to_o prove_v that_o our_o religion_n stand_v not_o all_o upon_o negative_n but_o chief_o upon_o affirmative_n it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o declare_v that_o we_o believe_v and_o affirm_v all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o what_o soever_o be_v affirm_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o truth_n like_a as_o we_o deny_v all_o falsehood_n and_o untruth_n we_o believe_v and_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_o we_o affirm_v that_o in_o this_o godheade_n there_o be_v three_o person_n distinct_a but_o not_o divide_v we_o affirm_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n and_o so_o forth_o as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o crede_fw-la by_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o our_o religion_n stand_v not_o all_o in_o negative_n the_o papist_n saint_n augustine_n do_v define_v religion_n to_o be_v cultus_fw-la divinus_fw-la a_o divine_a service_n dew_n unto_o god_n whereby_o as_o isidore_n say_v we_o do_v bind_v ourselves_o to_o the_o worship_a of_o god_n with_o a_o full_a purpose_n and_o intent_n to_o serve_v god_n true_a religion_n be_v in_o this_o wise_a put_v in_o a_o dew_n worship_n and_o service_n to_o be_v do_v unto_o god_o the_o late_a begin_v religion_n of_o this_o reform_a church_n can_v not_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n of_o god_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o any_o action_n or_o service_n more_o now_o unto_o god_n then_o be_v before_o but_o only_o this_o religion_n stand_v as_o i_o suppose_v by_o negative_n by_o a_o overthrow_n and_o subversion_n make_v of_o all_o thing_n before_o appoint_v for_o the_o government_n of_o his_o people_n both_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o new_a some_o precept_n which_o be_v

whole_o by_o negative_n do_v deny_v the_o answer_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v in_o argument_n with_o you_o whether_o this_o be_v a_o full_a definition_n of_o religion_n which_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o saint_n augustine_n it_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o a_o definition_n of_o religion_n which_o may_v be_v true_o say_v of_o religion_n but_o what_o shall_v move_v you_o to_o think_v that_o our_o religion_n teach_v not_o man_n to_o worship_n god_n when_o we_o only_o teach_v the_o right_a kind_n of_o god_n service_n set_v forth_o in_o his_o word_n whereas_o you_o and_o all_o other_o heretic_n worship_n god_n after_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n which_o be_v no_o religion_n but_o superstition_n you_o say_v our_o religion_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o any_o action_n or_o service_n more_o now_o unto_o god_n then_o be_v before_o but_o how_o true_a this_o be_v let_v every_o man_n judge_n when_o we_o ascribe_v all_o religious_a service_n obedience_n honour_n faith_n invocation_n and_o thanks_n geve_v only_o to_o god_n by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n whereas_o you_o give_v the_o great_a part_n thereof_o to_o creature_n some_o to_o image_n some_o to_o saint_n depart_v some_o to_o your_o own_o merit_n some_o to_o your_o beggarly_a ceremony_n let_v every_o man_n therefore_o judge_v whether_o our_o religion_n give_v not_o more_o to_o god_n in_o christ_n then_o you_o when_o we_o give_v all_o to_o god_n the_o only_a author_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o christ_n our_o only_a mediator_n of_o all_o benefit_n to_o be_v receive_v of_o god_n and_o you_o give_v he_o but_o part_n of_o all_o the_o service_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o and_o make_v so_o many_o mediator_n beside_o our_o saviour_n christ_n final_o where_o as_o you_o charge_v we_o with_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o precept_n moral_a ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a of_o god_n law_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a matter_n to_o see_v your_o boldness_n what_o moral_a precept_n of_o god_n do_v we_o gainsay_v do_v we_o not_o teach_v man_n to_o observe_v all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o what_o ceremonial_a law_n remain_v there_o to_o we_o which_o be_v not_o utter_o abrogate_a by_o christ_n as_o for_o the_o judicial_a precept_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n who_o ever_o require_v the_o christian_n to_o be_v bind_v unto_o they_o the_o only_a propitiatory_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n passion_n we_o embrace_v &_o all_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n institution_n wherefore_o we_o neither_o stand_v all_o upon_o negative_n neither_o deny_v we_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o affirm_v as_o true_a the_o papist_n first_o it_o deny_v that_o the_o moral_a precept_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v keep_v of_o man._n the_o answer_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v needful_a our_o doctrine_n be_v so_o common_o know_v to_o the_o world_n to_o make_v a_o large_a discourse_n upon_o every_o one_o of_o these_o negative_n but_o only_o to_o declare_v brief_o how_o we_o deny_v they_o and_o to_o show_v a_o reason_n of_o our_o denial_n we_o deny_v in_o deed_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o any_o man_n except_o christ_n only_o to_o keep_v the_o moral_a precept_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o such_o a_o strange_a paradox_n to_o any_o man_n that_o be_v not_o a_o stark_a hypocrite_n but_o his_o own_o conscience_n will_v testify_v the_o same_o unto_o he_o the_o moral_a precept_n be_v contain_v in_o these_o two_o point_n as_o our_o saviour_n testify_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_o with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n with_o all_o thy_o strength_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o who_o be_v so_o past_a all_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o he_o dare_v affirm_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v this_o again_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n do_v so_o often_o pronounce_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n but_o because_o no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n which_o if_o a_o man_n can_v perform_v he_o shall_v live_v therein_o and_o have_v eternal_a salvation_n without_o christ_n but_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v without_o christ_n therefore_o no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o show_v we_o our_o weakness_n and_o so_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ._n the_o papist_n second_o it_o deny_v that_o any_o judgement_n in_o spiritual_a cause_n or_o in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o priest_n the_o answer_n the_o high_a court_n of_o conscience_n be_v god_n own_o jurisdiction_n the_o judgement_n whereof_o pertain_v neither_o to_o priest_n nor_o lay_v man_n but_o to_o god_n alone_o but_o in_o cause_n spiritual_a to_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o it_o pertain_v to_o ecclesiastical_a person_n from_o which_o rule_n of_o justice_n if_o any_o of_o they_o depart_v he_o be_v subject_n to_o the_o correction_n and_o punishment_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o aaron_n have_v his_o authority_n of_o judgement_n in_o spiritual_a cause_n yet_o be_v he_o reprove_v by_o moses_n and_o abiathar_n the_o high_a priest_n be_v depose_v by_o solomon_n and_o sadoc_n

all_o kind_n of_o ceremony_n the_o answer_n we_o deny_v all_o kind_n of_o ceremony_n that_o be_v of_o man_n invention_n to_o worship_n god_n or_o to_o merit_v salvation_n by_o they_o for_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o must_v do_v only_o that_o he_o command_v we_o other_o ceremony_n that_o be_v only_o for_o order_n and_o decency_n ordain_v in_o the_o church_n we_o receive_v as_o i_o have_v often_o show_v before_o the_o papist_n fowerth_o it_o do_v deny_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christes_fw-fr testament_n the_o answer_n the_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a that_o only_o take_v away_o the_o
