spill_v mere_o upon_o carnal_a motive_n religion_n be_v indeed_o partly_o pretend_v but_o draw_v this_o fair_a curtain_n aside_o and_o behind_o it_o there_o stand_v the_o carnal_a care_n of_o self-seeking_a seek_v to_o save_v our_o skin_n and_o purse_n we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o suffer_v for_o religion_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v establish_v a_o religion_n according_a to_o our_o own_o

our_o saviour_n do_v enjoin_v his_o disciple_n to_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o command_v they_o to_o impose_v the_o cross_n on_o other_o and_o when_o

forbid_v peter_n to_o use_v a_o sword_n for_o his_o own_o defence_n neither_o will_v it_o help_v to_o say_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v at_o that_o time_n to_o suffer_v for_o our_o redemption_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o do_v forbid_v peter_n to_o use_v a_o sword_n in_o his_o defence_n have_v our_o saviour_n aim_v at_o nothing_o else_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o have_v rebuke_v peter_n for_o his_o present_a action_n without_o mention_n of_o a_o rule_n for_o perpetuity_n but_o when_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o only_o rebuke_v he_o but_o also_o as_o a_o reason_n of_o his_o rebuke_n do_v annex_v the_o establishment_n of_o a_o perpetual_a law_n all_o that_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v by_o the_o sword_n he_o do_v thereby_o show_v that_o not_o only_o at_o that_o time_n
