pope_n know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a way_n to_o bring_v he_o in_o credit_n for_o if_o king_n ruler_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o may_v be_v deceive_v do_v choose_v as_o nigh_o as_o they_o can_v their_o most_o dear_a and_o trusty_a friend_n to_o be_v their_o precedent_n and_o deputy_n then_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n of_o all_o king_n that_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v if_o he_o have_v mean_v to_o have_v have_v a_o general_a vicar_n on_o the_o earth_n will_v have_v make_v one_o of_o his_o dear_a and_o trusty_a friend_n his_o vicar_n and_o not_o his_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n may_v say_v what_o he_o will_v but_o all_o wise_a man_n do_v see_v that_o christ_n neither_o take_v he_o for_o his_o vicar_n nor_o yet_o for_o his_o curate_n can_v he_o or_o his_o chaplain_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o prefer_v ignorance_n before_o knowledge_n i_o think_v not_o some_o of_o they_o have_v affirm_v that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o devotion_n o_o lord_n how_o contrary_a be_v these_o man_n both_o to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o son_n christ_n nay_o ignorance_n of_o god_n word_n be_v rather_o the_o mother_n of_o mischief_n the_o father_n of_o falsehood_n the_o sister_n of_o sin_n the_o son_n of_o sedition_n the_o daughter_n of_o disobediency_n the_o cousin_n of_o conspiracy_n and_o the_o captain_n of_o cruelty_n full_a well_o the_o devil_n know_v that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o bring_v the_o pope_n to_o promotion_n and_o the_o people_n to_o destruction_n for_o their_o ignorance_n make_v they_o think_v that_o none_o but_o the_o pope_n or_o his_o prelate_n do_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o their_o blindness_n do_v make_v they_o believe_v that_o none_o do_v see_v perfect_o but_o he_o and_o his_o precious_a prelate_n so_o that_o for_o want_n of_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n which_o of_o purpose_n they_o keep_v from_o they_o they_o beléeve_v that_o all_o they_o speak_v be_v true_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a right_a way_n that_o they_o do_v lead_v they_o so_o that_o the_o people_n ignorance_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o pope_n credit_n his_o credit_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o gain_n his_o gain_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o power_n his_o power_n th●_n cause_n of_o his_o pride_n &_o his_o pride_n the_o cause_n he_o make_v emperor_n and_o king_n his_o servant_n or_o rather_o slave_n and_o thus_o the_o ignorance_n of_o god_n word_n bring_v the_o pope_n to_o promotion_n the_o prince_n to_o subjection_n and_o the_o people_n to_o destruction_n and_o if_o you_o mark_v well_o you_o may_v perceyve_v that_o the_o pope_n suppress_v and_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n word_n from_o the_o people_n be_v a_o manifest_a argument_n that_o he_o be_v neither_o christ_n vicar_n nor_o his_o deputy_n nor_o that_o he_o love_v christ_n for_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n love_v thou_o i_o to_o who_o peter_n say_v yea_o lord_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o 21_o than_o christ_n say_v to_o he_o again_o feed_v my_o sheep_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o peter_n love_n to_o christ_n appear_v by_o feed_n of_o christ_n sheep_n which_o be_v not_o by_o feed_n their_o body_n with_o meat_n and_o drink_v but_o by_o feed_n their_o soul_n through_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o gospel_n now_o if_o they_o love_v christ_n that_o feed_v his_o sheep_n than_o they_o must_v needs_o hate_v christ_n that_o starve_v his_o sheep_n never_o preach_v to_o they_o at_o all_o and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v the_o pope_n for_o he_o never_o preach_v therefore_o he_o never_o feed_v christ_n sheep_n nay_o beside_o that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o trouble_v molest_v hurt_n burn_v and_o kill_v such_o as_o do_v or_o will_v feed_v christ_n sheep_n but_o also_o hide_v keep_v back_o and_o burn_v the_o byble_n and_o testament_n jest_n the_o people_n shall_v look_v on_o they_o and_o feed_v themselves_o so_o that_o here_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o pope_n love_v not_o christ_n because_o he_o feed_v not_o christ_n sheep_n and_o he_o that_o love_v not_o christ_n must_v needs_o hate_v christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n be_v christ_n enemy_n can_v not_o be_v the_o vicar_n of_o christ._n and_o here_o also_o be_v a_o great_a contrariety_n between_o peter_n &_o the_o pope_n though_o he_o claim_v to_o be_v peter_n successor_n for_o peter_n love_v christ_n for_o that_o he_o feed_v christ_n sheep_n but_o y_o e_o pope_n hate_v christ_n because_o he_o starve_v his_o sheep_n yea_o and_o also_o kill_v his_o sheep_n so_o that_o the_o pope_n do_v not_o succeed_v peter_n in_o any_o thing_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o deny_v of_o christ._n here_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v well_o be_v the_o uicar_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o christ_n uickar_n sure_o he_o can_v not_o be_v i_o be_o most_o certain_a that_o it_o be_v christ_n will_n that_o his_o word_n shall_v not_o be_v keep_v from_o any_o though_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n will_v it_o shall_v be_v right_o know_v of_o any_o for_o will_v christ_n have_v we_o keep_v that_o we_o never_o hear_v of_o and_o will_v he_o have_v we_o search_v we_o know_v not_o what_o no_o christ_n be_v never_o so_o unreasonable_a for_o christ_n say_v unto_o we_o all_o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n that_o be_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v will_v by_o his_o word_n 14._o but_o how_o can_v we_o know_v what_o be_v his_o commandment_n y_o it_o we_o shall_v keep_v if_o none_o declare_v they_o unto_o we_o neither_o read_v they_o ourselves_o nor_o yet_o have_v they_o red_a unto_o we_o therefore_o if_o our_o love_v of_o christ_n depend_v on_o y_fw-fr e_fw-la keep_v of_o his_o commandment_n they_o how_o can_v we_o love_v he_o see_v we_o can_v not_o know_v his_o commandment_n so_o that_o y_z e_z pope_n keep_v or_o hurding_n of_o god_n word_n from_o the_o people_n be_v the_o cause_n they_o can_v not_o keep_v god_n commandment_n and_o their_o not_o keep_v of_o god_n commandment_n be_v the_o cause_n they_o do_v not_o love_v he_o and_o their_o not_o love_v of_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o hate_v they_o and_o his_o hate_v of_o they_o will_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o damnation_n and_o thus_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o first_o worker_n of_o the_o ignorant_a people_n damnation_n christ_n say_v also_o search_v the_o scripture_n for_o they_o be_v they_o that_o witness_n of_o i_o 5._o but_o how_o can_v they_o search_v the_o scripture_n that_o have_v not_o the_o scripture_n to_o search_v neither_o know_v how_o to_o come_v by_o they_o now_o if_o the_o scripture_n witness_v what_o be_v christ_n will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o if_o their_o search_n and_o look_v therein_o will_v show_v they_o how_o to_o perform_v his_o will_n and_o please_v he_o and_o the_o please_a of_o he_o will_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o salvation_n then_o the_o pope_n hide_v and_o keep_v the_o scripture_n from_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o can_v hear_v read_v or_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o not_o hear_v read_v or_o search_v of_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o cause_n they_o can_v know_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o not_o know_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o cause_n they_o can_v not_o please_v he_o and_o their_o not_o please_v of_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o please_v the_o devil_n and_o the_o please_a of_o y_fw-fr e_o devil_n be_v y_z e_z cause_n of_o their_o damnation_n and_o thus_o once_o again_o y_z e_z pope_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o the_o ignorant_a people_n damnation_n christ_n say_v also_o blessed_n be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o 11._o so_o that_o they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o not_o be_v unhappy_a now_o if_o all_o they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o happy_a than_o all_o they_o that_o hear_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v unhappy_a for_o there_o be_v none_o happy_a but_o they_o that_o keep_v or_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o how_o can_v they_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o neither_o hear_v it_o nor_o read_v it_o now_o if_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o keep_v it_o and_o their_o keep_v or_o follow_v of_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o be_v happy_a or_o bless_a then_o the_o pope_n restrain_v of_o god_n word_n from_o the_o people_n be_v the_o cause_n they_o do_v not_o hear_v it_o and_o their_o not_o hear_v it_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o can_v keep_v or_o follow_v it_o and_o their_o not_o keep_v or_o follow_v of_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o be_v unhappy_a and_o their_o unhappiness_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o damnation_n

this_o therefore_o from_o henceforth_o thou_o shall_v have_v war_n thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o king_n asas_fw-la peace_n and_o quietness_n be_v turn_v into_o war_n and_o trouble_n because_o he_o

17._o and_o great_a riches_n because_o he_o walk_v right_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o abolish_v idolatry_n which_o godly_a &_o virtuous_a king_n in_o the_o three_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n
