for_o the_o acquire_v of_o all_o imaginable_a both_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a blessing_n to_o mankind_n sure_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o he_o can_v hardly_o have_v choose_v word_n more_o contrary_a to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o papacy_n and_o this_o the_o former_a chapter_n and_o many_o story_n do_v overabundant_o show_v for_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o rome_n be_v so_o far_o from_o defeat_v

whereas_o he_o say_v a_o man_n needs_o no_o more_o but_o to_o have_v eye_n in_o his_o head_n to_o see_v her_o charitablenesse_n it_o seem_v much_o rather_o that_o he_o who_o in_o numberless_a

and_o for_o profitable_a reason_n do_v not_o end_n at_o his_o end_n for_o seven_o proof_n of_o charity_n which_o he_o name_v be_v seven_o sacrament_n of_o which_o one_o begin_v at_o man_n birth_n and_o the_o last_o come_v as_o near_o his_o end_n as_o it_o may_v but_o when_o it_o can_v go_v no_o further_o it_o be_v lengthen_v with_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a which_o often_o bring_v good_a

of_o give_v baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o fruit_n and_o proof_n of_o romish_a charity_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o papacy_n must_v allow_v or_o suffer_v the_o give_v of_o these_o or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v under_o her_o throne_n that_o show_n of_o a_o church_n in_o which_o antichrist_n must_v sit_v that_o he_o may_v look_v like_o the_o beast_n which_o have_v horn_n of_o a_o

uncharitable_a error_n see_v it_o often_o damn_v child_n for_o want_n of_o that_o wash_n which_o they_o can_v not_o have_v in_o their_o mother_n belly_n for_o many_o thousand_o of_o infant_n must_v be_v damn_v by_o the_o same_o charitable_a opinion_n which_o make_v this_o haste_n to_o baptize_v other_o and_o although_o this_o opinion_n ancient_o may_v perchance_o be_v take_v for_o a_o error_n in_o judgement_n yet_o on_o the_o latter_a to_o who_o the_o point_n have_v be_v more_o plain_o clear_v it_o may_v much_o more_o probable_o lay_v a_o guilt_n of_o uncharitableness_n sure_o it_o be_v that_o if_o want_v of_o charity_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o yet_o want_v of_o charity_n do_v accompany_v or_o follow_v it_o as_o it_o do_v the_o popish_a belief_n of_o protestant_n

consider_v how_o this_o do_v give_v a_o proof_n of_o their_o charity_n when_o thereby_o they_o make_v the_o gospel_n of_o grace_n more_o deadly_a than_o the_o kill_a law_n for_o the_o law_n damn_v

this_o author_n go_v on_o still_o upon_o a_o false_a ground_n as_o if_o we_o say_v that_o all_o error_n in_o faith_n that_o may_v damn_v man_n be_v fundamental_a and_o express_o against_o some_o
