out_o of_o which_o it_o can_v ordinary_o be_v have_v and_o i_o have_v hear_v more_o to_o prove_v you_o to_o be_v this_o false_a church_n than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o answer_v or_o you_o either_o as_o i_o suppose_v therefore_o this_o be_v only_o a_o general_a and_o so_o a_o unconcluding_a argument_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o come_v close_o to_o the_o point_n pop._n then_o i_o entreat_v you_o to_o

our_o church_n unanimous_o declare_v that_o you_o be_v damn_v if_o you_o live_v and_o die_v in_o your_o religion_n prot._n you_o call_v we_o schismatic_n but_o by_o this_o argument_n you_o prove_v

that_o idolatry_n be_v a_o damnable_a sin_n your_o own_o author_n grant_v and_o scripture_n express_o affirm_v idolater_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 9_o 10._o

the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o protestant_a church_n and_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o before_o you_o and_o i_o have_v do_v second_o that_o the_o worshipper_n of_o the_o babylonish_n

it_o be_v high_o dangerous_a to_o break_v any_o of_o god_n command_n and_o to_o teach_v man_n so_o and_o to_o make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o humane_a tradition_n we_o know_v what_o woe_n christ_n pronounce_v against_o the_o pharisee_n for_o these_o thing_n and_o this_o your_o church_n be_v deep_o guilty_a of_o as_o in_o many_o other_o particular_n so_o most_o eminent_o in_o this_o that_o you_o profess_v no_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v the_o scripture_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o to_o believe_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o but_o for_o the_o testimony_n

that_o do_v not_o submit_v themselves_o to_o your_o church_n and_o pope_n however_o they_o may_v terrify_v silly_a people_n yet_o take_v it_o from_o i_o to_o prudent_a man_n it_o be_v rather_o a_o

of_o any_o of_o note_n and_o name_n in_o our_o church_n prot._n yes_o out_o of_o your_o prime_a author_n i_o read_v that_o cardinal_n hosius_n in_o his_o advertisement_n to_o king_n sigismond_n have_v

a_o cardinal_n to_o read_v the_o bible_n he_o will_v have_v find_v the_o word_n also_o in_o christ_n mouth_n i_o read_v that_o costerus_n call_v the_o scripture_n by_o way_n of_o contempt_n paper_n

have_v no_o authority_n but_o for_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n 92._o he_o mean_v the_o roman_a church_n i_o see_v we_o be_v high_o concern_v to_o please_v your_o church_n else_o we_o be_v like_a to_o have_v no_o scripture_n i_o read_v that_o pighius_fw-la say_v the_o apostle_n do_v never_o intend_v to_o subject_v our_o faith_n to_o their_o write_n but_o rather_o their_o write_n to_o

to_o she_o she_o beget_v no_o wonder_n then_o the_o church_n make_v bold_a with_o the_o scripture_n to_o add_v or_o alter_v or_o dispense_v with_o it_o we_o all_o know_v the_o mother_n may_v correct_v the_o daughter_n i_o confess_v when_o i_o read_v those_o passage_n produce_v by_o our_o writer_n i_o suspect_v they_o wrong_v they_o be_v these_o thing_n true_a pop._n i_o acknowledge_v it_o and_o

and_o i_o conclude_v this_o to_o be_v one_o accomplishment_n of_o what_o christ_n have_v say_v every_o one_o that_o do_v evil_a hate_v the_o light_n neither_o come_v to_o the_o light_n lest_o his_o
