hear_v theophilus_n i_o believe_v that_o that_o god_n of_o the_o priest_n defend_v himself_o as_o well_o from_o the_o fire_n as_o he_o defend_v himself_o from_o the_o mouse_n worm_n &_o spider_n when_o they_o substaivice_n do_v eat_v he_o and_o that_o even_o as_o they_o live_v of_o the_o accident_n without_o the_o substance_n so_o have_v the_o fire_n burn_v the_o accident_n without_o the_o substance_n and_o accord_v to_o the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o scholastical_a divine_n against_o the_o sentence_n of_o aristotle_n and_o of_o all_o the_o old_a philosopher_n one_o may_v easy_o find_v accident_n quality_n and_o quantity_n without_o substance_n without_o body_n and_o subject_n yet_o nevertheless_o if_o they_o do_v well_o consider_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o fire_n they_o shall_v be_v contrain_a to_o allow_v my_o opinion_n and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o they_o will_v worship_n the_o fire_n ●_o which_o have_v the_o only_a virtue_n to_o purge_v sin_n to_o wit_n the_o same_o with_o which_o jesus_n christ_n baptize_v which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n hillarius_n i_o do_v also_o desire_v that_o they_o will_v worship_v that_o water_n of_o life_n the_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v promise_v which_o be_v the_o same_o holy_a ghost_n but_o they_o have_v rather_o make_v the_o material_a water_n a_o god_n of_o which_o we_o may_v lawful_o say_v as_o we_o have_v say_v of_o the_o fire_n for_o if_o they_o do_v make_v a_o god_n of_o the_o fire_n they_o must_v in_o like_a manner_n make_v a_o goddess_n of_o the_o water_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v have_v god_n and_o goddess_n &_o a_o vulcan_n a_o vesta_n thetis_n or_o amphittite_n water_n leucothea_n or_o naiades_n &_o nymph_n goddess_n of_o the_o water_n as_o well_o as_o the_o paynim_n have_v for_o many_o time_n they_o attribute_v unto_o it_o as_o much_o virtue_n as_o to_o the_o fire_n &_o sometime_o more_o for_o if_o their_o water_n do_v quench_v &_o put_v out_o in_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n it_o have_v as_o much_o virtue_n &_o more_o they_o god_n canopus_n furthermore_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o their_o aquatical_a theology_n and_o the_o same_o of_o the_o ibolatrous_a greek_n the_o which_o the_o roman_n have_v learn_v of_o they_o theology_n even_o as_o the_o papist_n of_o the_o ancient_a roman_n as_o we_o may_v judge_v by_o that_o which_o ovid_n have_v write_v say_v our_o old_a man_n think_v and_o do_v believe_v 2._o and_o in_o that_o hope_n do_v dwell_v that_o sin_n by_o purge_v lose_v be_v purgation_n and_o so_o let_v not_o to_o tell_v greece_n be_v the_o first_o this_o order_n give_v and_o therewith_o do_v suppose_v offender_n to_o be_v rid_v from_o sin_n and_o so_o let_v not_o to_o gloze_v theophilus_n that_o doctrine_n shall_v he_o good_a if_o it_o refer_v

hillarius_n they_o understand_v that_o of_o their_o purgation_n of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v off_o and_o chief_o of_o the_o water_n of_o which_o superstition_n the_o paynim_n themselves_o do_v

of_o persius_n a_o above_o allege_v pretend_v to_o the_o same_o as_o well_o as_o those_o here_o of_o ovid_n which_o i_o will_v now_o rehearse_v ah_o too_o light_a credit_n do_v they_o give_v 2._o which_o do_v suppose_v and_o think_v that_o that_o same_o fault_n of_o murder_n shall_v by_o water_n be_v extinct_a eusebius_n we_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n altogether_o differ_v from_o the_o same_o for_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o through_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o holy_a water_n the_o mortal_a 13._o sin_n be_v put_v away_o but_o only_o the_o venial_a sin_n theophilus_n they_o be_v

persevere_v in_o their_o sin_n without_o do_v repentance_n and_o run_v unto_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o unto_o god_n elect_v all_o sin_n be_v venial_a not_o by_o their_o nature_n but_o by_o the_o
