baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n be_v ordain_v by_o our_o lord_n so_o be_v it_o common_o believe_v that_o all_o those_o other_o thing_n term_v sacrament_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n by_o he_o institute_v at_o length_n bell_n begin_v to_o be_v baptize_v which_o practice_n what_o else_o do_v it_o but_o occasion_n the_o simple_a people_n to_o think_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o man_n be_v of_o the_o same_o importance_n with_o that_o baptism_n they_o see_v practise_v upon_o the_o bell_n whereby_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o wash_n away_o of_o sin_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n signify_v by_o the_o wash_n with_o water_n be_v abolish_v now_o this_o make_v much_o to_o hide_v the_o cozenage_n and_o deceit_n when_o there_o be_v a_o colourable_a pretence_n so_o as_o the_o innovator_n may_v seem_v not_o to_o bring_v in_o any_o new_a thing_n but_o to_o desire_v the_o preservation_n of_o doctrine_n receive_v by_o some_o weak_a ceremony_n and_o observation_n wherefore_o when_o the_o first_o christian_n or_o rather_o those_o which_o succeed_v the_o first_o grow_v very_o remiss_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o former_a heat_n of_o piety_n which_o be_v common_o see_v when_o man_n cease_v to_o be_v exercise_v by_o affliction_n and_o so_o grow_v less_o frequent_a in_o the_o exercise_n of_o break_v of_o bread_n some_o one_o peradventure_o there_o be_v who_o judge_v it_o a_o very_a good_a course_n that_o the_o priest_n at_o least_o shall_v frequent_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o multitude_n and_o by_o so_o do_v celebrate_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o will_v be_v all_o one_o in_o a_o manner_n as_o if_o the_o bystander_n have_v all_o of_o they_o communicate_v and_o participate_v thereof_o in_o which_o practice_n true_o a_o man_n will_v not_o think_v there_o be_v any_o innovation_n but_o only_o a_o care_n show_v to_o preserve_v so_o wholesome_a a_o ordinance_n of_o our_o lord_n from_o grow_v quite_o out_o of_o use_n which_o be_v grow_v into_o a_o custom_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v do_v whole_o to_o commemorate_v that_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o lord_n offer_v for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o term_n of_o priest_n be_v not_o want_v it_o give_v occasion_n to_o some_o to_o attribute_v the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v to_o the_o thing_n signify_v so_o as_o to_o call_v

wonder_v that_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v account_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o so_o while_o every_o day_n there_o be_v innovation_n make_v yet_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v little_o which_o be_v change_v and_o some_o very_a goodly_a pretext_n be_v ever_o in_o readiness_n the_o innovation_n can_v not_o be_v perceive_v so_o that_o at_o length_n the_o most_o plain_a and_o simple_a institution_n of_o our_o

diligent_o consider_v will_v easy_o observe_v that_o the_o like_a have_v happen_v touch_v all_o other_o point_n in_o those_o that_o be_v the_o teacher_n in_o case_n they_o corrupt_v any_o point_n the_o main_a cause_n why_o such_o their_o corruption_n be_v not_o discern_v be_v the_o great_a opinion_n which_o man_n have_v of_o their_o piety_n holiness_n and_o learning_n and_o their_o be_v think_v to_o stand_v very_o much_o affect_v to_o the_o doctrine_n receive_v now_o such_o a_o opinion_n as_o this_o with_o the_o people_n a_o man_n attain_v either_o by_o give_v some_o eminent_a proof_n of_o himself_o or_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v of_o great_a repute_n or_o by_o right_n as_o it_o be_v of_o inheritance_n he_o give_v a_o good_a proof_n of_o himself_o who_o do_v acute_o and_o fluent_o discourse_v of_o matter_n divine_a and_o by_o often_o cite_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o good_a purpose_n show_v himself_o well_o verse_v in_o such_o study_n but_o especial_o if_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o eager_a opposer_n of_o such_o doctrine_n as_o the_o people_n abhor_v and_o a_o great_a honourer_n and_o reverencer_n of_o such_o person_n as_o the_o people_n high_o account_v of_o now_o the_o testimony_n of_o man_n approve_v beget_v a_o good_a opinion_n in_o the_o people_n because_o man_n be_v persuade_v that_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o gravity_n and_o prudence_n they_o will_v witness_v nothing_o but_o that_o whereof_o they_o have_v a_o certain_a knowledge_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v very_o often_o see_v that_o by_o simulation_n flattery_n and_o other_o art_n the_o overgreat_a facility_n of_o good_a man_n be_v so_o overcome_v and_o wrought_v upon_o as_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o commend_v such_o person_n of_o who_o piety_n and_o learning_n they_o have_v small_a knowledge_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n however_o their_o testimony_n be_v draw_v from_o they_o yet_o the_o simple_a common_a people_n do_v yield_v thereunto_o no_o less_o credit_n then_o if_o they_o be_v oracle_n some_o man_n gain_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o themselves_o as_o it_o be_v by_o right_a of_o inheritance_n when_o as_o they_o succeed_v in_o place_n such_o person_n who_o life_n and_o doctrine_n have_v be_v very_o much_o approve_v of_o for_o it_o seem_v a_o likely_a thing_n that_o none_o but_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v put_v into_o the_o place_n of_o good_a man_n and_o so_o the_o reputation_n of_o honesty_n and_o learning_n be_v transfer_v from_o the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o even_o as_o inheritance_n pass_v from_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n nevertheless_o even_o as_o those_o who_o from_o a_o low_a and_o mean_a estate_n have_v by_o great_a labour_n and_o difficulty_n attain_v great_a wealth_n leave_v their_o child_n heir_n of_o thei●_n good_n indeed_o and_o all_o their_o possession_n but_o not_o of_o their_o industry_n and_o wit_n forasmuch_o as_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o wealth_n they_o find_v no_o need_n to_o exercise_v their_o wit_n even_o so_o those_o man_n who_o be_v at_o certain_a season_n stire_v up_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o purge_v the_o church_n from_o error_n since_o they_o can_v but_o be_v exercise_v with_o great_a and_o knotty_a difficulty_n they_o must_v be_v of_o necessity_n arm_v with_o very_o excellent_a virtue_n and_o so_o become_v famous_a whereas_o their_o successor_n matter_n be_v reduce_v into_o order_n and_o compose_v and_o satan_n deal_v now_o no_o long_o by_o force_n but_o by_o craft_n and_o policy_n which_o they_o be_v not_o aware_a of_o they_o meet_v with_o no_o considerable_a occasion_n to_o exercise_v their_o piety_n and_o prudence_n yet_o nevertheless_o though_o they_o be_v far_o inferior_a in_o virtue_n yet_o in_o outward_a appearance_n as_o they_o hold_v the_o place_n of_o their_o predecessor_n so_o do_v they_o retain_v their_o dignity_n and_o reputation_n and_o by_o how_o much_o the_o far_o you_o descend_v from_o those_o first_o so_o much_o the_o more_o unlike_a shall_v you_o find_v their_o successor_n and_o the_o more_o estrange_v from_o their_o virtue_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o same_o or_o great_a authority_n abide_v with_o very_o little_a piety_n prudence_n learning_n and_o hearty_a diligence_n who_o see_v not_o how_o easy_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o may_v daily_o through_o unskilfulness_n corrupt_v many_o point_n and_o no_o man_n discern_v the_o same_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o authority_n and_o reputation_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o like_a pastor_n may_v by_o little_a and_o little_o be_v bring_v into_o place_n by_o who_o mean_n satan_n hope_v to_o procure_v a_o great_a and_o speedy_a corruption_n of_o doctrine_n it_o be_v a_o great_a furtherance_n if_o so_o be_v such_o thing_n shall_v be_v annex_v to_o ecclesiastical_a function_n as_o shall_v make_v they_o much_o to_o be_v desire_v as_o for_o pastor_n to_o be_v high_o esteem_v of_o to_o have_v all_o man_n rise_v unto_o they_o and_o give_v they_o place_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v well_o accommodate_v and_o live_v in_o abundance_n of_o wealth_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v account_v such_o as_o
