which_o christianity_n oblige_v i_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v false_a by_o the_o same_o judgement_n be_v ground_v on_o my_o fallible_a authority_n for_o by_o judge_v it_o fallible_a i_o judge_v

against_o his_o conscience_n in_o change_v who_o have_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v change_v in_o case_n he_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o catholic_a and_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v be_v

make_v of_o it_o be_v in_o truth_n the_o least_o which_o the_o bishop_n word_n will_v natural_o bear_v and_o i_o may_v safe_o put_v the_o cause_n upon_o this_o issue_n whether_o such_o a_o discourse_n may_v not_o reasonable_o add_v more_o to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_a let_v we_o hear_v now_o what_o he_o have_v to_o answer_v and_o i_o will_v reply_v brief_o because_o i_o have_v take_v away_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o argument_n already_o first_o he_o say_v in_o effect_n that_o the_o bishop_n authority_n and_o example_n ought_v to_o have_v prevail_v with_o she_o on_o the_o one_o side_n more_o than_o his_o concession_n on_o the_o other_o i_o reply_v not_o his_o authority_n because_o he_o speak_v more_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o against_o it_o nor_o his_o example_n for_o he_o give_v she_o no_o encouragement_n to_o follow_v it_o by_o say_v that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o catholic_a he_o will_v not_o have_v change_v his_o example_n of_o pray_v daily_o for_o the_o dead_a show_v his_o opinion_n at_o the_o bottom_n but_o his_o not_o public_o own_v that_o he_o do_v so_o have_v prove_v he_o little_a better_o than_o a_o black_a bishop_n who_o be_v enter_v private_o into_o the_o white_a one_o walk_v our_o author_n ask_v in_o the_o second_o place_n why_o any_o person_n shall_v forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n wherein_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v be_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o i_o inquire_v how_o she_o can_v be_v bind_v to_o believe_v he_o since_o confession_n and_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v want_v in_o it_o one_o of_o which_o he_o have_v before_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v command_v of_o god_n the_o other_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o ancient_a thing_n in_o christianity_n three_o he_o urge_v that_o the_o bishop_n have_v tell_v she_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a thing_n to_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o i_o reply_v that_o the_o answerer_n have_v falsify_v his_o word_n the_o bishop_n only_o think_v it_o very_o ill_a to_o give_v that_o scandal_n as_o to_o leave_v the_o church_n wherein_o he_o be_v baptise_a first_o he_o speak_v of_o himself_o only_o not_o of_o she_o mark_v that_o fallacy_n and_o then_o he_o say_v not_o it_o be_v ill_a to_o leave_v the_o church_n but_o very_o ill_o to_o give_v that_o scandal_n as_o to_o leave_v the_o church_n relate_v again_o to_o his_o own_o particular_a four_o he_o say_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o bishop_n concession_n can_v have_v no_o influence_n upon_o she_o though_o she_o positive_o say_v those_o discourse_n in_o which_o be_v those_o concession_n do_v but_o add_v more_o to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_n this_o be_v full_a upon_o the_o vizor_n but_o the_o dead_a be_v to_o take_v all_o thing_n patient_o well!_o how_o if_o he_o can_v convince_v she_o of_o falsity_n from_o her_o own_o word_n why_o then_o he_o will_v carry_v his_o argument_n as_o well_o as_o his_o good_a manner_n to_o the_o height_n and_o how_o broad_a soever_o the_o word_n may_v be_v which_o he_o have_v sly_o give_v she_o yet_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o freedom_n ought_v to_o be_v permit_v he_o as_o sustain_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n his_o argument_n be_v this_o she_o declare_v afterward_o that_o she_o will_v not_o have_v change_v if_o she_o have_v think_v it_o possible_a otherwise_o to_o have_v save_v her_o soul_n but_o the_o bishop_n have_v tell_v she_o that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n be_v in_o the_o english_a church_n therefore_o the_o bishop_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o her_o change_n so_o the_o mitre_n be_v safe_a in_o its_o reputation_n no_o matter_n what_o become_v of_o the_o ducal_z coronet_n now_o i_o can_v be_v very_o well_o content_a that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o her_o conversion_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o desire_v it_o not_o and_o why_o shall_v he_o do_v good_a against_o his_o will_n i_o wish_v my_o author_n will_v have_v furnish_v i_o with_o a_o argument_n to_o have_v bring_v he_o whole_o off_o but_o i_o will_v bring_v he_o on_o his_o way_n as_o far_o as_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o answerer_n scarf_n i_o can_v fair_o drag_v he_o i_o say_v therefore_o that_o though_o her_o highness_n change_v not_o her_o belief_n upon_o the_o concession_n of_o the_o bishop_n yet_o his_o concession_n be_v a_o occasion_n of_o her_o far_a scruple_n in_o order_n to_o her_o change_n for_o she_o say_v they_o add_v to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_n the_o bishop_n do_v indeed_o tell_v she_o that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v in_o the_o english_a church_n but_o tell_v i_o sir_n i_o beseech_v you_o be_v that_o all_o he_o tell_v she_o by_o your_o favour_n you_o have_v leave_v out_o the_o better_a half_n of_o what_o he_o say_v for_o he_o tell_v she_o also_o that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o catholic_a he_o will_v not_o have_v change_v and_o she_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v what_o he_o say_v to_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o church_n of_o which_o he_o be_v no_o member_n as_o be_v sure_o he_o will_v say_v no_o more_o than_o scanty_a truth_n and_o he_o acknowledge_v into_o the_o bargain_n that_o confession_n be_v command_v of_o god_n and_o that_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v one_o of_o the_o ancient_a thing_n in_o christianity_n what_o a_o shameful_a way_n of_o argue_v be_v this_o to_o make_v a_o general_a negative_a conclusion_n from_o half_a the_o premise_n or_o in_o other_o word_n to_o maintain_v that_o the_o bishop_n concession_n can_v have_v no_o influence_n upon_o she_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o great_a influence_n and_o you_o in_o a_o manner_n

i_o see_v no_o great_a cause_n he_o have_v to_o wonder_v that_o prince_n and_o the_o clergy_n shall_v be_v of_o different_a mind_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n he_o know_v the_o case_n have_v
