right_a way_n to_o the_o extirpation_n of_o all_o superstition_n and_o error_n and_o to_o the_o true_a setttng_a forth_n and_o maintenance_n of_o sincere_a religion_n and_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n who_o be_v to_o be_v bless_v for_o ever_o and_o yet_o somthe_a to_o answer_n they_o as_o concern_v this_o prince_n diverse_a matter_n may_v be_v allege_v whereof_o i_o will_v rehearse_v some_o which_o argue_v that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o addict_v to_o the_o romishe_a religion_n as_o some_o man_n will_v have_v y_z e_o world_n to_o believe_v and_o herein_o i_o will_v not_o deal_v subtle_o or_o crafty_o as_o to_o affirm_v before_o this_o auditory_a for_o a_o more_o strength_n to_o our_o cause_n y_fw-fr t_o the_o emperor_n afore_o his_o death_n think_v in_o all_o point_n of_o religion_n as_o we_o do_v for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v so_o myself_o of_o he_o only_o i_o will_v allege_v a_o few_o thing_n which_o either_o by_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o matter_n or_o else_o by_o good_a record_n be_v manifest_a to_o all_o y_z e_z world_n and_o first_o of_o all_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o he_o be_v content_v to_o be_v crown_v emperor_n without_o a_o mass_n which_o no_o emperor_n do_v before_o he_o a_o great_a many_o of_o year_n and_o if_o any_o man_n will_v deny_v this_o there_o be_v diverse_a person_n here_o present_a that_o be_v then_o at_o frankford_n and_o see_v the_o whole_a solemnity_n of_o his_o coronation_n which_o be_v do_v for_o more_o surety_n in_o this_o case_n at_o afternone_o not_o afore_o none_o as_o be_v accustom_v now_o if_o the_o emperor_n have_v so_o much_o esteem_v the_o mass_n as_o other_o have_v do_v before_o he_o he_o will_v not_o have_v suffer_v it_o to_o have_v be_v leave_v of_o at_o his_o coronation_n and_o if_o any_o for_o excuse_v hereof_o shall_v affirm_v that_o he_o be_v content_v at_o that_o time_n to_o dissemble_v the_o matter_n till_o he_o have_v obtain_v y_o e_o imperial_a crown_n those_o under_o colour_n of_o friendship_n shall_v be_v his_o enemy_n as_o diffame_v he_o that_o for_o ambition_n sake_n he_o will_v do_v a_o thing_n contrary_n to_o his_o conscience_n which_o who_o soever_o do_v affirm_v think_v not_o honourable_o nor_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o think_v of_o so_o good_a and_o so_o worthy_a a_o prince_n furthermore_o i_o have_v hear_v for_o a_o truth_n that_o afore_o his_o coronation_n he_o faithful_a promise_v the_o princess_n electour_n that_o he_o will_v never_o be_v crown_v of_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o sequel_n declare_v the_o same_o very_o manifest_o to_o be_v true_a for_o he_o be_v never_o crown_v of_o he_o in_o deed_n remain_v so_o long_o in_o the_o empire_n without_o the_o pope_n approbation_n which_o before_o time_n be_v use_v let_v it_o then_o be_v indifferent_o consider_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o much_o derogatory_n to_o the_o holy_a sea_n and_o whether_o saint_n peter_n prerogative_n be_v not_o much_o touch_v herein_o what_o a_o schismatical_a matter_n will_v this_o have_v be_v make_v and_o what_o stir_n will_v have_v ensue_v if_o the_o emperor_n ferdinand_n have_v live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o pope_n gregory_n the_o seven_o who_o procure_v the_o depose_n yea_o and_o death_n also_o of_o the_o emperor_n henry_n the_o iiii_o or_o in_o the_o day_n of_o pope_n alexander_n who_o set_v his_o foot_n in_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o emperor_n fridericus_n barbarossa_n but_o the_o pope_n be_v a_o wise_a man_n for_o although_o he_o retain_v the_o same_o mind_n that_o the_o other_o his_o predecessor_n have_v yet_o because_o the_o time_n do_v not_o serve_v his_o purpose_n he_o dissemble_v the_o matter_n and_o be_v content_v rather_o to_o take_v a_o piece_n then_o loose_a all_o and_o sure_o this_o one_o act_n be_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o this_o emperor_n do_v not_o think_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n so_o much_o to_o tender_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n as_o the_o canoniste_n will_v have_v it_o esteem_v sanctam_fw-la who_o make_v it_o a_o matter_n de_fw-fr necessitate_n salutis_fw-la of_o necessity_n to_o salvation_n for_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v as_o he_o do_v to_o have_v gain_v ten_o empire_n beside_o all_o this_o there_o be_v extant_a abroad_o in_o print_n a_o oration_n pronounce_v in_o the_o late_a tridentine_a counsel_n by_o the_o emperor_n ferdinandes_n ambassador_n in_o which_o oration_n there_o be_v request_v make_v by_o the_o emperor_n that_o liberty_n may_v be_v grant_v to_o have_v the_o communion_n minister_v in_o both_o kynde_n whereupon_o may_v very_o well_o be_v gather_v that_o the_o emperor_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o sacrilege_n of_o the_o romishe_a church_n in_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o god_n of_o the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o sacrament_n where_o christ_n himself_o institute_v both_o or_o else_o if_o he_o have_v think_v the_o one_o to_o be_v as_o sufficient_a as_o both_o which_o be_v the_o popish_a doctrine_n what_o need_v he_o to_o make_v any_o further_a suit_n and_o for_o further_a declaration_n of_o his_o earnestness_n in_o this_o point_n i_o will_v add_v that_o which_o i_o see_v write_v in_o auguste_n last_o pass_v by_o a_o man_n of_o good_a credit_n and_o estimation_n that_o ferdinandus_n the_o emperor_n not_o long_o before_o his_o death_n give_v licence_n to_o all_o his_o own_o country_n to_o have_v the_o use_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o sacrament_n in_o both_o kynde_n i_o do_v not_o affirm_v this_o but_o of_o report_n but_o sure_o if_o it_o be_v true_a i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n revel_v unto_o he_o other_o part_n of_o religion_n also_o which_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o hear_v of_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o will_v commend_v that_o matter_n unto_o god_n and_o what_o soever_o his_o religion_n be_v this_o solemn_a action_n for_o

somewhat_o to_o say_v of_o the_o true_a use_n meaning_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o same_o for_o the_o better_a satisfaction_n of_o doubtful_a mind_n for_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o there_o will_v be_v two_o contrary_a judgement_n concern_v the_o same_o the_o one_o part_n will_v say_v there_o be_v to_o little_a do_v the_o other_o will_v say_v there_o be_v to_o much_o the_o first_o part_n will_v allege_v that_o although_o they_o can_v but_o confess_v the_o action_n to_o be_v do_v very_o honorablye_o and_o with_o much_o magnificencie_n yet_o the_o principal_a matter_n of_o all_o be_v

sufficient_a of_o then selue_o to_o establish_v any_o doctrine_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n secondary_o we_o have_v no_o example_n in_o y_fw-fr e_fw-it canonical_a scripture_n of_o any_o
