note_v how_o our_o state_n mean_v christ_n to_o be_v our_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n and_o how_o he_o be_v to_o be_v obey_v viz._n that_o the_o write_v word_n ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o

first_o it_o be_v foul_a wrong_n to_o our_o church_n and_o to_o my_o word_n to_o say_v as_o you_o do_v that_o they_o mean_v no_o outward_a order_n at_o all_o be_v matter_n of_o faith_n or_o constant_a in_o the_o scripture_n nay_o it_o be_v never_o doubt_v but_o to_o preach_v to_o pray_v to_o administer_v sacrament_n etc._n etc._n though_o external_a yet_o be_v perpetual_a thing_n and_o necessary_a and_o unchangeable_a by_o the_o scripture_n my_o express_a word_n and_o our_o church_n meaning_n be_v that_o any_o reasonable_a kind_n of_o church-governement_n and_o rite_n and_o order_n be_v arbitrary_a and_o changeable_a no_o matter_n of_o faith_n nor_o write_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o still_o christ_n to_o be_v our_o only_a and_o absolute_a king_n and_o prophet_n nevertheless_o whosoever_o do_v urge_v upon_o our_o church_n further_o or_o on_o my_o word_n do_v slander_n and_o cavil_n and_o malicious_o deprave_v they_o and_o nothing_o else_o second_o note_v in_o my_o explication_n that_o i_o justify_v not_o this_o opinion_n of_o our_o state_n but_o i_o say_v thus_o to_o believe_v and_o practice_v simple_o destroy_v no_o man_n salvation_n in_o christ_n which_o you_o deny_v general_o and_o vehement_o in_o your_o sixth_o answer_n you_o deny_v direct_o master_n cranmer_n etc._n etc._n to_o have_v hold_v the_o foundation_n or_o to_o be_v save_v wherein_o you_o open_o profess_v and_o proclaim_v that_o second_o general_a point_n which_o in_o the_o beginning_n i_o charge_v you_o with_o that_o all_o church_n and_o christian_n here_o in_o king_n edward_n time_n

they_o be_v limb_n of_o antichrist_n for_o they_o bear_v his_o mark_n even_o to_o their_o death_n and_o not_o true_a christian_n alas_o to_o see_v how_o malice_n and_o prejudice_n have_v blind_v you_o

our_o church_n now_o yea_o between_o your_o own_o late_o and_o we_o now_o speak_v out_o what_o be_v it_o you_o can_v imagine_v none_o but_o this_o those_o good_a man_n master_n cranmer_n ridley_n etc._n etc._n and_o yourself_o of_o late_a hold_v these_o very_a same_o error_n of_o the_o outward_a church_n order_n which_o we_o do_v but_o they_o and_o you_o do_v it_o seem_v of_o simplicity_n we_o malicious_o they_o of_o ignorance_n we_o of_o plain_a obstinacy_n and_o have_v a_o convict_a and_o sear_a conscience_n whereby_o they_o and_o you_o may_v be_v true_a christian_n for_o all_o these_o error_n but_o we_o now_o can_v be_v so_o if_o this_o be_v your_o meaning_n than_o you_o grant_v we_o our_o assumption_n against_o which_o all_o your_o dispute_n here_o be_v bend_v you_o grant_v it_o i_o say_v that_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n as_o it_o be_v by_o law_n in_o england_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o particular_a man_n a_o true_a christian_a second_o we_o now_o err_v not_o in_o these_o point_n of_o simplicity_n but_o of_o wilfulness_n and_o malice_n say_v you_o so_o speak_v that_o plain_a then_o our_o whole_a assembly_n all_o and_o every_o of_o our_o assembly_n of_o
