devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o these_o shall_v go_v into_o everlasting_a pain_n and_o the_o righteous_a into_o life_n eternal_a the_o like_a say_n be_v also_o in_o daniel_n 2.1_o danie_n 2.1_o

and_o absolute_a conclusion_n of_o master_n john_n calvine_n in_o and_o about_o the_o question_n ensue_v agree_v with_o the_o opinion_n of_o philip_n melancton_n peter_n martyr_n and_o martin_n bucer_n all_o godly_a notable_a and_o excellent_a learned_a minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n because_o say_v he_o i_o very_o think_v that_o the_o party_n abovenamed_a have_v sufficient_o say_v that_o that_o man_n do_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a who_o in_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n make_v not_o a_o confession_n of_o his_o faith_n much_o less_o then_o he_o who_o defile_v himself_o with_o dissimul_v of_o idolatry_n therefore_o will_v i_o cease_v to_o dispute_v thereof_o at_o large_a nevertheless_o this_o be_v my_o opinion_n and_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n follow_v first_o whether_o a_o godly_a and_o devoute_a man_n may_v rather_o forsake_v his_o country_n and_o leave_v his_o call_n then_o to_o be_v present_a at_o mass_n at_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o dead_a after_o the_o popish_a manner_n and_o usurp_v such_o ceremony_n of_o popery_n as_o be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o not_o only_o the_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o also_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o he_o wherein_o be_v contain_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o majesty_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o country_n and_o kinsfolk_n yea_o before_o life_n itself_o and_o therefore_o whosoever_o they_o be_v which_o live_v in_o such_o place_n as_o that_o they_o can_v perform_v that_o duty_n unto_o god_n which_o be_v necessary_o require_v of_o all_o christian_n let_v they_o understand_v thus_o much_o that_o this_o commandment_n stretch_v itself_o aswell_o unto_o they_o as_o unto_o abraham_n where_o it_o be_v say_v in_o gene._n 12.1_o get_v the_o out_o of_o thy_o country_n &_o from_o amongst_o thy_o kindred_n except_o peradventure_o they_o have_v this_o courageous_a mind_n with_o they_o that_o they_o have_v rather_o die_v whensoever_o they_o shall_v be_v drive_v thereto_o they_o forsake_v their_o profession_n for_o any_o favour_n or_o gain_v whatsoever_o which_o they_o may_v any_o way_n obtain_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n here_o be_v also_o another_o objection_n that_o no_o lawful_a vocation_n or_o call_v appoint_v by_o god_n be_v for_o any_o cause_n unaduised_o to_o be_v neglect_v and_o therefore_o in_o no_o wise_a to_o be_v voluntary_o leave_v i_o answer_v that_o every_o christian_n be_v bind_v unto_o his_o call_n even_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o power_n wherefore_o except_o god_n will_v render_v up_o his_o own_o title_n and_o interest_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o aught_o or_o may_v hold_v we_o from_o do_v our_o duty_n for_o either_o god_n be_v to_o be_v respect_v in_o the_o call_n or_o else_o we_o have_v some_o other_o end_n and_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o without_o we_o make_v the_o chief_a account_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n this_o name_n or_o title_n of_o call_v be_v but_o vain_o foist_v in_o howbeit_o if_o this_o obtain_v the_o principal_a place_n as_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n it_o shall_v we_o be_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v so_o farfourth_o bind_v to_o our_o call_n as_o that_o it_o ought_v by_o no_o mean_a to_o withdraw_v we_o from_o the_o true_a and_o sincere_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o law_n take_v place_n before_o the_o second_o even_o so_o likewise_o be_v all_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n to_o be_v direct_v unto_o it_o as_o to_o a_o true_a and_o perfect_a square_n for_o this_o be_v the_o some_o and_o effect_v of_o the_o first_o table_n to_o hold_v and_o keep_v the_o pure_a worship_n adoration_n &_o invocation_n of_o our_o god_n this_o therefore_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o the_o world_n of_o so_o great_a a_o price_n whatsoever_o which_o ought_v to_o cause_v any_o christian_n to_o profane_v himself_o with_o any_o dregs_n of_o superstition_n thereby_o to_o dyminishe_v or_o violate_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v excuse_v furthermore_o when_o as_o i_o in_o this_o sort_n shall_v set_v down_o that_o popish_a mass_n and_o dirge_n and_o all_o solemn_a prayer_n wherein_o the_o dead_a saint_n be_v call_v upon_o be_v of_o this_o kind_n he_o that_o shall_v hear_v i_o will_v never_o agree_v to_o hear_v mass_n or_o yet_o be_v present_a at_o any_o such_o filthy_a trash_n neither_o yet_o once_o flatter_v himself_o as_o if_o he_o may_v do_v it_o but_o what_o if_o some_o man_n by_o fine_a and_o clean_o dissemble_v for_o the_o commonweal_n sake_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o many_o be_v able_a to_o redeem_v great_a riches_n and_o commodity_n i_o answer_v that_o none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v able_a once_o to_o countervail_v the_o true_a and_o necessary_a profession_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o the_o
