difference_n betwixt_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o reformer_n in_o this_o case_n be_v that_o the_o former_a believe_v their_o doctrine_n to_o be_v true_a upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o latter_a because_o they_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o scripture_n he_o aver_v in_o his_o conclusion_n that_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o reformation_n no_o

good_a sir_n in_o your_o inference_n because_o man_n be_v of_o different_a opinion_n and_o will_v be_v so_o as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n endure_v do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o every_o one_o

to_o change_v their_o opinion_n as_o oft_o as_o they_o in_o their_o own_o judgement_n shall_v think_v it_o reasonable_a so_o to_o do_v and_o every_o man_n believe_v all_o the_o while_o his_o opinion_n

of_o believe_v what_o every_o man_n please_v they_o may_v not_o only_o allow_v a_o liberty_n but_o may_v assert_v it_o to_o be_v necessary_a that_o every_o one_o shall_v follow_v his_o own_o
