A62900	The principles of the Papists by which their leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous practices, plainly demonstrated by the Scriptures to be most erroneous and wicked. And a few better principles briefly laid down, for them (or others) to meditate on, tending to a peaceable life among men, &c. And also a few quæries left them last of all, to satisfie their consciences in. Partly for the sakes of those among them whose consciences have some tenderness in them, and are not quite feared: partly also for those who through ignorance are too much inclining to them. Also there may be some service of these things to others. By a lover of truth, mercifulness, plain-heartedness, humility and fidelity, W. T.

perhaps_o seem_v too_o harsh_a to_o some_o of_o they_o yet_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o such_o bad_a principle_n in_o person_n who_o pretend_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o authority_n and_o power_n derive_v from_o christ_n in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o in_o his_o service_n i_o can_v not_o use_v easy_a language_n than_o i_o have_v do_v and_o as_o i_o have_v here_o manifest_v the_o destructive_a principle_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o be_v most_o erroneous_a and_o wicked_a i_o say_v the_o same_o against_o the_o destructive_a zeal_n of_o any_o professor_n of_o christianity_n upon_o what_o principle_n soever_o they_o go_v and_o under_o what_o name_n soever_o they_o stand_v and_o likewise_o affirm_v that_o no_o destructive_a zeal_n be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o have_v create_v we_o and_o make_v we_o new_a creature_n for_o as_o god_n send_v not_o his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v so_o he_o come_v not_o a_o destroyer_n but_o a_o saviour_n to_o save_v man_n life_n therefore_o will_v he_o not_o suffer_v james_n and_o john_n to_o destroy_v nor_o peter_n when_o he_o draw_v his_o sword_n and_o cut_v off_o malchus_n his_o ear_n but_o bid_v

impartial_a while_o they_o consider_v they_o 1._o whether_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v up_o a_o outward_a succession_n again_o since_o he_o lay_v aside_o abraham_n natural_a succession_n 2._o

because_o christ_n come_v to_o enlighten_v the_o world_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o darkness_n but_o the_o pope_n stop_v the_o light_n and_o keep_v man_n in_o darkness_n second_o christ_n come_v to_o raise_v up_o a_o harmless_a inoffensive_a quiet_a innocent_a people_n and_o of_o they_o a_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n where_o nothing_o shall_v hurt_v nor_o destroy_v but_o the_o pope_n

bring_v forth_o a_o people_n that_o shall_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n such_o as_o the_o father_n seek_v to_o worship_v he_o but_o the_o pope_n require_v such_o worshipper_n as_o will_v stoop_v to_o his_o superstition_n and_o idolatrous_a worship_n after_o the_o formality_n that_o he_o prescribe_v or_o else_o they_o must_v expect_v a_o inquisition_n or_o some_o other_o usage_n as_o bad_a now_o consider_v whether_o he_o that_o thus_o oppose_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n coming_z be_v not_o a_o enemy_n 5._o whether_o he_o that_o know_v sin_n aforehand_o and_o yet_o entice_v or_o encourage_v his_o child_n into_o it_o by_o promise_v they_o pardon_n and_o indemnity_n if_o they_o do_v it_o do_v not_o very_o apt_o follow_v the_o step_n of_o that_o old_a serpent_n that_o deceive_v eve_n who_o tell_v she_o you_o shall_v not_o die_v though_o you_o eat_v 6._o whether_o those_o roman_a casuist_n do_v err_v that_o say_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o swear_v a_o falsehood_n if_o they_o have_v a_o reserve_v in_o their_o mind_n to_o salve_v it_o with_o or_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n that_o err_v in_o promise_a pardon_n for_o such_o oath_n so_o make_v they_o sin_n for_o
