we_o by_o antichriste_n devil_n why_o god_n suffer_v such_o miracle_n to_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o devil_n paul_n have_v faithful_o admonish_v the_o thessalonians_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v that_o

and_o whether_o we_o will_v suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v pluck_v from_o he_o by_o such_o illusion_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v to_o punyshe_v the_o unbelever_n for_o so_o do_v paul_n teach_v we_o to_o the_o thessalonians_n because_o say_v he_o they_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o they_o be_v deliver_v to_o be_v delude_v with_o inchantemente_n and_o

more_o confirm_v the_o first_o be_v write_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o cornelius_n the_o centurion_n peter_n cornelius_n cast_v himself_o down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o peter_n to_o who_o when_o peter_n come_v he_o cast_v himself_o at_o his_o foot_n but_o peter_n will_v not_o suffer_v that_o yea_o he_o reprehend_v he_o and_o answer_v in_o this_o manner_n do_v not_o so_o rise_v up_o for_o i_o also_o be_o a_o man_n we_o read_v also_o in_o the_o apocalypse_n angel_n john_n fall_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o angel_n that_o john_n fall_v down_o before_o the_o angel_n but_o he_o admonish_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o so_o do_v i_o be_o say_v he_o thy_o fellow_n servant_n these_o two_o place_n may_v thus_o be_v understande_v that_o peter_n and_o the_o angel_n condemn_v these_o act_n as_o in_o a_o manner_n idolatrous_a as_o though_o the_o centurion_n and_o john_n shall_v attribute_v any_o divine_a nature_n creature_n neither_o cornelius_n nor_o john_n will_v worship_v creature_n the_o one_o to_o peter_n the_o other_o to_o the_o angel_n and_o shall_v have_v give_v unto_o they_o more_o honour_n than_o be_v conveniente_a for_o creature_n but_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o can_v not_o be_v easelye_o think_v of_o either_o of_o these_o the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o the_o centurion_n fear_v and_o worship_v god_n how_o shall_v we_o therefore_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v be_v lead_v to_o believe_v that_o peter_n be_v god_n or_o at_o the_o jest_n to_o attribute_v divine_a honour_v unto_o a_o creature_n and_o it_o be_v not_o very_o likely_a that_o john_n which_o be_v either_o a_o apostle_n or_o else_o a_o notable_a divine_n as_o some_o call_v he_o can_v not_o discern_v a_o angel_n from_o god_n if_o so_o be_v that_o neither_o of_o these_o will_v worship_v a_o creature_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o creator_n this_o remain_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o geve_v unto_o creature_n this_o kind_n of_o outward_a reverence_n wherefore_o we_o shall_v seem_v not_o to_o have_v say_v well_o before_o in_o say_v that_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v give_v unto_o prince_n and_o king_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o must_v be_v a_o difference_n observe_v between_o a_o civil_a and_o a_o worldelye_o honour_n and_o a_o divine_a and_o religious_a woorship_v as_o we_o have_v before_o expound_v idolatrye_a the_o centurion_n &_o john_n sin_v in_o excess_n but_o they_o can_v not_o be_v accuse_v of_o idolatrye_a furthermore_o we_o must_v know_v that_o these_o two_o man_n cornelius_n i_o say_v and_o john_n intend_v not_o by_o this_o their_o worship_v to_o transfer_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n unto_o creature_n howbeit_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v that_o they_o fall_v to_o a_o unmeasurable_a sign_n of_o reverence_n and_o so_o in_o that_o excess_n they_o somewhat_o commit_v sin_n but_o as_o touch_v king_n and_o prince_n we_o be_v in_o much_o less_o danger_n of_o fall_v than_o towards_o angel_n or_o minister_n of_o christ_n for_o these_o because_o they_o exercise_v the_o spiritual_a office_n the_o honour_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o they_o draw_v nigh_o to_o a_o religious_a adoration_n wherefore_o in_o those_o place_n either_o the_o bow_n of_o the_o knee_n or_o of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o by_o themselves_o condemn_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v give_v for_o religion_n

let_v we_o remember_v that_o which_o i_o have_v also_o before_o admonyshed_a that_o this_o also_o belong_v to_o idolatrye_a when_o we_o worship_n the_o true_a god_n by_o other_o way_n and_o rite_n

god_n therefore_o because_o of_o so_o grievous_a a_o wicked_a crime_n of_o the_o hebrew_n wax_v hot_a against_o they_o which_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understande_v as_o though_o god_n have_v any_o

which_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o it_o first_o because_o god_n in_o that_o thing_n shall_v be_v tempt_v and_o that_o do_v the_o law_n of_o god_n utter_o forbid_v yea_o &_o our_o saviour_n with_o

therefore_o he_o detract_v to_o desire_v a_o sign_n unto_o the_o question_n i_o answer_v that_o after_o a_o sort_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o desire_v sign_n and_o the_o same_o also_o after_o a_o sort_n be_v unlawful_a the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o sentence_n be_v thus_o prove_v when_o holy_a man_n desire_v as_o touch_v any_o unaccustomed_a vocation_n to_o be_v make_v more_o assure_v of_o the_o

with_o such_o doubt_n &_o the_o will_n be_v ready_a yea_o desirous_a to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o than_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o some_o sign_n these_o godly_a man_n can_v not_o be_v accuse_v of_o tempt_v of_o god_n or_o of_o rashness_n for_o who_o soever_o in_o those_o case_n desire_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n use_v to_o offer_v he_o depart_v

to_o desire_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n sometime_o geve_v and_o free_o offer_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v prohibit_v as_o unlawful_a the_o thing_n want_v no_o example_n moses_n when_o he_o have_v need_n of_o the_o help_n of_o god_n oftentimes_o in_o the_o desert_n obtain_v miracle_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o to_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n both_o helias_n and_o

take_v up_o thy_o bed_n rise_v and_o walk_v wherefore_o miracle_n be_v desire_v of_o holy_a man_n and_o that_o just_o either_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v the_o more_o assure_v of_o their_o

miracle_n caution_n in_o desire_v of_o miracle_n let_v they_o desire_v the_o same_o not_o of_o any_o creature_n but_o of_o god_n only_o and_o in_o ask_v they_o let_v they_o use_v a_o mean_a for_o they_o declare_v that_o they_o will_v or_o desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n let_v we_o consider_v after_o what_o manner_n miracle_n be_v unworthe_o and_o unjust_o desire_v first_o there_o be_v some_o miracle_n when_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o desire_v miracle_n which_o therefore_o desire_v miracle_n

most_o greedy_a of_o new_a thing_n plinius_n plinius_n wherefore_o they_o seem_v to_o desire_v miracle_n as_o play_n and_o passetymes_o to_o sport_v then selue_o withal_o in_o that_o manner_n look_v

what_o it_o be_v to_o tempt_v god_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v speak_v they_z which_o by_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n already_o describe_v do_v desire_v
