to_o the_o same_o 1._o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o time_n for_o since_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n gospel_n say_v they_o we_o be_v more_o strict_o command_v to_o profess_v our_o

in_o naaman_n time_n to_o deny_v god_n then_o now_o 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o place_n for_o that_o the_o nobleman_n religion_n be_v not_o practise_v in_o the_o country_n where_o he_o go_v to_o the_o temple_n and_o so_o there_o can_v no_o scandal_n arise_v thereby_o this_o reason_n be_v in_o my_o judgement_n beside_o the_o purpose_n for_o no_o more_o be_v catholic_a religion_n practise_v in_o this_o country_n where_o we_o go_v to_o church_n again_o it_o prove_v not_o naaman_n case_n hereby_o more_o lawful_a than_o the_o go_v to_o church_n for_o there_o may_v be_v scandal_n where_o a_o thing_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n may_v be_v lawful_o do_v as_o there_o may_v have_v be_v scandal_n in_o our_o saviour_n poverty_n matth._n 17._o if_o he_o have_v not_o prevent_v it_o and_o there_o may_v be_v no_o scandal_n and_o yet_o the_o act_n unlawful_a therefore_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a abstract_n from_o scandal_n that_o be_v in_o our_o case_n easy_o avoid_v or_o take_v away_o the_o thing_n may_v still_o remain_v lawful_a for_o if_o he_o that_o go_v to_o church_n be_v a_o know_a catholic_a the_o weak_a be_v to_o be_v admonish_v of_o the_o indifferency_n of_o the_o

to_o who_o 3._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o person_n in_o that_o naaman_n have_v a_o office_n to_o serve_v the_o king_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o therefore_o
