make_v it_o evident_o appear_v inconsistent_a with_o protestant_a charity_n to_o damn_v any_o of_o our_o poor_a dissenter_n for_o their_o tenet_n for_o first_o can_v any_o godly_a protestant_a think_v a_o presbiterian_a a_o limb_n of_o satan_n for_o refuse_v to_o conform_v to_o habit_n &_o ceremony_n which_o every_o body_n confess_v be_v neither_o command_v by_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n or_o shall_v he_o be_v reprobate_v for_o rail_v against_o stage_n play_v though_o the_o drift_n of_o the_o best_a of_o they_o be_v to_o abuse_v the_o brethren_n nor_o can_v the_o disow_n of_o episcopacy_n be_v damnable_a unless_o we_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o tradition_n and_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n for_o the_o scripture_n have_v many_o seem_a argument_n for_o that_o opinion_n predestination_n &_o the_o manner_n of_o christ_n descent_n into_o hell_n be_v point_n disputable_a among_o all_o christian_n &_o god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v think_v that_o every_o error_n in_o judgement_n will_v deprive_v we_o of_o all_o happiness_n hereafter_o the_o independent_n or_o phanatiques_n owe_v their_o be_v to_o the_o forego_n sect_n &_o if_o they_o wild_o fancy_v a_o barn_n as_o good_a as_o a_o church_n or_o a_o graduate_n not_o so_o learned_a as_o a_o cobbler_n with_o other_o odd_a extravagancy_n the_o half_a of_o which_o no_o one_o man_n can_v recount_v let_v we_o not_o be_v more_o rigorous_a than_o the_o pope_n who_o only_o look_v upon_o they_o that_o come_v to_o rome_n to_o convert_v he_o as_o mad_a &_o i_o think_v neither_o s._n peter_n nor_o his_o pretend_a successor_n have_v lock_v bedlam_n out_o of_o heaven_n nor_o shall_v i_o damn_v papist_n for_o matter_n of_o faith_n whilst_o they_o believe_v the_o trinity_n &_o can_v patch_v up_o their_o other_o doctrine_n so_o as_o not_o real_o to_o intend_v thereby_o the_o dishonour_n of_o our_o great_a lord_n &_o master_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o god_n forbid_v every_o error_n in_o judgement_n shall_v be_v a_o sin_n to_o death_n they_o fancy_v many_o promise_n in_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n shall_v never_o err_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v visible_a in_o prosperity_n &_o adversity_n as_o a_o judge_n in_o all_o dispute_n that_o arise_v &_o laugh_v at_o protestant_n for_o affirm_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v easy_a see_v all_o sect_n among_o we_o quote_v scripture_n for_o what_o they_o hold_v &_o yet_o one_o be_v often_o quite_o opposite_a to_o the_o tenet_n of_o the_o other_o in_o thing_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n they_o preach_v up_o merit_n they_o say_v to_o encourage_v man_n to_o work_v but_o tell_v we_o express_o when_o we_o urge_v to_o they_o the_o foulness_n of_o the_o tenet_n that_o neither_o their_o own_o action_n nor_o the_o action_n of_o any_o saint_n can_v be_v in_o themselves_o sufficient_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n do_v not_o god_n promise_v to_o accept_v they_o as_o meritorious_a and_o sufficient_a by_o the_o superaboundant_a merit_n of_o christ_n they_o honour_v saint_n they_o say_v only_o because_o they_o be_v faithful_a servant_n of_o christ_n and_o believe_v that_o these_o holy_a spirit_n must_v needs_o know_v our_o want_n by_o their_o rejoice_v in_o heaven_n at_o our_o conversion_n &_o that_o their_o prayer_n for_o we_o be_v much_o more_o powerful_a with_o god_n than_o those_o of_o our_o friend_n here_o below_o which_o we_o all_o often_o implore_v yet_o they_o oblige_v none_o as_o they_o pretend_v to_o pray_v to_o saint_n except_o they_o will_n they_o think_v because_o some_o sin_n viz._n those_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v that_o other_o sin_n may_v some_o time_n be_v forgive_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a that_o have_v build_v upon_o hay_n stubble_n &_o other_o imperfect_a thing_n who_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n declare_v they_o say_v shall_v be_v save_v so_o as_o by_o fire_n &_o they_o more_o firm_o also_o believe_v this_o purgatory_n because_o the_o maccabee_n that_o fight_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o god_n law_n pray_v for_o their_o slay_a brethren_n which_o they_o often_o urge_v be_v record_v by_o a_o unquenchable_a historian_n if_o not_o by_o a_o divine_a writer_n as_o to_o their_o idolatry_n in_o the_o sacrament_n they_o say_v that_o by_o believe_v christ_n real_o there_o it_o be_v he_o they_o worship_v &_o not_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n that_o the_o thing_n be_v no_o less_o possible_a according_a to_o humane_a reason_n than_o the_o trinity_n that_o the_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v as_o plain_a as_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n &_o that_o it_o be_v much_o for_o their_o advantage_n that_o all_o sect_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n grant_v the_o real_a presence_n except_o a_o few_o calvinist_n as_o they_o call_v they_o by_o that_o text_n of_o scripture_n confess_v your_o sin_n one_o to_o another_o they_o think_v their_o confession_n enjoin_v and_o that_o christ_n commission_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o bind_v &_o to_o loose_v authorise_v their_o priest_n absolution_n and_o interdiction_n and_o before_o many_o of_o their_o book_n of_o pilgrimage_n relic_n picture_n &_o the_o like_a to_o show_v their_o worship_n be_v relative_a they_o print_v this_o piece_n of_o saint_n jerom_n epistle_n against_o vigilantius_n we_o honour_v the_o relic_n of_o martyr_n to_o render_v adoration_n to_o he_o for_o the_o love_n of_o who_o they_o be_v martyr_n we_o honour_v the_o servant_n that_o what_o we_o do_v for_o their_o service_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o their_o master_n who_o say_v he_o that_o receive_v you_o receive_v i_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v do_v be_v i_o to_o set_v down_o all_o their_o opinion_n &_o jesuitical_a gloss_n but_o this_o i_o may_v say_v for_o they_o that_o they_o have_v much_o less_o to_o answer_v since_o they_o real_o think_v themselves_o in_o the_o right_n &_o be_v so_o unite_v in_o their_o fundamental_n whilst_o the_o poor_a protestant_n to_o the_o great_a shame_n &_o weaken_v of_o the_o common_a cause_n quarrel_v irreconcilable_o about_o nicety_n &_o then_o divide_v &_o subdivide_v without_o end_n far_o be_v it_o therefore_o from_o we_o to_o damn_v these_o papist_n tho_o ignorant_a especial_o see_v we_o must_v do_v the_o like_a then_o to_o the_o luthern_n who_o be_v not_o only_a protestant_n but_o the_o first_o reformer_n also_o for_o their_o church_n be_v cram_v with_o crucifix_n &_o picture_n and_o which_o be_v more_o they_o as_o real_o believe_v christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o pope_n himself_o the_o main_a point_n in_o which_o he_o &_o his_o brood_n commit_v idolatry_n as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o other_o best_a reform_a church_n hold_v let_v not_o therefore_o our_o passion_n shut_v up_o heaven_n against_o any_o to_o who_o our_o savour_n have_v open_v it_o &_o since_o protestant_n themselves_o do_v so_o disagree_v as_o sometime_o each_o man_n in_o a_o family_n be_v of_o a_o different_a church_n let_v we_o be_v the_o more_o charitable_a in_o our_o censure_n according_a to_o the_o heal_a advice_n of_o many_o a_o painful_a divine_a and_o thus_o may_v the_o papist_n be_v baffle_v with_o their_o own_o distinction_n viz_o that_o they_o differ_v in_o school_n point_v only_o &_o not_o in_o fundamental_n but_o here_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v misunderstand_v for_o i_o hold_v many_o other_o doctrine_n extreme_o advantageous_a to_o poor_a soul_n and_o hearty_o wish_v all_o man_n of_o my_o opinion_n but_o nothing_o but_o time_n and_o new_a method_n can_v unite_v we_o without_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v thus_o like_o a_o good_a protestant_n prove_v that_o indulgence_n to_o dissenter_n though_o they_o shall_v increase_v by_o it_o as_o some_o vain_o fancy_n can_v hinder_v their_o salvation_n because_o all_o that_o do_v well_o may_v be_v save_v i_o will_v now_o come_v to_o the_o civil_a government_n &_o show_v you_o that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o cause_v disturbance_n or_o endanger_v the_o true_a religion_n that_o in_o ten_o year_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o dissenter_n leave_v to_o piss_v against_o the_o wall_n &_o this_o i_o hope_v if_o practicable_a must_v satisfy_v even_o those_o that_o limit_n god_n mercy_n especial_o since_o they_o know_v how_o firm_o sect_n be_v already_o root_v here_o &_o can_v never_o be_v extirpate_v by_o the_o severity_n of_o our_o law_n i_o have_v often_o laugh_v to_o hear_v person_n of_o each_o sect_n among_o we_o pretend_v that_o their_o religion_n teach_v nothing_o but_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n whilst_o all_o other_o foment_n rebellion_n now_o for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v absolute_o trust_v no_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n with_o the_o full_a power_n of_o depose_v prince_n no_o more_o than_o i_o will_v have_v a_o infidel_n trust_v
