because_o agreement_n in_o fundamental_n in_o your_o sense_n do_v not_o suffice_v to_o the_o exact_a agreement_n in_o religion_n for_o we_o and_o you_o be_v not_o of_o one_o religion_n as_o all_o

and_o promise_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o now_o to_o look_v about_o for_o the_o original_a cause_n why_o heretic_n be_v not_o all_o of_o one_o religion_n since_o they_o resolve_v all_o or_o pretend_v to_o resolve_v their_o faith_n into_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o spirit_n i_o need_v not_o go_v far_o to_o find_v it_o out_o for_o it_o be_v know_v by_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o heretic_n he_o be_v a_o man_n who_o make_v his_o own_o election_n by_o his_o private_a judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o have_v cast_v of_o church_n authority_n and_o put_v his_o own_o wit_n in_o place_n to_o judge_v each_o take_v where_o and_o what_o he_o like_v and_o their_o judgment_n be_v diverse_a they_o take_v diverse_a thing_n and_o expound_v diverslie_o 74._o neither_o do_v the_o scripture_n serve_v the_o turn_n in_o this_o case_n first_o because_o there_o be_v disagreement_n which_o be_v scripture_n which_o cause_n must_v be_v first_o determine_v by_o some_o judge_n and_o this_o judge_n to_o each_o heretic_n be_v his_o own_o wit_n secondlie_o it_o be_v obscure_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v infinite_a variety_n in_o guess_v at_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o experience_n of_o many_o hundred_o year_n and_o in_o this_o case_n likewise_o each_o heretic_n do_v adore_v his_o own_o judgement_n as_o for_o the_o spirit_n that_o of_o god_n be_v not_o among_o heretic_n but_o in_o the_o church_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v since_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n and_o their_o spirit_n opposite_a it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v another_o and_o that_o erroneous_a and_o by_o the_o mulplicitie_n of_o judgment_n and_o contradiction_n among_o themselves_o it_o appear_v evidentlie_o that_o they_o be_v many_o and_o no_o marvel_n since_o each_o crowch_v unto_o his_o own_o since_o each_o have_v his_o maozim_n within_o himself_o this_o therefore_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o arian_n nestorian_n lutheran_n &c._n &c._n though_o they_o be_v all_o against_o the_o catholic_a be_v not_o of_o one_o religion_n among_o themselves_o 73._o neither_o will_v the_o consequence_n be_v good_a if_o you_o shall_v argue_v thus_o luther_n receave_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n and_o caluin_n receave_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n therefore_o luther_n and_o caluin_n be_v of_o one_o religion_n it_o do_v not_o hold_v i_o say_v since_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o same_o sense_n nor_o be_v unite_v in_o any_o one_o common_a mean_a to_o receive_v it_o and_o be_v the_o argument_n good_a it_o will_v prove_v caluinist_n and_o arian_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o religion_n since_o each_o receive_v the_o letter_n 74._o hence_o it_o come_v also_o that_o all_o heretic_n can_v have_v one_o definition_n but_o that_o every_o one_o be_v to_o be_v define_v according_a to_o the_o point_n he_o do_v hold_v in_o particular_a because_o of_o his_o difference_n from_o other_o in_o the_o

but_o only_o by_o his_o own_o will_n and_o conceit_n since_o therefore_o there_o be_v difference_n among_o heretic_n and_o that_o this_o
