himself_o provide_v that_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o be_v divide_v against_o itself_o to_o perish_v 3._o a_o three_o perverse_a remedy_n be_v prohibition_n of_o dispute_n about_o religion_n which_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o most_o stupid_a ignorance_n and_o this_o be_v dangerous_a whether_o that_o religion_n which_o prevail_v among_o a_o people_n be_v true_a or_o false_a if_o true_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o inconstancy_n of_o man_n mind_n ready_a to_o be_v apostate_n from_o true_a religion_n there_o needs_o dispute_v to_o confirm_v it_o if_o false_a lest_o receive_v error_n shall_v be_v turn_v over_o and_o consecrate_v to_o perpetuity_n 4._o the_o romanist_n prescribe_v we_o three_o remedy_n more_o they_o send_v we_o to_o the_o catholiqne_a church_n that_o be_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n the_o cardinal_n inferior_a bishop_n and_o other_o praelaticall_a man_n subject_a to_o the_o pope_n and_o because_o they_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o subordinate_a bishop_n cardinal_n and_o prelate_n gather_v together_o may_v err_v they_o exempt_v the_o pope_n from_o a_o possibility_n of_o err_a and_o turn_v we_o over_o to_o his_o holiness_n for_o definitive_a sentence_n and_o peremptory_a decree_n in_o the_o doubt_n controversy_n and_o difference_n in_o religion_n but_o this_o remedy_n for_o two_o reason_n be_v vain_a first_o because_o the_o christian_a world_n can_v be_v convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o article_n of_o infallibility_n in_o the_o pope_n second_o when_o they_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v his_o holiness_n infallible_a by_o the_o scripture_n they_o teach_v we_o unaware_o to_o run_v to_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o great_a precedent_n and_o most_o certain_a determiner_n in_o religion_n 5._o if_o this_o way_n of_o cure_n do_v not_o please_v we_o they_o give_v we_o a_o receipt_n of_o all_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a father_n they_o bid_v we_o swallow_v and_o digest_v they_o and_o then_o pick_v out_o our_o religion_n from_o their_o consent_n and_o agreement_n but_o this_o remedy_n be_v hopeless_a for_o many_o reason_n but_o especial_o for_o that_o which_o the_o romanist_n with_o we_o agree_v upon_o namely_o that_o every_o father_n may_v err_v and_o be_v quite_o out_o as_o well_o as_o we_o 6._o for_o further_a remedy_n they_o send_v we_o to_o consult_v with_o the_o decree_n of_o antecedent_n counsel_n and_o if_o the_o controversy_n be_v there_o once_o decide_v they_o advise_v we_o not_o to_o call_v it_o again_o into_o question_n but_o what_o if_o a_o good_a cause_n be_v ill_o plead_v and_o cast_v not_o for_o any_o fault_n in_o itself_o but_o in_o the_o assertor_n silence_n for_o fear_n or_o unskilfulnesse_n in_o the_o patronage_n of_o his_o cause_n must_v we_o then_o take_v the_o result_n of_o his_o weakness_n for_o truth_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o a_o council_n 7._o some_o have_v think_v it_o a_o hopeful_a remedy_n in_o case_n of_o divide_a religion_n to_o supplicate_v god_n almighty_a that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o send_v some_o man_n from_o the_o dead_a that_o of_o he_o we_o may_v know_v how_o god_n judge_n of_o the_o opinion_n of_o dissent_v man_n but_o our_o saviour_n take_v we_o off_o from_o this_o luk_n 16._o they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n who_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v neither_o will_v they_o believe_v though_o one_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a 8._o there_o remain_v another_o horrible_a kind_n of_o remedy_n and_o yet_o sometime_o use_v namely_o the_o adjuration_n of_o damn_a spirit_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o possess_v man_n by_o exorcism_n and_o conjuration_n to_o make_v they_o answer_v concern_v the_o truth_n of_o controvert_v opinion_n and_o this_o be_v so_o execrable_a that_o i_o need_v say_v nothing_o against_o it_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n jesus_n will_v not_o take_v the_o testimony_n of_o such_o spirit_n concern_v he_o but_o command_v they_o to_o hold_v their_o peace_n but_o i_o dismiss_v these_o wild_a remedy_n and_o come_v to_o those_o which_o be_v vote_v sober_a holy_a and_o true_a by_o the_o most_o learned_a writer_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n which_o remedy_n may_v be_v distribute_v into_o rernedy_n preparatorie_n and_o remedy_n aphaereticall_a or_o powerful_a to_o take_v away_o dissension_n of_o mind_n in_o religion_n to_o the_o remedy_n preparatorie_n chief_o belong_v prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o god_n for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o impetration_n of_o christian_a peace_n which_o prayer_n join_v with_o fast_v and_o humiliation_n in_o dust_n and_o ash_n can_v but_o be_v efficacious_a because_o according_a to_o god_n own_o command_n we_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o israel_n to_o our_o prayer_n let_v a_o serious_a correction_n of_o our_o life_n be_v add_v or_o else_o our_o prayer_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o fruitless_a noise_n he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n

those_o which_o dissent_v from_o we_o in_o religion_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o error_n which_o we_o may_v easy_o do_v if_o we_o consider_v these_o four_o thing_n 1._o how_o difficult_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o discover_v truth_n and_o decline_v error_n 2._o that_o those_o who_o across_o our_o opinion_n do_v it_o rather_o out_o of_o ignorance_n than_o a_o study_a malice_n to_o procure_v eternal_a destruction_n for_o their_o own_o self_n and_o other_o 3._o that_o those_o who_o we_o apprehend_v to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o error_n may_v possible_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n elect_v and_o permit_v to_o fall_v into_o that_o error_n that_o god_n may_v raise_v they_o with_o more_o glory_n and_o can_v we_o then_o determine_v any_o thing_n rigorous_o against_o our_o brethren_n the_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o only_o the_o servant_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o elect_a heir_n of_o heaven_n thus_o much_o of_o preparatory_a remedy_n dispose_v we_o to_o the_o discovery_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o divide_a part_n in_o religion_n the_o piety_n and_o wisdom_n of_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o of_o this_o great_a and_o honourable_a council_n have_v already_o show_v we_o the_o most_o hopeful_a remedy_n of_o our_o distemper_n namely_o a_o synod_n the_o definition_n of_o which_o though_o it_o may_v be_v here_o not_o

have_v resolve_v with_o myself_o not_o to_o touch_v on_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o safe_a for_o i_o nor_o to_o say_v any_o thing_n which_o a_o wise_a man_n perhaps_o will_v not_o venture_v to_o
