not_o all_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o god_n the_o mahometan_a doctor_n glory_v also_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o many_o sect_n you_o must_v nevertheless_o observe_v that_o this_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n be_v no_o way_n hurtful_a to_o the_o state_n for_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o religion_n and_o as_o the_o fundamental_a article_n be_v very_o few_o in_o number_n they_o have_v a_o entire_a liberty_n to_o dispute_v of_o a_o infinity_o of_o important_a point_n and_o judge_v of_o they_o as_o they_o please_v without_o be_v repute_v heretic_n or_o schismatic_n for_o it_o this_o great_a division_n pass_v among_o they_o for_o a_o war_n of_o metaphysic_n where_o one_o have_v one_o sentiment_n another_o another_o as_o among_o the_o scotist_n and_o thomist_n they_o say_v that_o all_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v believe_v be_v contain_v in_o the_o alcoran_n and_o assona_fw-la or_o tradition_n but_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a difficult_a point_n therein_o about_o which_o the_o doctor_n ought_v to_o be_v consult_v and_o who_o decision_n they_o ought_v to_o stand_v to_o however_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o decision_n of_o their_o doctor_n be_v infallible_a for_o probability_n alone_o suffice_v to_o put_v their_o conscience_n in_o repose_n and_o although_o '_o they_o may_v be_v false_a they_o do_v not_o sin_n in_o credit_v of_o they_o for_o say_v they_o god_n have_v command_v those_o that_o be_v not_o know_v in_o the_o law_n to_o follow_v the_o doctor_n that_o instruct_v they_o and_o not_o to_o examine_v too_o scrupulous_o if_o their_o decision_n be_v true_a beside_o it_o be_v a_o great_a point_n of_o their_o policy_n not_o to_o insist_v but_o upon_o a_o few_o fundamental_a and_o necessary_a point_n of_o salvation_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o of_o such_o great_a philosopher_n they_o shall_v produce_v a_o great_a number_n of_o heresy_n if_o their_o religion_n have_v consist_v of_o many_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o difficult_a belief_n this_o great_a liberty_n therefore_o which_o they_o have_v to_o speak_v at_o their_o pleasure_n of_o all_o matter_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o fundamental_a article_n have_v produce_v a_o infinity_n of_o sect_n who_o all_o endeavour_n to_o destroy_v one-another_o for_o that_o every_o sect_n

that_o same_o will_n within_o the_o time_n they_o dispute_v of_o predestination_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o man_n if_o he_o produce_v his_o action_n himself_o or_o be_v it_o god_n alone_o who_o be_v

the_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n other_o on_o the_o contrary_n give_v all_o to_o the_o creature_n and_o will_v have_v that_o god_n repose_v himself_o without_o have_v need_n to_o be_v occupy_v about_o our_o affair_n there_o be_v some_o of_o they_o who_o pretend_v that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o that_o it_o come_v of_o itself_o and_o from_o our_o own_o good_a

say_v that_o god_n consider_v not_o our_o merit_n but_o his_o own_o will_v alone_o and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o who_o he_o please_v and_o be_v no_o less_o the_o author_n of_o evil_n than_o of_o good_n this_o opinion_n which_o be_v very_o common_a among_o the_o turk_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o idea_n which_o they_o have_v of_o all_o the_o divine_a power_n to_o who_o they_o attribute_v all_o thing_n as_o if_o the_o creature_n be_v but_o mere_a instrument_n they_o believe_v for_o example_n that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o produce_v heat_n in_o the_o hand_n and_o not_o the_o fire_n that_o the_o victual_n which_o we_o eat_v do_v not_o nourish_v we_o but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n alone_o that_o do_v that_o in_o we_o for_o say_v they_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mover_n

so_o great_a and_o absolute_a a_o indifference_n thereto_o final_o they_o hold_v great_a dispute_n touch_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o bless_a some_o believe_v that_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o bless_a be_v a_o true_a liberty_n other_o pretend_v that_o it_o merit_v rather_o the_o name_n of_o necessity_n than_o liberty_n have_v no_o indifference_n the_o nature_n of_o habit_n which_o have_v be_v

of_o faith_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o believe_v they_o implicit_o and_o in_o gross_a and_o they_o find_v this_o upon_o a_o principle_n that_o be_v very_o common_a to_o the_o turk_n to_o wit_n that_o to_o believe_v a_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o know_v nor_o comprehend_v it_o that_o god_n punish_v not_o the_o faithful_a for_o not_o take_v great_a care_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o their_o
