the_o conclusion_n 1._o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o papist_n as_o such_o be_v so_o gross_o against_o the_o know_a word_n of_o god_n as_o to_o make_v all_o those_o of_o our_o communion_n inexcusable_a who_o out_o of_o pretence_n of_o not_o have_v a_o flourish_a church_n chooâ—…e_v not_o to_o have_v a_o flourish_a religion_n 2._o their_o foretell_v the_o mischief_n now_o befall_v we_o be_v no_o more_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n than_o their_o contrive_n or_o effect_v they_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o piety_n thus_o have_v i_o go_v through_o all_o your_o exception_n as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v but_o much_o more_o large_o than_o i_o intend_v for_o the_o more_o i_o inquire_v into_o they_o the_o more_o i_o find_v cause_n to_o dislike_v they_o and_o can_v not_o but_o full_o express_v my_o dislike_n for_o their_o sake_n who_o by_o the_o effrantery_n of_o your_o late_a emissary_n and_o by_o the_o impiety_n of_o our_o sad_a time_n be_v almost_o if_o not_o altogether_o persuade_v to_o forsake_v the_o church_n wherein_o they_o be_v make_v christian_n under_o fond_a hope_n of_o better_v their_o christianity_n they_o be_v so_o beguile_v with_o the_o pretence_n of_o your_o flourish_a church_n as_o to_o abate_v though_o i_o hope_v not_o to_o abandon_v the_o love_n of_o their_o own_o save_v religion_n not_o consider_v that_o the_o same_o argument_n of_o a_o flourish_a church_n which_o be_v now_o use_v to_o make_v protestant_n turn_n papist_n will_v once_o have_v make_v all_o orthodox_n christian_n turn_n arrian_n and_o may_v at_o this_o time_n make_v papist_n turn_n mahometan_n and_o ere_o long_o if_o the_o sword_n proceed_v to_o cut_v and_o carve_v out_o religion_n may_v chance_v make_v protestant_n and_o papist_n both_o turn_v atheist_n sure_a it_o be_v not_o just_a nor_o safe_a for_o christian_n to_o go_v to_o church_n as_o dog_n no_o more_o than_o to_o go_v to_o hell_n as_o devil_n for_o company_n since_o they_o can_v hope_v to_o be_v save_v for_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o communion_n but_o for_o the_o goodness_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o since_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o love_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n how_o can_v you_o seek_v the_o patronage_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o if_o he_o be_v more_o friendly_a and_o love_a to_o you_o than_o the_o creator_n and_o not_o sin_n against_o this_o love_n how_o can_v you_o religious_o adore_v or_o invocate_v the_o creature_n as_o if_o he_o be_v equal_o to_o be_v honour_v with_o the_o creator_n and_o not_o sin_n against_o this_o honour_n the_o angel_n see_o thou_o do_v it_o not_o be_v in_o this_o case_n most_o just_o our_o negative_a and_o though_o your_o man_n common_o say_v we_o be_v all_o for_o negative_n yet_o be_v the_o same_o angel_n worship_v god_n as_o just_o and_o as_o ready_o our_o affirmative_a do_v not_o then_o ask_v i_o where_o be_v my_o church_n till_o you_o can_v answer_v i_o where_o be_v your_o religion_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o adoration_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n much_o less_o of_o their_o picture_n relic_n and_o image_n because_o that_o be_v against_o the_o second_o commandment_n nor_o in_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n because_o that_o if_o mental_a be_v against_o the_o first_o if_o vocal_a be_v also_o against_o the_o three_o commandment_n and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o

consider_v that_o by_o set_v up_o your_o church_n against_o god_n word_n you_o do_v in_o truth_n pull_v down_o your_o church_n since_o that_o can_v neither_o have_v religion_n nor_o communion_n nor_o jurisdiction_n neither_o verity_n nor_o unity_n nor_o authority_n but_o from_o god_n word_n unless_o you_o will_v allow_v your_o church_n to_o be_v a_o society_n of_o your_o own_o not_o of_o your_o saviour_n make_v that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o combination_n of_o sinner_n instead_o of_o be_v a_o communion_n of_o saint_n as_o for_o our_o part_n we_o can_v but_o think_v it_o very_o impious_a and_o injurious_a for_o the_o trustee_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o man_n soul_n to_o seek_v to_o baffle_v any_o private_a man_n reason_n by_o infer_v to_o he_o false_a conclusion_n much_o more_o to_o seek_v to_o baffle_v his_o religion_n by_o impose_v on_o he_o false_a principle_n whether_o in_o doctrine_n against_o the_o creed_n or_o in_o work_n against_o the_o decalogue_n and_o such_o be_v the_o conclusion_n &_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n you_o have_v obtrude_v in_o your_o exception_n and_o your_o zealot_n will_v obtrude_v upon_o our_o belief_n and_o practice_n by_o which_o alone_o though_o i_o let_v pass_v all_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v evident_a to_o common_a sense_n that_o protestant_n be_v not_o so_o faulty_a in_o recede_v from_o papist_n as_o papist_n be_v faulty_a in_o recede_v from_o god_n truth_n bring_v you_o god_n truth_n and_o your_o church_n together_o and_o blame_v we_o if_o we_o keep_v our_o church_n and_o your_o church_n asunder_o but_o till_o you_o do_v so_o though_o you_o more_o love_n to_o make_v objection_n yet_o we_o can_v better_o justify_v the_o make_v they_o for_o while_o you_o object_n against_o our_o church_n we_o object_n against_o your_o religion_n and_o doubtless_o those_o objection_n more_o savour_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v less_o in_o danger_n of_o blasphemy_n which_o be_v righteous_o make_v against_o a_o false_a religion_n than_o those_o which_o be_v unrighteous_o make_v against_o a_o true_a church_n because_o the_o one_o be_v make_v for_o god_n but_o the_o other_o against_o he_o this_o be_v plain_a that_o while_o we_o object_n against_o your_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n we_o dispute_v for_o the_o decalogue_n &_o for_o the_o creed_n whereas_o you_o can_v object_v against_o any_o doctrine_n that_o we_o profess_v or_o any_o worship_n that_o we_o practise_v by_o the_o order_n of_o our_o church_n but_o you_o must_v dispute_v against_o a_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n or_o a_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o justify_v all_o our_o opinion_n much_o less_o all_o our_o practice_n yet_o for_o these_o doctrine_n wherein_o our_o church_n dissent_v from_o you_o and_o for_o this_o worship_n for_o which_o our_o church_n separate_v from_o you_o i_o dare_v bold_o say_v god_n be_v not_o angry_a with_o we_o though_o you_o be_v 2._o and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o add_v one_o observation_n which_o though_o it_o concern_v not_o your_o exception_n yet_o it_o very_o much_o concern_v our_o defence_n that_o the_o world_n may_v not_o think_v we_o forsake_v of_o god_n because_o we_o be_v oppress_v by_o man_n and_o that_o be_v this_o your_o writer_n indeed_o heretofore_o design_v we_o to_o this_o very_a same_o destruction_n we_o now_o groan_v under_o by_o their_o prediction_n but_o it_o be_v while_n they_o plot_v it_o by_o their_o contrivance_n that_o the_o common_a rout_n may_v repute_v they_o prophet_n while_o they_o be_v no_o other_o than_o murderer_n hence_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v withdraw_v from_o you_o i_o mean_v as_o to_o your_o corruption_n though_o not_o as_o to_o your_o communion_n
