resemblance_n of_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o good_a morality_n and_o piety_n they_o know_v that_o divine_a will_n ought_v to_o govern_v and_o rule_v these_o virtue_n and_o then_o they_o may_v

they_o ought_v also_o to_o consider_v the_o respect_n they_o owe_v to_o their_o prince_n and_o repay_v his_o kindness_n with_o a_o solid_a sincerity_n by_o this_o mean_v one_o shall_v find_v that_o

that_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v keep_v in_o a_o box_n in_o the_o church_n he_o be_v much_o a_o slave_n to_o custom_n and_o believe_v that_o the_o sacrament_n and_o service_n administer_v

this_o custom_n that_o he_o imagine_v that_o all_o will_v be_v in_o a_o disorder_n if_o the_o king_n shall_v declare_v himself_o next_o under_o god_n as_o well_o protector_n of_o religion_n as_o of_o justice_n and_o because_o of_o the_o loud_a and_o continual_a bawl_n of_o the_o emissary_n of_o rome_n he_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v not_o remain_v in_o france_n if_o the_o pope_n shall_v not_o be_v mediator_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o king_n to_o keep_v they_o friend_n without_o think_v that_o st._n peter_n who_o write_v plain_o say_v that_o he_o that_o honour_v the_o king_n sheweth_z his_o fear_n to_o god_n whereby_o he_o declare_v the_o near_a relation_n between_o god_n and_o the_o king_n for_o he_o write_v fear_v god_n and_o honour_n the_o king_n such_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o roman-catholick_n from_o whence_o follow_v such_o practice_n devotion_n and_o custom_n which_o can_v be_v take_v from_o it_o without_o its_o destruction_n and_o one_o feel_v as_o much_o

protestant_n have_v a_o soul_n incline_v quite_o another_o way_n he_o seek_v god_n with_o a_o worship_n of_o spirit_n and_o truth_n he_o believe_v not_o his_o faith_n divine_o establish_v but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o equity_n of_o his_o conscience_n well_o regulate_v but_o only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o seek_v not_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o earth_n but_o his_o spirit_n and_o his_o grace_n he_o worship_n he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n not_o by_o the_o image_n of_o his_o body_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o divinity_n he_o can_v easy_o pass_v by_o image_n and_o statue_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o false_a representation_n and_o very_o unprofitable_a to_o solid_a p●et●_n if_o he_o esteem_v the_o right_a of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o decency_n of_o it_o in_o the_o external_a practice_n of_o religion_n he_o despise_v the_o multitude_n of_o proud_a ceremony_n and_o the_o glitter_a of_o so_o many_o affect_a ornament_n he_o believe_v not_o that_o the_o pope_n authority_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o french_a church_n he_o say_v confident_o that_o the_o gallique_n church_n may_v stand_v without_o the_o roman_a and_o that_o she_o can_v never_o render_v herself_o more_o just_a and_o happy_a than_o by_o banish_v strange_a power_n he_o look_v upon_o the_o king_n as_o the_o head_n of_o justice_n which_o be_v principal_o establish_v by_o the_o divine_a law_n that_o sovereign_n who_o be_v according_a to_o god_n own_o heart_n aught_o to_o know_v and_o cause_n to_o be_v observe_v the_o law_n of_o god_n without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o to_o the_o left_a hand_n with_o this_o disposition_n of_o mind_n so_o different_a between_o the_o roman-catholiques_a and_o french_a protestant_n if_o divers_a opinion_n remain_v in_o the_o mind_n only_o without_o break_v forth_o they_o will_v not_o produce_v dreadful_a enmity_n and_o those_o obstacle_n which_o be_v so_o hard_a to_o be_v overcome_v but_o when_o one_o endeavour_n to_o draw_v a_o roman-catholick_n from_o his_o paint_a devotion_n and_o oblige_v a_o protestant_n to_o conform_v to_o they_o they_o suffer_v frightful_a vexation_n if_o they_o be_v constrain_v and_o can_v hardly_o take_v any_o resolution_n except_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o they_o by_o reason_v and_o persuasion_n 26._o i_o have_v know_v the_o thought_n of_o many_o rational_a mind_n even_o of_o the_o roman-catholiques_a who_o believe_v that_o the_o king_n will_v do_v a_o act_n of_o wise_a bounty_n if_o he_o will_v permit_v without_o any_o reserve_n the_o satisfaction_n of_o conscience_n without_o show_v any_o aversion_n either_o to_o protestant_n or_o papist_n provide_v that_o all_o will_v dwell_v in_o a_o mutual_a peace_n without_o malediction_n or_o quarrel_a this_o state_n of_o cessation_n will_v be_v a_o principle_n of_o peace_n and_o all_o the_o world_n will_v be_v content_v if_o his_o majesty_n will_v not_o permit_v that_o any_o one_o of_o his_o subject_n shall_v be_v debar_v from_o bear_v office_n and_o honour_n that_o those_o of_o either_o religion_n may_v live_v without_o trouble_n and_o disquiet_v in_o the_o service_n due_a to_o his_o majesty_n by_o this_o liberty_n we_o shall_v all_o have_v a_o peaceable_a conversation_n and_o a_o charm_a commerce_n the_o heat_n of_o dispute_n animate_v by_o hatred_n will_v cease_v they_o will_v become_v conference_n of_o friendship_n by_o which_o every_o one_o may_v be_v instruct_v aversion_n which_o disorder_v the_o blood_n shall_v have_v no_o more_o force_n against_o the_o calm_a

truth_n that_o in_o a_o word_n all_o who_o be_v great_a rational_a and_o spiritual_a in_o the_o kingdom_n will_v give_v their_o heart_n and_o mind_n to_o the_o most_o just_a verity_n one_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o debate_n of_o religion_n that_o which_o fall_v out_o in_o all_o other_o quarrel_n one_o never_o yield_v to_o declare_v enemy_n till_o after_o they_o have_v try_v the_o

but_o in_o a_o cessation_n of_o fight_n they_o speak_v together_o they_o hear_v one_o another_o they_o join_v their_o interest_n and_o every_o one_o have_v time_n to_o do_v justice_n to_o himself_o and_o other_o if_o we_o can_v have_v in_o france_n so_o sweet_a a_o way_n to_o perfect_a peace_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o miraculous_a effect_n and_o soon_o than_o one_o can_v believe_v of_o this_o desire_a unity_n because_o every_o one_o be_v dis-engaged_n from_o the_o authority_n of_o stranger_n without_o fear_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o king_n order_n will_v bind_v himself_o willing_o to_o his_o natural_a prince_n who_o be_v most_o christian_a rather_o than_o to_o tie_v himself_o to_o the_o roman_a monarch_n who_o appear_v very_o jealous_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v serve_v and_o so_o not_o part_v their_o heart_n they_o will_v unite_v their_o soul_n if_o a_o frenchman_n be_v in_o necessity_n of_o have_v a_o dispensation_n for_o marriage_n will_v he_o not_o be_v content_a rather_o to_o obtain_v it_o of_o the_o king_n than_o to_o buy_v it_o of_o rome_n especial_o when_o in_o these_o day_n they_o cost_v four_o time_n more_o than_o ordinary_a to_o make_v war_n against_o candia_n i_o believe_v not_o but_o that_o pastor_n ordain_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o canonical_o receive_v by_o the_o church_n will_v be_v as_o satisfactory_a and_o as_o full_o authorize_v as_o by_o the_o power_n of_o rome_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v well_o think_v upon_o the_o establishment_n of_o this_o sweet_a agreement_n the_o fruit_n which_o it_o will_v produce_v will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o the_o king_n desire_v for_o his_o people_n 28._o this_o matter_n of_o religion_n have_v be_v discourse_v where_o there_o be_v many_o of_o both_o religion_n one_o

the_o reform_a to_o the_o romish_a religion_n the_o one_a reason_n be_v that_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o cease_v believe_v that_o which_o be_v uncertain_a than_o to_o begin_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o appear_v to_o be_v false_a for_o example_n i_o give_v you_o the_o creed_n of_o the_o reality_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o only_a and_o supreme_a authority_n of_o

attention_n of_o the_o priest_n all_o these_o necessary_a condition_n be_v only_o suppose_v or_o believe_v by_o a_o charitable_a faith_n the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o pope_n depend_v upon_o his_o lawful_a election_n which_o be_v often_o so_o obscure_a and_o appear_v so_o clear_o defective_a or_o so_o open_o criminal_a that_o many_o decade_n of_o year_n have_v pass_v in_o which_o one_o

of_o a_o roman-catholique_a find_n in_o its_o self_n these_o proof_n to_o be_v so_o uncertain_a as_o well_o in_o the_o essential_o as_o circumstatials_n will_v have_v much_o less_o a_o do_v to_o
