will_v think_v that_o they_o do_v no_o good_a but_o only_o that_o they_o suffer_v good_a to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o he_o that_o suffer_v good_a do_v good_a for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v suffer_v

than_o if_o they_o be_v not_o there_o but_o only_o on_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o they_o and_o that_o you_o may_v evident_o perceive_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v where_o he_o say_v think_v that_o the_o mystery_n be_v consume_v by_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n now_o whether_o chrisostome_n think_v that_o there_o remain_v bread_n or_o solution_n no_o both_o way_n shall_v our_o purpose_n be_v prove_v first_o if_o he_o think_v there_o remain_v still_o bread_n and_o wine_n than_o we_o have_v our_o purpose_n now_o if_o he_o think_v that_o the_o bread_n &_o wine_n remain_v not_o but_o be_v change_v then_o be_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n neither_o mystery_n nor_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o that_o be_v not_o can_v neither_o be_v mystery_n nor_o sacrament_n final_o if_o he_o speak_v of_o y_fw-fr e_o outward_a appearance_n of_o bread_n then_o we_o know_v conclusion_n that_o that_o remain_v still_o &_o be_v not_o consume_v by_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v as_o i_o take_v he_o i_o think_v many_o man_n wonder_v how_o i_o can_v dye_v in_o this_o article_n sing_v that_o it_o be_v no_o necessary_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o i_o grant_v that_o neither_o part_n be_v a_o article_n necessary_a to_o be_v beléeve_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n but_o leave_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o think_v therein_o as_o god_n shall_v instill_v in_o every_o man_n mind_n and_o that_o neither_o part_n condemn_v other_o for_o this_o matter_n but_o receive_v each_o other_o in_o brotherly_a love_n reserve_v each_o other_o infirmity_n to_o god_n the_o cause_n of_o my_o death_n be_v this_o because_o i_o can_v not_o in_o conscience_n abjure_v death_n and_o swear_v that_o our_o prelate_n opinion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v very_o change_v into_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o undoubted_a article_n of_o the_o faith_n necessary_a to_o be_v beléeve_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n now_o though_o this_o opinion_n be_v indeed_o true_a which_o thing_n they_o can_v neither_o prove_v true_a by_o scripture_n nor_o doctor_n yet_o can_v i_o not_o in_o conscience_n note_n grant_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n necessary_a to_o be_v beléeve_v etc._n etc._n for_o there_o be_v many_o verity_n which_o yet_o may_v be_v no_o such_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o lay_v in_o iron_n when_o i_o write_v this_o howbeit_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o receive_v this_o truth_n for_o a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o you_o may_v think_v the_o contrary_a without_o all_o jeopardy_n of_o damnation_n ¶_o the_o cause_n why_o i_o can_v not_o believe_v their_o opinion_n of_o transmutation_n be_v this_o 1_o first_o because_o i_o think_v very_o cause_n that_o it_o be_v false_a and_o can_v neither_o he_o prove_v by_o scripture_n nor_o faithful_a doctor_n if_o they_o be_v well_o ponder_v 2_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v this_o because_o i_o will_v not_o bind_v the_o congregation_n of_o christ_n by_o my_o example_n to_o admit_v any_o necessary_a article_n beside_o our_o creed_n and_o special_o none_o such_o as_o can_v not_o be_v prove_v true_a by_o scripture_n and_o i_o say_v that_o the_o church_n as_o they_o caule_v it_o can_v not_o compel_v we_o to_o receive_v any_o such_o article_n to_o be_v of_o necessity_n under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n 3_o the_o third_o cause_n be_v because_o i_o dare_v not_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a in_o enter_v into_o god_n judgement_n as_o to_o make_v the_o prelate_n in_o this_o point_n a_o necessary_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o than_o i_o shall_v damnable_o condemn_v all_o the_o german_n &_o almain_n with_o infinite_a more_o which_o in_o deed_n do_v not_o believe_v nor_o think_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n natural_a body_n and_o sure_o i_o can_v not_o be_v so_o foolish_a hardy_a as_o to_o condemn_v such_o a_o infinite_a number_n for_o our_o prelate_n pleasure_n thus_o all_o the_o germayne_v and_o almain_n both_o of_o luther_n side_n and_o also_o of_o oecolampadius_n do_v whole_o approve_v my_o matter_n and_o sure_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v a_o pure_a conscience_n but_o he_o will_v think_v that_o i_o die_v righteous_o for_o that_o this_o transubstantiation_n shall_v be_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o the_o faith_n i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v say_v it_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n although_o it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n by_o i_o john_n frith_n a_o exact_a and_o diligent_a table_n

scripture_n that_o i_o have_v allege_v against_o purgatory_n for_o that_o have_v cause_v i_o to_o make_v a_o subsidy_n defence_n and_o bulwark_n to_o my_o book_n which_o by_o god_n grace_n shall_v be_v a_o occasion_n to_o open_v more_o light_n although_o not_o to_o you_o yet_o at_o the_o lestwise_n unto_o they_o who_o heart_n the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n have_v not_o blind_v but_o 4._o that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o glory_n of_o christ_n may_v shine_v in_o they_o and_o where_o as_o you_o write_v and_o protest_v that_o you_o will_v bring_v no_o scripture_n against_o i_o but_o only_o rehearse_v my_o scripture_n again_o which_o i_o have_v allege_v unperfeit_o and_o wound_n i_o with_o my_o own_o dart_n and_o will_v but_o even_o do_v as_o one_o that_o play_v at_o ten_o with_o a_o other_o toss_v the_o ball_n again_o i_o do_v very_o well_o admit_v your_o similitude_n notwithstanding_o you_o know_v right_a well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n play_v at_o ten_o to_o toss_v the_o ball_n again_o but_o he_o ten●…e_n must_v so_o toss_v it_o that_o the_o other_o take_v it_o not_o for_o if_o the_o other_o smite_v it_o over_o again_o then_o be_v the_o game_n in_o as_o great_a ieoberdy_o as_o it_o be_v before_o beside_o that_o he_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o he_o neither_o smite_v to_o short_a of_o the_o line_n not_o yet_o under_o for_o than_o it_o be_v a_o loss_n and_o he_o have_v be_v better_a to_o let_v it_o go_v and_o final_o sometime_o a_o man_n smite_v over_o and_o thynk_v all_o win_v and_o yet_o a_o ungracious_a post_n stand_v in_o the_o way_n and_o make_v the_o ball_n to_o rebound_v back_o again_o over_o the_o cord_n &_o so_o lose_v the_o game_n and_o that_o will_v anger_v a_o man_n and_o i_o assartayne_v you_o that_o you_o have_v toss_v never_o a_o ball_n but_o you_o offend_v in_o one_o of_o these_o point_n &_o yet_o beside_o that_o some_o time_n you_o play_v a_o touch_n of_o legerdemain_n and_o cast_v i_o a_o ball_n which_o when_o it_o come_v i_o perceive_v to_o be_v none_o of_o i_o and_o all_o the_o court_n shall_v judge_v the_o same_o these_o point_n shall_v be_v declare_v when_o we_o come_v to_o they_o and_o now_o i_o will_v answer_v in_o order_n rastell_n in_o your_o prologue_n you_o assign_v two_o cause_n of_o the_o make_n of_o your_o first_o book_n of_o purgatory_n with_o out_o allege_v any_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o y_o e_o proof_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o controversy_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n one_o sort_n you_o purgatory_n say_v be_v those_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n but_o deny_v christ_n and_o his_o scripture_n as_o be_v the_o turk_n paynime_n and_o such_o other_o miscreaunte_n an_o other_o sort_n be_v they_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n &_o his_o scripture_n nor_o will_v deny_v no_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o yet_o they_o will_v construe_v expound_v and_o interpret_v these_o text_n after_o their_o own_o will_n and_o obstinate_a mind_n etc._n etc._n

now_o let_v we_o consider_v your_o foresay_a cause_n &_o ponder_v whether_o your_o book_n have_v or_o may_v do_v any_o such_o good_a as_o you_o say_v pretend_v &_o whether_o it_o have_v convert_v those_o sort_n of_o people_n or_o else_o be_v any_o thing_n likely_a to_o do_v such_o a_o fact_n and_o first_o let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o profit_v y_o it_o first_o sort_n which_o be_v infidel_n not_o beleve_v in_o christ_n nor_o his_o scripture_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v he_o that_o beleve_v cause_n be_v not_o damn_v &_o john_n baptist_n confirm_v the_o same_o say_n he_o that_o beleve_v in_o y_z e_z son_n have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o he_o that_o beleve_v not_o in_o the_o son_n shall_v not_o see_v life_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v upon_o he_o here_o it_o be_v evident_a not_o by_o my_o exposition_n but_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o christian_a man_n that_o those_o infidel_n be_v damn_v for_o what_o intent_n then_o shall_v rastell_n teach_v they_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n without_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o way_n but_o damnation_n as_o scripture_n &_o all_o faithful_a man_n testify_v then_o will_v i_o know_v by_o what_o way_n he_o will_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n which_o shall_v be_v away_o &_o a_o mean_a to_o salvation_n and_o not_o to_o damnation_n for_o they_o which_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n this_o vain_a i_o be_o sure_a of_o and_o i_o think_v rastell_n be_v leve_v it_o also_o that_o the_o infideles_fw-la shall_v never_o come_v in_o it_o though_o there_o be_v one_o this_o you_o may_v see_v that_o his_o first_o cause_n be_v very_o vain_a and_o that_o if_o they_o do_v believe_v it_o they_o be_v in_o deed_n deceyve_v now_o let_v we_o proceed_v unto_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o people_n which_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o his_o scripture_n and_o yet_o misconstrue_v it_o expound_v it_o after_o their_o own_o will_n and_o let_v we_o see_v what_o fruit_n they_o take_v of_o this_o book_n &_o what_o it_o profit_v they_o &_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o less_o serve_v these_o man_n than_o the_o first_o for_o if_o this_o man_n believe_v in_o christ_n and_o in_o his_o scripture_n then_o be_v it_o not_o possible_a that_o they_o shall_v receive_v or_o admit_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v against_o the_o scripture_n both_o by_o the_o exposition_n of_o themselves_o &_o of_o all_o the_o world_n for_o this_o be_v both_o against_o scripture_n and_o all_o faithful_a man_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o way_n to_o health_n if_o we_o exclude_v christ_n and_o his_o scripture_n and_o since_o purgatory_n be_v count_v away_o to_o health_n he_o that_o will_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o seclude_v christ_n and_o scripture_n be_v against_o scripture_n and_o all_o faithful_a man_n beside_o that_o if_o they_o be_v so_o obstinate_a that_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o very_a scripture_n but_o expound_v it_o after_o their_o own_o will_n &_o wrest_v it_o after_o the_o same_o then_o will_v they_o much_o less_o receive_v your_o book_n which_o be_v so_o plain_a against_o scripture_n &_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v think_v that_o they_o can_v be_v tame_v by_o your_o book_n which_o notwithstanding_o so_o wre_v scripture_n then_o may_v i_o very_o well_o example_n liken_v you_o to_o he_o that_o have_v a_o wild_a horse_n to_o tame_v which_o when_o he_o perceive_v that_o he_o can_v not_o hold_v he_o with_o a_o scoktishe_a snafle_n will_v yet_o labour_v to_o break_v he_o with_o a_o rooten_a twine_n thread_n so_o that_o i_o can_v espy_v no_o manner_n of_o profit_n that_o can_v come_v of_o your_o book_n if_o you_o can_v allege_v no_o better_a cause_n than_o you_o yet_o show_v but_o that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_a unwritten_a and_o brother_n rastel_n where_o you_o say_v taunt_n that_o i_o avaunce_v &_o boast_v myself_o much_o more_o than_o become_v i_o and_o that_o i_o detract_v and_o slander_v my_o neighbour_n &_o that_o i_o provoke_v all_o man_n that_o read_v my_o book_n rather_o to_o vice_n then_o to_o virtue_n with_o such_o other_o thing_n as_o you_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n i_o trust_v i_o shall_v declare_v my_o inconvenience_n and_o geve_v you_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n ¶_o a_o answer_n to_o rastel_n first_o chapter_n which_o reprove_v i_o for_o boast_v myself_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n rastell_n rastell_n labour_v to_o prove_v that_o i_o be_o sore_o over_o see_v in_o laud_v &_o boast_v myself_o &_o that_o i_o like_v myself_o so_o well_o that_o he_o be_v sure_a that_o other_o man_n do_v like_o i_o the_o less_o and_o that_o he_o fear_v that_o god_n will_v therefore_o like_o i_o &_o favour_v i_o rather_o the_o worse_a than_o the_o better_a here_o he_o iuggele_v with_o i_o and_o frith_n will_v make_v i_o believe_v that_o he_o toss_v i_o i_o own_o ball_n again_o but_o when_o i_o behold_v it_o i_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v none_o of_o i_o for_o he_o have_v cut_v out_o all_o that_o ball_n shall_v make_v for_o i_o so_o that_o he_o have_v give_v it_o clean_o a_o other_o shape_n then_o ever_o i_o intend_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v as_o it_o appear_v by_o his_o writing_n which_o rehearse_v my_o word_n in_o this_o manner_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v many_o that_o rastell_n marvel_n that_o i_o be_v so_o young_a dare_v attempt_v to_o dispute_v this_o matter_n against_o these_o three_o person_n but_o my_o word_n frith_n be_v these_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v much_o marvel_n that_o i_o be_v so_o young_a and_o of_o so_o small_a learning_n dare_v dispute_v this_o matter_n etc._n etc._n here_o rastell_n leave_v out_o the_o word_n and_o of_o so_o small_a learning_n for_o if_o he_o have_v put_v that_o in_o he_o have_v bewray_v himself_o for_o i_o think_v no_o man_n so_o mad_a as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o which_o say_v himself_o to_o be_v both_o young_a and_o of_o small_a learning_n shall_v praise_v and_o boast_n himself_o also_o immediate_o after_o the_o word_n frith_n of_o his_o first_o allegation_n i_o say_v on_o this_o manner_n and_o as_o touch_v my_o learning_n i_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o it_o be_v very_o small_a which_o i_o think_v be_v but_o a_o base_a boast_n and_o anon_o after_o i_o say_v i_o will_v not_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v admit_v my_o word_n or_o learning_n except_o they_o will_v stand_v with_o the_o scripture_n and_o be_v approve_v thereby_o lay_v they_o to_o the_o touchstone_n and_o try_v they_o with_o god_n word_n if_o they_o be_v find_v false_a and_o contrary_a then_o

rather_o what_o be_v speak_v by_o which_o word_n you_o may_v well_o see_v that_o i_o intend_v not_o to_o boast_v myself_o and_o all_o this_o have_v i_o write_v and_o be_v leave_v it_o out_o even_o in_o the_o first_o page_n as_o he_o call_v it_o wherein_o he_o report_v that_o i_o boast_v myself_o notwithstanding_o one_o thing_n do_v rastell_n sore_o vex_v he_o that_o i_o shall_v recite_v the_o

more_n and_o my_o lord_n of_o rochester_n allege_v for_o their_o opinion_n and_o will_v have_v they_o to_o ponder_v their_o reason_n and_o my_o cavile_v solution_n unto_o they_o annex_v these_o word_n i_o be_o sure_a y_fw-mi t_o my_o small_a learning_n have_v conden_v their_o high_a eloquence_n that_o my_o folye_n have_v bring_v to_o nought_o their_o wisdom_n &_o that_o my_o youth_n have_v disclose_v their_o fester_a ignorance_n there_o rastell_n think_v that_o i_o stand_v frith_n well_o in_o my_o own_o conceit_n and_o boast_v myself_o above_o the_o moon_n because_o i_o touch_v m._n more_o his_o kynsman_n but_o let_v rastell_n take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n if_o m._n more_n will_v keep_v he_o within_o his_o own_o bond_n that_o be_v with_o meddle_v of_o god_n worldly_a matter_n only_o i_o will_v never_o compare_v with_o he_o yet_o he_o must_v remember_v that_o a_o dauber_n may_v correct_v he_o in_o his_o own_o craft_n but_o it_o be_v even_o as_o socrates_n say_v when_o a_o man_n be_v wise_a in_o one_o thing_n then_o will_v he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o define_v all_o thing_n and_o be_v ignorant_a in_o nothing_o and_o so_o disdain_v the_o gift_n that_o he_o have_v and_o prove_v himself_o unwise_a furthermore_o i_o see_v no_o great_a praise_n that_o i_o here_o attribute_n unto_o myself_o but_o confess_v my_o small_a learning_n my_o folly_n and_o my_o youth_n nevertheless_o if_o he_o recount_v it_o a_o praise_n because_o i_o say_v it_o have_v condemn_v their_o high_a eloquence_n and_o their_o wisdom_n and_o disclose_v their_o ignorance_n then_o let_v he_o also_o annexe_v the_o word_n that_o i_o write_v say_v and_o it_o be_v even_o the_o old_a practice_n of_o god_n to_o choose_v the_o foolish_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o wise_a to_o choose_v the_o weak_a to_o confound_v the_o mighty_a chapter_n and_o to_o choose_v the_o vile_a thing_n which_o be_v of_o no_o reputation_n to_o confound_v they_o of_o high_a degree_n that_o no_o
