can_v preserve_v we_o from_o the_o commission_n of_o they_o for_o no_o man_n while_o he_o use_v his_o own_o reason_n right_o ever_o commit_v any_o of_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o suppose_v

but_o a_o few_o compare_v to_o the_o guilty_a in_o any_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n in_o those_o two_o kingdom_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o invite_v all_o lukewarm_a protestant_n to_o the_o roman_a religion_n rather_o than_o to_o stick_v to_o the_o religion_n of_o that_o people_n so_o general_o infect_v with_o damnable_a error_n the_o papist_n have_v reason_n to_o thank_v he_o for_o it_o yet_o again_o the_o gent._n quarrel_v at_o the_o author_n for_o say_v where_o we_o do_v not_o know_v our_o fault_n we_o have_v no_o mean_n of_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o consequent_o can_v expect_v pardon_n for_o it_o there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n without_o repentance_n and_o repentance_n be_v impossible_a without_o knowledge_n of_o our_o fault_n to_o which_o the_o gentleman_n answer_n be_v if_o this_o

a_o gild_n gild_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n the_o old_a testament_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o actual_a sin_n the_o new_a make_v few_o new_a sin_n more_o than_o the_o old_a for_o thought_n if_o transient_a and_o not_o reduce_v into_o act_n be_v not_o sin_n and_o what_o david_n say_v who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n there_o be_v not_o any_o more_o mean_v by_o it_o than_o that_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o understand_v they_o and_o when_o he_o pray_v to_o be_v pardon_v his_o secret_a sin_n he_o intend_v not_o any_o other_o than_o such_o sin_n as_o be_v only_o know_v to_o god_n and_o himself_o so_o against_o presumptuous_a sin_n which_o be_v intend_v against_o light_n against_o reason_n no_o man_n have_v ever_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n than_o he_o who_o have_v be_v prefer_v and_o preserve_v in_o so_o admirable_a a_o manner_n more_o than_o once_o from_o his_o enemy_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o gent._n can_v forget_v who_o pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o unreasonable_a man_n nor_o who_o fight_v with_o beast_n at_o ephesus_n again_o the_o author_n have_v say_v the_o great_a probability_n of_o truth_n on_o all_o side_n even_o in_o the_o err_a one_o ought_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v pardon_v those_o error_n the_o gentleman_n answer_v thus_o if_o our_o error_n be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o the_o effect_n or_o cause_n of_o any_o sin_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v but_o god_n will_v pardon_v they_o and_o i_o say_v if_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o error_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v pardon_v they_o and_o that_o sin_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o cause_n of_o error_n be_v plain_a to_o any_o man_n who_o shall_v observe_v the_o effect_n of_o debauchery_n for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a any_o man_n can_v act_v rational_o who_o drown_v his_o reason_n or_o believe_v as_o convince_v by_o reason_n when_o he_o will_v offer_v violence_n to_o it_o and_o brutifie_v himself_o but_o say_v the_o gent._n if_o our_o error_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o wilful_a ignorance_n pride_n or_o idleness_n if_o they_o have_v lead_v we_o into_o schism_n and_o heresy_n and_o thereby_o into_o contempt_n of_o authority_n than_o we_o can_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o pardon_n without_o amendment_n wherefore_o sin_n be_v most_o common_o the_o cause_n or_o the_o effect_n of_o error_n or_o both_o it_o prove_v there_o be_v no_o small_a danger_n in_o they_o i_o must_v mind_v the_o reader_n here_o how_o the_o gentleman_n run_v the_o wild-goose_n chase_n one_o while_o
