most_o infallible_a mark_n of_o a_o orthodox_n man_n he_o that_o be_v endow_v with_o it_o though_o he_o may_v err_v can_v be_v a_o heretic_n if_o i_o be_v as_o bold_a as_o you_o dear_a cousin_n i_o will_v apply_v to_o you_o a_o fine_a passage_n of_o our_o worthy_a archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n in_o his_o sermon_n upon_o luke_n 10.42_o wherein_o he_o blame_v the_o rashness_n of_o those_o who_o like_v you_o dare_v censure_v error_n and_o heresy_n in_o other_o whilst_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o think_v of_o cure_v those_o lust_n vice_n and_o passion_n which_o so_o visible_o reign_v in_o they_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o cite_v that_o general_a reflection_n of_o his_o concern_v those_o pretend_a orthodox_n delude_v people_n say_v he_o that_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o great_a heresy_n in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o wicked_a life_n because_o it_o be_v so_o direct_o and_o so_o fundamental_o opposite_a to_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o religion_n and_o that_o god_n will_v soon_o forgive_v a_o man_n a_o hundred_o defect_n of_o his_o understanding_n than_o one_o fault_n of_o his_o will._n and_o to_o show_v you_o in_o one_o word_n that_o when_o you_o attribute_v immodesty_n wantonness_n and_o pride_n to_o heretic_n you_o act_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o church_n the_o testimony_n of_o one_o of_o your_o teacher_n only_o will_v suffice_v since_o he_o speak_v for_o the_o whole_a clergy_n i_o mean_v the_o author_n of_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o conform_a clergy_n from_o the_o unjust_a aspersion_n of_o heresy_n that_o heresy_n be_v no_o less_o than_o pelagianism_n and_o socinianism_n see_v how_o he_o vindicate_v your_o teacher_n the_o reason_n say_v he_o why_o they_o be_v accuse_v of_o heresy_n be_v their_o
