A07845 The golden ballance of tryall VVherein the reader shall plainly and briefely behold, as in a glasse of crystall; aswell by what rule all controuersies in religion, are to be examined, as also who is, and of right ought to be the vpright iudge in that behalfe. Whereunto is also annexed a counterblast against a masked companion, terming himself E.O. but supposed to be Robert Parsons the trayterous Iesuite.

will_v see_v what_o be_v best_a if_o it_o be_v do_v it_o must_v be_v very_o short_a and_o rather_o make_v to_o describe_v the_o man_n then_o to_o unfold_v at_o large_a his_o doctrine_n for_o if_o it_o

that_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n be_v of_o a_o very_a shallow_a judgement_n and_o small_a reach_n if_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v in_o eight_o whole_a year_n what_o to_o answer_v to_o a_o

which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v true_a the_o jesuite_n the_o man_n be_v past_o all_o grace_n and_o shame_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o this_o lewd_a jesuite_n

of_o better_a desert_n by_o many_o degree_n than_o themselves_o second_o they_o be_v arrant_a traitor_n cruel_a murderer_n impudent_a liar_n notorious_a coozener_n full_a of_o envy_n pride_n malice_n

this_o rail_a fellow_n have_v grant_v already_o that_o i_o will_v utter_v nothing_o of_o they_o but_o know_v truth_n &_o consequent_o i_o must_v have_v some_o grace_n and_o honesty_n leave_v by_o

the_o answer_n loe_o they_o that_o have_v consult_v how_o to_o answer_v my_o book_n be_v not_o only_o many_o in_o number_n but_o also_o of_o the_o best_a judgement_n and_o reputation_n among_o they_o

gentle_a reader_n to_o observe_v these_o point_n with_o i_o first_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o publish_v wicked_a doctrine_n a_o other_o thing_n to_o teach_v wicked_a doctrine_n public_o the_o case_n be_v clear_a and_o evident_a sccond_o that_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v call_v godly_a man_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o public_a doctrine_n and_o preach_v or_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o good_a life_n and_o holy_a conversation_n for_o this_o cause_n do_v our_o saviour_n christ_n command_v the_o people_n to_o observe_v and_o do_v 3._o whatsoever_o the_o

christ_n repute_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n both_o godly_a and_o wicked_a man_n godly_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o public_a doctrine_n wicked_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o sinful_a life_n for_o
