a_o answer_n to_o six_o reason_n that_o thomas_n pound_n gentleman_n and_o prisoner_n in_o the_o marshalsey_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o her_o majesty_n commissioner_n for_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a require_v to_o be_v answer_v because_o these_o reason_n do_v move_v he_o to_o think_v that_o controversy_n and_o doubt_n in_o religion_n may_v not_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o scripture_n but_o that_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v for_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v mute_a and_o dumb_a 2._o the_o second_o for_o that_o they_o be_v full_a of_o hard_a and_o deep_a mystery_n 3._o the_o third_o for_o that_o s._n peter_n say_v no_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v take_v after_o any_o private_a interpretation_n 4._o the_o four_o for_o that_o to_o appeal_v to_o the_o scripture_n do_v seem_v to_o deny_v all_o unwritten_a verity_n 5._o the_o fyft_n be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a absurdity_n not_o to_o have_v a_o certain_a judge_n of_o absolute_a authority_n in_o the_o interpret_n of_o scripture_n etc._n etc._n 6._o the_o sixth_o be_v for_o that_o in_o refuse_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n absolute_a judgement_n herein_o we_o seem_v to_o deny_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n write_a by_o robert_n crowley_n ¶_o imprint_v at_o london_n by_o john_n charlewood_n
