god_n the_o three_o ground_n whereto_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o text_n be_v refer_v be_v this_o that_o true_a religion_n be_v a_o merciful_a religion_n it_o make_v we_o say_v james_n here_o to_o

be_v jerem._n jerem._n who_o shall_v be_v merciful_a as_o he_o be_v merciful_a religion_n therefore_o be_v a_o issue_n of_o god_n will_v and_o nature_n it_o must_v needs_o savour_n of_o mercy_n and_o

our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v merciful_a this_o be_v that_o which_o will_v assure_v we_o that_o we_o be_v true_o religious_a no_o mercy_n no_o religion_n god_n be_v immediate_o merciful_a to_o we_o himself_o when_o he_o send_v his_o spirit_n into_o our_o heart_n to_o teach_v we_o correct_v and_o comfort_v we_o according_a to_o our_o necessity_n and_o he_o make_v all_o the_o creature_n of_o

be_v provoke_v to_o be_v merciful_a also_o yea_o we_o must_v be_v so_o even_o unto_o the_o enemy_n of_o religion_n we_o see_v many_o time_n that_o no_o civil_a cause_n make_v a_o more_o severe_a and_o

do_v god_n good_a service_n but_o we_o must_v strive_v against_o this_o cruelty_n and_o exercise_v mercy_n as_o the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o religion_n if_o we_o shall_v believe_v the_o declamation_n of_o the_o jesuit_n they_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o merciful_a and_o therefore_o they_o cry_v out_o against_o our_o cruelty_n exercise_v upon_o the_o popeho_o catholic_n in_o
