A62900	The principles of the Papists by which their leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous practices, plainly demonstrated by the Scriptures to be most erroneous and wicked. And a few better principles briefly laid down, for them (or others) to meditate on, tending to a peaceable life among men, &c. And also a few quæries left them last of all, to satisfie their consciences in. Partly for the sakes of those among them whose consciences have some tenderness in them, and are not quite feared: partly also for those who through ignorance are too much inclining to them. Also there may be some service of these things to others. By a lover of truth, mercifulness, plain-heartedness, humility and fidelity, W. T.

two_o thing_n 1._o what_o manner_n of_o succession_n be_v cut_v off_o 2._o what_o manner_n of_o succession_n do_v remain_v first_o what_o manner_n of_o succession_n be_v cut_v off_o there_o be_v a_o succession_n once_o which_o be_v lineal_a in_o the_o same_o seed_n outward_o and_o so_o from_o abraham_n to_o christ_n they_o succeed_v one_o another_o as_o the_o son_n succeed_v the_o father_n but_o

the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o the_o jew_n through_o their_o unbelief_n show_v that_o we_o who_o be_v of_o the_o gentile_n be_v graft_v in_o into_o abraham_n stock_n only_o by_o

than_o you_o see_v that_o outward_a succession_n in_o abraham_n line_n be_v cut_v off_o through_o unbelief_n hence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o god_n have_v lay_v aside_o that_o outward_a succession_n in_o abraham_n line_n who_o be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n he_o will_v not_o take_v up_o any_o outward_a succession_n again_o to_o entail_v his_o promise_n upon_o and_o if_o succession_n be_v cut_v off_o from_o that_o natural_a seed_n for_o want_v of_o faith_n than_o all_o outward_a succession_n as_o from_o place_n or_o any_o other_o outward_a thing_n whatsoever_o will_v not_o hold_v where_o true_a faith_n be_v want_v but_o will_v fail_v he_o that_o depend_v upon_o it_o as_o well_o as_o it_o fail_v the_o jew_n so_o than_o whosoever_o pretend_v a_o succession_n in_o abraham_n seed_n without_o which_o he_o can_v be_v a_o successor_n to_o peter_n he_o must_v establish_v his_o succession_n in_o another_o thing_n than_o either_o in_o a_o outward_a seed_n or_o in_o place_n or_o any_o such_o like_a outward_a thing_n therefore_o second_o let_v we_o now_o take_v further_a notice_n what_o manner_n of_o succession_n that_o be_v which_o abide_v and_o wherein_o that_o be_v

of_o christ_n and_o all_o that_o depart_v from_o they_o be_v heretic_n that_o there_o be_v once_o a_o true_a church_n and_o a_o precious_a church_n of_o christ_n at_o rome_n i_o grant_v while_o they_o follow_v the_o doctrine_n and_o innocent_a life_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o holy_a apostle_n but_o since_o they_o be_v fall_v therefrom_o into_o the_o murder_a and_o lie_v treacherous_a spirit_n they_o be_v become_v degenerate_a and_o thereby_o cut_v themselves_o off_o as_o a_o branch_n wither_a be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o vine_n but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n before_o i_o proceed_v any_o further_a i_o desire_v to_o be_v right_o understand_v that_o the_o bend_v of_o my_o discourse_n be_v not_o against_o those_o that_o be_v simplehearted_n and_o harmless_a among_o they_o and_o honest_a according_a to_o their_o knowledge_n but_o it_o be_v against_o the_o roll_a and_o lead_v part_n who_o lead_v the_o rest_n into_o evil_n these_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o christ_n and_o hold_v other_o
