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

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

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
