angel_n be_v ignorant_a it_o of_o and_o that_o none_o know_v it_o mar._n 13._o v._n 32.4_o if_o any_o man_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n can_v give_v they_o this_o virtue_n or_o power_n we_o answer_v that_o here_o the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o god_n can_v do_v but_o what_o god_n will_v do_v and_o require_v our_o adversary_n to_o make_v proof_n of_o his_o will_n herein_o 5._o we_o also_o know_v that_o god_n will_v not_o have_v the_o saint_n to_o be_v god_n or_o equal_a with_o god_n as_o they_o shall_v be_v if_o they_o have_v a_o infinite_a knowledge_n and_o if_o in_o see_v god_n they_o shall_v know_v all_o that_o god_n know_v 6._o furthermore_o the_o thing_n which_o do_v most_o especial_o distinguish_v the_o creator_n from_o the_o most_o excellent_a creature_n be_v this_o that_o god_n both_o know_v and_o work_v infinite_a thing_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o moment_n but_o the_o continuance_n and_o action_n of_o creature_n be_v successive_a and_o the_o one_o be_v do_v after_o the_o other_o therefore_o the_o saint_n neither_o know_v nor_o can_v conceive_v infinite_a thing_n in_o one_o instant_a 7._o this_o demand_n do_v also_o make_v a_o false_a report_n of_o our_o belief_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o saint_n either_o can_v or_o can_v hear_v our_o prayer_n but_o only_o that_o they_o do_v not_o hear_v they_o x._o demand_n that_o priest_n and_o monk_n may_v break_v the_o vow_n of_o obedience_n povertie_n and_o chastity_n that_o they_o have_v make_v to_o god_n answer_n the_o inquisitor_n will_v persuade_v we_o that_o we_o believe_v this_o albeit_o we_o believe_v the_o contrary_a for_o we_o do_v hold_v that_o priest_n ought_v to_o observe_v the_o vow_n that_o they_o have_v make_v to_o obey_v god_n and_o we_o complain_v that_o they_o have_v vow_v obedience_n to_o god_n do_v obey_v the_o pope_n more_o than_o god_n we_o also_o hold_v that_o priest_n ought_v to_o keep_v chastity_n but_o if_o a_o priest_n burn_v with_o incontinency_n have_v make_v a_o vow_n that_o he_o will_v never_o marry_v such_o a_o vow_n as_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o vow_n of_o chastity_n and_o to_o the_o vow_n of_o obey_v god_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o 1_o cor._n 7._o vers_fw-la 9_o if_o they_o can_v contain_v let_v they_o marry_v for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v whosoever_o make_v a_o vow_n to_o obey_v god_n he_o make_v a_o vow_n to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n yea_o have_v he_o make_v no_o vow_n yet_o be_v he_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o as_o for_o the_o vow_n of_o poverty_n we_o understand_v not_o how_o this_o word_n be_v mean_v for_o the_o word_n have_v at_o this_o day_n alter_v their_o signification_n consider_v that_o we_o find_v none_o so_o well_o feed_v or_o live_v so_o much_o at_o ease_n or_o gather_v more_o penny_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o pardon_n than_o those_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o poverty_n the_o poverty_n of_o the_o jesuit_n be_v more_o abundant_a than_o the_o riches_n of_o other_o povertie_n which_o in_o time_n pass_v be_v a_o affliction_n be_v now_o a_o profession_n in_o like_a manner_n ignorance_n which_o in_o other_o be_v a_o vice_n be_v in_o the_o ignorant_a friar_n a_o virtue_n wherefore_o these_o our_o master_n must_v have_v a_o new_a calepine_n xi_o demand_v that_o the_o state_n of_o marriage_n be_v more_o please_v to_o god_n then_o single_a life_n answer_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a slander_n for_o contrariwise_o we_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o a_o chaste_a and_o continent_n single_a life_n have_v advantage_n above_o marriage_n only_o we_o say_v that_o the_o chaste_a marriage_n be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n then_o incontinent_a and_o whorish_a single_a life_n we_o refer_v man_n to_o rome_n and_o to_o the_o cloister_n both_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n impediantur_fw-la there_o to_o behold_v the_o fruit_n of_o romish_a single_a life_n for_o we_o who_o observe_v the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o can_v in_o any_o wise_a approve_v the_o cause_n of_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o deny_v that_o at_o rome_n the_o most_o holy_a father_n suffer_v public_a stew_n for_o excuse_v say_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o permit_v a_o less_o evil_a to_o hinder_v a_o great_a and_o do_v show_v that_o god_n may_v just_o suffer_v sin_n in_o the_o world_n by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o magistrate_n who_o do_v grant_v harlot_n a_o certain_a part_n or_o quarter_n of_o the_o city_n to_o dwell_v in_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o find_v a_o more_o honest_a comparison_n for_o to_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n than_o the_o example_n of_o magistrate_n establish_v the_o stew_n xii_o demand_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o macchabee_n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la of_o wisdom_n of_o toby_n and_o of_o baruch_n be_v apocryphal_a answer_n after_o ten_o slanderous_a demand_n he_o have_v bethink_v himself_o to_o propound_v one_o that_o be_v not_o so_o for_o indeed_o such_o be_v our_o belief_n ground_v first_o upon_o this_o principle_n of_o s._n paul_n rom._n 3._o that_o god_n be_v true_a whereof_o it_o do_v follow_v that_o the_o scripture_n divine_o inspire_v aught_o to_o be_v free_a from_o untruth_n but_o in_o these_o book_n we_o find_v many_o untruth_n which_o our_o adversary_n can_v never_o yet_o excuse_v and_o whereof_o there_o be_v sundry_a book_n write_v express_o 2._o again_o these_o book_n be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o original_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v the_o hebrew_n bible_n 3._o also_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n who_o upon_o all_o occasion_n do_v allege_v the_o passage_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v never_o name_v any_o of_o these_o book_n or_o out_o of_o they_o cite_v any_o one_o passage_n 4._o particular_o the_o author_n of_o the_o macchabee_n in_o his_o second_o

soon_o after_o he_o excuse_v the_o baseness_n of_o his_o stile_n all_o which_o be_v far_o from_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n who_o give_v eloquence_n enough_o to_o those_o who_o

the_o soul_n of_o the_o father_n that_o attend_v his_o come_n or_o at_o the_o least_o that_o before_o the_o ascension_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n not_o into_o any_o limbus_n or_o any_o other_o three_o place_n answer_n we_o find_v this_o evident_o in_o the_o scripture_n for_o we_o find_v that_o the_o thief_n die_v forty_o three_o day_n before_o the_o ascension_n of_o jesus_n christ_n also_o that_o upon_o the_o day_n of_o his_o death_n jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o he_o this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n 63._o for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o subtle_a as_o by_o this_o word_n paradise_n to_o understand_v hell_n or_o limbus_n as_o our_o adversary_n do_v principal_o consider_v that_o s._n paul_n 2_o cor._n 12._o have_v say_v in_o the_o second_o verse_n that_o he_o be_v ravish_v into_o the_o three_o heaven_n do_v soon_o after_o call_v this_o three_o heaven_n paradise_n 2._o hereunto_o how_o moses_n and_o

be_v of_o power_n sufficient_a to_o deliver_v the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n out_o of_o hell_n why_o not_o out_o of_o limbus_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a prison_n 4._o if_o jesus_n christ_n his_o rise_n draw_v these_o soul_n out_o of_o limbus_n yet_o bring_v they_o not_o into_o heaven_n before_o his_o ascension_n what_o become_v of_o they_o all_o the_o forty_o day_n between_o 5._o final_o this_o so_o bold_a a_o fiction_n and_o hide_a den_n of_o soul_n which_o be_v now_o say_v to_o be_v unprofitable_a can_v we_o admit_v because_o we_o find_v no_o proof_n thereof_o
