recede_v etc._n etc._n but_o the_o divine_a have_v a_o eye_n in_o this_o to_o his_o conveniency_n reserve_v this_o point_n for_o the_o last_o therein_o to_o show_v his_o divinity_n which_o he_o have_v hitherto_o make_v little_a show_n of_o and_o so_o now_o he_o come_v to_o that_o which_o follow_v 6._o their_o 6._o point_n of_o temerity_n say_v the_o divine_a be_v in_o their_o word_n neither_o can_v we_o be_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o conform_v ourselves_o thereunto_o episcopal_a power_n observe_v these_o two_o word_n of_o the_o divine_v own_o put_n in_o by_o the_o parenthesis_n and_o by_o way_n of_o gloss_n as_o to_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o yet_o that_o we_o can_v be_v oblige_v to_o loose_v our_o state_n and_o ruin_v our_o posterity_n where_o the_o necessity_n of_o profession_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o oblige_v us._n upon_o which_o word_n the_o divine_a descant_v ask_v what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o get_v up_o into_o the_o bishop_n chair_n and_o teach_v he_o how_o far_o they_o be_v oblige_v where_o he_o say_v that_o as_o long_o as_o they_o teach_v what_o be_v common_a law_n they_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v but_o that_o where_o they_o come_v to_o teach_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a they_o pass_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_n and_o then_o he_o teach_v that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v episcopal_a power_n in_o god_n church_n and_o that_o the_o pastor_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o that_o although_o particular_n be_v not_o matter_n of_o faith_n yet_o man_n be_v bind_v out_o of_o the_o virtue_n of_o religion_n to_o hold_v they_o so_o where_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o doubt_n for_o say_v he_o it_o suffice_v that_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o obey_v their_o lawful_a pastor_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o reasonable_a cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o clalcedon_n be_v such_o to_o they_o and_o so_o conclude_v that_o they_o err_v exceed_o if_o they_o think_v that_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o conform_v themselves_o to_o any_o thing_n but_o matter_n of_o faith_n for_o that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o conform_v their_o will_n to_o matter_n of_o religion_n obedience_n or_o other_o virtue_n command_v by_o god_n &_o his_o church_n as_o they_o do_v their_o understanding_n to_o matter_n of_o faith_n thus_o the_o divine_a discourse_v more_o it_o seem_v to_o show_v his_o divinity_n then_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n for_o what_o need_v all_o this_o whereof_o there_o be_v no_o question_n as_o that_o it_o be_v the_o institution_n of_o christ_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v episcopal_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n that_o lawful_a pastor_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v that_o man_n be_v no_o less_o bind_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o other_o virtue_n than_o the_o profession_n of_o faith_n who_o deny_v all_o this_o or_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o letter_n that_o be_v right_o take_v may_v enforce_v any_o such_o discourse_n the_o catholic_n meaning_n therefore_o be_v plain_n that_o the_o acknowlege_v or_o obey_v such_o authority_n as_o my_o lord_n bishop_n now_o pretend_v here_o in_o england_n as_o thing_n stand_v be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o necessity_n to_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n or_o exercise_v of_o any_o other_o virtue_n necessary_a for_o a_o good_a christian_n but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v good_a catholic_n without_o it_o as_o they_o have_v approve_v themselves_o before_o god_n &_o the_o world_n these_o 60._o year_n which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v necessary_a the_o sea_n apostolic_a will_v never_o have_v suffer_v they_o to_o want_v a_o bishop_n so_o long_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n the_o divine_a shall_v have_v touch_v without_o go_v about_o the_o bush_n now_o what_o temerity_n be_v it_o for_o any_o lay_v man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o say_v this_o or_o wherein_o do_v he_o take_v upon_o he_o more_o them_z he_o shall_v how_o do_v he_o teach_v the_o bishop_n or_o by_o say_v this_o how_o do_v he_o pass_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a christian_a what_o crime_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n now_o in_o time_n of_o heresy_n &_o persecution_n where_o the_o profession_n and_o exercise_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n be_v dangerous_a to_o his_o life_n and_o fortune_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v urge_v by_o my_o lord_n bishop_n to_o further_a exercise_n or_o profession_n thereof_o then_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v answer_n that_o he_o think_v he_o can_v be_v bind_v unto_o it_o will_v this_o divine_a in_o good_a company_n and_o before_o learned_a man_n say_v he_o can_v no_o no_o he_o will_v be_v better_o advise_v whatsoever_o he_o write_v nay_o this_o thing_n be_v so_o plain_a and_o so_o necessary_o include_v in_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n all_o this_o time_n of_o persecution_n as_o i_o wonder_v this_o divine_a shall_v think_v it_o such_o a_o matter_n for_o a_o lie_v man_n to_o speak_v so_o much_o divinity_n he_o need_v not_o for_o his_o will_v be_v never_o the_o less_o though_o all_o the_o world_n know_v it_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n catholic_n have_v be_v so_o beat_v to_o it_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v but_o know_v it_o for_o what_o have_v make_v they_o stand_v out_o against_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n go_v to_o church_n the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o necessary_a connexion_n that_o these_o thing_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n have_v with_o the_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o be_v it_o not_o all_o catholic_n in_o england_n know_v they_o can_v not_o by_o any_o humane_a constitution_n be_v bind_v not_o to_o comforme_v themselves_o to_o our_o law_n in_o this_o behalf_n the_o danger_n be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v now_o they_o see_v that_o the_o have_v of_o a_o bishop_n at_o this_o time_n with_o such_o authority_n as_o be_v pretend_v be_v not_o of_o such_o necessity_n on_o the_o one_o side_n as_o these_o thing_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o no_o less_o danger_n and_o therefore_o they_o think_v they_o can_v be_v bind_v to_o it_o be_v this_o such_o a_o deep_a point_n of_o divinity_n as_o a_o lay_v man_n may_v not_o presume_v to_o know_v it_o or_o if_o he_o know_v not_o speak_v or_o if_o he_o speak_v of_o it_o he_o must_v be_v say_v to_o get_v up_o into_o the_o bishop_n chair_n who_o will_v think_v a_o divine_a will_v trifle_v thus_o but_o let_v we_o see_v more_o he_o enlarge_v himself_o in_o this_o as_o be_v in_o his_o judgement_n a_o substantial_a point_n of_o temerity_n make_v another_o paragraph_n of_o it_o but_o before_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o i_o can_v omit_v to_o note_v the_o divine_n parenthesis_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o 6._o paragraph_n where_o to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o letter_n which_o say_v neither_o can_v we_o be_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o conform_v ourselves_o hereunto_o which_o they_o mean_v plain_o of_o a_o episcopal_a tribunal_n as_o thing_n stand_v this_o divine_a with_o his_o parenthesis_n of_o episcopal_a power_n make_v as_o though_o catholic_n deny_v conformity_n to_o episcopal_a power_n in_o general_a which_o be_v a_o strange_a slight_n &_o i_o may_v say_v plain_a corruption_n but_o to_o go_v on_o with_o he_o he_o go_v forward_o thus_o like_o to_o this_o be_v that_o other_o great_a error_n of_o they_o where_o they_o say_v they_o can_v be_v oblige_v to_o loose_v their_o estate_n &_o ruin_v their_o posterity_n where_o the_o necessity_n of_o profession_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o oblige_v they_o for_o say_v he_o they_o be_v aswell_o oblige_a to_o loose_v their_o estate_n nay_o life_n also_o where_o the_o exercise_v of_o any_o necessary_a virtue_n do_v oblige_v they_o as_o where_o the_o profession_n of_o faith_n do_v for_o example_n he_o bring_v joseph_n the_o patriarch_n who_o be_v oblige_v to_o loose_v his_o estate_n and_o liberty_n as_o well_o when_o the_o necessity_n of_o chastity_n do_v bind_v he_o as_o necessity_n of_o profess_v his_o faith_n so_o he_o say_v christian_n be_v no_o less_o bind_v to_o obey_v the_o decree_n of_o the_o apostle_n they_o believe_v their_o doctrine_n and_o he_o bring_v the_o authority_n of_o s._n thomas_n to_o prove_v that_o he_o suffer_v as_o a_o christian_a whosoever_o suffer_v for_o do_v any_o good_a or_o avoid_v any_o evil_n say_v withal_o of_o himself_o that_o to_o loose_v their_o life_n for_o acknowledge_v their_o lawful_a pastor_n be_v to_o loose_v it_o for_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n so_o the_o church_n hold_v they_o for_o martyr_n who_o will_v rather_o die_v then_o subscribe_v to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o s._n athanasius_n etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o divine_a be_v very_o free_a to_o call_v this_o a_o error_n which_o by_o answer_v what_o he_o say_v
