of_o the_o true_a church_n heresy_n may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o error_n and_o hay_n &_o stubble_n from_o those_o thing_n which_o either_o of_o themselves_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o opinion_n of_o worship_n bring_v in_o be_v either_o ungodly_a or_o superstitious_a and_o yet_o that_o all_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o chucch_n aught_o to_o understand_v that_o as_o the_o altar_n be_v not_o in_o time_n past_a to_o be_v build_v of_o stone_n garnish_v by_o the_o diligence_n of_o man_n neither_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o so_o much_o as_o to_o fasten_v a_o nail_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n which_o moses_n have_v see_v in_o the_o mount_n even_o so_o now_o also_o all_o godly_a magistrate_n indeed_o and_o all_o true_a shepherd_n aught_o to_o endeavour_n that_o in_o restore_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o so_o many_o mean_v fall_v down_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o restore_v those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v overthrow_v by_o antichrist_n but_o also_o that_o they_o shall_v most_o diligent_o wipe_v away_o all_o even_o the_o light_a spot_v that_o have_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o antichrist_n although_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v wax_v hard_o upon_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o that_o mark_v partly_o by_o the_o story_n of_o former_a age_n and_o partly_o by_o the_o behold_n of_o the_o present_a ruin_n of_o the_o church_n these_o former_a evil_n of_o satan_n they_o shall_v at_o no_o hand_n suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v mock_v by_o the_o allegation_n of_o the_o fragmente_n of_o certain_a of_o the_o ancient_a father_n or_o by_o any_o vain_a show_n of_o custom_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o leave_v of_o until_o by_o doctrine_n both_o the_o ceremony_n and_o all_o the_o ecclesiastical_a government_n also_o be_v apt_v not_o unto_o some_o figurative_a image_n of_o show_n which_o be_v needful_a under_o the_o schoolemastership_n of_o the_o law_n but_o exact_o frame_v according_a unto_o the_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o by_o his_o own_o mouth_n &_o his_o apostle_n after_o he_o have_v most_o perfect_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o their_o writing_n but_o concern_v this_o matter_n we_o will_v elsewhere_o speak_v more_o full_o as_o i_o hope_v when_o we_o shall_v answer_v those_o notable_a mean_a man_n who_o reprehend_v we_o as_o over_o severe_a exactor_n of_o that_o work_n &_o especial_o when_o we_o shall_v several_o answer_v unto_o the_o write_n of_o cassander_n to_o the_o end_n all_o man_n may_v understand_v that_o none_o more_o hinder_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n than_o these_o samaritan_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n or_o religion_n now_o because_o i_o see_v some_o not_o yield_v unto_o these_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v in_o general_a concern_v the_o fundamental_a or_o principal_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n again_o to_o demand_v what_o those_o shall_v be_v i_o answer_v that_o these_o article_n be_v to_o be_v call_v ground_n or_o principle_n which_o be_v lay_v the_o whole_a building_n remain_v &_o which_o being_n over_o throw_v all_o thing_n build_v thereupon_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o profess_v to_o have_v be_v describe_v with_o great_a shortness_n &_o plainness_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o cré_v which_o they_o call_v the_o apostle_n which_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v add_v to_o the_o ten_o commandment_n &_o the_o lord_n prayer_n of_o the_o which_o that_o to_o wit_n the_o ten_o commandment_n do_v very_o compendious_o set_v out_o the_o order_n of_o christian_a life_n and_o this_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n prayer_n do_v very_o brief_o also_o set_v out_o right_a invocation_n and_o prayer_n this_o i_o say_v be_v that_o fundamental_a true_a and_o perpetual_a mark_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v blot_v out_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n but_o which_o nevertheless_o ought_v to_o be_v expound_v out_o of_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v take_v that_o all_o man_n may_v understand_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v now_o the_o order_n of_o this_o exposition_n be_v 2._o church_n what_o exposition_n of_o catholic_a doctrine_n be_v require_v in_o the_o church_n fold_n one_o more_o familiar_a which_o be_v necessary_a for_o all_o man_n a_o other_o more_o large_a and_o far_o more_o plentiful_a as_o we_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v afterwards_o expound_v by_o some_o other_o creed_n of_o the_o holy_a synod_n that_o heresy_n may_v be_v meet_v withal_o &_o the_o conscience_n establish_v more_o and_o more_o in_o sound_a doctrine_n therefore_o albeit_o that_o to_o the_o end_n that_o some_o man_n may_v be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v most_o exact_o understande_v for_o what_o cause_n thing_n be_v speak_v and_o set_v down_o and_o shall_v know_v the_o determination_n of_o disputation_n in_o divinity_n yet_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o know_v according_a to_o his_o capacity_n what_o he_o do_v believe_v and_o why_o he_o do_v believe_v and_o not_o to_o rest_v in_o the_o devilishe_a invention_n of_o faith_n which_o they_o call_v unfold_v that_o be_v to_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n have_v determine_v and_o to_o ask_v no_o further_o but_o to_o add_v also_o unto_o that_o familiar_a instruction_n the_o exposition_n of_o holy_a writing_n off_o that_o the_o true_a yea_o the_o catholic_a church_n have_v more_o than_o once_o want_v a_o ordinary_a and_o lawful_a ministry_n and_o therefore_o that_o that_o ordinary_a and_o lawful_a ordination_n and_o succession_n of_o pastor_n be_v for_o a_o time_n break_v off_o of_o which_o paul_n set_v before_o we_o four_o point_n 2._o tim._n 3._o to_o wit_n doctrine_n reproof_n correction_n and_o comfort_n all_o which_o be_v by_o diligent_a pastor_n and_o teacher_n public_o and_o private_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o believer_n it_o remain_v that_o we_o declare_v how_o much_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v to_o personal_a succession_n and_o ordination_n we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o only_a true_a perpetual_a and_o necessary_a mark_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v that_o doctrine_n which_o diverse_o and_o sundry_a manner_n of_o way_n first_o by_o word_n and_o afterward_o by_o write_n have_v be_v deliver_v by_o the_o prophet_n and_o at_o the_o last_o most_o perfect_o declare_v by_o christ_n himself_o and_o that_o by_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o by_o his_o apostle_n for_o this_o word_n as_o even_o after_o christ_n himself_o peter_n say_v be_v that_o seed_n by_o which_o the_o catholic_a church_n both_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n appear_v and_o by_o which_o also_o it_o shall_v continue_v even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o seed_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n except_o it_o be_v sow_v and_o the_o lord_n who_o both_o under_o the_o old_a and_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n appoint_v a_o order_n for_o the_o sow_v of_o this_o seed_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n have_v i_o say_v necessary_o appoint_v this_o sow_v for_o otherwise_o the_o spread_a abroad_o of_o this_o church_n will_v quick_o end_v to_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v it_o so_o true_o then_o thou_o will_v say_v ordination_n also_o and_o succession_n of_o those_o person_n be_v a_o true_a perpetual_a and_o necessary_a mark_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n agree_v altogether_o with_o that_o other_o to_o wit_n the_o mark_n of_o sow_v so_o our_o adversary_n do_v conclude_v but_o false_o and_o foolish_o for_o that_o i_o may_v let_v pass_v those_o two_o thing_n already_o confute_v by_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o they_o babble_v of_o the_o succession_n of_o person_n omit_v the_o succession_n of_o that_o apostolical_a doctrine_n moreover_o because_o that_o they_o propound_v a_o other_o succession_n than_o that_o which_o have_v be_v begin_v by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o either_o they_o do_v not_o see_v or_o they_o dissemble_v that_o they_o do_v see_v albeit_o the_o sow_v also_o and_o the_o sower_n be_v require_v no_o less_o than_o the_o seed_n to_o the_o till_v of_o this_o field_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o same_o order_n have_v not_o always_o be_v keep_v either_o of_o sow_v the_o seed_n or_o of_o ordain_v they_o unto_o who_o this_o sow_v be_v commit_v and_o this_o notwithstanding_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v learn_v both_o by_o the_o before_o telling_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o also_o by_o the_o holy_a history_n which_o thing_n remain_v to_o be_v prove_v of_o us._n the_o church_n therefore_o i_o confess_v be_v never_o without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o let_v these_o man_n also_o show_v we_o that_o there_o have_v be_v some_o one_o
