not_o deceive_v but_o know_v for_o certainty_n that_o they_o be_v full_a and_o rank_a donatist_n and_o anabaptist_n in_o part_n i_o know_v it_o be_v complain_v of_o that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o diverse_a sect_n and_o heresy_n daily_o spring_v up_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v for_o it_o seem_v a_o foul_a disgrace_n both_o to_o the_o gospel_n itself_o and_o to_o the_o

such_o blindness_n in_o man_n and_o want_v of_o wisdom_n to_o consider_v right_o of_o all_o cause_n and_o effect_n the_o scripture_n be_v clear_v that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o

that_o god_n have_v a_o other_o purpose_n in_o send_v strong_a delusion_n and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o error_n and_o that_o be_v touch_v his_o elect_a for_o they_o be_v clog_v with_o the_o flesh_n

why_o shall_v it_o be_v any_o reproach_n to_o the_o holy_a doctrine_n now_o more_o than_o of_o old_a that_o the_o devil_n where_o any_o light_n be_v show_v do_v follow_v it_o by_o and_o by_o at_o

of_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o brownist_n 1_o we_o seek_v above_o all_o thing_n the_o peace_n and_o protection_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n 2_o we_o seek_v and_o full_o purpose_n to_o worship_n god_n aright_o as_o he_o have_v command_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n 3_o we_o seek_v the_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n of_o his_o faithful_a and_o obedient_a servant_n and_o together_o with_o they_o to_o enter_v covenant_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o proceed_v to_o a_o godly_a free_a and_o right_a choice_n of_o minister_n and_o other_o officer_n by_o he_o ordain_v to_o the_o service_n of_o his_o church_n 4_o we_o seek_v to_o establish_v and_o obey_v the_o ordinance_n and_o law_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n leave_v by_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n to_o the_o govern_n and_o guide_v of_o his_o church_n without_o alter_v change_a innovate_a wrest_a or_o leave_v out_o any_o of_o they_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v giveu_v sight_n of_o 5_o we_o purpose_v by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holyghost_n in_o this_o faith_n and_o order_n to_o lead_v our_o life_n and_o for_o this_o faith_n and_o order_n to_o leave_v our_o life_n if_o such_o be_v the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n to_o who_o be_v all_o glory_n and_o praise_n for_o

to_o any_o man_n that_o will_v judge_v or_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o allege_v &_o affirm_v they_o hainouslye_o faulty_a and_o wilfullye_o obstinate_a in_o these_o four_o
