out_o of_o this_o world_n impenitent_a or_o in_o despair_n any_o prayer_n after_o make_v can_v never_o stand_v he_o in_o stead_n then_o it_o appear_v clear_o that_o s._n john_n mean_v that_o there_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

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 tenâ—…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

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

that_o frith_n have_v allege_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o bring_v the_o people_n in_o belief_n that_o there_o be_v no_o hell_n for_o i_o allege_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o rastels_n dialogue_n the_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n ephe._n 1_o christ_n 1_o choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a &_o without_o spot_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o again_o eph._n 5._o christ_n love_v his_o congregation_n chapter_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o it_o that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v it_o in_o the_o fountain_n of_o water_n through_o the_o word_n to_o

christ_n have_v so_o purge_v we_o that_o we_o be_v wtout_fw-fr spot_n wrinkle_n or_o blame_v in_o his_o sight_n as_o paul_n testify_v then_o will_v he_o never_o cast_v we_o into_o purgatory_n for_o what_o shall_v be_v purge_v in_o they_o that_o be_v without_o spot_n wrinkle_n or_o blame_v and_o then_o somewhat_o to_o declare_v the_o matter_n how_o we_o be_v sinner_n as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v

be_v a_o sinner_n 1._o joh._n 2._o therefore_o i_o will_v bréefe_o declare_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostel_n this_o be_v first_o a_o clear_a case_n that_o there_o live_v no_o man_n upon_o the_o

for_o christ_n through_o he_o be_v not_o thy_o sin_n impute_v nor_o reckon_v unto_o thou_o &_o so_o be_v they_o to_o who_o god_n impute_v not_o their_o sin_n bless_a rightwise_n wtout_fw-fr spot_n
