scribbler_n have_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o observe_v though_o they_o can_v not_o but_o see_v it_o for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o page_n with_o the_o other_o upon_o this_o some_o have_v hasty_o inser_v that_o because_o cranmer_n name_n be_v at_o leightoun_n paper_n therefore_o he_o retract_v his_o own_o paper_n and_o subscribe_v to_o his_o opinion_n i_o have_v by_o other_o clear_a and_o unexceptionable_a evidence_n prove_v that_o cranmer_n do_v indeed_o change_v his_o opinion_n in_o those_o tender_a point_n but_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o contradiction_n in_o some_o people_n they_o will_v not_o accept_v of_o this_o but_o will_v lay_v hold_n of_o this_o slight_a colour_n of_o his_o sign_v leighton_n paper_n on_o which_o i_o lay_v no_o weight_n and_o therefore_o though_o i_o print_v the_o paper_n to_o a_o tittle_n as_o i_o find_v they_o in_o the_o manuscript_n yet_o i_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o this_o in_o my_o history_n so_o howsoever_o i_o may_v be_v accuse_v for_o pass_v it_o over_o in_o my_o discourse_n concern_v it_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o accuse_v i_o for_o unfaithfulness_n in_o my_o collection_n but_o that_o part_n of_o my_o book_n gall_v some_o people_n as_o giving_z a_o credit_n to_o the_o whole_a history_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v accuse_v my_o fidelity_n in_o that_o upon_o which_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o book_n be_v found_v otherwise_o there_o be_v no_o considerable_a service_n do_v and_o it_o will_v give_v a_o specious_a colour_n beyond-sea_n to_o disparage_v that_o work_n to_o say_v that_o divine_n of_o or_o rather_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v detect_v my_o unfaithfulness_n in_o publish_v the_o record_n for_o that_o strike_v at_o all_o so_o a_o man_n that_o be_v resolve_v to_o have_v a_o coach_n and_o six_o horse_n at_o any_o rate_n at_o last_o find_v out_o a_o journeyman_n to_o do_v this_o piece_n of_o work_n for_o he_o and_o he_o have_v very_o probable_o enter_v it_o into_o the_o particular_a of_o his_o merit_n cranmer_n subscribe_v these_o paper_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v his_o assent_n to_o all_o the_o opinion_n contain_v in_o they_o for_o they_o differ_v in_o several_a particular_n from_o one_o another_o and_o he_o can_v not_o subscribe_v contradiction_n and_o though_o he_o have_v assent_v to_o their_o opinion_n it_o do_v not_o clear_v he_o of_o that_o for_o which_o the_o presbyterian_o or_o the_o erastians_n may_v vouch_v he_o for_o in_o the_o main_a point_n that_o relate_v to_o presbytery_n concern_v bishop_n and_o priest_n be_v at_o first_o the_o same_o office_n which_o cranmer_n have_v assert_v leightoun_n say_v nothing_o to_o it_o see_v collect._n p._n 225._o so_o cranmer_n retract_v nothing_o upon_o this_o head_n and_o robertson_n think_v that_o where_o a_o bishop_n can_v be_v have_v a_o priest_n may_v consecrate_v a_o bishop_n which_o be_v also_o a_o main_a point_n he_o likewise_o think_v that_o a_o churchman_n ought_v not_o to_o use_v or_o exercise_v his_o function_n without_o the_o consent_n or_o permission_n of_o the_o magistrate_n which_o be_v all_o that_o most_o erastians_n plead_v for_o so_o if_o this_o subscription_n be_v a_o good_a argument_n cranmer_n be_v they_o still_o and_o both_o robertson_n and_o leightoun_n think_v that_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n prince_n may_v make_v both_o bishop_n and_o priest_n and_o i_o know_v few_o erastians_n that_o plead_v for_o more_o thus_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o suppose_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o cranmer_n have_v by_o sign_v these_o paper_n subscribe_v to_o the_o opinion_n contain_v in_o they_o he_o may_v still_o be_v cite_v both_o by_o presbyterian_o and_o erastians_n so_o that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o other_o evidence_n that_o i_o give_v of_o his_o change_v his_o mind_n which_o no_o person_n have_v ever_o observe_v before_o i_o he_o may_v still_o be_v cite_v by_o they_o notwithstanding_o these_o subscription_n all_o that_o i_o can_v make_v of_o the_o subseription_n be_v that_o he_o may_v according_o to_o a_o rule_n that_o some_o minister_n of_o state_n have_v observe_v set_v his_o hand_n to_o those_o paper_n as_o a_o mark_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v alter_v and_o as_o to_o leightoun_n paper_n there_o may_v be_v this_o particular_a reason_n for_o it_o that_o leightoun_v not_o be_v in_o the_o commission_n of_o which_o i_o take_v notice_n in_o my_o history_n p._n 289._o cranmer_z who_o it_o seem_v order_v he_o to_o write_v answer_n to_o those_o query_n may_v have_v set_v his_o hand_n to_o his_o paper_n as_o a_o warrant_n to_o he_o for_o have_v write_v they_o i_o confess_v these_o be_v but_o conjecture_n but_o to_o guess_v somewhat_o probable_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v do_v at_o this_o distance_n i_o have_v now_o open_v this_o matter_n so_o particular_o that_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v satisfy_v the_o desire_n of_o those_o who_o complain_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v leave_v too_o much_o in_o the_o dark_a as_o for_o the_o method_n in_o which_o i_o publish_v they_o i_o can_v make_v a_o short_a defence_n for_o it_o since_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o a_o very_a eminent_a person_n take_v the_o direction_n of_o that_o whole_a work_n into_o his_o particular_a care_n but_o since_o i_o be_o not_o so_o near_o he_o as_o to_o obtain_v his_o leave_n for_o name_v he_o and_o that_o i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o without_o his_o leave_n i_o shall_v tell_v the_o reason_n that_o be_v suggest_v for_o follow_v the_o method_n in_o which_o i_o have_v publish_v they_o the_o method_n in_o which_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o manuscript_n be_v this_o first_o the_o query_n be_v set_v down_o than_o every_o man_n paper_n come_v first_o archbishop_n cranmer_n than_o the_o archbishop_n of_o york_n and_o so_o forward_o according_a to_o the_o order_n in_o which_o they_o be_v under_o every_o query_n all_o these_o paper_n be_v sign_v at_o the_o end_n of_o they_o except_o the_o bishop_n of_o rochester_n but_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sign_v for_o all_o and_o there_o be_v no_o special_a subscription_n to_o any_o particular_a article_n as_o some_o have_v fancy_v so_o that_o the_o subscription_n to_o the_o last_o article_n belong_v to_o the_o whole_a paper_n and_o to_o every_o article_n in_o it_o after_o these_o come_v two_o paper_n the_o one_o in_o latin_a and_o the_o other_o in_o english_a in_o which_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n of_o they_o all_o be_v mark_v cranmer_n only_o except_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v these_o be_v for_o his_o private_a use_n now_o since_o every_o paper_n relate_v to_o the_o query_n without_o repeat_v they_o the_o query_n must_v either_o have_v be_v repeat_v to_o every_o paper_n or_o the_o reader_n must_v have_v be_v always_o turn_v leave_n to_o find_v they_o out_o and_o if_o any_o man_n have_v the_o curiosity_n to_o examine_v their_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n he_o can_v find_v it_o out_o much_o ready_a in_o the_o way_n in_o which_o they_o be_v put_v than_o if_o i_o have_v follow_v the_o method_n in_o which_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o manuscript_n and_o these_o paper_n in_o which_o they_o be_v already_o compare_v come_v in_o more_o natural_o at_o the_o end_n of_o every_o query_n and_o can_v be_v more_o easy_o examine_v when_o one_o have_v under_o his_o eye_n at_o one_o view_v all_o their_o opinion_n than_o if_o they_o have_v come_v in_o at_o the_o end_n of_o all_o after_o all_o the_o paper_n have_v be_v set_v down_o so_o that_o this_o method_n very_o well_o become_v the_o exactness_n and_o the_o true_a judgement_n of_o he_o that_o advise_v it_o on_o the_o margin_n every_o man_n name_n be_v set_v over_o against_o every_o article_n of_o his_o paper_n so_o that_o if_o one_o will_v read_v a_o whole_a paper_n in_o a_o entire_a thread_n as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o original_a he_o have_v a_o easy_a work_n and_o be_v only_o to_o seek_v canterbury_n york_z or_o any_o other_o all_o through_o the_o 17_o query_n and_o he_o find_v it_o without_o any_o confusion_n or_o difficulty_n and_o now_o what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v to_o all_o this_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n here_o leave_v out_o or_o mangle_a or_o disguise_v or_o any_o thing_n else_o do_v sufficiant_fw-la to_o justify_v a_o small_a part_n of_o the_o clamour_n that_o be_v raise_v the_o reflection_n make_v in_o this_o last_o letter_n on_o the_o dean_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v too_o

mislead_v he_o though_o these_o gentleman_n friend_n know_v to_o their_o cost_n that_o he_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o mistake_v in_o his_o quotation_n but_o he_o who_o write_v his_o book_n almost_o twenty_o year_n before_o i_o and_o have_v the_o

be_v mere_a fool_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o dean_n see_v well_o enough_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o this_o matter_n that_o deserve_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o his_o argument_n
