in_o christendom_n if_o prince_n will_v serious_o consider_v this_o matter_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o they_o will_v rule_v with_o clemency_n and_o moderation_n and_o return_v to_o that_o excellent_a maxim_n of_o the_o ancient_n almost_o explode_v in_o this_o age_n that_o the_o interest_n of_o king_n and_o of_o their_o people_n be_v the_o same_o which_o truth_n it_o have_v be_v the_o whole_a design_n of_o my_o write_n to_o convince_v they_o of_o i_o be_o charge_v then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n with_o impiety_n in_o villify_a the_o church_n and_o so_o to_o make_v way_n for_o atheism_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o i_o have_v very_o frequent_o in_o my_o write_n lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n not_o only_o for_o all_o the_o misgovernment_n of_o

can_v tend_v to_o teach_v man_n impiety_n or_o to_o make_v way_n for_o atheism_n i_o peremptory_o deny_v and_o although_o for_o proof_n of_o my_o innocence_n herein_o i_o need_v but_o refer_v you_o

be_v ever_o my_o way_n of_o argue_v yet_o since_o i_o be_o put_v upon_o it_o i_o shall_v in_o a_o few_o line_n make_v that_o matter_n possible_o a_o little_a clear_a and_o shall_v first_o make_v protestation_n that_o as_o i_o do_v undoubted_o hope_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o faith_n in_o he_o to_o attain_v eternal_a salvation_n so_o i_o do_v firm_o believe_v the_o christian_a profession_n to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a religion_n now_o in_o the_o world_n next_o i_o be_o full_o persuade_v that_o all_o divine_a verity_n which_o god_n then_o design_v to_o teach_v the_o world_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n as_o they_o be_v now_o extant_a and_o receive_v among_o we_o from_o they_o i_o understand_v that_o god_n create_v man_n in_o

upon_o their_o posterity_n that_o almighty_a god_n to_o repair_v this_o loss_n do_v out_o of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o with_o unparalleled_a grace_n and_o goodness_n send_v his_o only_o beget_v

and_o lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n now_o if_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o as_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o first_o parents_n do_v at_o that_o time_n disappoint_v the_o good_a intention_n of_o god_n in_o make_v a_o pure_a world_n and_o bring_v in_o by_o their_o disobedience_n the_o corruption_n that_o be_v now_o in_o it_o so_o that_o since_o likewise_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n by_o their_o

save_v thus_o soul_n hereafter_o if_o i_o say_v this_o do_v appear_v i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o for_o detect_v thus_o much_o and_o for_o give_v warning_n to_o the_o world_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o their_o way_n shall_v be_v accuse_v of_o impiety_n or_o atheism_n or_o why_o his_o holiness_n shall_v be_v so_o enrage_v against_o the_o poor_a inhabitant_n of_o the_o valley_n in_o savoy_n and_o against_o the_o albigesi_n for_o call_v he_o antichrist_n but_o to_o find_v that_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n i_o mean_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v corrupt_v christian_a religion_n we_o need_v but_o read_v the_o new_a testament_n acknowledge_v by_o themselves_o to_o be_v of_o infallible_a truth_n and_o there_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o faith_n and_o religion_n preach_v by_o

nay_o we_o have_v something_o more_o to_o say_v against_o these_o sacrilegious_a pretender_n to_o god_n power_n for_o whereas_o all_o other_o false_a worship_n have_v be_v set_v up_o by_o some_o

have_v deform_v the_o face_n of_o government_n in_o europe_n destroy_v all_o the_o good_a principle_n and_o morality_n leave_v we_o by_o the_o heathen_a themselves_o and_o introduce_v instead_o thereof_o sordid_a cowardly_a and_o impolitic_a notion_n whereby_o they_o have_v subject_v mankind_n and_o even_o great_a prince_n and_o state_n to_o their_o own_o empire_n and_o never_o suffer_v any_o order_n of_o maxim_n to_o take_v place_n where_o they_o have_v power_n that_o may_v make_v a_o nation_n wise_a honest_a great_a or_o wealthy_a this_o i_o have_v set_v down_o so_o plain_o in_o

of_o death_n he_o will_v have_v be_v despise_v for_o his_o pain_n and_o have_v be_v think_v rather_o a_o bruit_n than_o a_o man_n again_o shall_v a_o man_n have_v be_v observe_v to_o starve_v his_o

not_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o that_o hard_a and_o rustic_a way_n of_o live_v as_o of_o other_o way_n that_o be_v more_o soft_a and_o effeminate_a have_v great_a conformity_n and_o correspondence_n

to_o the_o public_a and_o several_a other_o thing_n that_o may_v easy_o accommodate_v with_o our_o time_n and_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o difficult_a to_o be_v introduce_v provide_v it_o be_v do_v

seem_v to_o find_v fault_n with_o all_o those_o who_o in_o their_o great_a and_o weighty_a affair_n do_v not_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o our_o ancestor_n suppose_v thereby_o i_o may_v be_v more_o

of_o our_o ancestor_n and_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o in_o your_o war_n which_o be_v your_o profession_n and_o excellence_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o you_o have_v make_v use_n of_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o ancient_a method_n and_o discipline_n or_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o resemble_v it_o fabritio_n you_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o point_n where_o i_o expect_v you_o and_o indeed_o my_o

your_o desire_n and_o my_o own_o and_o that_o the_o more_o large_o because_o both_o time_n and_o place_n concur_v to_o our_o convenience_n man_n who_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v any_o great_a action_n

have_v make_v to_o reduce_v our_o militia_n into_o the_o form_n of_o the_o ancient_n if_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o reduce_v it_o i_o conceive_v i_o can_v just_o be_v condemn_v either_o by_o you_o or_o
