silence_n of_o the_o historian_n who_o live_v in_o near_o or_o since_o that_o time_n down_o to_o nicephorus_n who_o be_v the_o first_o and_o only_a author_n according_a to_o he_o that_o broach_v that_o fable_n about_o juvenal_n and_o marcian_n the_o emperor_n i_o have_v one_o argument_n to_o urge_v against_o your_o juvenal_n and_o that_o be_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o can_v show_v any_o such_o ancient_a tradition_n for_o the_o assumption_n since_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o church_n before_o he_o never_o mention_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o which_o be_v more_o since_o this_o very_a doctrine_n about_o assumption_n be_v condemn_v in_o the_o same_o century_n in_o a_o council_n at_o rome_n by_o gelasius_n pope_n with_o 70_o other_o bishop_n what_o i_o

this_o book_n under_o st._n melito_n name_n be_v before_o st._n austine_n time_n the_o first_o news_n we_o hear_v of_o it_o be_v not_o till_o above_o 60_o year_n after_o st._n austine_n time_n and_o the_o same_o time_n that_o we_o hear_v of_o the_o book_n we_o hear_v of_o its_o be_v condemn_v as_o a_o apocryphal_a thing_n yet_o i_o will_v grant_v to_o you_o what_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o book_n be_v old_a will_v any_o man_n of_o tolerable_a sense_n argue_v from_o this_o book_n a_o general_n pious_a belief_n of_o the_o assumption_n in_o st._n austine_n time_n when_o this_o very_a book_n that_o teach_v it_o be_v condemn_v as_o apocryphal_a at_o rome_n in_o the_o same_o century_n cossar_n i_o can_v but_o stay_v here_o to_o wonder_v a_o little_a at_o your_o say_n there_o that_o if_o this_o sermon_n be_v not_o s._n melito_n genuine_a work_n it_o must_v be_v of_o some_o other_o author_n nigh_o those_o time_n i_o can_v be_v no_o long_o angry_a that_o you_o shall_v stand_v up_o so_o obstinate_o for_o the_o 35_o the_o sermon_n de_fw-fr sanctis_fw-la when_o i_o find_v you_o at_o most_o but_o dubious_a whether_o that_o book_n for_o so_o i_o will_v call_v it_o under_o melito_n

how_o it_o be_v condemn_v by_o a_o pope_n in_o council_n as_o apocryphal_a twelve_o hundred_o year_n ago_o not_o long_o after_o that_o our_o venerable_a bede_n fall_v most_o severe_o upon_o it_o and_o

say_v above_o it_o be_v 1624._o certain_a that_o this_o book_n be_v false_o ascribe_v to_o s._n melito_n that_o it_o be_v apocryphal_a and_o of_o no_o authority_n and_o to_o be_v altogether_o reject_v for_o its_o mixture_n of_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n he_o than_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o spanish_a index_n expurgatorius_fw-la have_v order_v the_o whole_a of_o the_o book_n from_o the_o 8_o the_o

i_o be_o sure_a will_v not_o add_v any_o lustre_n to_o one_o who_o write_v himself_o of_o the_o society_n of_o jesus_n but_o will_v satisfy_v the_o world_n what_o sort_n of_o a_o adversary_n i_o

this_o be_v the_o exception_n upon_o this_o you_o charge_v i_o with_o infer_v that_o if_o assumption_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v the_o death_n of_o a_o saint_n therefore_o here_o it_o may_v signify_v the_o corporal_a assumption_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n therefore_o it_o do_v i_o own_o that_o this_o last_o therefore_o it_o do_v be_v not_o only_o a_o false_a but_o a_o silly_a inference_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o i_o i_o only_o say_v why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v the_o exception_n i_o appeal_v to_o my_o word_n just_o put_v down_o and_o to_o all_o scholar_n whether_o this_o be_v ingenuous_a deal_n so_o that_o your_o second_o charge_n be_v fall_v but_o before_o you_o pass_v to_o your_o three_o great_a charge_n you_o accuse_v i_o of_o a_o wilful_a mistake_n in_o make_v you_o say_v that_o in_o the_o ancient_a write_n feast_n or_o day_n of_o assumption_n when_o apply_v to_o saint_n do_v only_o almost_o always_o signify_v the_o day_n of_o their_o

must_v confess_v sir_n that_o i_o think_v i_o have_v to_o do_v with_o one_o who_o will_v admit_v of_o his_o own_o word_n and_o not_o charge_v they_o upon_o his_o adversary_n as_o if_o they_o be_v he_o with_o one_o that_o understand_v english_a but_o i_o must_v now_o take_v my_o lot_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v your_o next_o charge_n be_v of_o a_o cheat_n in_o endeavour_v to_o insinuate_v that_o the_o 35th_o sermon_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o virgin_n be_v death_n but_o of_o her_o assumption_n in_o the_o vulgar_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n but_o wherein_o be_v the_o cheat_n i_o put_v down_o there_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o sermon_n well_o but_o say_v you_o assumption_n here_o do_v only_o signify_v her_o death_n and_o you_o quote_v a_o passage_n of_o the_o sermon_n for_o it_o which_o be_v very_o accurate_o church_n translate_v i_o be_o not_o thorough_o satisfy_v of_o this_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o as_o i_o be_v before_o i_o see_v your_o letter_n satisfy_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o necessity_n of_o take_v assumption_n here_o in_o the_o vulgar_a sense_n so_o i_o be_v full_o assure_v that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o sermon_n have_v determine_v for_o neither_o sense_n but_o have_v leave_v it_o doubtful_a whether_o she_o be_v assume_v corporal_o or_o no_o sanctis_fw-la you_o next_o take_v i_o to_o task_n about_o the_o mistake_v you_o make_v in_o
