Thirdly The next thing observable in this Protestation is if I may so term it the Intension thereof for we must as ●…arre as lawfully we may with our lives power and estates perform the things promised and vowed Fourthly and Lastly In this Protestation we must observe the Extension or continuance thereof for it must be perpetuall and continue unto our lives end Truth and Religion the summe and substance of this Protestation being alwayes one as was shewed before in the fifth Means And thus much for the first main generall Viz.

We desire That the dissentions and differences which are in our Church and which hinder the progresse of Religion may be taken away by you And 2. That true Religion may be established in unity amongst us by you Now of th●…se in their order First Our request here unto your Honours is That you would be pleased to compose those jarres and to appea●…e those differences of Religion which are so rife amongst us If you should demad how this may done the Philosopher answers * Take away the cause and the effect will c●ase If this answer b●get another Question viz.
