primitive_a church_n of_o christ_n this_o upon_o their_o mere_a say_n so_o i_o confident_o believe_v without_o ever_o make_v doubt_n thereof_o or_o further_a enquiry_n for_o any_o proof_n but_o come_v into_o germany_n whither_o my_o journey_n be_v as_o you_o know_v intend_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o prince_n palatine_n who_o we_o then_o call_v king_n of_o bohemia_n and_o there_o behold_v the_o lutheran_n preacher_n to_o stand_v swagger_v in_o their_o pulpit_n with_o their_o mouth_n as_o full_a of_o scripture_n as_o any_o of_o our_o pulpit-mens_n in_a england_n may_v possible_o be_v and_o there_o to_o see_v they_o so_o to_o contemn_v scorn_v &_o deride_v our_o english_a preacher_n pretention_n of_o restore_v apostolical_a religion_n as_o the_o most_o ridiculous_a jest_n in_o the_o world_n i_o stand_v not_o a_o little_a amaze_v at_o the_o matter_n travail_v from_o germany_n into_o bohemia_n there_o do_v i_o hear_v the_o hussite-preacher_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v the_o lutheran_n before_o condemn_v our_o doctrine_n of_o england_n laugh_v and_o scof_n at_o our_o preacher_n pretention_n of_o primitive_a truth_n as_o a_o jest_n only_o to_o make_v sport_n withal_o not_o contain_v nor_o carry_v therewith_o so_o much_o as_o any_o show_n of_o truth_n which_o to_o my_o consideration_n prove_v no_o jest_n at_o all_o light_v after_o this_o in_o the_o company_n of_o anabaptist_n with_o which_o albeit_o england_n be_v little_o acquaint_v yet_o in_o these_o part_n they_o will_v also_o be_v some_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n see_v they_o hold_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o flush_v in_o scripture_n as_o the_o proud_a of_o their_o competitor_n they_o protest_v by_o yea_o and_o by_o nay_o that_o our_o protestant_a religion_n of_o england_n be_v not_o consonant_a but_o contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o lord_n what_o may_v i_o think_v of_o the_o great_a boast_n which_o our_o pulpit-master_n in_o england_n make_v of_o the_o light_n of_o their_o gospel_n who_o seem_v where_o they_o be_v there_o alone_o to_o be_v the_o only_a man_n at_o it_o in_o the_o world_n when_o here_o in_o germany_n i_o hear_v the_o lutheran_n preacher_n who_o patriarch_n martin_n luther_n we_o in_o england_n so_o much_o commend_v extol_v the_o light_n of_o their_o own_o gospel_n above_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n &_o make_v our_o gospel_n of_o england_n more_o dimmer_n than_o a_o lantern_n how_o may_v i_o marvel_v think_v you_o when_o i_o hear_v the_o hussite-preacher_n so_o much_o to_o scorn_v our_o god_n word_n of_o england_n as_o if_o it_o be_v but_o the_o word_n of_o robin-hood_n and_o what_o may_v i_o imagine_v when_o the_o anabaptiste_n that_o speak_v nothing_o but_o scripture_n dare_v challenge_v all_o our_o rabin_n at_o no_o other_o weapon_n but_o at_o the_o only_a word_n &_o will_v always_o be_v ready_a to_o continue_v the_o combat_n as_o long_o as_o they_o have_v finger_n to_o turn_v over_o leaf_n in_o the_o bible_n but_o what_o labyrinth_n may_v you_o think_v i_o to_o have_v light_v in_o why_o in_o my_o travail_n i_o happen_v into_o a_o inn_n where_o i_o have_v about_o my_o ear_n all_o these_o at_o once_o where_o i_o find_v myself_o environ_v about_o with_o different_a word_n of_o god_n &_o different_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n where_o when_o i_o go_v about_o to_o defend_v our_o gospel_n of_o

with_o much_o impatience_n patient_o hear_v our_o god_n word_n of_o england_n make_v the_o very_a hotchpotch_n &_o ollapodrida_a of_o the_o world_n they_o become_v so_o pleasant_a and_o sportful_a with_o i_o as_o to_o ask_v i_o whether_o god_n have_v banish_v his_o true_a religion_n into_o a_o i_o will_v and_o hem_v it_o about_o with_o the_o sea_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v dwell_v no_o

which_o when_o i_o will_v have_v gaynsay_v they_o strayghtwayes_o come_v upon_o i_o with_o temporal_a and_o feminine_a ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n and_o with_o pageant_n of_o little_a pope_n as_o

that_o can_v talk_v so_o brave_o in_o england_n before_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o to_o have_v see_v how_o these_o different_a kind_n of_o scripture-followes_a will_v have_v

then_o do_v these_o fellow_n from_o one_o text_n to_o another_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n of_o all_o which_o when_o i_o have_v well_o consider_v there_o be_v nothing_o whereat_o i_o
