least_o appearance_n of_o any_o ground_n for_o such_o a_o charge_n in_o this_o that_o i_o endeavour_v before_o all_o the_o world_n to_o convince_v you_o and_o your_o adherent_n of_o the_o falsehood_n of_o this_o conceit_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o tittle_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o point_v at_o christ_n as_o a_o light_n within_o every_o man_n conscience_n this_o you_o can_v not_o

see_v the_o most_o horrid_a and_o detestable_a falsehood_n of_o one_o of_o those_o absurd_a and_o contradictory_n calumny_n viz._n that_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n yea_o that_o he_o be_v a_o jesuit_n
