no_o need_n to_o write_v that_o which_o they_o institute_v and_o teach_v to_o be_v daily_o in_o use_n among_o christian_n see_v it_o can_v not_o then_o be_v forget_v and_o therefore_o need_v not_o

they_o be_v baptize_v or_o no_o and_o yet_o be_v they_o without_o all_o doubt_n baptize_v they_o know_v that_o christ_n have_v promise_v to_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o his_o holy_a catholic_a church_n to_o teach_v the_o say_a church_n all_o truth_n and_o to_o remain_v therewith_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n what_o necessity_n be_v there_o then_o for_o they_o to_o put_v down_o all_o

consider_v what_o cause_n there_o may_v be_v find_v of_o the_o great_a hatred_n which_o caluinist_n bear_v unto_o jesuyte_n and_o not_o caluinist_n alone_o but_o all_o other_o sectarye_n for_o

more_o than_o in_o other_o i_o have_v the_o more_o endeavour_v to_o discern_v what_o this_o may_v be_v and_o three_o thing_n i_o have_v observe_v 1._o this_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o order_n in_o the_o catholic_a church_n that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o space_n have_v disperse_v itself_o so_o far_o over_o the_o world_n to_o make_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n know_v unto_o heathen_a and_o pagan_a people_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o order_n that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n have_v write_v so_o many_o learned_a book_n aswell_o in_o divinity_n as_o in_o all_o other_o laudable_a science_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o order_n that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n have_v have_v so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o martyr_n as_o well_o by_o the_o persecution_n of_o pagan_n as_o apostata_fw-la christian_n as_o for_o their_o exercise_n of_o devotion_n labour_n in_o preach_v hear_v of_o confession_n instruct_v and_o bring_v up_o of_o youth_n in_o learning_n without_o any_o recompense_n of_o their_o parent_n make_v of_o atonement_n where_o there_o be_v dissension_n and_o discord_n readiness_n at_o all_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n and_o night_n to_o visit_v the_o sick_a and_o to_o consolate_v their_o soul_n be_v not_o now_o needful_a here_o to_o be_v speak_v at_o large_a but_o when_o i_o well_o consider_v their_o manifold_a deed_n of_o devotion_n and_o charity_n i_o remember_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o jew_n when_o for_o his_o good_a deed_n they_o will_v have_v stone_v he_o to_o death_n i_o have_v wrought_v many_o good_a work_n among_o you_o for_o which_o of_o those_o will_v you_o stone_v i_o envy_n be_v the_o deadly_a enemy_n of_o virtue_n and_o of_o wel-prospering_a the_o jesuit_n thanks_n be_v to_o god_n do_v go_v well_o forward_o in_o all_o their_o work_n of_o piety_n and_o for_o these_o sectarye_n will_v stone_n they_o and_o be_v themselves_o the_o actual_a murderer_n of_o jesuyte_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o they_o seek_v to_o rob_v &_o take_v away_o the_o good_a name_n &_o fame_n of_o those_o who_o lyve_n they_o let_v not_o to_o take_v away_o nor_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o they_o to_o colour_v their_o own_o tyrannous_a murder_n of_o jesuit_n give_v out_o that_o jesuyte_n be_v murderer_n of_o prince_n &_o potentate_n as_o if_o themselves_o do_v put_v jesuit_n to_o death_n thereby_o to_o save_v the_o lyve_n of_o prince_n &_o potentate_n which_o jesuites_n will_v else_o bereave_v they_o off_o but_o what_o love_n caluinist_n and_o principal_o holland-gewse-caluinistes_a do_v bear_v unto_o prince_n themselves_o do_v now_o adays_o the_o long_o the_o more_o make_v better_o know_v unto_o the_o great_a prince_n of_o christendom_n than_o they_o can_v make_v know_v unto_o they_o that_o jesuit_n be_v murderer_n of_o they_o and_o of_o potentate_n the_o hollander_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o you_o have_v here_o manifest_v unto_o i_o much_o more_o than_o before_o i_o ever_o know_v or_o hear_v of_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o can_v be_v perceive_v that_o the_o jesuit_n have_v have_v any_o hand_n in_o the_o death_n of_o any_o of_o the_o eight_o prince_n here_o by_o you_o mention_v it_o shall_v seem_v they_o have_v have_v knowledge_n of_o intention_n of_o murder_a prince_n as_o of_o queen_n elizabeth_n of_o
