have_v labour_v to_o prove_v and_o maintain_v for_o truth_n four_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o receive_v a_o confutation_n in_o any_o thing_n wherein_o you_o can_v with_o either_o scripture_n or_o reason_n confute_v i_o provide_v that_o you_o do_v not_o argue_v against_o scripture_n where_o a_o babe_n may_v not_o only_o read_v but_o as_o easy_o conclude_v what_o be_v truth_n six_o perhaps_o my_o

for_o the_o learned_a i_o hope_v there_o be_v not_o many_o of_o they_o that_o do_v much_o miscarry_v in_o these_o thing_n nor_o will_v dissent_v from_o the_o substantial_n in_o they_o eight_o if_o i_o

the_o wolf_n do_v watch_v to_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o chief_o therefore_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o secure_v they_o and_o then_o i_o pass_v very_o little_a to_o meet_v with_o both_o fox_n wolf_n and_o all_o the_o frog_n of_o rome_n and_o so_o much_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v conclude_v upon_o when_o you_o see_v their_o skin_n so_o pull_v about_o their_o ear_n as_o in_o this_o book_n they_o lie_v if_o a_o course_n be_v but_o timely_o take_v with_o they_o they_o will_v rather_o be_v go_v from_o we_o then_o stay_v to_o be_v so_o mangle_v as_o here_o they_o be_v nine_o i_o entreat_v you_o

express_v at_o large_a by_o the_o author_n but_o the_o place_n name_v by_o figure_n only_o there_o take_v good_a heed_n lest_o you_o too_o soon_o make_v a_o conclusion_n of_o a_o suppose_v truth_n before_o you_o look_v in_o the_o text_n itself_o for_o many_o writer_n do_v not_o rehearse_v the_o sentence_n itself_o but_o name_v the_o place_n and_o so_o go_v on_o in_o argument_n with_o it_o and_o many_o time_n the_o reader_n make_v a_o conclusion_n as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n do_v conceive_v to_o be_v the_o truth_n although_o it_o be_v many_o time_n false_a therefore_o it_o be_v

the_o pope_n order_n and_o receive_v their_o own_o ordination_n from_o he_o it_o be_v first_o and_o primary_o receive_v of_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v the_o maintainer_n of_o idolatry_n from_o who_o they_o have_v their_o ordination_n they_o can_v be_v the_o lawful_a preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v the_o ordainer_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o objection_n be_v like_o a_o remora_n who_o turn_v his_o belly_n upward_o as_o be_v say_v open_v his_o leg_n or_o some_o such_o part_n of_o his_o body_n and_o clasp_v about_o

first_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o if_o in_o case_n they_o have_v their_o ordination_n from_o the_o pope_n the_o pope_n at_o first_o be_v absolute_o a_o idolater_n but_o that_o he_o then_o hold_v

a_o truth_n to_o you_o i_o pray_v you_o take_v a_o view_n of_o a_o book_n call_v the_o apology_n of_o the_o protestant_n write_v about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o massacre_n in_o france_n dedicate_v

until_o that_o time_n and_o there_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o those_o canon_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o former_a pope_n be_v so_o much_o different_a from_o those_o that_o have_v be_v make_v since_o as_o that_o if_o he_o will_v hold_v himself_o to_o those_o first_o canon_n of_o those_o first_o pope_n he_o must_v then_o renounce_v his_o antichristianity_n and_o idolatry_n and_o so_o join_v
