be_v come_v for_o then_o man_n heart_n will_v be_v so_o fill_v with_o fear_n and_o care_n to_o avoid_v the_o present_a evil_n and_o to_o preserve_v what_o they_o have_v in_o this_o world_n as_o that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o right_a judgement_n of_o thing_n relate_v to_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o their_o reason_n will_v be_v so_o bias_v by_o their_o affection_n as_o then_o to_o think_v those_o argument_n for_o the_o popish_a religion_n rational_a and_o plausible_a which_o now_o they_o think_v very_o simple_a and_o absurd_a wherefore_o now_o in_o this_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o calmness_n when_o your_o reason_n be_v not_o disturb_v with_o tumult_n nor_o your_o conscience_n awe_v with_o danger_n i_o here_o ask_v you_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v your_o judgement_n convince_v by_o those_o argument_n which_o i_o have_v lay_v before_o you_o in_o god_n holy_a word_n that_o the_o scripture_n contain_v in_o themselves_o complete_o eternal_a life_n and_o thus_o you_o ought_v to_o take_v they_o alone_o for_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o you_o be_v not_o to_o hearken_v to_o any_o doctrine_n of_o man_n ever_o so_o holy_a ever_o so_o learned_a far_o than_o they_o can_v make_v their_o doctrine_n evident_a to_o your_o understanding_n by_o plain_a place_n of_o scripture_n and_o that_o whatever_o miracle_n be_v pretend_v to_o be_v wrought_v by_o they_o if_o they_o tend_v to_o prove_v any_o thing_n which_o you_o according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o your_o understanding_n very_o believe_v be_v against_o scripture_n you_o be_v to_o take_v they_o for_o lie_v wonder_n wrought_v by_o that_o great_a deceiver_n and_o tempter_n of_o mankind_n the_o devil_n be_v you_o now_o full_o persuade_v of_o all_o this_o or_o no_o for_o your_o full_a satisfaction_n i_o repeat_v it_o again_o and_o do_v you_o consider_v it_o well_o be_v your_o judgement_n etc._n etc._n if_o you_o doubt_v of_o any_o part_n of_o this_o i_o as_o your_o lawful_a pastor_n set_v over_o you_o by_o god_n and_o the_o king_n his_o vicegerent_n require_v you_o to_o repair_v to_o i_o and_o propose_v your_o doubt_n and_o i_o hope_v by_o god_n assistance_n to_o give_v you_o full_a satisfaction_n and_o if_o you_o be_v already_o satisfy_v then_o in_o god_n name_n i_o require_v you_o to_o hold_v fast_o to_o the_o scripture_n his_o holy_a word_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v yourselves_o to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o any_o wind_n of_o humane_a doctrine_n and_o when_o if_o ever_o time_n of_o change_n and_o danger_n come_v and_o your_o judgement_n begin_v to_o alter_v from_o what_o now_o seem_v to_o you_o apparent_a truth_n and_o full_o agreeable_a to_o god_n holy_a word_n you_o ought_v to_o conceive_v that_o alteration_n proceed_v from_o the_o delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n not_o from_o any_o new_a inspiration_n from_o god_n for_o he_o be_v the_o same_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o he_o can_v change_v it_o be_v you_o that_o change_n but_o perchance_o some_o will_v say_v in_o those_o day_n this_o papist_n tell_v i_o thing_n i_o never_o hear_v of_o before_o new_a and_o better_a argument_n and_o upon_o better_a information_n i_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o change_v to_o better_a resolution_n oh_o my_o belove_a take_v heed_n it_o be_v not_o better_a information_n but_o the_o old_a man_n love_v to_o have_v it_o so_o for_o it_o will_v then_o make_v better_o for_o his_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o world_n but_o i_o will_v now_o take_v from_o you_o this_o subterfuge_n you_o shall_v not_o escape_v i_o so_o go_v now_o to_o the_o able_a papist_n you_o can_v hear_v of_o consult_v with_o such_o see_v what_o new_a and_o better_a argument_n they_o can_v now_o give_v you_o and_o if_o you_o think_v you_o have_v meet_v with_o such_o come_v to_o i_o i_o shall_v take_v any_o pain_n to_o give_v you_o better_a satisfaction_n but_o if_o you_o come_v no_o more_o at_o i_o now_o but_o in_o the_o change_n of_o time_n your_o heart_n and_o reason_n change_v i_o shall_v if_o i_o so_o long_o live_v and_o you_o ought_v infallible_o to_o conclude_v it_o be_v not_o reason_n nor_o religion_n but_o the_o blindness_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o your_o flesh_n that_o lead_v you_o blind_o away_o from_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n to_o follow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o erroneous_a man_n for_o no_o doubt_n you_o may_v now_o in_o time_n of_o settlement_n and_o quiet_a make_v a_o far_o better_a judgement_n of_o thing_n than_o in_o time_n of_o bustle_n and_o danger_n no_o man_n while_o he_o carry_v this_o house_n of_o clay_n about_o he_o can_v mount_v to_o that_o high_a pitch_n as_o to_o be_v above_o the_o reach_n of_o storm_n and_o combustion_n but_o will_v undoubted_o be_v shake_v and_o

and_o to_o make_v also_o firm_a resolution_n to_o adhere_v to_o that_o and_o then_o if_o danger_n come_v and_o your_o heart_n be_v besiege_v by_o powerful_a enemy_n be_v sure_a to_o observe_v the_o

be_v then_o to_o choose_v his_o religion_n i_o advise_v you_o therefore_o not_o to_o delay_v this_o necessary_a work_n and_o when_o you_o be_v on_o serious_a mature_a consideration_n well_o settle_v in_o the_o faith_n admit_v no_o more_o of_o debate_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a artifice_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o to_o busy_a man_n head_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n as_o whole_o to_o neglect_v
