please_v to_o answer_v to_o my_o doubt_n how_o can_v we_o live_v in_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n in_o religion_n if_o our_o rule_n of_o faith_n be_v scripture_n as_o each_o one_o understand_v it_o i_o remember_v a_o discourse_n start_v in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n not_o many_o year_n ago_o by_o his_o grace_n the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n he_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o protestant_n wherein_o do_v protestancy_n proper_o consist_v the_o bishop_n who_o be_v present_a look_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o whether_o they_o fear_v the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o question_n or_o that_o for_o modesty_n sake_n each_o expect_a to_o hear_v another_o speak_v first_o they_o stand_v silent_a for_o a_o while_n at_o last_o the_o ice_n be_v break_v by_o one_o other_o follow_v but_o hardly_o any_o two_o agree_v and_o all_o that_o the_o duke_n can_v gather_v out_o of_o their_o several_a answer_n be_v that_o our_o rule_n of_o faith_n be_v scripture_n as_o each_o one_o understand_v it_o and_o protestancy_n nothing_o but_o scripture_n as_o interpret_v by_o the_o parliament_n and_o church_n of_o england_n whereupon_o he_o conclude_v we_o have_v be_v these_o hundred_o year_n very_o busy_a for_o to_o settle_v religion_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o perceive_v we_o be_v as_o unsettled_a nâ—w_o as_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o true_o he_o have_v great_a reason_n for_o religion_n and_o faith_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o sense_n of_o scripture_n which_o each_o person_n of_o sound_a judgement_n understand_v and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v all_o jump_v and_o agree_v in_o one_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n so_o it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v ever_o be_v settle_v and_o agree_v in_o religion_n isaac_n the_o reason_n of_o our_o unsettlement_n hitherto_o and_o at_o present_a be_v the_o violent_a effort_n what_o by_o persecution_n act_n of_o parliament_n and_o other_o oppression_n what_o by_o invective_n intrigue_n and_o cabal_n of_o the_o church_n of_o engand_fw-mi to_o draw_v all_o to_o be_v protestant_n of_o the_o presbyterian_o to_o make_v we_o deny_v episcopacy_n and_o of_o each_o other_o congregation_n to_o force_v we_o to_o their_o respective_a tenet_n and_o whilst_o this_o constraint_n and_o severity_n be_v use_v against_o man_n conscience_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o expect_v peace_n or_o settlement_n in_o our_o reform_a church_n but_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n let_v each_o one_o believe_v as_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o best_a understand_v scripture_n let_v we_o all_o believe_v what_o we_o please_v and_o be_v permit_v so_o to_o do_v and_o we_o shall_v without_o doubt_n enjoy_v perfect_a peace_n and_o tranquillity_n believe_v you_o figurative_a presence_n if_o you_o will_v let_v the_o lutheran_n believe_v his_o real_a presence_n if_o he_o like_v it_o and_o let_v i_o believe_v no_o presence_n at_o all_o if_o i_o judge_v there_o be_v none_o why_o will_v not_o you_o permit_v i_o to_o follow_v that_o rule_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o whole_a reformation_n even_o the_o church_n of_o england_n give_v i_o in_o her_o 39_o article_n scripture_n as_o each_o person_n of_o sound_a judgement_n understand_v it_o to_o say_v we_o can_v never_o have_v settlement_n in_o religion_n whilst_o this_o arbitrary_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n be_v permit_v be_v to_o speak_v like_o a_o papist_n this_o the_o pope_n and_o papist_n say_v to_o our_o first_o bless_a reformer_n and_o the_o popish_a church_n say_v this_o day_n to_o we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o submit_v

a_o man_n as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n breed_v say_v the_o arian_n church_n be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o will_v say_v no_o less_o of_o the_o other_o but_o what_o need_v we_o the_o testimony_n

protestant_n presbyterian_o and_o independent_n do_v esteem_v themselves_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o religion_n because_o they_o all_o have_v the_o same_o rule_n which_o be_v

they_o say_v because_o they_o have_v all_o but_o one_o rule_n of_o their_o belief_n which_o be_v their_o infallible_a pope_n and_o church_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o those_o which_o you_o call_v ancient_a condemn_v heretic_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o rule_n of_o faith_n with_o our_o reformation_n for_o we_o be_v scripture_n as_o each_o person_n of_o sound_a judgement_n
