appear_v outward_o to_o keep_v some_o point_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n transgress_v against_o as_o great_a head_n of_o the_o same_o for_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o abhor_v

to_o consider_v and_o hard_o to_o be_v beleve_v of_o the_o godly_a in_o other_o country_n see_v the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n be_v daily_o so_o clear_o beat_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o estate_n

give_v overgood_a occasion_n to_o papist_n to_o rail_v against_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n who_o cry_v out_o and_o affirm_v that_o many_o prince_n nobleman_n earl_n and_o barronne_n for_o that_o cause_n have_v casten_z off_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o roman_a kirk_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o free_o invade_v and_o possess_v at_o their_o pleasure_n the_o kirk_n good_n doubtless_o they_o who_o give_v occasion_n to_o so_o great_a a_o slander_n shall_v render_v a_o very_a severe_a count_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o very_a heathen_a that_o have_v decore_v and_o in_o ignorance_n bestow_v large_o upon_o their_o idol_n service_n shall_v stand_v up_o to_o condemn_v the_o sacrilegeous_a impiety_n of_o these_o man_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n then_o to_o enter_v in_o the_o deduction_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o mind_n first_o as_o the_o lord_n will_v assist_v i_o to_o declare_v how_o diverslie_o the_o name_n of_o sacrilege_n be_v take_v by_o writer_n and_o how_o many_o kind_n thereof_o
