of_o the_o anabaptiste_n for_o he_o know_v very_o well_o that_o among_o his_o minister_n there_o be_v many_o most_o wicked_a ungodly_a man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o his_o

the_o donatist_n slander_v wrongful_o catholic_n in_o time_n past_a may_v suffice_v to_o confute_v all_o these_o reproachful_a and_o injurious_a lie_n of_o our_o present_a adversary_n let_v we_o not_o

he_o hitherto_o s._n augustine_n 20._o final_o it_o be_v here_o diligent_o to_o be_v note_v that_o our_o adversary_n never_o dare_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o affirm_v so_o strange_a and_o absurd_a thing_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n so_o ancient_a in_o itself_o and_o so_o commend_v by_o all_o the_o ancient_a holy_a father_n yea_o and_o by_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n himself_o but_o that_o they_o false_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o she_o have_v lose_v and_o forsake_v the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o christ._n 8._o heerupon_o they_o say_v that_o rome_n be_v babylon_n and_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o affirm_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v antichrist_n but_o if_o it_o be_v once_o prove_v manifest_o that_o the_o roman_a church_n teach_v nothing_o which_o be_v not_o very_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n all_o our_o adversary_n weapon_n against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v easy_o be_v blunt_v and_o overthrow_v and_o also_o they_o will_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v with_o calvin_n fine_a that_o the_o breach_n from_o this_o church_n be_v the_o denial_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n or_o that_o there_o can_v be_v imagine_v any_o fault_n more_o heinous_a but_o this_o god_n willing_a shall_v be_v more_o evident_o hereafter_o declare_v in_o every_o controversy_n chap._n ix_o of_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n &_o of_o the_o kiss_n of_o his_o foot_n among_o other_o crime_n wherewith_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v charge_v by_o our_o adversary_n one_o at_o which_o many_o take_v offence_n be_v the_o adoration_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o kiss_n of_o his_o foot_n we_o will_v therefore_o in_o this_o chapter_n say_v somewhat_o in_o justification_n thereof_o for_o if_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o nothing_o be_v do_v therein_o which_o be_v not_o

2._o howbeit_o we_o be_v first_o to_o forewarn_v the_o reader_n to_o the_o end_n he_o be_v not_o deceive_v by_o

we_o say_v somewhat_o of_o the_o ancient_a holy_a father_n and_o of_o their_o write_n both_o because_o they_o be_v in_o time_n past_o the_o chief_a member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o our_o adversary_n as_o also_o because_o in_o the_o particular_a controversy_n we_o shall_v often_o use_v the_o testimony_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n 2._o we_o know_v indeed_o well_o enough_o that_o they_o be_v man_n and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v err_v but_o neither_o be_v they_o god_n nor_o angel_n who_o accuse_v they_o of_o their_o error_n we_o know_v also_o that_o one_o or_o more_o of_o the_o say_v holy_a father_n have_v sometime_o err_v when_o they_o leave_v the_o more_o common_a opinion_n of_o other_o 3._o but_o we_o affirm_v this_o constant_o that_o the_o ancient_a holy_a father_n receive_v by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v never_o write_v any_o thing_n with_o a_o common_a and_o unanime_fw-la consent_n that_o be_v

at_o all_o for_o if_o they_o have_v all_o err_v in_o a_o necessary_a point_n of_o salvation_n the_o whole_a ancient_a church_n shall_v also_o have_v err_v cont_n the_o which_o even_o our_o adversary_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v false_a as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o 6._o second_o that_o promise_n of_o christ_n whereby_o he_o assecure_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v always_o present_a with_o his_o church_n be_v proper_o make_v to_o the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o same_o ●lt_n for_o he_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v be_v present_a with_o those_o who_o he_o send_v to_o baptize_v and_o preach_v to_o wit_n the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n 7._o three_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n in_o his_o church_n 14._o as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o be_v not_o carry_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o that_o we_o may_v continue_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n till_o we_o all_o meet_v with_o christ_n in_o the_o l●st_o day_n but_o if_o all_o the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n can_v err_v we_o may_v easy_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o many_o blast_n of_o strange_a doctrine_n neither_o can_v the_o u●i●y_n of_o faith_n always_o continue_v and_o in_o this_o manner_n god_n shall_v have_v provide_v very_o bad_o for_o his_o church_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o err_v 8._o final_o if_o all_o the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v teach_v any_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o faith_n there_o shall_v no_o sincere_a and_o true_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n remain_v in_o the_o church_n see_v that_o only_a pastor_n and_o doctor_n be_v lawful_o call_v to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o god_n but_o without_o the_o sincere_a preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a 15._o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n shall_v consist_v as_o even_o our_o adversary_n confess_v and_o as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o 9_o second_o we_o take_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o auncientholy_a father_n as_o out_o of_o most_o faithful_a and_o true_a witness_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o in_o their_o time_n be_v preach_v in_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o our_o adversary_n acknowledge_v that_o in_o their_o time_n the_o true_a and_o sincere_a faith_n of_o christ_n be_v preach_v we_o therefore_o allege_v they_o as_o witness_n of_o that_o faith_n for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o who_o live_v at_o that_o time_n who_o will_v we_o believe_v but_o they_o be_v both_o eye_n witness_n and_o nothing_o suspect_v of_o falsehood_n as_o s._n augustine_n declare_v very_o well_o dispute_v against_o the_o pelagian_n 10._o three_o we_o take_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n ult._n as_o out_o of_o those_o doctor_n who_o write_n have_v be_v receive_v and_o approve_v by_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v wont_a to_o impugn_v and_o condenne_v those_o writer_n who_o write_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o true_a faith_n lest_o their_o write_n may_v be_v hurtful_a to_o the_o future_a church_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o approve_v their_o write_n who_o teach_v the_o true_a faith_n there_o be_v y●t_o extant_a a_o decree_n of_o the_o roman_a council_n papae_fw-la set_v forth_o almost_o a_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o concern_v these_o write_n they_o therefore_o who_o have_v be_v

matter_n of_o faith_n 11._o four_o we_o take_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n as_o out_o of_o the_o most_o holy_a and_o learned_a man_n and_o bless_a saint_n of_o god_n for_o either_o they_o have_v the_o sincere_a true_a faith_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v embrace_v the_o same_o or_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o they_o be_v not_o saint_n of_o god_n nor_o can_v they_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o 6._o as_o the_o apostle_n testify_v 12._o by_o this_o very_a argument_n the_o catholic_n in_o time_n past_a overcome_v the_o arian_n eccles._n for_o they_o urge_v they_o to_o receive_v the_o holy_a father_n who_o write_v before_o arius_n his_o time_n or_o they_o shall_v excommunicate_v they_o as_o socrates_n and_o sozomenus_n do_v testify_v 13._o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n serve_v very_o fit_o those_o word_n of_o s._n augustine_n wherein_o he_o declare_v what_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n concern_v this_o matter_n

be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o also_o dutiful_a 3._o the_o first_o testimony_n be_v that_o which_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n record_v in_o these_o word_n 14._o thus_o say_v our_o lord_n the_o

the_o prophet_n therefore_o say_v that_o the_o labour_n &_o negotiation_n that_o be_v the_o riches_n get_v together_o by_o labour_n and_o negotiation_n of_o egypt_n and_o ethiopia_n and_o the_o

and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n in_o the_o last_o conjugation_n as_o it_o be_v use_v here_o and_o in_o a_o manner_n every_o where_o el●_n signify_v to_o prostrate_v
