david_n there_o be_v many_o true_a subject_n of_o david_n that_o go_v after_o absalon_n to_o take_v his_o part_n in_o their_o simplicity_n 15.11_o 2._o sam_n 15.11_o as_o the_o scripture_n record_v

confession_n or_o some_o such_o school_n question_n not_o know_v or_o believe_v all_o point_n of_o popery_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o very_a mystery_n of_o iniquity_n of_o such_o i_o say_v that_o in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o their_o heart_n think_v of_o the_o pope_n doctrine_n no_o otherwise_o then_o david_n subject_n do_v of_o the_o rebellion_n of_o absalon_n i_o will_v not_o despair_v but_o

but_o for_o a_o further_a answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o say_v that_o the_o case_n of_o our_o recusant_n papist_n living_n at_o this_o day_n and_o the_o case_n of_o our_o forefather_n live_v in_o time_n of_o great_a corruption_n be_v not_o peer_n nor_o nothing_o like_o at_o all_o the_o disparison_n be_v this_o our_o forefather_n live_v in_o a_o time_n of_o great_a blindness_n wherein_o

of_o the_o apostle_n when_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o knowledge_n of_o save_v truth_n be_v never_o so_o plentiful_a and_o flourish_a as_o now_o it_o be_v again_o the_o error_n of_o our_o

have_v live_v in_o these_o latter_a time_n and_o have_v see_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o our_o religion_n they_o will_v most_o willing_o have_v embrace_v the_o same_o truth_n we_o profess_v this_o

they_o in_o those_o day_n wish_v the_o remove_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o have_v remove_v but_o as_o touch_v the_o error_n of_o our_o obstinate_a and_o wilful_a recusant_n pap_n they_o proceed_v of_o mere_a obstinacy_n pertinacious_o defend_v most_o dangerous_a error_n he_o that_o be_v deceive_v juba_n cypri_n ad_fw-la juba_n and_o err_v of_o simplicity_n may_v be_v pardon_v but_o after_o

and_o wilful_a defence_n very_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o sober_a and_o learned_a papist_n in_o this_o land_n that_o can_v deny_v if_o he_o will_v true_o say_v and_o as_o he_o think_v in_o his_o own_o conscience_n but_o that_o we_o be_v come_v as_o near_o as_o possible_a we_o can_v to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o catholic_a bishop_n which_o church_n be_v sound_a and_o perfect_a and_o spot_v with_o no_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n and_o have_v direct_v according_a to_o their_o custom_n and_o ordinance_n not_o only_o the_o doctrine_n this_o day_n profess_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o also_o the_o sacrament_n and_o form_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o divine_a service_n establish_v here_o among_o we_o the_o psalm_n we_o sing_v be_v david_n the_o book_n we_o read_v be_v canonical_a the_o prayer_n we_o make_v be_v consonant_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o proportion_n of_o faith_n and_o true_a godliness_n and_o so_o it_o appear_v that_o our_o whole_a liturgy_n with_o great_a judgement_n and_o reasonable_a moderation_n be_v purposely_o so_o frame_v out_o of_o the_o

ground_n of_o religion_n wherein_o both_o side_n do_v agree_v that_o the_o papist_n himself_o may_v resort_v unto_o it_o without_o any_o scruple_n or_o scandal_n if_o faction_n more_o than_o reason_n do_v not_o prevail_v a_o three_o difference_n between_o our_o forefather_n and_o our_o romish_a recusant_n be_v this_o our_o forefather_n never_o for_o their_o part_n ever_o understand_v the_o

forefather_n that_o be_v these_o fundamental_a point_n of_o popish_a religion_n viz_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v god_n vicegerent_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o superior_a to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n that_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o crown_n that_o the_o pope_n may_v absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o he_o that_o at_o the_o pope_n commandment_n the_o people_n be_v to_o take_v arm_n against_o he_o that_o it_o be_v both_o lawful_a and_o meritorious_a before_o

example_n as_o i_o find_v it_o record_v in_o the_o woeful_a war_n with_o the_o baron_n when_o king_n john_n be_v view_v of_o the_o castle_n of_o roche_v hold_v against_o he_o by_o the_o earl_n of_o

of_o his_o liege_n lady_n and_o mistress_n as_o to_o a_o honourable_a and_o holy_a exploit_n the_o last_o difference_n and_o odds_n which_o i_o observe_v between_o our_o forefather_n &_o our_o romish_a recusant_n be_v this_o that_o they_o as_o they_o be_v general_o forward_a and_o very_o zealous_a in_o that_o religion_n which_o they_o profess_v so_o be_v they_o as_o careful_a to_o seek_v

night_n in_o read_v and_o hear_v not_o care_v for_o any_o expense_n or_o charge_n so_o they_o may_v attain_v to_o come_v by_o such_o book_n in_o english_a as_o they_o descry_v they_o will_v not_o
