answer_v brief_o for_o it_o have_v be_v answer_v at_o large_a in_o the_o point_n of_o humiliation_n that_o we_o condemn_v they_o because_o in_o some_o of_o they_o we_o may_v say_v that_o they_o be_v spoil_v in_o dress_v and_o use_v the_o proverb_n much_o more_o true_o here_o than_o man_n do_v in_o their_o choler_n when_o their_o meat_n distaste_v their_o palate_n god_n send_v meat_n but_o the_o devil_n send_v cook_n god_n have_v ordain_v some_o of_o these_o but_o the_o devil_n have_v stir_v up_o man_n to_o corrupt_v they_o several_o to_o make_v they_o distaste_n god_n namely_o that_o whereas_o god_n command_v or_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v do_v and_o that_o man_n shall_v do_v they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v dislike_v god_n and_o be_v make_v unprofitable_a to_o the_o actor_n the_o devil_n have_v teach_v they_o to_o make_v that_o public_a which_o shall_v be_v private_a and_o so_o by_o ostentation_n or_o hypocrisy_n to_o mar_v the_o act_n yea_o to_o use_v they_o at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o lord_n call_v to_o the_o contrary_a yea_o to_o think_v by_o they_o to_o merit_v remission_n of_o sin_n at_o least_o of_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o as_o it_o be_v ignorant_o teach_v by_o their_o priest_n see_v remission_n of_o sin_n go_v before_o this_o a_o man_n have_v no_o soon_o believe_v and_o repent_v but_o both_o the_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n be_v remit_v even_o before_o he_o can_v perform_v any_o such_o act_n as_o this_o so_o be_v it_o sacrilegious_a to_o christ_n who_o have_v free_v we_o from_o both_o whereas_o this_o make_v his_o suffering_n and_o merit_n imperfect_a and_o for_o one_o of_o they_o only_o and_o this_o be_v like_o that_o coloquintida_n 4.38_o 2._o king_n 4.38_o which_o spoil_v the_o whole_a pot_n of_o pottage_n which_o be_v

but_o other_o of_o they_o be_v will-worship_n thing_n without_o warrant_n precept_n or_o practice_n and_o so_o good_a reason_n there_o be_v why_o we_o shall_v condemn_v the_o thing_n and_o reproove_v their_o author_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o this_o seven_o and_o last_o sign_n 1_o use_v 1_o 1._o if_o this_o be_v so_o how_o can_v many_o man_n persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o
