your_o postscript_n wherein_o you_o tell_v your_o reader_n of_o some_o thing_n you_o have_v to_o advertise_v he_o the_o first_o you_o say_v be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n of_o truth_n when_o man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n be_v enrage_v against_o it_o true_o than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n for_o man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n be_v against_o we_o witness_v the_o rude_a behaviour_n of_o those_o that_o threaten_v to_o throw_v i_o over_o the_o gallery_n for_o ask_v m._n willes_n a_o question_n and_o not_o only_o those_o but_o such_o as_o make_v a_o gain_n of_o

their_o parish_n they_o will_v leave_v they_o and_o go_v to_o another_o i_o say_v these_o be_v the_o man_n that_o cry_v down_o that_o which_o we_o profess_v as_o the_o smoke_n of_o the_o bottomless_a

this_o may_v be_v call_v a_o good_a argument_n the_o truth_n be_v of_o our_o side_n but_o this_o be_v no_o infallible_a way_n of_o reason_v in_o the_o second_o place_n you_o tell_v your_o reader_n that_o those_o that_o have_v design_n against_o the_o truth_n have_v usual_o some_o plausible_a pretence_n to_o carry_v they_o on_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o you_o be_v none_o of_o those_o that_o have_v plausible_a design_n against_o the_o truth_n though_o you_o have_v a_o great_a many_o you_o have_v scarce_o one_o that_o be_v plausible_a for_o if_o you_o have_v you_o will_v never_o have_v discover_v to_o the_o world_n so_o much_o contradiction_n &_o folly_n as_o you_o have_v do_v in_o your_o book_n neither_o will_v you_o have_v declare_v that_o your_o mother_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o harlot_n at_o the_o time_n that_o your_o predecessor_n receive_v ordination_n from_o she_o neither_o will_v you_o have_v compare_v she_o to_o korah_n &_o to_o a_o thief_n as_o you_o have_v do_v and_o yet_o justify_v she_o ordain_v minister_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n will_v you_o have_v have_v your_o design_n plausible_a you_o shall_v never_o have_v discover_v the_o pedigree_n of_o your_o clergy_n by_o call_v their_o progenitor_n thief_n and_o harlot_n sure_o this_o will_v not_o be_v plausible_a to_o any_o that_o shall_v hear_v it_o when_o they_o come_v to_o know_v that_o your_o glorious_a succession_n you_o so_o much_o boast_v of_o come_v from_o such_o infamous_a predecessor_n the_o three_o thing_n you_o inform_v your_o reader_n in_o be_v that_o those_o that_o design_v the_o propagate_a of_o error_n will_v for_o the_o most_o part_n oppose_v but_o seldom_o assert_v etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o answer_v by_o counter-query_n and_o that_o rather_o than_o you_o will_v assert_v any_o thing_n positive_o you_o put_v your_o respondent_fw-la to_o prove_v negation_n when_o the_o contrary_a be_v find_v in_o

hope_v for_o it_o you_o may_v fear_v to_o be_v correct_v by_o a_o more_o severe_a hand_n than_o i_o for_o those_o many_o impertinency_n slander_n and_o contradiction_n that_o your_o book_n be_v fraught_v withal_o which_o i_o pray_v god_n help_v you_o to_o consider_v of_o that_o you_o may_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o it_o which_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o sir_n your_o friend_n as_o far_o as_o you_o be_v the_o truth_n jer_n ives_n a_o appendix_n reader_n i_o have_v for_o thy_o further_a satisfaction_n publish_v some_o observation_n that_o i_o have_v collect_v touch_v the_o ordination_n of_o the_o national_a ministry_n since_o their_o revolt_n from_o rome_n in_o the_o time_n of_o hen._n 8._o and_o first_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o time_n of_o hen._n 8._o do_v not_o separate_v from_o rome_n for_o conscience_n but_o for_o base_a end_n and_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n sake_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o retain_v all_o the_o superstitious_a custom_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o their_o persecute_v to_o death_n those_o that_o do_v out_o of_o a_o good_a conscience_n oppose_v they_o the_o truth_n hereof_o be_v plentiful_o manifest_v in_o the_o history_n of_o that_o time_n second_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o edw._n 6._o his_o reign_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o religion_n be_v alter_v and_o such_o a_o reformation_n begin_v as_o do_v agree_v with_o the_o will_n of_o a_o committee_n of_o twelve_o man_n and_o what_o form_n of_o worship_n shall_v be_v agree_v upon_o by_o any_o seven_o of_o these_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o whole_a nation_n this_o be_v such_o great_a presumption_n that_o the_o like_a can_v be_v parallel_v in_o any_o ecclesiastical_a story_n and_o yet_o now_o the_o anabaptist_n be_v cry_v down_o as_o man_n full_a of_o presumption_n and_o such_o as_o swerve_v from_o the_o step_n of_o tradition_n three_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o queen_n mary_n the_o roman_a religion_n be_v by_o she_o restore_v and_o the_o land_n be_v overspread_v with_o popery_n and_o popish_a bishop_n and_o priest_n be_v set_v up_o in_o all_o part_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o their_o religion_n confirm_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o cardinal_n pool_n the_o pope_n legite_fw-la absolve_v the_o kingdom_n from_o the_o excommunication_n which_o the_o pope_n have_v pronounce_v against_o the_o land_n four_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o queen_n elizabeth_n begin_v to_o reign_v the_o whole_a nation_n be_v overspread_v with_o popery_n insomuch_o that_o all_o bishop_n that_o will_v not_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n be_v turn_v out_o of_o their_o bishopric_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_n there_o be_v a_o want_n of_o bishop_n to_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o those_o which_o the_o queen_n have_v eject_v for_o popery_n so_o that_o from_o that_o time_n to_o this_o our_o clergy_n have_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n touch_v their_o ordination_n as_o appear_v first_o because_o they_o sometime_o plead_v a_o ordination_n by_o succession_n and_o sometime_o they_o leave_v succession_n and_o plead_v to_o necessity_n and_o a_o extraordinary_a call_n now_o if_o they_o plead_v they_o have_v their_o ordination_n by_o succession_n from_o rome_n than_o they_o must_v justify_v rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n in_o rent_v since_o they_o say_v she_o be_v as_o good_a when_o they_o leave_v she_o as_o she_o be_v when_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o she_o again_o if_o that_o rome_n be_v not_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n when_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o she_o than_o they_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n because_o that_o they_o can_v prove_v a_o power_n of_o ordain_v minister_n give_v to_o any_o out_o of_o the_o church_n so_o that_o if_o their_o ordination_n from_o rome_n by_o succession_n be_v value_v rome_n must_v be_v justify_v to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n again_o if_o they_o shall_v plead_v to_o necessity_n and_o a_o extraordinary_a call_n here_o they_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n again_o because_o first_o there_o be_v many_o reform_a church_n in_o the_o world_n from_o who_o they_o may_v have_v be_v ordain_v without_o receive_v order_n from_o rome_n and_o also_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o plead_v necessity_n of_o preach_v without_o ordination_n since_o they_o may_v have_v have_v it_o from_o those_o church_n that_o be_v reform_v before_o they_o last_o they_o fear_v to_o plead_v this_o argument_n of_o necessity_n lest_o they_o shall_v justify_v their_o adversary_n the_o anabaptist_n and_o other_o sectary_n which_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o plead_v necessity_n then_o themselves_o this_o appear_v by_o m._n willes_n his_o refusal_n to_o resolve_v i_o when_o i_o be_v at_o his_o house_n whether_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n by_o a_o lawful_a succession_n or_o necessity_n because_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o be_v a_o jesuit_n or_o a_o anabaptist_n for_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o they_o to_o plead_v their_o ordination_n by_o succession_n when_o they_o will_v oppose_v the_o anabaptist_n and_o to_o take_v up_o the_o anabaptist_n argument_n of_o necessity_n when_o they_o oppose_v the_o papist_n and_o therefore_o dr._n
