unmovable_a in_o his_o heart_n man_n that_o be_v verse_v in_o public_a treaty_n about_o the_o cause_n and_o experience_v in_o state_n affair_n chief_o in_o the_o germane_a prince_n court_n such_o a_o one_o be_v n._n n._n without_o who_o judgement_n and_o experience_n i_o conceive_v his_o business_n can_v hardly_o be_v well_o contrive_v in_o respect_n of_o germany_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o he_o be_v maintain_v to_o be_v perpetual_o about_o he_o for_o he_o be_v a_o very_a religious_a and_o know_a man_n and_o of_o singular_a use_n in_o this_o work_n for_o the_o contrivance_n of_o the_o counsel_n thereof_o towards_o foreign_a state_n and_o beside_o he_o one_o or_o two_o state_n man_n more_o can_v be_v name_v but_o i_o leave_v this_o and_o will_v come_v to_o the_o undertake_n of_o the_o work_n not_o of_o the_o outward_a military_a supply_n which_o may_v be_v send_v for_o he_o but_o of_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o the_o work_n which_o shall_v tend_v to_o uphold_v protestancy_n against_o popery_n not_o only_o in_o germany_n but_o everywhere_o else_o i_o conceive_v then_o that_o such_o as_o undertake_v to_o restore_v the_o house_n palatine_n in_o germany_n shall_v make_v the_o quarrel_n not_o in_o pretence_n but_o in_o truth_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o shall_v resolve_v to_o handle_v the_o cause_n in_o a_o religious_a way_n as_o well_o as_o by_o force_n the_o cause_n then_o of_o maintain_v the_o religion_n and_o liberty_n of_o protestant_n in_o germany_n aught_o to_o be_v make_v a_o public_a business_n and_o in_o all_o treaty_n with_o foreign_a state_n and_o deliberation_n about_o foreign_a affair_n it_o ought_v to_o come_v into_o consideration_n and_o all_o ambassador_n towards_o other_o protestant_n shall_v be_v instruct_v to_o deal_v with_o they_o for_o a_o concurrence_n in_o it_o and_o in_o effect_n become_v like_o unto_o the_o advice_n of_o cato_n for_o the_o destroy_n of_o carthage_n a_o appendix_n to_o every_o counsel_n give_v in_o the_o senate_n if_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n shall_v be_v make_v a_o public_a business_n then_o public_a way_n and_o mean_n must_v be_v use_v to_o advance_v protestancy_n so_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o religion_n ought_v to_o be_v advance_v that_o be_v without_o partiality_n and_o by_o respect_n or_o private_a end_n and_o affection_n by_o take_v protestancy_n in_o the_o true_a notion_n thereof_o as_o it_o stand_v in_o its_o principle_n opposite_a to_o popery_n and_o to_o advance_v it_o thus_o take_v two_o kind_n of_o mean_n shall_v be_v set_v a-work_o the_o one_o shall_v serve_v to_o make_v know_v unto_o the_o world_n what_o true_a protestancy_n be_v the_o other_o shall_v serve_v to_o oppose_v the_o way_n of_o popery_n in_o undermine_v it_o i_o will_v name_v only_o the_o head_n of_o these_o mean_n as_o now_o they_o lie_v in_o my_o conception_n to_o make_v true_a protestancy_n know_v unto_o the_o world_n thought_n must_v be_v have_v how_o to_o make_v the_o tenor_n of_o their_o common_a faith_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o practice_n in_o their_o public_a and_o private_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n better_a evident_a unto_o the_o world_n then_o hitherto_o they_o have_v be_v for_o the_o tenor_n of_o their_o common_a faith_n it_o may_v be_v evident_a two_o way_n first_o if_o the_o harmony_n of_o confession_n be_v reprint_v for_o it_o be_v whole_o out_o of_o print_n and_o in_o some_o thing_n enlarge_v and_o complete_v second_o if_o a_o course_n can_v be_v take_v to_o make_v scriptural_a knowledge_n more_o common_a to_o all_o in_o the_o plain_a and_o evident_a truth_n thereof_o and_o less_o entangle_v in_o dispute_n and_o subject_a to_o various_a interpretation_n among_o the_o learned_a the_o first_o may_v be_v do_v by_o use_v mean_n to_o make_v the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o clear_a doctrine_n thereof_o plain_a for_o the_o vulgar_a use_n and_o fit_a for_o the_o ordinary_a read_n of_o all_o man_n by_o the_o print_n of_o bible_n with_o note_n and_o brief_a explication_n wherein_o all_o protestant_n shall_v agree_v and_o consent_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n the_o second_o may_v be_v do_v by_o some_o common_a rule_n and_o method_n of_o interpretation_n of_o place_n doubtful_a whereupon_o the_o godly_a learned_a can_v be_v move_v to_o agree_v among_o themselves_o that_o by_o common_a principle_n in_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n and_o by_o a_o way_n of_o analyse_a the_o text_n and_o draw_v consequence_n therefrom_o which_o shall_v be_v agree_v upon_o by_o common_a consent_n of_o the_o learned_a they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o avoid_v private_a interpretation_n and_o disputable_a doubt_n in_o doctrine_n which_o obscure_a much_o the_o faith_n and_o trouble_v the_o weak_a professor_n and_o keep_v off_o doubt_v papist_n from_o be_v full_o convict_v this_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n if_o it_o can_v be_v have_v to_o enlarge_v very_o much_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o confirm_v it_o without_o danger_n of_o division_n it_o will_v also_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o reconcile_a different_a opinion_n without_o all_o danger_n of_o betray_v truth_n or_o suppress_v it_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o much_o fear_v in_o the_o work_n of_o peace_n ecclesiastical_a concerning_o the_o rule_n of_o protestant_n common_a practice_n in_o their_o public_a and_o private_a walk_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v set_v forth_o as_o much_o to_o advance_v themselves_o in_o the_o reformation_n of_o their_o religious_a walk_n as_o to_o vindicate_v the_o credit_n of_o their_o profession_n against_o malicious_a aspersion_n here_o than_o mean_n shall_v be_v think_v upon_o how_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o public_a worship_n in_o their_o ecclesiastical_a meeting_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n to_o put_v forth_o prayer_n and_o praise_n to_o god_n and_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o

wherein_o they_o maintain_v against_o popery_n that_o god_n worship_n shall_v be_v true_o spiritual_a according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o not_o clog_v and_o mix_v with_o human_a invention_n and_o to_o
