time_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a protestation_n of_o the_o german_a prince_n and_o not_o direct_o a_o protest_v against_o popery_n r._n it_o be_v not_o name_n but_o religion_n which_o we_o dispute_v of_o and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o each_o party_n profess_v to_o be_v their_o religion_n therefore_o you_o must_v take_v our_o profession_n or_o you_o change_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o dispute_n and_o we_o profess_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o no_o sober_a man_n question_v and_o the_o scripture_n be_v all_o our_o religion_n therefore_o if_o you_o please_v you_o shall_v suppose_v that_o the_o name_n protestant_n be_v not_o now_o in_o the_o world_n it_o do_v not_o signify_v our_o religion_n but_o we_o now_o use_v it_o to_o signify_v our_o

their_o name_n 2._o but_o by_o a_o protestant_n we_o mean_v only_a one_o that_o take_v the_o scripture_n for_o the_o rule_n and_o christianity_n for_o the_o essence_n of_o his_o religion_n which_o no_o one_o do_v that_o deny_v any_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o if_o we_o do_v so_o prove_v it_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v our_o answer_n how_o do_v you_o judge_v of_o any_o man_n among_o yourselves_o that_o take_v god_n word_n propose_v by_o your_o church_n for_o his_o religion_n and_o yet_o mistake_v the_o church_n in_o any_o point_n as_o durandus_fw-la that_o think_v the_o matter_n of_o bread_n continue_v who_o bellarmine_n yet_o deny_v to_o be_v a_o heretic_n so_o be_v it_o with_o any_o among_o we_o that_o mistake_v the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n in_o some_o such_o point_n when_o a_o name_n be_v put_v upon_o any_o person_n or_o party_n from_o a_o common_a accident_n you_o may_v if_o you_o will_v call_v all_o by_o that_o name_n which_o that_o accident_n agree_v to_o and_o so_o papist_n be_v call_v by_o some_o nonconformist_n now_o in_o england_n because_o they_o conform_v not_o but_o the_o world_n know_v well_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v protestant_n which_o be_v common_o mean_v by_o that_o name_n and_o not_o papist_n quaker_n seeker_n etc._n etc._n though_o these_o conform_v not_o and_o so_o you_o may_v say_v if_o it_o please_v yourself_o that_o turk_n jew_n heathen_n socinian_n quaker_n ran●ers_n be_v protestant_n because_o they_o protest_v against_o or_o reject_v popery_n but_o the_o world_n know_v who_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o name_n even_a christian_n reject_v proper_a popery_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o deal_v open_o with_o you_o i_o care_v not_o if_o the_o name_n protestant_n be_v utter_o cast_v aside_o if_o any_o man_n be_v so_o deceive_v by_o it_o as_o 1._o either_o to_o think_v that_o it_o signify_v the_o essence_n of_o our_o religion_n unless_o you_o mean_v as_o we_o protest_v for_o christianity_n 2._o or_o that_o we_o take_v those_o

ready_o how_o to_o speak_v intelligible_o of_o one_o another_o without_o circumlocution_n and_o then_o come_v the_o sectarian_n and_o take_v his_o party_n for_o all_o the_o church_n at_o lest_o which_o he_o may_v lawful_o communicate_v with_o and_o the_o name_n of_o his_o party_n to_o notify_v his_o religion_n and_o then_o come_v the_o crafty_a papist_n and_o pretend_v from_o hence_o that_o such_o a_o name_v religion_n be_v new_a and_o ask_v you_o where_o be_v there_o any_o e._n g._n protestant_n before_o luther_n my_o religion_n be_v naked_a christianity_n the_o same_o as_o be_v where_o

the_o reform_a church_n to_o be_v the_o sound_a in_o the_o world_n but_o i_o take_v their_o confession_n to_o be_v all_o the_o imperfect_a expression_n of_o man_n and_o the_o write_n of_o protestant_n divine_n to_o be_v some_o more_o clear_a and_o sound_a and_o some_o more_o dark_a empty_a and_o less_o sound_a and_o in_o many_o thing_n i_o differ_v from_o many_o of_o they_o choose_v now_o whether_o

so_o i_o like_v it_o and_o be_o a_o catholic_n christian_n i_o dispute_v for_o nothing_o else_o i_o persuade_v this_o person_n here_o in_o doubt_n to_o nothing_o else_o but_o 1._o to_o hold_v fast_o
