and_o willing_o come_v to_o the_o light_n admit_v any_o reasonable_a and_o indifferent_a mean_n of_o trial_n but_o the_o bad_a spirit_n hate_v light_a and_o come_v not_o to_o the_o light_n but_o fly_v all_o public_a and_o indifferent_a mean_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v examine_v i_o wish_v the_o gentle_a reader_n due_o to_o consider_v how_o this_o property_n of_o the_o good_a spirit_n agree_v to_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o the_o property_n of_o the_o bad_a spirit_n agree_v to_o the_o protestant_n congregation_n on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v see_v how_o much_o the_o catholic_a church_n love_v light_a in_o that_o the_o doctor_n thereof_o in_o théir_n public_a write_n ordinary_o use_v to_o explicate_v and_o set_v down_o clear_o and_o sincere_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n in_o controversy_n second_o they_o true_o set_v down_o the_o opinion_n and_o argument_n of_o their_o adversary_n and_o this_o sometime_o more_o full_o than_o be_v do_v by_o their_o
