to_o our_o present_a case_n 1._o if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v receive_v believe_v or_o teach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o what_o have_v be_v receive_v

the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v corrupt_v the_o faith_n which_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n nor_o teach_v any_o doctrine_n contrary_a thereunto_o nor_o dissent_v from_o any_o know_a establish_a article_n thereof_o nor_o obstinate_o maintain_v any_o such_o dissent_n therefrom_o then_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o angelical_a doctor_n she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v

the_o guilt_n of_o heresy_n but_o none_o of_o all_o this_o ever_o be_v or_o can_v be_v make_v manifest_a against_o she_o therefore_o by_o this_o rule_n she_o be_v unjust_o charge_v with_o the_o

of_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n or_o do_v embrace_v and_o hold_v any_o wicked_a opinion_n in_o despite_n and_o defiance_n of_o that_o authority_n or_o with_o a_o wilful_a and_o obstinate_a

to_o be_v hold_v guilty_a of_o heresy_n but_o none_o of_o all_o this_o ever_o be_v or_o can_v be_v prove_v against_o she_o therefore_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o that_o council_n she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v hold_v guilty_a of_o heresy_n 5._o if_o there_o be_v not_o pregnant_a proof_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v embrace_v some_o opinion_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o or_o at_o

teach_v any_o fundamental_a error_n in_o religion_n thereby_o to_o seduce_v and_o withdraw_v people_n from_o fundamental_a truth_n and_o holiness_n or_o do_v stubborn_o maintain_v and_o defend_v a_o fundamental_a error_n in_o religion_n against_o repeat_v admonition_n and_o clear_a conviction_n then_o can_v she_o not_o if_o this_o notion_n of_o heresy_n be_v true_a be_v just_o burden_v with_o the_o guilt_n thereof_o but_o there_o be_v not_o nor_o indeed_o can_v be_v any_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o any_o thing_n of_o all_o this_o against_o she_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o notion_n of_o heresy_n she_o can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o the_o guilt_n thereof_o i_o be_o well_o aware_a that_o the_o minor_a proposition_n in_o all_o these_o will_v stiff_o be_v deny_v by_o our_o

england_n but_o god_n be_v thank_v though_o this_o may_v soon_o be_v say_v it_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v that_o they_o frequent_o call_v we_o heretic_n and_o both_o do_v and_o have_v all_o along_o endeavour_v to_o represent_v we_o as_o such_o to_o the_o world_n we_o very_o well_o know_v and_o if_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v judge_n it_o will_v go_v very_o hard_o with_o we_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o acquit_v ourselves_o at_o their_o bar._n but_o this_o we_o think_v to_o be_v a_o very_a unreasonable_a thing_n that_o they_o be_v party_n shall_v be_v judge_n too_o and_o therefore_o we_o appeal_v from_o they_o and_o if_o they_o ask_v whither_o we_o do_v appeal_v i_o answer_v we_o appeal_v to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o the_o primitive_a father_n and_o to_o the_o four_o first_o general_n council_n but_o because_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v either_o too_o tedious_a or_o too_o troublesome_a a_o way_n of_o trial_n i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o one_o more_o short_a and_o easy_a i_o have_v here_o lay_v down_o a_o notion_n of_o heresy_n which_o be_v agree_v upon_o both_o by_o they_o and_o we_o and_o therefore_o unexceptionable_a by_o this_o we_o be_v
