reform_a church_n as_o well_o as_o of_o popery_n what_o difference_n then_o betwixt_o we_o and_o popery_n or_o why_o be_v we_o call_v a_o reformation_n of_o popery_n or_o why_o do_v we_o separat_fw-la from_o they_o isaac_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o our_o difference_n from_o popery_n be_v not_o because_o we_o must_v deny_v what_o they_o believe_v for_o we_o believe_v as_o well_o as_o they_o the_o unity_n and_o trinity_n of_o god_n the_o jncarnation_n of_o his_o son_n etc._n etc._n but_o in_o this_o that_o the_o papist_n believe_v because_o the_o pope_n and_o church_n say_v this_o be_v true_a reveal_v doctrine_n but_o we_o believe_v not_o because_o any_o church_n pope_n or_o doctor_n say_v so_o but_o because_o we_o ourselves_o judge_v by_o scripture_n it_o be_v so_o for_o if_o a_o papist_n do_v say_v i_o do_v not_o believe_v this_o be_v a_o reveal_v truth_n because_o the_o pope_n and_o church_n say_v it_o be_v but_o because_o i_o find_v by_o scripture_n it_o be_v he_o will_v be_v no_o papist_n believe_v then_o whatever_o doctrine_n you_o will_v either_o popery_n judaism_n protestancy_n arianism_n or_o what_o else_o you_o please_v provide_v you_o judge_v by_o scripture_n it_o be_v true_a and_o that_o you_o believe_v it_o not_o because_o this_o or_o that_o church_n congregation_n or_o drs_n believe_v it_o but_o because_o yourself_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v true_a you_o will_v be_v a_o true_a child_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v call_v a_o reformation_n and_o why_o we_o separate_v from_o they_o because_o they_o will_v have_v we_o take_v for_o our_o rule_n of_o faith_n scripture_n as_o interpret_v by_o they_o and_o believe_v not_o what_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o scripture_n but_o what_o they_o judge_v and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o reason_n why_o ptesbyterians_n be_v jealous_a with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n why_o anabaptist_n forsake_v presbyterian_o why_o these_o be_v forsake_v by_o quaker_n because_o each_o one_o will_v have_v the_o world_n judge_v as_o they_o do_v and_o persecute_v and_o trouble_v one_o another_o which_o be_v quite_o against_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o reformation_n for_o where_o as_o our_o rule_n of_o faith_n be_v no_o church_n congregation_n or_o man_n but_o scripture_n as_o each_o one_o understand_v it_o it_o follow_v that_o by_o our_o principle_n every_o one_o must_v be_v permit_v to_o believe_v whatever_o he_o please_v and_o by_o so_o do_v he_o will_v be_v a_o true_a child_n of_o the_o reformation_n ishmael_n the_o church_n of_o england_n nor_o any_o of_o our_o congregation_n will_v never_o believe_v any_o of_o those_o popish_a tenet_n isaac_n the_o time_n may_v come_v that_o they_o may_v believe_v they_o all_o and_o be_v still_o as_o good_a reformeds_n as_o now_o they_o be_v for_o if_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o church_n shall_v to_o morrow_n deny_v and_o excommunicate_a those_o tenet_n which_o now_o they_o so_o steadfast_o believe_v and_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v some_o day_n than_o it_o will_v be_v a_o pious_a and_o virtuous_a action_n in_o all_o reform_a child_n to_o believe_v they_o all_o as_o much_o as_o now_o they_o deny_v they_o and_o let_v we_o pretend_v what_o other_o reason_n we_o please_v but_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o the_o strong_a reason_n we_o can_v have_v to_o deny_v those_o article_n be_v because_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o church_n believe_v they_o and_o consequent_o if_o the_o popish_a church_n will_v but_o deny_v they_o we_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o believe_v they_o you_o will_v think_v this_o a_o paradox_n but_o listen_v to_o our_o apostolical_a and_o divin_n luther_n 214._o if_o a_o general_a council_n say_v he_o do_v permit_v priest_n to_o marry_v it_o will_v be_v a_o singular_a mark_n of_o piety_n and_o sign_n of_o godliness_n in_o that_o case_n to_o take_v concubine_n rather_o than_o to_o marry_v in_o conformity_n to_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o council_n i_o will_v in_o that_o case_n command_v priest_n not_o to_o marry_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n and_o again_o say_v he_o germ._n if_o the_o council_n shall_v decree_v communion_n in_o both_o

hardingum_n and_o see_v it_o be_v not_o only_a my_o doctrine_n but_o of_o great_a luther_n that_o in_o case_n the_o pope_n and_o council_n deny_v all_o the_o tenet_n they_o now_o believe_v we_o may_v and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o pious_a godly_a action_n to_o believe_v they_o and_o make_v as_o many_o act_n of_o parliament_n for_o they_o as_o now_o we_o have_v against_o they_o but_o what_o be_v the_o

of_o the_o reformation_n do_v he_o forsake_v the_o reformation_n because_o he_o forsake_v lutheranism_n for_o calvinism_n no_o sure_o for_o calvinism_n be_v as_o much_o of_o the_o reformation_n as_o
