fountain_n of_o lively_a water_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o abide_v and_o stick_v sure_a to_o that_o faith_n they_o have_v receive_v by_o god_n word_n and_o that_o in_o no_o wise_a they_o shall_v turn_v from_o it_o to_o jewishnes_n or_o to_o the_o law_n to_o the_o sacrifice_n or_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n as_o to_o think_v they_o can_v be_v save_v without_o they_o when_o by_o christ_n they_o have_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n nor_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o join_v with_o christ_n any_o other_o thing_n as_o learning_n of_o philosophy_n work_v of_o the_o law_n ceremony_n tradition_n of_o man_n as_o without_o they_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v for_o christ_n be_v a_o sufficient_a saviour_n without_o all_o these_o thing_n nor_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a to_o salvation_n to_o join_v any_o other_o thing_n with_o christ_n as_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n without_o the_o which_o salvation_n can_v be_v have_v this_o place_n do_v reprove_v they_o that_o say_v man_n can_v understande_v holy_a scripture_n true_o without_o human_a philosophy_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o philosophy_n be_v necessary_a and_o that_o young_a man_n bring_v up_o in_o the_o university_n must_v needs_o learn_v philosophy_n they_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o study_v divinity_n before_o they_o have_v spend_v three_o or_o four_o year_n in_o philosophy_n in_o aristotle_n or_o in_o plato_n work_v that_o by_o philosophy_n they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o divinity_n and_o so_o it_o oft_o time_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o divinity_n be_v judge_v by_o philosophy_n and_o as_o the_o heathen_a philosophier_n have_v think_v and_o judge_v of_o divinity_n so_o many_o young_a man_n judgement_n be_v and_o so_o the_o studious_a youth_n in_o university_n be_v poison_v by_o human_a philosophy_n in_o their_o first_o study_n for_o as_o it_o be_v oft_o time_n see_v that_o the_o vessel_n will_v keep_v long_o the_o smell_n of_o that_o liquor_n that_o be_v first_o put_v in_o it_o so_o the_o studious_a youth_n first_o bring_v up_o in_o gentile_a learning_n keep_v long_o the_o gentile_n judgement_n and_o manner_n of_o these_o gentile_a author_n they_o have_v red_a in_o their_o youth_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a grace_n if_o ever_o they_o be_v bring_v from_o they_o and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a cause_n why_o so_o many_o bring_v up_o in_o gentile_a author_n have_v more_o swetenes_n and_o pleasure_n in_o gentile_a learning_n then_o in_o the_o learning_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o god_n word_n which_o they_o contemn_v and_o despise_v for_o gentile_a learning_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o most_o expedient_a for_o god_n glory_n to_o be_v spread_v abroad_o &_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o many_o and_o for_o true_a judgement_n to_o be_v have_v that_o all_o youth_n shall_v be_v verteous_o bring_v up_o after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n that_o they_o may_v have_v their_o judgement_n true_o form_v

how_o they_o shall_v take_v it_o and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o with_o what_o humbleness_n and_o mekenes_n oft_o time_n geve_v themselves_o too_o faithful_a prayer_n desire_v the_o

you_o by_o philosophy_n and_o vain_a deceit_n after_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n after_o the_o element_n of_o the_o world_n &_o not_o after_o christ_n for_o in_o he_o do_v dwell_v all_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n corporal_o and_o you_o be_v in_o he_o fulfil_v which_o be_v the_o head_n of_o rule_n &_o power_n now_o paul_n show_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v escheve_fw-mi and_z flee_v that_o

to_o exhort_v to_o the_o same_o with_o all_o persuasion_n but_o also_o to_o monish_v man_n to_o be_v ware_n of_o evil_a thing_n as_o of_o evil_a doctor_n and_o evil_a doctrine_n as_o first_o he_o

even_o so_o do_v these_o false_a teacher_n seducer_n of_o other_o deceive_v the_o simple_a by_o fair_a flatter_a word_n pretend_v great_a holiness_n but_o the_o truth_n know_v they_o teach_v no_o

many_o thing_n in_o gentile_a philosophy_n that_o be_v not_o repugnaunt_a to_o holy_a scripture_n but_o agree_v very_o well_o to_o it_o and_o those_o doctrine_n be_v not_o to_o be_v contemn_v but_o that_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v refuse_v and_o contemn_v that_o be_v contrary_a to_o holy_a scripture_n that_o pluck_v man_n from_o christ_n and_o from_o the_o study_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o from_o the_o true_a judgement_n of_o holy_a scripture_n the_o apostle_n will_v we_o shall_v form_n our_o judgement_n after_o holy_a scripture_n and_o our_o manner_n to_o follow_v holy_a scripture_n and_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v judge_v after_o the_o heathen_a philosophier_n &_o have_v manner_n like_a to_o the_o heathen_a but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o rectify_v our_o judgement_n after_o

where_o as_o false_a be_v and_o therefore_o i_o think_v they_o do_v evil_a and_o not_o after_o the_o counsel_n of_o saint_n paul_n which_o they_o theim selfe_o do_v and_o will_v other_o to_o do_v so_o &_o special_o studious_a youth_n first_o to_o rede_n and_o study_v human_a philosophy_n &_o by_o statute_n bind_v all_o youth_n to_o study_v three_o or_o four_o year_n philosophy_n &_o then_o after_o

the_o which_o they_o forsake_v all_o other_o learning_n &_o stick_v still_o to_o philosophy_n and_o in_o it_o consume_v all_o their_o life_n as_o some_o be_v drown_v in_o tully_n some_o in_o plato_n some_o in_o seneca_n some_o in_o one_o philosophiers_n doctrine_n &_o some_o in_o another_o that_o no_o learning_n savore_v in_o his_o mouth_n but_o that_o smell_v of_o this_o or_o that_o philosophy_a in_o who_o learning_n he_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o in_o study_n of_o it_o and_o will_v scarce_o by_o pluck_v from_o the_o savour_n of_o his_o wine_n put_v first_o in_o new_a and_o young_a bottelle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o much_o inpietie_n error_n and_o heresy_n corrupt_a judgement_n ignorance_n and_o blindness_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n for_o if_o the_o studious_a

what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o error_n but_o ignorance_n of_o scripture_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o sadducee_n math._n xxii_o you_o err_v not_o know_v the_o scripture_n so_o do_v many_o err_v
