Togither with some other memorable things. And, a familiar dialogue, in and with the which, all the severall matters conteyned in this booke, are set forth and interlaced. After the untimely death of the penman of the foresaid platforme. & his fellow prisoner; who being constant witnesses in points apperteyning to the true worship of God, and right government of his Church, sealed up their testimony with their bloud: and paciently suffred the stopping of their breath, for their love to the Lord.

no_o true_a christian_n ought_v to_o go_v to_o false_a minister_n for_o any_o such_o end_n m._n nick_n your_o reason_n be_v right_a and_o good_a but_o then_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n have_v

therefore_o as_o well_o that_o opinion_n as_o their_o and_o the_o protestant_n practice_n be_v high_o sinful_a and_o for_o ever_o ought_v to_o be_v shun_v both_o because_o god_n never_o require_v

and_o blood_n itself_o and_o that_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o sense_n as_o you_o say_v for_o if_o that_o be_v true_a they_o be_v most_o vile_a idolater_n indeed_o miles_n so_o they_o be_v for_o when_o they_o receive_v the_o bread_n they_o see_v it_o feel_v it_o smell_v it_o and_o taste_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n yet_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o heart_n &_o say_v with_o the_o mouth_n that_o
