truth_n that_o in_o a_o word_n all_o who_o be_v great_a rational_a and_o spiritual_a in_o the_o kingdom_n will_v give_v their_o heart_n and_o mind_n to_o the_o most_o just_a verity_n one_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o debate_n of_o religion_n that_o which_o fall_v out_o in_o all_o other_o quarrel_n one_o never_o yield_v to_o declare_v enemy_n till_o after_o they_o have_v try_v the_o misfortune_n of_o arm_n and_o then_o the_o submission_n increase_v the_o rage_n of_o the_o overcome_a and_o beget_v such_o grudge_n as_o be_v the_o father_n or_o child_n of_o desperate_a action_n but_o in_o a_o cessation_n of_o fight_n they_o speak_v together_o they_o hear_v one_o another_o they_o join_v their_o interest_n and_o every_o one_o have_v time_n to_o do_v justice_n to_o himself_o and_o other_o if_o we_o can_v have_v in_o france_n so_o sweet_a a_o way_n to_o perfect_a peace_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o miraculous_a effect_n and_o soon_o than_o one_o can_v believe_v of_o this_o desire_a unity_n because_o every_o one_o be_v dis-engaged_n from_o the_o authority_n of_o stranger_n without_o fear_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o king_n order_n will_v bind_v himself_o willing_o to_o his_o natural_a prince_n who_o be_v most_o christian_a rather_o than_o to_o tie_v himself_o to_o the_o roman_a monarch_n who_o appear_v very_o jealous_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v serve_v and_o so_o not_o part_v their_o heart_n they_o will_v unite_v their_o soul_n if_o a_o frenchman_n be_v in_o necessity_n of_o have_v a_o dispensation_n for_o marriage_n will_v he_o not_o be_v content_a rather_o to_o obtain_v it_o of_o the_o king_n than_o to_o buy_v it_o of_o rome_n especial_o when_o in_o these_o day_n they_o cost_v four_o time_n more_o than_o ordinary_a to_o make_v war_n against_o candia_n i_o believe_v not_o but_o that_o pastor_n ordain_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o canonical_o receive_v by_o the_o church_n will_v be_v as_o satisfactory_a and_o as_o full_o authorize_v as_o by_o the_o power_n of_o rome_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v well_o think_v upon_o the_o establishment_n of_o this_o sweet_a agreement_n the_o fruit_n which_o it_o will_v produce_v will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o the_o king_n desire_v for_o his_o people_n 28._o this_o matter_n of_o religion_n have_v be_v discourse_v where_o there_o be_v many_o of_o both_o religion_n one_o

the_o reform_a to_o the_o romish_a religion_n the_o one_a reason_n be_v that_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o cease_v believe_v that_o which_o be_v uncertain_a than_o to_o begin_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o appear_v to_o be_v false_a for_o example_n i_o give_v you_o the_o creed_n of_o the_o reality_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o only_a and_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o purgatory_n and_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o saint_n depart_v who_o they_o pray_v to_o the_o reality_n of_o christ_n being_n carnal_o in_o the_o bread_n be_v so_o uncertain_a that_o it_o depend_v upon_o the_o well-making_a of_o the_o bread_n the_o right_a ordination_n of_o the_o priest_n upon_o the_o true_a pronunciation_n of_o the_o word_n &_o upon_o the_o fix_a attention_n of_o the_o priest_n all_o these_o necessary_a condition_n be_v only_o suppose_v or_o believe_v by_o a_o charitable_a faith_n the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o pope_n depend_v upon_o his_o lawful_a election_n which_o be_v often_o so_o obscure_a and_o appear_v so_o clear_o defective_a or_o so_o open_o criminal_a that_o many_o decade_n of_o year_n have_v pass_v in_o which_o one_o know_v not_o which_o pope_n to_o obey_v if_o there_o be_v two_o choose_v and_o where_o there_o be_v but_o one_o simony_n be_v so_o ordinary_a that_o all_o pope_n be_v suspect_v of_o it_o purgatory_n be_v propose_v as_o a_o place_n in_o the_o hollow_a of_o the_o earth_n holy_a authority_n speak_v not_o a_o word_n of_o it_o the_o ancient_n creed_n speak_v nothing_o of_o it_o the_o greek_a church_n despise_v it_o eye_n can_v see_v it_o reason_n can_v understand_v it_o the_o perfect_a grace_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o favour_v it_o the_o vision_n of_o soul_n who_o come_v again_o clothe_v in_o

the_o good_a it_o bring_v to_o the_o priest_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o soul_n depart_v to_o who_o they_o pray_v can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o a_o popular_a opinion_n which_o have_v but_o little_o

of_o a_o roman-catholique_a find_n in_o its_o self_n these_o proof_n to_o be_v so_o uncertain_a as_o well_o in_o the_o essential_o as_o circumstatials_n will_v have_v much_o less_o a_o do_v to_o deny_v his_o full_a consent_n than_o a_o protestant_n to_o give_v his_o because_o reason_n and_o faith_n will_v fly_v uncertainty_n and_o can_v seek_v for_o they_o nor_o love_v they_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o roman-catholiques_a do_v believe_v all_o that_o which_o the_o protestant_a do_v positive_o avow_v in_o respect_n of_o god_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n of_o

this_o common_a belief_n it_o be_v more_o easy_a for_o rational_a mind_n tolimit_v themselves_o to_o this_o faith_n so_o ancient_a and_o general_a than_o to_o increase_v it_o by_o article_n of_o humane_a faith_n which_o have_v not_o the_o principle_n nor_o just_a character_n of_o divine_a authority_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n may_v have_v the_o same_o comfort_n of_o spirit_n by_o the_o protestant_a religion_n have_v lay_v aside_o the_o mystery_n which_o be_v add_v to_o the_o primitive_a faith_n that_o which_o the_o protestant_n may_v not_o do_v when_o they_o go_v to_o the_o roman_a communion_n a_o christian_a soul_n may_v comfort_v itself_o without_o the_o reality_n of_o flesh_n if_o it_o unite_v itself_o spiritual_o to_o jesus_n christ_n by_o have_v respect_n to_o he_o knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o a_o sincere_a love_n for_o he_o one_o be_v more_o satisfy_v to_o believe_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n capable_a to_o carry_v our_o soul_n to_o

the_o law_n and_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o upon_o the_o politic_n of_o the_o decretal_n and_o upon_o the_o engine_n du_fw-fr droit_fw-fr canon_n prayer_n have_v much_o more_o justice_n and_o
