very_o well_o omit_v and_o conclude_v with_o they_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o article_n which_o they_o have_v much_o pretend_v no_o way_n prove_v scarce_o endeavour_v as_o for_o the_o second_o part_n of_o their_o charge_n the_o defectiveness_n of_o the_o public_a doctrine_n they_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v it_o by_o three_o several_a argument_n the_o first_o be_v bring_v from_o the_o 6._o article_n the_o only_a article_n of_o all_o the_o 39_o accuse_v by_o they_o of_o defect_n in_o itself_o their_o objection_n be_v this_o the_o article_n be_v defective_a in_o the_o not_o enumerate_v all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o my_o answer_n be_v plain_o this_o though_o the_o article_n do_v not_o enumerate_v all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o article_n be_v not_o defective_a and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o article_n describe_v they_o as_o well_o as_o if_o it_o do_v enumerate_v they_o so_o that_o any_o man_n may_v rest_v as_o much_o satisfy_v with_o the_o description_n as_o with_o the_o enumeration_n as_o for_o example_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v enumerate_v all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o name_n sess._n 4._o the_o church_n of_o england_n not_o follow_v that_o council_n express_v herself_o otherwise_o say_v all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o they_o be_v common_o receive_v we_o do_v receive_v and_o account_v they_o canonical_a now_o all_o the_o book_n name_v in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v common_o receive_v or_o they_o be_v not_o if_o they_o be_v not_o common_o receive_v than_o i_o confess_v the_o article_n may_v be_v think_v defective_a but_o this_o i_o suppose_v our_o brethren_n will_v not_o say_v or_o if_o they_o do_v it_o be_v a_o know_a untruth_n if_o they_o be_v all_o common_o receive_v than_o have_v our_o article_n leave_v none_o out_o in_o her_o description_n more_o than_o they_o have_v in_o their_o enumeration_n if_o they_o do_v or_o can_v name_v any_o one_o book_n which_o they_o can_v prove_v to_o belong_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o common_o receive_v than_o they_o may_v charge_v the_o article_n with_o defect_n for_o it_o will_v want_v that_o book_n so_o name_v and_o yet_o not_o receive_v but_o if_o they_o can_v name_v no_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v not_o common_o receive_v than_o the_o article_n contain_v every_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o can_v be_v name_v and_o if_o it_o contain_v all_o that_o can_v be_v name_v it_o must_v contain_v all_o that_o can_v be_v enumerate_v and_o consequent_o it_o can_v be_v defective_a in_o the_o not_o enumerate_v wherefore_o i_o entreat_v our_o brethren_n the_o minister_n of_o sundry_a county_n that_o they_o will_v not_o prefer_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n before_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n where_o nothing_o material_a can_v be_v object_v to_o either_o as_o for_o the_o doubt_n which_o have_v be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o epistle_n of_o s._n james_n and_o the_o second_o of_o s._n peter_n they_o make_v nothing_o against_o this_o description_n for_o though_o they_o have_v be_v doubt_v of_o yet_o they_o be_v now_o common_o receive_v and_o the_o article_n embrace_v all_o as_o they_o be_v common_o receive_v refer_v to_o the_o time_n in_o which_o the_o article_n be_v pen_v not_o to_o the_o age_n before_o eusebius_n write_v the_o history_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o difference_n about_o the_o scripture_n now_o at_o this_o time_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v declare_v and_o enumerate_v all_o the_o canonical_a book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o church_n of_o england_n upon_o the_o reformation_n do_v no_o way_n differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o this_o particular_a but_o have_v in_o its_o practice_n receive_v and_o use_v all_o the_o same_o book_n and_o therefore_o need_v no_o other_o way_n to_o denote_v they_o then_o by_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n common_o receive_v where_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o our_o church_n and_o they_o there_o to_o make_v good_a the_o reformation_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o enumerate_v the_o book_n because_o the_o difference_n can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o know_v and_o therefore_o we_o have_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o old_a testament_n a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o canonical_a book_n and_o another_o of_o the_o apocryphal_a but_o where_o there_o be_v difference_n neither_o with_o they_o nor_o among_o ourselves_o there_o such_o a_o expression_n as_o may_v acknowledge_v the_o consent_n and_o no_o way_n prejudice_v the_o truth_n be_v think_v most_o proper_a in_o the_o article_n make_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n edward_n 6._o in_o the_o year_n 1552._o print_v by_o richard_n grafton_n 1553._o there_o be_v neither_o description_n nor_o enumeration_n of_o any_o book_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v hard_a measure_n that_o the_o church_n in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n 1562._o add_v a_o enumeration_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o a_o description_n of_o those_o of_o the_o new_a for_o the_o supply_n of_o a_o suppose_a defect_n shall_v be_v accuse_v as_o defective_a the_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o defectiveness_n of_o the_o public_a doctrine_n be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o article_n for_o discover_v and_o condemn_v sundry_a point_n of_o popery_n to_o which_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o if_o they_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o that_o which_o will_v discover_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o papist_n there_o be_v abundant_o sufficient_a contain_v in_o the_o article_n to_o discover_v any_o man_n for_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v admit_v no_o man_n to_o their_o society_n who_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o subscribe_v our_o article_n this_o therefore_o as_o to_o such_o a_o discovery_n can_v be_v no_o real_a defect_n because_o we_o can_v need_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v enough_o but_o if_o the_o article_n do_v want_v some_o doctrine_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o popery_n which_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o those_o which_o our_o brethren_n mention_n can_v be_v want_v for_o that_o purpose_n they_o signify_v a_o defect_n of_o such_o tenet_n as_o be_v opposite_a to_o those_o of_o arminius_n and_o think_v that_o they_o if_o they_o be_v settle_v will_v discover_v popery_n whereas_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o those_o of_o arminius_n be_v no_o good_a or_o sound_a way_n to_o discover_v a_o papist_n if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v find_v out_o no_o other_o way_n to_o discover_v a_o romanist_n than_o the_o deny_n of_o arminianism_n there_o will_v sudden_o be_v popish_a priest_n enough_o to_o possess_v i_o and_o all_o your_o benefice_n i_o look_v upon_o the_o dominican_n friar_n to_o be_v as_o great_a enemy_n of_o armianism_n as_o i_o or_o you_o be_v and_o yet_o to_o be_v as_o much_o papist_n as_o any_o be_v i_o suppose_v no_o man_n think_v a_o praedeterminant_a or_o a_o jansenian_a to_o be_v incline_v to_o a_o arminian_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v of_o those_o opinion_n i_o therefore_o conclude_v as_o a_o most_o evident_a and_o infallible_a truth_n that_o the_o article_n be_v not_o defective_a in_o the_o way_n of_o discover_v popery_n or_o papist_n for_o that_o reason_n only_o because_o they_o have_v not_o sufficient_o express_v themselves_o against_o arminianism_n the_o three_o argument_n endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o defectiveness_n of_o the_o public_a doctrine_n be_v a_o enumeration_n of_o several_a common-place_n in_o divinity_n not_o comprehend_v in_o the_o article_n for_o so_o they_o argue_v those_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o providence_n fall_v of_o man_n etc._n

which_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o argument_n contain_v in_o it_o two_o objection_n neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v make_v good_a and_o yet_o if_o both_o be_v true_a they_o can_v not_o prove_v that_o which_o they_o intend_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n assert_n that_o the_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o the_o creation_n providence_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o
