           in
           the
           world
           ,
           so
           that
           my
           conclusion
           is
           that
           none
           deserves
           the
           name
           of
           a
           Puritan
           ,
           but
           such
           as
           dare
           presume
           by
           their
           purity
           to
           save
           themselves
           and
           others
           :
           Thus
           have
           I
           briefly
           shewed
           that
           the
           Church
           of
           Christ

           in

           ages
           been
           opposed

           oppressed
           by
           Heretiques
           and
           Schismaticks
           ,
           I
           could
           name
           many
           more
           opinions
           of
           men

           who
           were

           most
           illustrious
           instruments
           for
           the
           advancement
           of
           Christian
           Relig●on

           diversities

           they
           have
           alwayes
           agreed
           in

           so
