only_o institute_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n but_o also_o he_o adjoin_v the_o wash_n of_o foot_n and_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n he_o say_v eat_v and_o drink_v but_o in_o the_o wash_n of_o eete_a and_o you_o ought_v one_o to_o wash_v the_o foot_n of_o another_o here_o the_o adversary_n say_v that_o in_o the_o first_o word_n there_o be_v a_o precept_n but_o not_o in_o the_o last_o and_o so_o the_o faithful_a by_o god_n commandment_n be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n in_o both_o kind_n but_o not_o so_o to_o the_o wash_n of_o foot_n now_o i_o ask_v how_o they_o be_v certain_a of_o this_o or_o by_o what_o pretence_n do_v they_o think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o the_o receive_n of_o both_o kynde_n and_o yet_o free_a from_o the_o wash_n of_o foot_n certain_o they_o can_v pretend_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n for_o they_o seem_v rather_o to_o show_v the_o contrary_n for_o these_o word_n eat_v and_o drink_v seem_v to_o signify_v no_o more_o of_o themselves_o then_o if_o a_o housekeeper_n shall_v say_v to_o his_o guest_n eat_v and_o drink_v and_o be_v merry_a and_o if_o the_o housekeeper_n shall_v say_v so_o it_o will_v not_o be_v think_v that_o be_v mean_v thereby_o to_o bind_v they_o by_o a_o precept_n therefore_o see_v christ_n speak_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n how_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o he_o intend_v by_o that_o manner_n of_o speak_v to_o oblige_v all_o the_o faithful_a to_o the_o receive_n of_o both_o kind_n but_o these_o word_n you_o ought_v to_o wash_v the_o foot_n of_o one_o another_o seem_v to_o signify_v a_o precept_n no_o less_o then_o if_o the_o master_n shall_v say_v to_o the_o servant_n thou_o must_v cover_v the_o table_n how_o therefore_o know_v they_o that_o by_o these_o word_n they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o wash_v the_o foot_n of_o one_o another_o see_v the_o word_n themselves_o do_v show_v plain_o a_o obligation_n only_o by_o the_o practice_n and_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o church_n never_o have_v use_v this_o wash_n as_o necessary_a which_o notwithstanding_o she_o will_v have_v do_v if_o she_o have_v think_v that_o she_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o it_o and_o that_o by_o christ_n commandment_n i_o omit_v many_o like_a example_n which_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v find_v and_o out_o of_o these_o i_o conclude_v thus_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1._o according_a to_o the_o bare_a and_o outward_a letter_n 2._o according_a to_o the_o inward_a sense_n which_o be_v intend_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o neither_o of_o

take_v in_o the_o second_o way_n because_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n often_o time_n be_v so_o obscure_a and_o doubtful_a that_o there_o be_v need_n of_o some_o other_o judge_v who_o may_v define_v this_o to_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n which_o be_v intend_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o not_o any_o other_o contrary_a and_o this_o be_v sufficient_a about_o the_o second_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n the_o iii_o argument_n which_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o controversy_n themselves_o this_o argument_n thus_o i_o propound_v there_o be_v many_o controversye_n
