enoch_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v believe_v before_o the_o flood_n we_o believe_v as_o abraham_n isaac_n &_o jaacob_n do_v believe_v &_o the_o other_o godly_a patriarch_n before_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n we_o believe_v as_o the_o bless_a apostle_n of_o our_o lord_n &_o other_o holy_a teacher_n in_o the_o church_n a_o long_a time_n after_o they_o do_v but_o you_o

that_o you_o believe_v as_o the_o holy_a father_n before_o the_o flow_v as_o the_o patriarch_n after_o the_o flood_n as_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n then_o doubtless_o you_o be_v in_o the_o right_a

this_o reason_n because_o you_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o the_o faith_n of_o those_o forefather_n which_o succeed_v these_o for_o the_o father_n of_o our_o church_n be_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o

you_o boast_v of_o from_o who_o we_o separate_v ourselves_o be_v no_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o in_o depart_v from_o they_o we_o depart_v not_o from_o the_o apostle_n who_o doctrine_n we_o hold_v pa._n what_o be_v you_o the_o better_a to_o say_v you_o bring_v the_o scripture_n and_o you_o believe_v nothing_o but_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v be_v try_v by_o the_o scripture_n by_o this_o you_o prove_v that_o you_o believe_v as_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n do_v your_o reason_n be_v not_o good_a because_o the_o scripture_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v

not_o the_o church_n if_o you_o may_v take_v they_o after_o your_o own_o interpretation_n than_o you_o will_v do_v well_o enough_o but_o the_o church_n which_o we_o be_v be_v to_o interpret_v they_o

prove_v it_o pro._n oh_o what_o a_o trim_a shift_n be_v this_o here_o be_v as_o pretty_a a_o juggle_a cast_n as_o ever_o the_o devil_n can_v play_v to_o blear_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o simple_a and_o

that_o in_o no_o wise_a they_o may_v be_v understand_v or_o have_v any_o certainty_n in_o they_o but_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o clergy_n for_o that_o be_v most_o

god_n word_n which_o stand_v sure_a on_o our_o side_n and_o make_v flat_a against_o you_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v expound_v right_o but_o one_o way_n have_v but_o one_o sense_n pa._n that_o which_o you_o do_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n peter_n do_v make_v for_o we_o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a do_v pervert_v not_o only_o those_o hard_a thing_n but_o also_o all_o other_o scripture_n to_o their_o destruction_n 1._o 2._o pet._n 1._o likewise_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v that_o no_o scripture_n be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n s._n paul_n say_v 3._o 1._o tim._n 3._o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n &_o ground_n of_o truth_n then_o i_o reason_v thus_o the_o unlearned_a do_v pervert_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o deal_v with_o they_o no_o private_a person_n be_v to_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o none_o but_o the_o church_n or_o those_o which_o have_v the_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n

it_o do_v represent_v and_o now_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o you_o play_v the_o beast_n that_o way_n so_o now_o you_o play_v the_o part_n of_o subtle_a fool_n which_o in_o seduce_v other_o deceive_v yourselves_o for_o this_o difference_n which_o you_o make_v between_o latria_fw-la and_o dulia_n be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o beside_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v forbid_v
