thereof_o now_o your_o church_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o enervate_v and_o in_o a_o manner_n dissolve_v and_o abrogate_v many_o of_o these_o precept_n teach_v man_n that_o they_o be_v not_o law_n

will_v be_v content_a to_o taste_v of_o purgatory_n in_o the_o way_n he_o may_v obtain_v it_o at_o any_o easy_a purchase_n therefore_o the_o religion_n of_o your_o church_n be_v not_o so_o holy_a

that_o see_v every_o man_n must_v resolve_v that_o he_o will_v never_o commit_v mortal_a sin_n that_o he_o must_v never_o examine_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o at_o all_o for_o fear_v he_o shall_v be_v

in_o darkness_n but_o that_o your_o follow_a word_n to_o my_o understanding_n declare_v sufficient_o that_o you_o speak_v of_o both_o sort_n for_o there_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o damn_v not_o any_o man_n that_o die_v with_o the_o esteem_n of_o a_o protestant_n be_v 1._o because_o you_o be_v not_o always_o acquaint_v with_o what_o sufficiency_n of_o mean_n he_o be_v

may_v clear_v his_o error_n which_o belong_v to_o those_o which_o be_v esteem_v protestant_n but_o indeed_o be_v not_o so_o 4._o because_o you_o have_v no_o revelation_n what_o contrition_n may_v

yet_o that_o which_o you_o say_v do_v plain_o enough_o afford_v we_o these_o corollary_n 1_o that_o whatsoever_o protestant_n want_v capacity_n or_o have_v it_o want_v sufficient_a mean_n of_o instruction_n to_o convince_v his_o conscience_n of_o the_o falsehood_n of_o his_o own_o and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n by_o the_o confession_n of_o his_o most_o rigid_a adversary_n may_v be_v save_v notwithstanding_o any_o error_n in_o his_o religion_n 2_o that_o nothing_o hinder_v but_o that_o a_o protestant_n die_v a_o protestant_n may_v die_v with_o contrition_n for_o all_o

state_v but_o as_o i_o conceive_v grant_v the_o very_a point_n in_o question_n which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v out_o of_o c._n m._n whether_o without_o uncharitableness_n you_o may_v pronounce_v that_o protestant_n die_v in_o the_o belief_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o without_o particular_a repentance_n and_o dereliction_n of_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v save_v which_o c._n m._n

therefore_o sure_a not_o charitable_o neither_o of_o those_o protestant_n that_o want_v mean_n sufficient_a to_o instruct_v and_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o your_o religion_n and_o the_o falsehood_n of_o their_o own_o nor_o of_o those_o who_o though_o they_o have_v neglect_v the_o mean_n they_o may_v have_v have_v die_v with_o contrition_n that_o be_v with_o a_o sorrow_n for_o all_o their_o sin_n proceed_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o that_o according_a to_o your_o doctrine_n it_o shall_v remain_v upon_o such_o only_a as_o either_o be_v or_o but_o for_o their_o own_o

doctrine_n if_o you_o will_v stand_v to_o and_o not_o pull_v down_o and_o pull_v back_o with_o one_o hand_n what_o you_o give_v and_o build_v with_o the_o other_o this_o controversy_n be_v end_v and_o i_o shall_v willing_o acknowledge_v that_o which_o follow_v in_o your_o four_o paragraph_n that_o you_o allow_v protestant_n as_o much_o charity_n as_o d._n potter_n allow_v you_o but_o then_o i_o must_v entreat_v you_o to_o alter_v the_o argument_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o not_o to_o go_v about_o to_o give_v we_o reason_n why_o among_o man_n of_o different_a religion_n one_o side_n only_o

of_o conviction_n or_o else_o repentance_n excuse_v the_o other_o beside_o you_o must_v not_o only_o abstain_v from_o damn_v any_o protestant_n in_o particular_a but_o from_o affirm_v in_o general_a that_o protestant_n die_v in_o their_o religion_n can_v be_v save_v for_o you_o must_v always_o remember_v to_o add_v this_o caution_n unless_o they_o be_v excusable_o
