if_o our_o doctrine_n be_v true_a and_o they_o false_a there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o their_o separation_n because_o they_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v amend_v themselves_o and_o continue_v in_o

for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o regulate_v their_o conscience_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o church_n not_o of_o themselves_o otherwise_o contentious_a and_o

church_n that_o she_o make_v her_o conscience_n stoop_v to_o a_o compliance_n with_o they_o which_o be_v insolent_a and_o unreasonable_a it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o that_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o conscience_n sin_n so_o also_o if_o he_o do_v not_o that_o which_o he_o be_v command_v he_o sin_n therefore_o to_o reconcile_v this_o conflict_n of_o conscience_n man_n may_v and_o must_v though_o it_o go_v against_o the_o grain_n of_o their_o private_a judgement_n submit_v themselves_o by_o a_o implicit_a faith_n to_o the_o church_n by_o believe_v she_o to_o be_v wise_a than_o themselves_o and_o so_o believe_v what_o she_o say_v to_o be_v true_a otherwise_o this_o conscience_n will_v be_v a_o plea_n for_o all_o disobedience_n and_o impiety_n when_o wicked_a man_n may_v

that_o the_o separation_n of_o all_o protestant_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n under_o pretence_n of_o conscience_n as_o it_o have_v no_o ground_n of_o truth_n so_o have_v it_o not_o either_o
