A07344	An antidote against popery confected out of scriptures, fathers, councels, and histories. Wherein dialogue-wise are shewed, the points, grounds, and antiquitie of the Protestant religion; and the first springing vp of the points of popery: together with the Antichristianisme thereof. Being alone sufficient to inable any Protestant of meane capacitie, to vnderstand and yeeld a reason of his religion, and to incounter with and foyle the aduersary.

which_o i_o have_v begung_a eccles-exposition_n treasury_n of_o eccles-exposition_n and_o to_o perfect_v which_o will_v require_v the_o whole_a life_n and_o labour_n of_o one_o whole_a man_n many_o

so_o prosecute_v some_o point_n only_o as_o that_o howsoever_o they_o be_v for_o every_o man_n yet_o when_o they_o be_v read_v almost_o every_o man_n remain_v still_o unsatisfied_a in_o many_o thing_n last_o some_o be_v neither_o too_o large_a nor_o too_o short_a but_o have_v write_v full_o methodical_o and_o logical_o yet_o not_o so_o full_o but_o that_o diverse_a particular_n have_v be_v omit_v the_o common_a motive_n on_o both_o side_n have_v not_o be_v so_o thorough_o weigh_v the_o original_n of_o the_o many_o error_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o apostolic_a antiquity_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n have_v not_o be_v so_o declare_v nor_o the_o treatise_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o they_o so_o fit_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o vulgar_a so_o as_o that_o many_o read_v they_o but_o for_o want_v of_o capacity_n and_o through_o these_o defect_n in_o the_o work_n be_v not_o so_o much_o move_v now_o to_o supply_v all_o these_o defect_n and_o to_o instruct_v all_o even_o my_o most_o uncapable_a countryman_n in_o every_o point_n and_o motive_n so_o as_o that_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o to_o hinder_v those_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n and_o to_o cleave_v unto_o and_o obey_v it_o i_o have_v write_v this_o plain_a and_o short_a dialogue_n and_o herein_o i_o be_o not_o so_o blind_a but_o i_o see_v to_o what_o envy_v and_o hard_o censure_v i_o

that_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o i_o be_o not_o malicious_a against_o the_o roman_a catholic_n nor_o out_o of_o spite_n have_v thus_o write_v or_o use_v the_o name_n of_o elymas_n to_o disgrace_v any_o but_o wilful_a pontifician_n who_o for_o sinister_a respect_n against_o their_o knowledge_n seek_v to_o lead_v into_o error_n not_o only_o common_a people_n but_o noble_a governor_n that_o attentive_o hearken_v to_o paul_n preach_v for_o the_o rest_n let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o read_v i_o not_o as_o a_o enemy_n unless_o i_o shall_v therefore_o be_v count_v your_o enemy_n 4.16_o gal._n 4.16_o because_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n but_o as_o one_o that_o desire_v and_o pray_v for_o your_o salvation_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o through_o god_n grace_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o which_o will_v make_v you_o suspect_v and_o not_o so_o well_o to_o like_v your_o present_a estate_n nor_o so_o much_o to_o condemn_v our_o reformation_n if_o not_o to_o separate_v yourselves_o
