for_o christ_n sake_n and_o behold_v our_o jesuite_n at_o a_o great_a non_fw-fr plus_fw-fr i_o have_v prove_v both_o by_o the_o scripture_n out_o of_o saint_n john_n and_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o

reason_n will_n and_o law_n now_o our_o friar_n be_v indeed_o at_o his_o wit_n end_n know_v not_o what_o answer_n to_o make_v but_o say_v at_o randon_n that_o the_o father_n only_o define_v mortal_a

be_v as_o good_a as_o no_o obligation_n the_o father_n define_v sin_n general_o they_o make_v no_o exception_n at_o all_o yet_o our_o jesuite_n will_v needs_o have_v they_o to_o define_v only_o

and_o i_o prove_v it_o because_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o ancient_a father_n and_o the_o doctor_n do_v define_v sin_n to_o be_v so_o yet_o our_o jesuite_n think_v it_o enough_o bare_o to_o

father_n say_v our_o fatherly_a jesuite_n define_v mortal_a sin_n not_o venial_a even_o so_o sorsooth_o for_o why_o shall_v they_o define_v that_o which_o be_v not_o the_o father_n be_v wise_a they_o know_v that_o every_o sin_n in_o it_o own_o nature_n deserve_a death_n and_o therefore_o define_v sin_n according_o they_o know_v 23_o that_o saint_n paul_n say_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v

iniquity_n must_v needs_o be_v take_v for_o mortal_a sin_n for_o as_o our_o jesuite_n say_v venial_a sin_n do_v not_o break_v friendship_n with_o god_n and_o i_o may_v presume_v to_o affirm_v of_o holy_a david_n that_o he_o command_v not_o they_o to_o depart_v from_o he_o who_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n no_o no_o god_n love_v not_o those_o that_o work_n iniquity_n three_o 273._o that_o

for_o a_o constant_a position_n and_o sound_a doctrine_n that_o every_o sin_n be_v mortal_a of_o it_o own_o nature_n our_o doctrine_n therefore_o be_v the_o same_o which_o great_a learned_a papist_n do_v defend_v and_o i_o must_v needs_o here_o put_v the_o reader_n in_o mind_n of_o the_o newness_n of_o late_a romish_a religion_n viz_n that_o venial_a sin_n be_v never_o know_v to_o the_o church_n

likewise_o insinuate_v to_o the_o reader_n another_o point_n of_o great_a importance_n viz_n that_o the_o pope_n act_n be_v repute_v the_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o no_o part_n of_o romish_a religion_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n until_o it_o please_v the_o pope_n so_o to_o appoint_v it_o now_o for_o fisher_n and_o gerson_n the_o one_o be_v a_o cannonized_a popish_a saint_n the_o other_o a_o popish_a bishop_n but_o these_o be_v not_o matter_n to_o stand_v upon_o though_o they_o help_v our_o jesuite_n to_o pass_v over_o the_o time_n and_o to_o dazzle_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o reader_n s._n r._n he_o conclude_v this_o article_n with_o this_o goodly_a reason_n 281_o one_o steal_v just_a so_o many_o egg_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v a_o mortal_a sin_n another_o steal_v one_o less_o but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o god_n may_v just_o condemn_v the_o one_o to_o hell_n and_o not_o the_o other_o therefore_o they_o both_o sin_n mortal_o alike_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v by_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o judge_n may_v condemn_v he_o to_o death_n that_o steal_v thirteen_o penny_n half_a penny_n and_o not_o he_o that_o steal_v one_o penny_n less_o if_o he_o answer_v because_o the_o law_n condemn_v one_o and_o not_o the_o other_o i_o ask_v again_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o that_o the_o law_n be_v make_v against_o the_o one_o and_o

distinction_n between_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n late_o invent_v by_o the_o pope_n do_v so_o trouble_v our_o jesuite_n after_o his_o consultation_n with_o his_o best_a learned_a friend_n that_o he_o can_v shape_v i_o no_o answer_n touch_v a_o few_o egg_n glad_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o say_v something_o yet_o after_o he_o have_v weary_v himself_o with_o struggle_v against_o the_o truth_n he_o be_v where_o he_o first_o begin_v not_o know_v how_o to_o answer_v he_o demand_v two_o question_n and_o that_o do_v he_o tell_v i_o i_o must_v answer_v myself_o this_o notwithstanding_o after_o better_a advisement_n and_o consideration_n have_v of_o the_o matter_n he_o pretend_v to_o show_v a_o reason_n of_o both_o his_o own_o question_n but_o howsoever_o that_o be_v which_o be_v indeed_o a_o mere_a mockery_n he_o leave_v my_o argument_n untouched_a let_v we_o suppose_v for_o explication_n sake_n that_o egg_n worth_a thirteen_o penny_n half_a penny_n make_v a_o mortal_a sin_n and_o that_o god_n may_v just_o condemn_v he_o that_o steal_v they_o as_o also_o a_o mortal_a judge_n among_o mortal_a man_n let_v we_o likewise_o suppose_v for_o example_n sake_n that_o neither_o the_o

nay_o this_o be_v my_o assertion_n that_o there_o can_v no_o good_a reason_n be_v yield_v why_o god_n may_v just_o condemn_v the_o one_o to_o hell_n and_o not_o the_o other_o to_o answer_v as_o the_o jesuite_n do_v after_o he_o have_v deep_o ponder_v the_o matter_n that_o one_o be_v a_o notable_a injury_n to_o our_o neighbour_n not_o so_o the_o other_o be_v too_o teo_fw-la childish_a and_o frivolous_a for_o if_o thirteen_o penny_n half_a penny_n be_v a_o notable_a injury_n so_o be_v also_o twelve_o penny_n one_o penny_n doubtless_o can_v make_v mortal_a and_o venial_a difference_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o the_o purpose_n to_o say_v as_o our_o jesuite_n do_v viz._n that_o the_o civil_a judge_n can_v condemn_v the_o thief_n that_o steal_v one_o penny_n less_o the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o civil_a judge_n be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o subject_n to_o it_o but_o god_n omnipotent_a be_v above_o his_o law_n and_o may_v dispense_v with_o it_o at_o his_o good_a

matter_n to_o the_o bottom_n for_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o great_a consequence_n first_o then_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o the_o supreme_a civil_a magistrate_n may_v as_o lawful_o appoint_v death_n for_o steal_v of_o twelve_o penny_n as_o for_o 13._o penny_n half_a penny_n for_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n be_v whole_o arbitrary_a to_o the_o judge_n he_o must_v frame_v his_o

mortal_a against_o this_o false_a ground_n of_o popery_n do_v i_o now_o contend_v we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o a_o thief_n may_v as_o well_o be_v condemn_v to_o die_v for_o twelve_o penny_n as_o for_o more_o even_o so_o then_o god_n à_fw-la fortiori_fw-la may_v as_o just_o condemn_v one_o for_o a_o popish_a venial_a sin_n as_o for_o a_o mortal_a for_o every_o sin_n deserve_v death_n of_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v it_o more_o be_v it_o less_o yea_o if_o any_o sin_n shall_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v venial_a they_o shall_v original_a sin_n in_o a_o infant_n be_v venial_a most_o of_o all_o because_o the_o infant_n neither_o can_v avoid_v it_o neither_o have_v any_o will_n to_o do_v it_o i_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o
