be_v a_o thanksgiving_n in_o deed_n that_o be_v such_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o he_o have_v command_v and_o prescribe_v in_o his_o word_n if_o i_o shall_v wilful_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o i_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v a_o member_n of_o his_o church_n chancellor_n yet_o still_o i_o think_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o poise_v and_o prevail_v with_o you_o as_o it_o shall_v do_v woman_n here_o be_v a_o do_v with_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o when_o you_o have_v all_o do_v a_o man_n may_v easy_o see_v that_o though_o you_o talk_v of_o it_o never_o so_o much_o you_o use_v it_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o as_o a_o stalking_a horse_n among_o you_o chancellor_n what_o mean_v you_o by_o that_o why_o you_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o the_o staulkinge_a horse_n be_v not_o to_o blame_v for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o foul_a he_o do_v but_o only_a shadow_n and_o stand_v before_o the_o foul_a while_o he_o kill_v he_o even_o so_o do_v you_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n as_o you_o handle_v it_o be_v a_o notable_a veil_n to_o shadow_v all_o your_o deformity_n and_o corruption_n if_o a_o good_a minister_n do_v not_o yield_v to_o your_o lawless_a and_o unconscionable_a subscription_n or_o if_o he_o over_o skip_v the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n ring_n in_o marriage_n or_o any_o such_o needle_n ceremony_n then_o straight_o you_o choke_v he_o with_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o you_o do_v now_o by_o we_o for_o our_o refusal_n of_o kneel_v and_o church_a chancellor_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o in_o good_a earnest_n why_o may_v not_o these_o and_o more_o than_o these_o be_v endure_v and_o yield_v unto_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n woman_n if_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n be_v so_o dear_a unto_o you_o as_o you_o pretend_v and_o make_v show_v of_o then_o will_v you_o never_o for_o shame_n trouble_v either_o minister_n or_o people_n for_o such_o odd_a thing_n as_o those_o that_o rather_o hinder_v then_o further_a man_n in_o religion_n but_o your_o manner_n be_v when_o you_o speak_v of_o one_o thing_n to_o mean_v another_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n but_o you_o mean_v still_o the_o peace_n of_o your_o hierarchy_n the_o peace_n of_o your_o unrulie_a place_n and_o office_n the_o peace_n of_o all_o your_o popish_a &_o beggarly_a ceremony_n so_o they_o may_v stand_v still_o untouched_a if_o you_o chauncelyer_n and_o your_o official_o may_v be_v at_o quiet_a in_o your_o room_n and_o jurisdiction_n little_o the_o

never_o so_o shameful_a chancellor_n o_o my_o good_a kinswoman_n we_o have_v hear_v enough_o of_o these_o matter_n long_o ago_o these_o suppose_a quarrel_n have_v be_v answer_v and_o answer_v again_o you_o come_v to_o late_o yea_o faith_n with_o your_o baskett_n of_o apple_n now_o what_o a_o devil_n shall_v you_o meddle_v with_o any_o of_o these_o matter_n it_o be_v much_o fit_a for_o such_o as_o you_o be_v to_o meddle_v with_o your_o spindle_n and_o your_o wheel_n and_o sober_o to_o attend_v your_o trade_n &_o vocation_n than_o thus_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o your_o heart_n to_o control_v your_o better_n and_o to_o deal_v in_o church_n cause_n which_o belong_v not_o unto_o you_o woman_n i_o be_v i_o thank_v god_n busy_v in_o my_o vocation_n and_o so_o i_o may_v have_v be_v still_o have_v not_o you_o summon_v i_o thence_o by_o your_o officer_n i_o know_v right_a well_o church_n cause_n belong_v not_o to_o such_o as_o i_o be_o to_o deal_v in_o neither_o do_v i_o meddle_v withal_o far_o than_o by_o way_n of_o suit_n or_o complaint_n to_o those_o that_o have_v authority_n to_o redress_v and_o if_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n can_v not_o move_v you_o to_o leave_v cite_v &_o trouble_v we_o for_o trifle_n who_o otherwise_o you_o can_v not_o charge_v with_o any_o crime_n never_o blame_v we_o if_o the_o bare_a sound_n and_o noise_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o at_o all_o move_v we_o to_o yield_v to_o any_o of_o your_o trifle_n &_o fruitless_a ceremony_n against_o our_o conscience_n chancellor_n well_o i_o be_o sorry_a you_o be_v so_o wilful_a yea_o faith_n i_o perceive_v i_o shall_v do_v no_o good_a of_o you_o woman_n i_o tell_v you_o you_o may_v easy_o do_v good_a of_o i_o and_o easy_o draw_v i_o to_o the_o bent_n of_o your_o bow_n if_o you_o can_v produce_v and_o allege_v unto_o i_o but_o one_o only_a sentence_n and_o proof_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n chancellor_n scripture_n there_o be_v nothing_o with_o you_o but_o scripture_n no_o no._n it_o be_v even_o the_o pride_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o peevish_a singularity_n of_o your_o own_o conceit_n that_o do_v thus_o draw_v you_o why_o do_v you_o think_v no_o body_n see_v any_o thing_n but_o yourself_o or_o do_v you_o think_v there_o be_v not_o as_o sober_a &_o as_o honest_a woman_n as_o you_o church_v woman_n then_o i_o perceyve_v you_o have_v no_o scripture_n in_o the_o world_n to_o persuade_v i_o with_o your_o only_a scripture_n be_v the_o pride_n of_o my_o heart_n the_o singularity_n of_o my_o conceit_n and_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o but_o you_o ask_v i_o whether_o as_o honest_a woman_n as_o i_o be_v not_o churehed_n i_o ask_v you_o again_o whether_o as_o honest_a man_n as_o you_o have_v not_o deny_v christ_n th'example_n of_o the_o godly_a you_o know_v be_v not_o to_o be_v follow_v but_o in_o godliness_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o common_a guise_n of_o you_o and_o your_o generation_n to_o make_v a_o solemn_a gather_n and_o call_v as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o scab_n imperfection_n and_o bleamish_v of_o the_o best_a man_n and_o then_o to_o lay_v they_o in_o our_o dish_n straight_o as_o a_o choke-pear_n to_o we_o as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o find_v once_o that_o father_n latimer_n and_o ridley_n or_o any_o such_o like_a reverend_a man_n do_v wear_v square_a cap_n and_o surplus_n why_o then_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o this_o must_v be_v proclaim_v straight_o as_o a_o authentical_a warrant_n to_o all_o the_o succeed_a minister_n of_o the_o land_n that_o they_o may_v bold_o and_o safe_o yield_v to_o the_o wear_n of_o the_o like_a attire_n chancellor_n and_o i_o promise_v you_o it_o be_v something_o i_o tell_v you_o as_o light_v as_o you_o make_v of_o it_o why_o be_v the_o example_n of_o the_o godly_a martyr_n nothing_o with_o you_o and_o your_o precise_a brotherhood_n woman_n yes_o it_o be_v something_o but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o shall_v weigh_v more_o with_o we_o than_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n david_n or_o peter_n who_o step_n you_o know_v we_o must_v not_o follow_v when_o they_o slip_v or_o go_v awry_o but_o will_v you_o yourselves_o i_o pray_v you_o if_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v it_o stand_v to_o the_o judgement_n and_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o godly_a martyr_n chancellor_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o woman_n why_o then_o down_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n straight_o your_o lawless_a oath_n of_o inquisition_n wherewith_o you_o so_o plague_v the_o church_n now_o a_o day_n judge_n by_o mai._n tindall_n else_o mai._n lambart_n and_o other_o that_o suffer_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n truth_n chancellor_n indeed_o ma._n tindall_n and_o ma._n lambart_n be_v somewhat_o wilful_a woman_n just_o how_o else_o thus_o you_o marshal_v the_o martyr_n as_o it_o please_v yourselves_o when_o they_o may_v serve_v your_o turn_n be_v it_o in_o never_o so_o great_a ignorance_n and_o weakness_n of_o they_o then_o their_o name_n their_o piety_n and_o their_o patience_n be_v lay_v before_o we_o in_o great_a and_o capital_a letter_n as_o pattern_n to_o follow_v but_o when_o they_o cross_v you_o in_o any_o thing_n be_v the_o same_o never_o so_o apparent_o warrant_v by_o the_o scripture_n then_o alas_o they_o be_v but_o man_n yea_o and_o many_o time_n wilful_a man_n as_o you_o do_v now_o most_o iniuriouslie_o slander_v mr_n lambart_n and_o mr_n tindall_n chancellor_n but_o to_o leave_v these_o circumstance_n and_o by_o matter_n do_v you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v church_v speak_v your_o conscience_n woman_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o make_v show_n of_o thanksgiving_n and_o yet_o to_o give_v no_o thanks_n

saviour_n you_o see_v defend_v his_o disciple_n in_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o decency_n of_o those_o pharisee_n of_o that_o age_n and_o his_o word_n do_v warrant_n and_o defend_v we_o in_o the_o breach_n of_o this_o suppose_a decency_n of_o your_o phariss_n of_o this_o age_n chancellor_n nay_o then_o yea_o faith_n if_o you_o go_v to_o that_o you_o may_v take_v yourselves_o by_o the_o nose_n mistress_n cousin_n for_o who_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o right_a phariss_n &_o hypocrite_n if_o you_o be_v not_o you_o be_v so_o demure_a and_o you_o make_v it_o so_o nice_a and_o so_o holy_a among_o you_o that_o by_o the_o mass_n a_o dog_n will_v not_o dwell_v with_o you_o woman_n i_o perceyve_v if_o a_o dog_n dwell_v with_o you_o if_o you_o can_v but_o make_v he_o speak_v once_o you_o will_v quick_o teach_v he_o to_o swear_v chancellor_n o_o that_o be_v all_o your_o grace_n among_o you_o you_o think_v yourselves_o so_o pure_a over_o other_o man_n because_o you_o can_v a_o little_a bridle_n yourselves_o from_o swear_v and_o yet_o you_o will_v do_v ten_o time_n worse_a and_o make_v no_o bone_n at_o it_o as_o covetous_a as_o spiteful_a and_o malicious_a you_o be_v the_o most_o of_o you_o as_o dog_n i_o know_v one_o of_o your_o crew_n who_o will_v not_o swear_v for_o no_o good_a and_o use_v ordinary_o to_o pray_v with_o his_o man_n in_o his_o chamber_n and_o yet_o be_v at_o a_o knight_n house_n where_o he_o have_v good_a entertainment_n they_o pray_v so_o hearty_o among_o they_o that_o for_o conscience_n sake_n they_o fair_o thwit_v i_o of_o a_o valence_n of_o a_o bed_n and_o carry_v that_o &_o a_o piece_n of_o plate_n with_o they_o to_o the_o value_n of_o twenty_o noble_n at_o the_o least_o woman_n well_o though_o this_o peradventure_o may_v be_v one_o of_o your_o legend_n story_n for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v yet_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v true_a what_o get_v you_o by_o that_o one_o sin_n you_o know_v excuse_v not_o another_o these_o be_v hypocrite_n &_o thief_n therefore_o you_o to_o avoid_v this_o danger_n will_v needs_o be_v swearer_n &_o ruffean_n what_o physic_n or_o policy_n call_v you_o that_o to_o avoid_v hypocrisy_n by_o plain_a and_o open_a iniquity_n chancellor_n why_o i_o do_v not_o defend_v swear_v to_o be_v good_a woman_n you_o do_v not_o hear_v i_o say_v so_o i_o wish_v i_o can_v leave_v it_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n it_o be_v but_o a_o foolish_a custom_n and_o come_v from_o i_o at_o unaware_o and_o that_o many_o time_n when_o i_o think_v no_o harm_n in_o the_o world_n woman_n the_o apostle_n be_v against_o you_o in_o that_o for_o he_o say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v and_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o out_o of_o the_o heart_n come_v evil_a thought_n and_o yet_o you_o can_v drop_n vile_a oath_n among_o you_o such_o be_v your_o skill_n &_o think_v no_o harm_n i_o must_v needs_o commend_v you_o for_o this_o by_o mean_n whereof_o you_o have_v bring_v one_o notable_a thing_n to_o pass_v in_o our_o church_n and_o i_o wish_v for_o my_o part_n you_o be_v chronicle_v for_o it_o chancellor_n what_o be_v that_o good_a gossipper_n woman_n why_o that_o albeit_o there_o be_v many_o parish_n amongst_o we_o without_o a_o preach_a minister_n yet_o to_o mend_v the_o matter_n there_o be_v few_o diocese_n in_o the_o land_n without_o a_o swear_a chancellor_n chancellor_n that_o be_v more_o they_o you_o know_v good_a huswife_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o do_v not_o think_v but_o the_o worst_a chancellor_n among_o we_o do_v more_o good_a than_o many_o of_o your_o upstart_n and_o busy_a head_a preacher_n pratler_n i_o shall_v say_v woman_n well_o to_o let_v that_o rest_n as_o it_o be_v for_o if_o there_o by_o any_o thing_n amiss_o we_o shall_v do_v wrong_a to_o look_v for_o amends_n from_o you_o you_o see_v evidentlie_o that_o the_o example_n which_o i_o allege_v of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o reprove_v the_o pharisee_n and_o defendinge_v his_o disciple_n in_o their_o refusal_n of_o that_o trifle_n of_o wash_v of_o hand_n be_v both_o a_o check_n to_o you_o for_o thus_o trouble_v of_o we_o without_o cause_n &_o a_o good_a warrant_n for_o we_o to_o do_v as_o we_o do_v chancellor_n do_v i_o see_v it_o i_o promise_v you_o i_o must_v get_v i_o better_a spectacle_n then_o then_o ever_o i_o can_v yet_o light_v on_o woman_n well_o if_o you_o do_v not_o see_v it_o i_o must_v needs_o hold_v with_o you_o that_o your_o spectacle_n be_v stark_o naught_o in_o deed_n but_o whether_o you_o do_v see_v it_o or_o will_v not_o see_v it_o it_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v a_o lesson_n of_o instruction_n to_o we_o who_o you_o now_o thus_o trouble_v that_o whensoever_o any_o pharisaical_a hypocrite_n do_v strict_o urge_v and_o press_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o own_o tradition_n be_v they_o never_o so_o small_a and_o trifle_a with_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n than_o it_o be_v our_o part_n by_o all_o lawful_a &_o body_n mean_v to_o bend_v ourselves_o against_o they_o and_o not_o to_o yield_v to_o th'observation_n of_o the_o least_o of_o they_o much_o less_o when_o the_o tradition_n shall_v be_v noisome_a hurtful_a and_o superstitious_a and_o derogatory_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n chancellor_n in_o good_a faith_n it_o be_v never_o merry_a world_n since_o these_o twattle_a woman_n become_v divine_n i_o see_v i_o

that_o you_o stand_v upon_o whereas_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v to_o you_o a_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o a_o thing_n that_o you_o ought_v daily_o to_o
