best_a writer_n on_o both_o side_n and_o though_o i_o hearty_o wish_v to_o find_v the_o cause_n i_o hitherto_o maintain_v justify_v for_o not_o to_o run_v into_o the_o terrible_a inconvenience_n which_o human_a consideration_n represent_v to_o i_o in_o a_o change_n yet_o assist_v by_o divine_a grace_n and_o take_v for_o rule_n of_o my_o action_n the_o service_n and_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o eternity_n i_o resolve_v constant_o to_o adhere_v to_o the_o party_n which_o with_o better_a ground_n will_v render_v i_o secure_v of_o this_o high_a emolument_fw-fr when_o be_v in_o these_o consideration_n sudden_o issue_v out_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n proclamation_n for_o banish_v the_o roman_a clergy_n wherewith_o i_o see_v myself_o betwixt_o two_o extremity_n either_o to_o continue_v far_o in_o the_o country_n with_o my_o ambiguity_n in_o disobedience_n to_o my_o sovereign_n command_n or_o to_o go_v into_o spain_n and_o there_o be_v force_v to_o preach_v and_o practice_v doctrine_n my_o conscience_n do_v not_o approve_v of_o and_o for_o a_o speedy_a resolution_n after_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o god_n for_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o divine_a light_n in_o so_o weighty_a a_o matter_n i_o pen_v down_o for_o better_a consideration_n the_o reason_n i_o do_v hear_v read_v and_o conceive_v against_o the_o romish_a tenant_n controvert_v i_o do_v also_o careful_o peruse_v and_o serious_o reflect_v upon_o the_o 39_o article_n canon_n and_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o all_o consider_v well_o i_o do_v conclude_v the_o way_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v safe_a for_o my_o salvation_n than_o that_o of_o the_o roman_a church_n wherefore_o i_o resolve_v to_o declare_v as_o i_o do_v hereby_o serious_o and_o in_o my_o heart_n without_o any_o equivocation_n or_o mental_a reservation_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o this_o congregation_n declare_v that_o i_o do_v give_v my_o full_a and_o free_a assent_n to_o the_o 39_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o holy_a and_o wise_a &_o ground_v upon_o the_o infallible_a word_n of_o god_n acknowledge_v the_o romish_a tenant_n against_o they_o to_o be_v false_a and_o superstitious_a especial_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n as_o force_v upon_o christian_n a_o belief_n of_o monstrous_a miracle_n repugnant_a to_o human_a reason_n and_o not_o ground_v upon_o divine_a testimony_n nor_o necessary_a either_o for_o verify_v christ_n word_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n or_o for_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o not_o for_o verify_v the_o word_n whereas_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o like_a tenor_n that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a vine_n without_o real_a alteration_n in_o his_o person_n or_o in_o the_o vine_n nor_o for_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n christ_n be_v able_a to_o annex_v unto_o the_o receive_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n what_o spiritual_a grate_v he_o please_v without_o alteration_n of_o the_o element_n as_o he_o do_v afford_v the_o spiritual_a grace_n of_o regeneration_n in_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n without_o alteration_n in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o water_n and_o lest_o a_o imagination_n of_o some_o temporal_a or_o sinistrous_a intention_n in_o this_o my_o declaration_n upon_o the_o present_a conjuncture_n may_v hinder_v the_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o soul_n may_v reap_v by_o it_o i_o have_v grave_a testimony_n to_o show_v and_o do_v already_o show_v they_o to_o my_o renown_a lord_n archbishop_n his_o grace_n which_o assure_v i_o do_v enjoy_v in_o spain_n and_o may_v now_o enjoy_v with_o more_o advantage_n go_v thither_o upon_o the_o account_n i_o be_v to_o go_v such_o degree_n of_o honour_n and_o commodity_n as_o possible_o i_o may_v not_o expect_v elsewhere_o so_o as_o look_v upon_o a_o voyage_n thither_o continue_v my_o former_a profession_n nothing_o occur_v to_o my_o mind_n but_o pleasure_n applause_n and_o honour_n and_o turn_v my_o eye_n upon_o my_o present_a resolution_n mountain_n of_o cross_n and_o danger_n do_v fright_v i_o but_o in_o this_o perplexity_n i_o have_v choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v cross_n here_o with_o sarisfaction_n of_o conscience_n than_o to_o enjoy_v honour_n that_o other_o way_n accompany_v with_o the_o torture_n of_o a_o check_v conscience_n and_o the_o unworthiness_n of_o a_o

myself_o for_o far_a confirmation_n of_o all_o this_o i_o have_v hereunto_o subscribe_v my_o name_n andrew_n sall._n st._n mat._n xxiv_o 15_o 16_o 17_o 18._o when_o you_o therefore_o shall_v see_v the_o abomination_n of_o desolation_n speak_v of_o by_o daniel_n the_o prephet_n stand_v in_o the_o holy_a place_n whoso_o read_v let_v he_o understand_v then_o let_v they_o which_o be_v in_o judea_n

the_o first_o opinion_n follow_v by_o st._n jerome_n be_v that_o by_o this_o abomination_n of_o desolation_n may_v be_v understand_v the_o image_n of_o caesar_n which_o pilate_n set_v up_o in_o the_o

to_o his_o own_o time_n which_o to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v most_o abominable_a render_v the_o temple_n desolate_a and_o void_a of_o divine_a praise_n the_o faithful_a desert_v the_o city_n

opinion_n follow_v by_o very_o learned_a interpreter_n and_o attribute_v to_o st._n chrysostom_n be_v that_o by_o this_o abomination_n be_v understand_v the_o roman_a army_n under_o titus_n come_v to_o besiege_v jerusalem_n and_o ready_a to_o fill_v the_o city_n with_o their_o banner_n bear_v in_o they_o the_o image_n of_o caesar_n and_o his_o eagle_n which_o to_o the_o jew_n be_v abominable_a
