before_o he_o have_v miserable_o fail_v of_o carry_v on_o the_o succession_n of_o true_a doctrine_n now_o i_o will_v be_v content_a in_o this_o matter_n to_o make_v you_o the_o judge_n that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o lawful_a pastor_n who_o want_v succession_n of_o doctrine_n whether_o the_o unlawful_a one_o be_v those_o who_o break_v the_o succession_n of_o it_o at_o first_o or_o those_o that_o

instead_o of_o it_o for_o i_o think_v that_o order_n and_o regularity_n of_o episcopal_a succession_n will_v suffice_v to_o make_v they_o lawful_a bishop_n who_o for_o corrupt_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v not_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v good_a one_o i_o have_v one_o word_n more_o to_o say_v and_o then_o you_o shall_v speak_v you_o have_v hear_v i_o perceive_v from_o some_o of_o your_o friend_n that_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n for_o nine_o age_n before_o cranmer_n be_v roman_a chtholicks_n now_o their_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o the_o archbishop_n of_o

though_o you_o know_v not_o these_o matter_n and_o it_o may_v be_v not_o they_o neither_o yet_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o very_o many_o of_o your_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v not_o only_o

the_o corrupt_a doctrine_n of_o your_o church_n be_v of_o a_o much_o late_a date_n than_o for_o you_o to_o talk_v as_o you_o do_v of_o nine_o age_n before_o cranmer_n sect._n 16_o quer._n whether_o

like_a for_o these_o can_v hardly_o be_v say_v to_o be_v lawful_a pastor_n make_v your_o query_n plain_a and_o i_o have_v a_o plain_a answer_n for_o you_o which_o perhaps_o you_o little_o think_v of_o

oppose_v to_o the_o error_n and_o innovation_n which_o your_o church_n hold_v for_o article_n of_o faith._n now_o as_o to_o these_o doctrine_n we_o do_v not_o esteem_v they_o in_o the_o same_o rank_n with_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n because_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n necessary_a to_o be_v propound_v to_o all_o in_o order_n to_o their_o salvation_n but_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v teach_v the_o faithful_a in_o these_o part_n of_o christendom_n to_o secure_v they_o from_o the_o contagion_n of_o those_o error_n you_o have_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n for_o instance_n if_o you_o have_v not_o set_v up_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o of_o a_o determination_n of_o this_o church_n against_o it_o nor_o have_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o instruct_v our_o people_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o to_o be_v pray_v unto_o have_v not_o your_o church_n invent_v the_o article_n of_o transubstantiation_n we_o have_v not_o oppose_v a_o contrary_a article_n to_o it_o now_o as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a article_n of_o our_o church_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o necessary_a but_o only_o profitable_a but_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o teach_v it_o because_o as_o you_o have_v order_v matter_n to_o be_v ignorant_a thereof_o be_v very_o dangerous_a the_o contrary_a error_n be_v damnable_a for_o you_o be_v strange_o mistake_v if_o you_o think_v that_o no_o error_n be_v damnable_a but_o the_o direct_a denial_n of_o some_o truth_n which_o be_v always_o necessary_a to_o be_v propound_v to_o all_o that_o be_v of_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n strict_o and_o proper_o so_o call_v and_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o the_o best_a divine_n of_o your_o own_o church_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n there_o be_v therefore_o no_o room_n leave_v for_o your_o second_o supposition_n that_o if_o they_o be_v article_n of_o faith_n then_o have_v the_o church_n of_o england_n invent_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o wonder_v not_o a_o little_a at_o the_o boldness_n of_o your_o inference_n while_o with_o no_o better_a colour_n for_o it_o you_o will_v draw_v we_o in_o to_o be_v suspect_v of_o that_o which_o yourselves_o be_v so_o notorious_o guilty_a of_o i._n e._n of_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith._n for_o have_v not_o you_o do_v so_o we_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o occasion_n to_o oppose_v your_o invention_n so_o vigorous_o as_o we_o have_v do_v nor_o you_o any_o colour_n to_o

creed_n shall_v be_v thrust_v into_o the_o creed_n by_o one_o part_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o another_o shall_v be_v afraid_a to_o contradict_v they_o for_o fear_n of_o be_v accuse_v of_o add_v the_o contrary_a proposition_n to_o the_o creed_n too_o though_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o do_v it_o not_o but_o only_o take_v care_n to_o keep_v the_o old_a faith_n pure_a from_o new_a doctrine_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o faithful_a uncorrupted_a with_o false_a doctrine_n if_o you_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o say_v so_o i_o must_v then_o ask_v you_o whether_o ten_o thousand_o foolish_a and_o false_a nay_o and_o dangerous_a opinion_n may_v not_o by_o some_o or_o other_o be_v tack_v to_o the_o ancient_a creed_n and_o yet_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n shall_v

and_o if_o you_o intend_v to_o go_v on_o in_o this_o way_n than_o you_o shall_v hear_v far_o from_o i_o concern_v the_o sacrament_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n appear_v i_o have_v tell_v

send_v you_o back_o but_o to_o the_o last_o query_n of_o all_o where_o you_o may_v find_v it_o as_o to_o the_o second_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o people_n of_o england_n or_o for_o any_o other_o people_n to_o invent_v a_o church_n by_o which_o you_o mean_v i_o shall_v think_v to_o invent_v a_o new_a religion_n new_a doctrine_n worship_n and_o government_n but_o what_o come_v into_o your_o head_n to_o ask_v this_o question_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o imagine_v since_o our_o people_n have_v invent_v no_o new_a church_n but_o only_o retrieve_v the_o old_a whilst_o you_o all_o people_n have_v be_v the_o best_a at_o this_o invention_n and_o by_o invent_v a_o new_a creed_n and_o new_a object_n of_o worship_n and_o new_a sacrament_n and_o a_o new_a head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v effectual_o divide_v yourselves_o from_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n that_o stick_v to_o the_o old_a religion_n and_o will_v have_v none_o of_o your_o invention_n 2._o i_o must_v acquaint_v you_o that_o the_o two_o former_a branch_n of_o this_o query_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o make_v up_o a_o kind_n of_o nonsense_n between_o they_o for_o in_o the_o first_o you_o suppose_v that_o we_o pretend_v to_o have_v a_o pure_a apostolical_a service_n among_o we_o and_o in_o the_o second_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o grant_v our_o church_n to_o be_v one_o of_o our_o own_o invention_n now_o we_o may_v take_v it_o ill_o to_o have_v question_n put_v upon_o we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v such_o ninny_v as_o to_o pretend_v to_o a_o apostolical_a service_n and_o yet_o to_o grant_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v the_o inventor_n of_o it_o 3._o take_v all_o together_o and_o the_o most_o i_o can_v make_v be_v this_o that_o you_o lay_v great_a weight_n upon_o your_o presumption_n that_o by_o our_o service_n we_o stand_v divide_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n which_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o be_v notorious_o false_a but_o for_o your_o better_a instruction_n i_o shall_v add_v that_o if_o indeed_o we_o only_o have_v a_o pure_a and_o apostolical_a service_n and_o yet_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o our_o service_n no_o other_o christian_n will_v communicate_v with_o we_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n ought_v to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o but_o we_o not_o at_o all_o by_o the_o run_n of_o your_o query_n you_o seem_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o one_o of_o the_o plain_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n which_o therefore_o i_o do_v again_o commend_v to_o your_o consideration_n viz._n that_o truth_n be_v the_o same_o and_o change_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v many_o or_o few_o that_o profess_v it_o and_o that_o our_o religion_n stand_v not_o in_o a_o multitude_n of_o pretender_n but_o in_o a_o holy_a doctrine_n

in_o as_o if_o you_o can_v never_o ask_v it_o often_o enough_o but_o if_o i_o have_v not_o give_v you_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n pray_v do_v you_o try_v to_o give_v a_o better_a if_o you_o can_v to_o this_o by_o what_o authority_n do_v you_o censure_v the_o sacrament_n and_o rite_n of_o the_o english_a church_n quer._n whether_o cranmer_n be_v the_o first_o archbishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o

episcopal_a succession_n because_o be_v the_o first_o of_o his_o sect_n he_o succeed_v to_o none_o then_o how_o can_v he_o be_v a_o lawful_a pastor_n who_o have_v neither_o succession_n mission_n nor_o miracle_n to_o recommend_v his_o new_a doctrine_n i_o say_v new_a and_o strange_a at_o that_o time_n and_o for_o many_o age_n before_o sect._n 15_o answ_n he_o that_o affirm_v there_o be_v

shall_v doubt_v on_o for_o i_o if_o indeed_o cranmer_n be_v the_o first_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n then_o as_o you_o say_v he_o want_v episcopal_a succession_n in_o the_o see_v of_o canterbury_n that_o be_v he_o have_v no_o bishop_n that_o be_v his_o predecessor_n in_o that_o see_v because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o and_o i_o be_o very_o glad_a that_o you_o do_v doubt_n of_o that_o too_o and_o yet_o i_o think_v there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o that_o as_o of_o the_o other_o but_o than_o you_o be_v come_v to_o a_o end_n of_o the_o first_o doubt_n present_o for_o now_o you_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o cranmer_n be_v the_o first_o archbishop_n though_o there_o be_v archbishop_n for_o nine_o age_n before_o he_o and_o want_v episcopal_a succession_n i_o suppose_v you_o do_v not_o care_v to_o stand_v doubt_v long_o upon_o a_o matter_n but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o sense_n how_o can_v this_o be_v why_o because_o be_v the_o first_o of_o his_o sect_n he_o succeed_v none_o notable_o speak_v and_o all_o be_v now_o as_o plain_a as_o can_v be_v because_o cranmer_n be_v the_o first_o of_o his_o sect_n in_o the_o see_v of_o canterbury_n therefore_o he_o be_v also_o the_o first_o of_o his_o order_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o archbishop_n of_o his_o sect_n before_o he_o without_o all_o doubt_n there_o be_v no_o archbishop_n before_o he_o at_o all_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v too_o therefore_o i_o begin_v to_o doubt_v this_o will_v prove_v but_o a_o bad_a business_n at_o last_o however_o sir_n i_o give_v you_o many_o thanks_o for_o your_o argument_n such_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o distinction_n which_o it_o proceed_v upon_o we_o have_v be_v tug_v for_o this_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n and_o you_o at_o last_o have_v very_o civil_o yield_v it_o to_o we_o for_o in_o plain_a english_a you_o will_v prove_v that_o cranmer_n want_v episcopal_a succession_n because_o he_o want_v doctrinal_a succession_n he_o be_v say_v you_o the_o first_o of_o his_o sect_n and_o therefore_o he_o succeed_v to_o none_o and_o again_o how_o can_v he_o be_v a_o lawful_a pastor_n who_o have_v neither_o succession_n etc._n etc._n to_o recommend_v his_o new_a

have_v take_v something_o to_o clear_v your_o brain_n yet_o i_o do_v very_o thankful_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o make_v a_o good_a pastor_n there_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v a_o episcopal_a succession_n only_o but_o a_o doctrinal_a succession_n also_o now_o cranmer_n we_o say_v receive_v his_o order_n from_o the_o bishop_n of_o his_o age_n and_o his_o episcopal_a succession_n from_o his_o immediate_a

of_o his_o sect_n he_o take_v a_o far_o better_a course_n than_o as_o you_o will_v have_v have_v he_o to_o receive_v it_o for_o good_a and_o all_o from_o his_o immediate_a predecessor_n for_o it_o be_v possible_a and_o upon_o trial_n he_o find_v it_o certain_o true_a that_o his_o predecessor_n have_v make_v a_o failure_n in_o succession_n of_o doctrine_n and_o innovate_v against_o the_o ancient_a faith_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n he_o therefore_o go_v to_o the_o record_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o to_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v the_o most_o
