of_o which_o by_o the_o way_n i_o have_v say_v somewhat_o before_o concern_v the_o impure_a single_a life_n of_o priest_n concern_v the_o superstition_n hypocrisy_n and_o tyranny_n of_o the_o

rite_n of_o paganism_n in_o the_o life_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o christian_n of_o the_o former_a age_n of_o so_o many_o snare_n of_o man_n conscience_n of_o the_o feign_a miracle_n of_o saint_n &_o almost_o six_o hundred_o such_o like_a device_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o every_o man_n will_v by_o these_o few_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o easy_o conjecture_v the_o rest_n which_o remain_v which_o be_v very_o many_o for_o as_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v show_v sufficient_o what_o have_v be_v the_o state_n of_o christianity_n now_o of_o late_a year_n and_o many_o age_n past_a and_o i_o have_v declare_v what_o superstition_n what_o fault_n what_o abuse_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n i_o beseech_v god_n the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n prayer_n jesus_n christ_n that_o as_o he_o have_v restore_v the_o light_n of_o his_o gospel_n to_o those_o which_o heretofore_o be_v compass_v with_o the_o thick_a cloud_n of_o error_n so_o he_o will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o may_v be_v convert_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n final_o from_o the_o vain_a superstition_n of_o their_o ancestor_n and_o forefather_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o true_a godliness_n amen_n the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o discourse_n wherein_o be_v declare_v what_o have_v be_v amend_v and_o correct_v by_o our_o man_n in_o ecclesiastical_a doctrine_n now_o will_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o book_n and_o we_o will_v brief_o declare_v what_o have_v be_v now_o at_o length_n amend_v and_o reform_v christ_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n first_o therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a to_o all_o man_n at_o this_o day_n that_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n till_o now_o there_o have_v always_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n to_o obtain_v salvation_n by_o namely_o by_o the_o sole_a and_o only_o trust_v and_o confidence_n in_o christ_n who_o the_o godly_a do_v believe_v shall_v come_v as_o the_o saviour_n promise_v to_o adam_n and_o to_o the_o old_a father_n even_o from_o the_o original_n of_o the_o world_n who_o we_o now_o believe_v to_o be_v come_v already_o at_o a_o determinate_a time_n and_o to_o have_v bring_v salvation_n unto_o mankind_n for_o our_o faith_n also_o at_o this_o day_n be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o final_o of_o the_o whole_a people_n of_o israel_n in_o one_o time_n past_a because_o they_o expect_v and_o wait_v for_o that_o to_o come_v which_o we_o do_v believe_v to_o be_v already_o do_v now_o though_o we_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n that_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o patriarch_n be_v exceed_o great_a which_o without_o all_o doubt_n be_v singular_a and_o most_o notable_a patriarch_n notwithstanding_o they_o be_v save_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o redeemer_n of_o mankind_n then_o promise_v to_o they_o now_o exhibit_v to_o we_o who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o the_o holy_a father_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o christian_n in_o word_n but_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v christian_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o common_a deed_n faith_n and_o belief_n in_o christ_n who_o they_o do_v hope_n will_v come_v who_o we_o do_v believe_v to_o be_v come_v long_o ago_o therefore_o all_o man_n must_v look_v for_o salvation_n from_o this_o one_o and_o only_a christ_n neither_o be_v there_o among_o man_n any_o other_o name_n give_v as_o s._n peter_n say_v 12._o whereby_o we_o must_v be_v save_v for_o to_o this_o christ_n give_v all_o the_o prophet_n witness_n that_o through_o his_o name_n all_o that_o 43._o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n see_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o who_o will_v not_o marvel_n papist_n much_o at_o the_o blindness_n of_o the_o christian_n both_o in_o our_o memory_n and_o in_o former_a age_n which_o do_v attribute_v that_o to_o man_n merit_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o christ_n alone_o for_o that_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v which_o we_o have_v before_o declare_v more_o at_o large_a to_o wit_n that_o mortal_a man_n do_v not_o heretofore_o trust_v so_o much_o to_o the_o goodness_n clemency_n bounty_n mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o god_o alone_o nor_o so_o much_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n only_o for_o our_o sin_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o dignity_n and_o worthiness_n of_o their_o own_o work_v for_o whitherto_o tend_v confidence_n so_o many_o rite_n and_o form_n of_o worship_v god_o find_v out_o and_o ordain_v by_o man_n so_o many_o will_v woorshippe_n so_o many_o fraternity_n so_o manifold_a variety_n of_o mass_n moreover_o pilgrimage_n pardon_n a_o monastical_a life_n voluntary_a beat_n and_o also_o whip_n of_o our_o own_o body_n hunger_n watch_n lie_n upon_o the_o bare_a ground_n and_o who_o can_v rehearse_v all_o whereto_o say_v i_o do_v we_o believe_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n do_v tend_v but_o to_o the_o obtain_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o satisfaction_n for_o offence_n to_o the_o deliverance_n from_o eternal_a death_n brief_o to_o the_o obtain_n of_o salvation_n and_o blessedness_n so_o now_o man_n ascribe_v their_o salvation_n not_o to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n &_o redeemer_n jesus_n christ_n who_o by_o his_o own_o bloodshed_n satisfy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o to_o the_o worthiness_n of_o their_o own_o work_v and_o to_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o
