do_v recant_v the_o three_o article_n contain_v 5._o demand_n 1_o show_v i_o why_o our_o common_a know_a church_n do_v not_o as_o well_o corrupt_a the_o text_n of_o the_o testament_n as_o the_o true_a

corrupt_a the_o text_n of_o the_o testament_n as_o the_o true_a religion_n contain_v therein_o first_o because_o she_o can_v not_o the_o copy_n thereof_o be_v so_o many_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o

corrupt_v the_o scripture_n yet_o it_o make_v the_o less_o matter_n because_o she_o find_v mean_n to_o diminish_v and_o control_v the_o authority_n thereof_o by_o advance_v decree_n of_o man_n pope_n and_o counsel_n to_o be_v equal_a or_o of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o scripture_n three_o because_o she_o will_v be_v less_o in_o fear_n to_o be_v reprove_v by_o the_o scripture_n she_o provide_v that_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o shall_v be_v hide_v from_o the_o unlearned_a people_n by_o a_o strange_a tongue_n and_o from_o the_o learned_a by_o the_o tedious_a maze_n of_o question_n devise_v by_o her_o canonist_n and_o sententiary_n four_o because_o she_o submit_v all_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o her_o own_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o be_v control_v by_o the_o judgement_n thereof_o but_o will_v always_o expound_v it_o as_o it_o like_v she_o best_o as_o appear_v by_o ockam_n and_o duns_n who_o though_o they_o confess_v that_o transubstantiation_n seem_v to_o they_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o reason_n yet_o they_o believe_v it_o because_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o for_o none_o other_o cause_n these_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o romish_a church_n do_v not_o as_o well_o corrupt_a the_o text_n of_o the_o testament_n as_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o yet_o how_o corrupt_a that_o latin_a translation_n be_v which_o they_o will_v needs_o thrust_v upon_o we_o be_v sufficient_o know_v to_o all_o learned_a man_n even_o in_o such_o text_n as_o be_v the_o most_o coulerable_a place_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o popish_a doctrine_n i_o will_v geve_v one_o example_n for_o all_o they_o allege_v the_o text_n 1._o cor._n 10._o qui_fw-la stat_fw-la videat_fw-la ne_fw-la cadat_fw-la he_o

he_o take_v heed_n he_o fall_v not_o thus_o the_o popish_a church_n can_v altogether_o excuse_v herself_o from_o corrupt_v of_o the_o text_n of_o the_o testament_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o fraud_n or_o of_o ignorance_n or_o of_o negligence_n the_o lord_n know_v 2_o show_v i_o why_o she_o keep_v not_o so_o safe_o and_o faithful_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o god_n his_o word_n as_o she_o preserve_v the_o word_n itself_o because_o it_o be_v against_o she_o own_o estimation_n and_o profit_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n for_o which_o popish_a prelate_n maintain_v popish_a religion_n take_v away_o the_o pope_n prerogative_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n his_o word_n down_o go_v cardinal_n legate_n prothonotary_n down_o go_v all_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n take_v

which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n down_o go_v the_o estimation_n and_o gain_n of_o all_o the_o popish_a clergy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o popish_a church_n keep_v not_o so_o safe_o and_o faithful_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o god_n his_o word_n as_o she_o preserve_v the_o word_n itself_o although_o she_o preserve_v not_o the_o word_n itself_o in_o such_o safety_n as_o become_v the_o church_n of_o christ._n 3_o show_v i_o why_o we_o shall_v believe_v the_o papist_n as_o you_o term_v they_o for_o the_o word_n itself_o and_o rather_o you_o protestant_n than_o they_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n we_o do_v not_o challenge_v credit_n to_o ourselves_o in_o any_o point_n so_o presumptuous_o as_o the_o papist_n that_o man_n must_v believe_v it_o because_o we_o affirm_v it_o but_o because_o we_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v true_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n you_o shall_v believe_v we_o rather_o than_o they_o because_o our_o ground_n &_o proof_n be_v better_a than_o they_o or_o else_o we_o require_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v better_a than_o they_o 4_o show_v i_o why_o you_o believe_v our_o church_n tell_v you_o this_o to_o be_v god_n his_o book_n &_o will_v not_o credit_v she_o avouch_v this_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o undoubted_a sense_n of_o the_o same_o book_n if_o we_o have_v no_o better_a ground_n to_o persuade_v we_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n his_o book_n than_o the_o testimony_n of_o your_o church_n you_o may_v be_v sure_a we_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o but_o because_o we_o have_v most_o steadfast_a assurance_n of_o god_n his_o spirit_n for_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o book_n with_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o true_a church_n in_o all_o age_n if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v god_n his_o book_n we_o believe_v you_o not_o because_o you_o say_v so_o but_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o if_o you_o bring_v out_o a_o false_a sense_n we_o believe_v you_o not_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v false_a &_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o we_o geve_v as_o much_o credit_n to_o your_o church_n as_o to_o the_o devil_n when_o the_o devil_n say_v it_o be_v write_v he_o shall_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v over_o thou_o and_o with_o their_o hand_n they_o shall_v hold_v thou_o up_o that_o thou_o dash_v not_o thy_o foot_n against_o a_o stone_n we_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o when_o he_o avouch_v this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o that_o we_o may_v cast_v down_o ourselves_o from_o a_o church_n steeple_n without_o danger_n we_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o because_o we_o know_v this_o sense_n be_v contrary_a to_o a_o other_o scripture_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god._n so_o when_o you_o say_v these_o word_n be_v the_o scripture_n of_o god_n this_o be_v my_o body_n we_o believe_v it_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o when_o you_o say_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n this_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o my_o natural_a body_n we_o believe_v you_o not_o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n his_o humanity_n or_o natural_a body_n thus_o i_o show_v you_o why_o we_o believe_v you_o if_o you_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v god_n his_o word_n namely_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a &_o why_o we_o believe_v you_o not_o say_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o that_o be_v because_o we_o know_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v false_a 5_o last_v of_o all_o show_v i_o why_o you_o believe_v the_o old_a know_a church_n affirm_v this_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o will_v not_o believe_v she_o affirm_v luther_n to_o be_v a_o heretic_n show_v i_o good_a reason_n or_o scripture_n for_o these_o thing_n and_o i_o recant_v if_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o old_a church_n the_o primitive_a church_n who_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o allow_v &_o believe_v i_o deny_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v affirm_v luther_n to_o be_v a_o heretic_n or_o the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o teach_v which_o we_o hold_v to_o be_v heresy_n but_o i_o be_o able_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n from_o which_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o scripture_n affirm_v your_o doctrine_n to_o be_v heresy_n &_o your_o church_n the_o church_n of_o antichrist_n but_o if_o by_o the_o old_a know_a church_n you_o mean_v the_o church_n of_o old_a know_v to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o antichrist_n which_o be_v the_o popish_a church_n we_o believe_v the_o devil_n if_o he_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o we_o believe_v not_o a_o angel_n come_v from_o heaven_n if_o he_o bring_v any_o other_o gospel_n than_o s._n paul_n deliver_v to_o the_o galatian_n therefore_o when_o your_o

the_o practice_n of_o the_o old_a and_o pu_a church_n by_o enjoin_v of_o work_n of_o repentance_n be_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v by_o conterfect_a repentance_n in_o stead_n of_o true_a and_o earnest_a reformation_n not_o to_o satisfy_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sinner_n which_o be_v not_o satisfy_v but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o satisfy_v and_o assure_v the_o church_n as_o much_o as_o man_n may_v judge_v of_o the_o unfeigned_a and_o hearty_a repentance_n of_o the_o offendor_n for_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o old_a writer_n use_v the_o word_n of_o satisfaction_n something_o unproper_o yet_o their_o clear_a affirmation_n of_o the_o only_a satisfaction_n of_o christ_n death_n declare_v what_o they_o understand_v when_o they_o use_v that_o term_n in_o a_o other_o sense_n but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v omit_v that_o m._n allen_n confess_v the_o papist_n to_o have_v leave_v the_o old_a usage_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v first_o to_o set_v satisfaction_n and_o then_o to_o absolve_v and_o now_o of_o late_a to_o have_v take_v up_o a_o contrary_a custom_n that_o be_v first_o to_o absolve_v then_o to_o enjoin_v penance_n this_o

sufficient_a that_o the_o church_n can_v not_o err_v though_o they_o do_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o usage_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n without_o ground_n of_o scripture_n and_o against_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ._n how_o hard_a cyprian_a be_v to_o absolve_v they_o that_o be_v excommunicate_a before_o they_o have_v show_v great_a fruit_n of_o repentance_n and_o how_o
