this_o place_n need_v no_o interpretation_n at_o all_o s●●●e_v it_o in_o such_o plain_a term_n and_o word_n speak_v of_o they_o that_o believe_v now_o who_o be_v he_o that_o see_v not_o how_o monstruous_o these_o polleshorne_a greasy_a popelynge_v err_v and_o fail_v in_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o we_o entry_n not_o the_o name_n that_o they_o call_v themselves_o by_o whether_o it_o be_v priest_n or_o otherwise_o for_o we_o make_v not_o any_o care_n what_o and_o how_o they_o call_v theim selue_o but_o herein_o stand_v the_o question_n whether_o in_o the_o

and_o office_n of_o minister_n of_o the_o worde_n to_o feed_v the_o congregation_n by_o preach_v and_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v all_o priest_n as_o many_o of_o we_o as_o be_v christian_n for_o see_v that_o we_o be_v found_v and_o couch_v upon_o that_o stone_n which_o be_v the_o high_a priest_n before_o god_n we_o also_o must_v needs_o be_v priest_n also_o for_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v we_o have_v and_o thesame_n be_v we_o wherefore_o i_o will_v wish_v that_o this_o word_n priest_n as_o well_o as_o this_o name_n christian_n shall_v be_v common_a to_o all_o for_o these_o name_n priest_n christian_n and_o baptise_a be_v all_o one_o now_o as_o i_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o these_o popish_a shavelynge_v shall_v thus_o

holy_a and_o church_n and_o even_o as_o thou_o do_v not_o call_v any_o man_n a_o christian_n because_o he_o have_v much_o money_n and_o wealth_n but_o because_o he_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o aforesaid_a stone_n believe_v in_o christ_n so_o likewise_o be_v thou_o not_o therefore_o call_v priest_n because_o thou_o haste_v a_o shave_a crown_n and_o jet_v the_o street_n in_o a_o long_a gown_n but_o because_o thou_o dare_v appear_v and_o show_v thyself_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n offer_v up_o thyself_o unto_o he_o and_o pray_v for_o the_o whole_a church_n unto_o who_o thou_o both_o
