you_o see_v the_o day_n approach_v all_o which_o i_o suppose_v the_o mean_a christian_n of_o the_o low_a degree_n or_o place_n that_o be_v may_v do_v and_o that_o it_o concern_v he_o as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v any_o other_o though_o never_o so_o great_a if_o in_o this_o i_o have_v offend_v against_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o have_v offend_v it_o i_o confess_v but_o i_o do_v suppose_v nay_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o law_n in_o this_o christian_a kingdom_n now_o at_o this_o time_n forbid_v these_o thing_n in_o the_o time_n of_o papistry_n it_o be_v not_o hold_v lawful_a for_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v in_o the_o english_a language_n nor_o for_o the_o lay_z people_n to_o read_v the_o same_o but_o thanks_n be_v to_o god_n it_o be_v not_o so_o now_o those_o day_n of_o desolation_n be_v shorten_v in_o this_o realm_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o foretell_v say_v but_o for_o the_o elect_a sake_n those_o day_n shall_v be_v shorten_v 22._o the_o scripture_n wherein_o the_o light_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o way_n of_o salvation_n be_v contain_v and_o hold_v forth_o which_o by_o antichrist_n and_o his_o church_n have_v be_v so_o long_o obscure_v be_v by_o the_o law_n and_o authority_n of_o this_o land_n translate_v into_o our_o own_o native_a tongue_n and_o by_o the_o same_o authority_n all_o man_n young_a and_o old_a have_v free_a liberty_n to_o read_v and_o consider_v the_o same_o to_o talk_v and_o confer_v thereof_o one_o neighbour_n with_o another_o and_o as_o the_o man_n of_o berea_n after_o they_o have_v hear_v paul_n preach_v do_v search_v the_o scripture_n daily_o so_o may_v we_o do_v after_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o as_o timothy_n do_v know_v the_o scripture_n of_o a_o child_n which_o be_v able_a to_o make_v he_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n so_o may_v we_o even_o of_o child_n know_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o we_o be_v great_o bind_v to_o be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n for_o this_o inestimable_a treasure_n and_o for_o those_o his_o servant_n who_o have_v be_v the_o mean_n of_o this_o so_o great_a good_a unto_o we_o and_o god_n forbid_v that_o ever_o the_o authority_n or_o law_n of_o this_o christian_a kingdom_n shall_v prohibit_v the_o same_o again_o so_o that_o whereas_o steven_n denison_n and_o his_o witness_n do_v charge_n i_o that_o i_o have_v oftentimes_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o expound_v sundry_a place_n of_o scripture_n as_o a_o teacher_n or_o instructor_n to_o many_o person_n etc._n etc._n they_o charge_v i_o very_o false_o for_o i_o never_o do_v otherwise_o

and_o do_v still_o hold_v as_o a_o main_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n contrary_a as_o it_o appear_v to_o mr._n denison_n that_o repentance_n do_v necessary_o go_v before_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o before_o justify_v faith_n also_o as_o well_o as_o before_o justification_n or_o remission_n and_o this_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o maintain_v against_o some_o that_o have_v hold_v the_o contrary_a which_o thing_n mr._n denison_n have_v hear_v of_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o with_o great_a violence_n in_o his_o pulpit_n to_o oppose_v the_o same_o call_v it_o a_o damnable_a error_n a_o familisticall_a point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o that_o none_o but_o familist_n hold_v it_o and_o name_v i_o often_o by_o name_n and_o by_o trade_n as_o if_o i_o be_v the_o

it_o must_v be_v before_o justify_v faith_n because_o where_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o there_o can_v be_v no_o justify_v faith_n hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o the_o say_a thomson_n and_o
