you_o now_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o another_o objection_n which_o usual_o we_o make_v against_o the_o protestant_n of_o england_n that_o they_o bring_v in_o too_o much_o good_a fellowship_n in_o religion_n and_o make_v salvation_n a_o flower_n which_o grow_v in_o every_o man_n garden_n see_v that_o according_a to_o their_o tenet_n papist_n protestant_n anabaptist_n and_o familist_n may_v every_o one_o of_o they_o by_o mean_n offer_v in_o his_o own_o church_n as_o a_o portion_n or_o fragment_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n attain_v unto_o salvation_n prot._n if_o you_o be_v learn_v i_o can_v answer_v you_o in_o a_o word_n that_o none_o of_o these_o three_o sectary_n consider_v in_o his_o own_o formality_n quatalis_fw-la as_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n anabaptist_n or_o familist_n can_v ever_o attain_v unto_o salvation_n but_o only_o as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a man_n admit_v by_o baptism_n unto_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o there_o make_v partaker_n of_o god_n word_n and_o sacrament_n for_o then_o although_o these_o bless_a mean_n be_v very_o much_o weak'n_v and_o obscure_v in_o their_o synagogue_n by_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n and_o invention_n of_o man_n yet_o may_v that_o holy_a spirit_n that_o 8._o blow_v where_o he_o list_v work_n in_o such_o a_o man_n heart_n by_o these_o weak_a instrument_n and_o the_o rather_o the_o more_o the_o word_n be_v faithful_o preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v in_o those_o place_n sincere_o administer_v a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o salvation_n so_o then_o we_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o papist_n anabaptist_n and_o familist_n but_o only_o that_o some_o christian_n live_v in_o their_o congregation_n may_v though_o with_o great_a difficulty_n in_o comparison_n of_o this_o flourish_a church_n of_o we_o and_o these_o admirable_a mean_n of_o salvation_n tender_v in_o the_o same_o by_o the_o special_a mercy_n of_o god_n be_v save_v and_o preserve_v if_o we_o be_v in_o a_o error_n it_o be_v safe_a to_o err_v in_o charity_n than_o in_o malice_n and_o precipitancy_n consider_v the_o event_n hereof_o be_v unknown_a to_o either_o of_o we_o pap._n ay_o but_o where_o be_v your_o church_n before_o this_o reformation_n begin_v prot._n 1._o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n withdraw_v the_o people_n from_o the_o 12._o leaven_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n to_o the_o bread_n 35._o which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o to_o salvation_n by_o faith_n in_o his_o name_n be_v it_o fit_v to_o demand_v of_o he_o where_o his_o church_n be_v before_o that_o reformation_n 2._o when_o these_o church_n of_o 1._o corinth_n 1._o galatia_n 12._o pergamus_n and_o 18._o thiatyra_n be_v full_a of_o abuse_n if_o some_o part_n only_o upon_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v reform_v themselves_o and_o so_o a_o division_n have_v grow_v will_v you_o straight_o way_n have_v tax_v they_o of_o novelty_n or_o ask_v they_o where_o their_o church_n have_v be_v before_o this_o reformation_n 3._o when_o the_o apostle_n cast_v off_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n except_v only_o those_o three_o 29._o or_o four_o ceremony_n and_o when_o the_o primitive_a church_n some_o hundred_o year_n after_o cast_v off_o those_o ceremony_n also_o for_o i_o find_v they_o breathe_v of_o their_o last_o as_o it_o be_v about_o the_o time_n of_o tryphon_n justin_n

reformation_n i_o answer_v then_o that_o our_o church_n before_o this_o reformation_n begin_v live_v together_o in_o one_o communion_n with_o you_o with_o toleration_n of_o all_o those_o abuse_n which_o you_o have_v still_o retain_v and_o we_o most_o just_o reject_v pap._n ay_o but_o i_o hope_v you_o dare_v not_o compare_v in_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n with_o christ_n his_o apostle_n or_o those_o worthy_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o therefore_o how_o presume_v you_o to_o reform_v yourselves_o reformation_n be_v a_o work_n fit_a for_o a_o general_a council_n to_o have_v go_v about_o than_o for_o a_o small_a handful_n of_o northern_a people_n prot._n the_o court_n of_o rome_n have_v so_o gain_v upon_o the_o 43._o church_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v the_o pope_n and_o his_o conclave_n of_o cardinal_n have_v wriggle_v in_o themselves_o to_o that_o transcendency_n of_o power_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o clergy_n and_o well_o mind_a laity_n that_o it_o appear_v both_o at_o 1415._o constance_n 1546._o and_o trent_n there_o be_v small_a hope_n of_o reformation_n from_o such_o a_o council_n where_o the_o pope_n the_o party_n to_o be_v reform_v become_v the_o

council_n of_o trent_n yet_o you_o will_v quick_o find_v out_o this_o ridiculous_a absurdity_n in_o a_o general_a council_n as_o now_o it_o be_v hold_v since_o the_o decay_n of_o the_o empire_n the_o pope_n be_v the_o party_n to_o be_v accuse_v yet_o put_v up_o his_o own_o endictment_n pass_v a_o jury_n of_o his_o own_o vassal_n and_o find_v they_o what_o they_o will_v be_v to_o give_v final_a judgement_n he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v as_o his_o suppose_a predecessor_n teach_v our_o saviour_n to_o do_v to_o wit_n favour_n himself_o so_o as_o 22._o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o do_v

therefore_o one_o of_o your_o own_o writer_n conclude_v that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n several_a kingdom_n be_v to_o reform_v themselves_o by_o national_a counsel_n which_o england_n and_o denmark_n
