v a_o very_a great_a alteration_n from_o his_o anoient_fw-fr stile_n and_o as_o concern_v the_o necessity_n whereof_o i_o entreat_v the_o wind_n you_o see_v be_v turn_v there_o be_v no_o more_o necessity_n in_o england_n of_o the_o geneva_n platform_n than_o that_o every_o city_n in_o this_o realm_n shall_v be_v wall_v about_o and_o beside_o the_o

this_o i_o will_v add_v unto_o it_o that_o if_o master_n cartwright_n will_v but_o confer_v with_o some_o that_o have_v kill_v in_o fortification_n to_o know_v of_o he_o whether_o a_o old_a thick_a wall_n of_o lime_n and_o stone_n make_v many_o hundred_o year_n since_o or_o a_o new_a slight_a wall_n slubber_v over_o and_o wrought_v with_o untempered_a mortar_n some_o few_o year_n ago_o whether_o i_o say_v of_o these_o two_o wall_n be_v of_o better_a defence_n for_o any_o city_n i_o shall_v be_v in_o good_a hope_n that_o he_o will_v in_o short_a time_n leave_v the_o disciplinary_a wall_n of_o geneva_n and_o content_v himself_o with_o the_o ancient_a fortification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o he_o see_v what_o a_o giddy_a and_o itch_a humour_n his_o novelty_n have_v breed_v in_o the_o unstayed_a sort_n of_o many_o fantastical_a people_n now_o to_o what_o m._n cartwright_n have_v say_v in_o general_a to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o

the_o second_o page_n which_o lay_v forth_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o peace_n do_v cast_v i_o and_o as_o be_v beat_v i_o from_o it_o again_o howbeit_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n uphold_v i_o in_o some_o good_a hope_n of_o profit_v you_o or_o receive_v profit_n from_o you_o i_o think_v to_o cut_v out_o this_o time_n of_o my_o weighty_a and_o most_o necessary_a business_n wherein_o i_o may_v give_v that_o contentment_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v enable_v my_o hand_n unto_o unto_o you_o not_o unwilling_a to_o come_v to_o we_o the_o passage_n as_o it_o seem_v be_v stop_v in_o divers_a
