covetousness_n without_o any_o ground_n in_o the_o scripture_n i_o find_v in_o those_o question_n several_a difficulty_n i_o come_v to_o propound_v they_o to_o my_o master_n there_o be_v say_v he_o what_o bellarmin_n answer_v there_o be_v for_o this_o matter_n the_o exposition_n of_o cardinal_n du_fw-fr perron_n there_o be_v what_o bonaventure_n what_o thomas_n aquinas_n what_o scotus_n what_o

he_o answer_v i_o almost_o to_o every_o one_o of_o those_o question_n to_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n say_v he_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n of_o indulgence_n of_o worship_v image_n and_o relic_n the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v not_o find_v all_o these_o doctrine_n very_o evident_a in_o the_o scripture_n i_o do_v not_o see_v neither_o how_o they_o can_v be_v draw_v very_o direct_o out_o of_o those_o place_n of_o the_o bible_n the_o author_n of_o rome_n be_v wont_a to_o produce_v to_o prove_v they_o by_o i_o give_v they_o you_o say_v he_o only_o to_o allege_v to_o those_o who_o will_v have_v a_o place_n of_o the_o bible_n he_o bring_v forth_o in_o every_o matter_n to_o have_v some_o pretence_n to_o say_v seasonable_o or_o unreasonable_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o that_o matter_n and_o to_o content_v the_o heretic_n but_o to_o speak_v plain_o i_o do_v sincere_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n which_o oblige_v or_o persuade_v i_o to_o believe_v all_o those_o article_n but_o the_o true_a and_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o i_o do_v hold_v they_o be_v because_o the_o church_n teach_v they_o so_o there_o be_v say_v i_o in_o

brain_n to_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n with_o great_a pain_n of_o false_a discourse_n what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v never_o intention_n to_o teach_v therein_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v then_o free_o that_o all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n nor_o ground_v upon_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n after_o that_o all_o these_o difficulty_n may_v be_v very_o easy_o resolve_v all_o the_o business_n will_v be_v but_o to_o know_v whether_o or_o no_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o believe_v as_o a_o
