occasion_n to_o admire_v the_o little_a conscience_n of_o your_o late_a english_a doctor_n in_o challenge_v the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o five_o hundred_o year_n wherein_o if_o their_o adversary_n may_v come_v to_o a_o indifferent_a and_o equal_a trial_n with_o they_o the_o very_a title_n of_o the_o father_n book_n against_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o overthrow_v they_o only_o in_o this_o place_n i_o will_v give_v the_o reader_n this_o short_a notandum_fw-la for_o the_o which_o if_o he_o desire_v sincere_o to_o know_v and_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v have_v cause_n to_o thank_v i_o when_o any_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v censure_v any_o point_n of_o doctrine_n tax_v it_o of_o heresy_n or_o note_v it_o as_o the_o particular_a opinion_n of_o some_o heretic_n or_o reprove_v it_o very_o much_o or_o wonder_v at_o it_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o every_o learned_a man_n may_v easy_o know_v or_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o that_o no_o other_o father_n do_v therein_o oppose_v himself_o against_o he_o it_o be_v a_o evident_a testimony_n that_o his_o doctrine_n therein_o be_v the_o general_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n at_o that_o time_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o receive_v of_o the_o age_n that_o follow_v wherefore_o the_o author_n of_o that_o book_n have_v show_v so_o many_o point_n of_o your_o doctrine_n to_o have_v be_v so_o notorious_o censure_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o ancient_a father_n of_o the_o first_o five_o hundred_o year_n in_o the_o hetetike_n of_o those_o time_n beside_o many_o other_o point_n and_o some_o of_o those_o also_o condemn_v by_o father_n and_o counsel_n in_o after_o age_n whereunto_o you_o have_v not_o answer_v a_o word_n it_o be_v for_o aught_o i_o can_v see_v or_o perceive_v a_o clear_a demonstration_n that_o the_o father_n of_o those_o time_n be_v they_o and_o that_o either_o your_o professor_n be_v none_o at_o all_o or_o no_o other_o than_o those_o that_o be_v condemn_v by_o they_o thus_o all_o thing_n with_o they_o be_v infallible_o certain_a easy_a to_o be_v know_v and_o most_o conspicuous_a they_o follow_v the_o stream_n and_o current_n of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o by_o many_o know_a succession_n of_o holy_a and_o learned_a man_n martyr_n and_o bishop_n as_o it_o be_v by_o so_o many_o channel_n they_o derive_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n they_o follow_v the_o fame_n and_o greatness_n of_o that_o church_n which_o by_o convert_n country_n and_o nation_n in_o all_o age_n be_v become_v eminent_a and_o apparent_a above_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o christian_n like_o a_o city_n upon_o a_o hill_n above_o the_o moale-hill_n or_o like_o the_o little_a stone_n in_o daniel_n which_o grow_v to_o be_v a_o mountain_n fill_v the_o world_n with_o its_o greatness_n they_o follow_v the_o security_n of_o those_o letters-patent_n which_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n have_v sign_v with_o his_o own_o seal_n and_o commend_v to_o the_o world_n by_o attestation_n of_o many_o miracle_n in_o confirmation_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o last_o they_o follow_v the_o infallible_a and_o powerful_a authority_n of_o that_o body_n which_o by_o censure_n of_o doctor_n &_o decree_n of_o counsel_n from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v ever_o confound_v all_o those_o that_o oppose_v themselves_o against_o it_o while_o you_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n without_o any_o lineal_a descente_n from_o those_o who_o you_o pretend_v to_o have_v be_v your_o ancestor_n without_o the_o progeny_n of_o any_o gentill_n convert_v by_o you_o without_o any_o warrant_n of_o god_n hand_n or_o sentence_n of_o his_o judge_n for_o you_o do_v still_o remain_v in_o the_o darkness_n of_o your_o invisible_a church_n toss_v in_o the_o sea_n of_o error_n with_o every_o wind_n of_o new_a doctrine_n not_o know_v certain_o who_o to_o follow_v nor_o what_o to_o believe_v until_o at_o the_o last_o even_o the_o wise_a of_o you_o be_v weary_a of_o seek_v and_o

zealous_a protestant_n have_v be_v bind_v to_o have_v fall_v at_o your_o foot_n and_o to_o have_v honour_v you_o for_o ever_o but_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n against_o such_o weighty_a and_o massy_a matter_n such_o clear_a and_o convince_a proof_n as_o these_o not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v in_o evidence_n so_o much_o as_o one_o professor_n in_o every_o age_n nor_o in_o any_o age_n the_o conversion_n of_o any_o nation_n or_o the_o testimony_n of_o any_o miracle_n or_o the_o censure_n of_o any_o one_o father_n in_o favour_n of_o your_o religion_n who_o see_v not_o that_o instead_o of_o reason_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o passion_n on_o your_o part_n and_o certain_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o your_o cause_n it_o be_v better_a to_o hold_v your_o peace_n then_o reply_v so_o weak_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o importance_n for_o beside_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v against_o many_o other_o most_o express_a sentence_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n in_o those_o very_a point_n which_o you_o have_v choose_v to_o touch_v you_o have_v only_o produce_v a_o few_o dribble_a authority_n as_o it_o be_v on_o the_o buy_v some_o false_o translate_v and_o some_o false_o cite_v and_o some_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o express_a word_n against_o you_o plain_o falsify_v that_o not_o to_o accuse_v you_o of_o a_o bad_a conscience_n though_o you_o make_v profession_n to_o be_v much_o verse_v in_o the_o father_n yet_o the_o reader_n must_v needs_o think_v you_o never_o see_v or_o read_v so_o much_o as_o those_o few_o place_n which_o yourself_o have_v cite_v but_o only_o take_v they_o by_o retail_v from_o other_o and_o howsoever_o though_o they_o be_v admit_v and_o take_v as_o you_o give_v they_o up_o yet_o in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n they_o either_o touch_v not_o your_o adversary_n at_o all_o or_o be_v a_o little_a consider_v make_v rather_o with_o they_o then_o against_o they_o which_o show_v great_a want_n of_o judgement_n in_o you_o and_o i_o very_o think_v if_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o examine_v they_o with_o i_o i_o shall_v make_v you_o see_v it_o wherefore_o as_o in_o the_o former_a section_n so_o that_o you_o may_v know_v in_o this_o also_o how_o far_o you_o be_v chargeable_a i_o give_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o your_o account_n in_o this_o manner_n the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o church_n which_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o five_o hundred_o year_n be_v condemn_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v condemn_v by_o the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o 500_o year_n as_o the_o most_o and_o best_a learned_a protestant_n themselves_n have_v also_o confess_v ergo_fw-la the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v likewise_o condemn_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n section_n v._o miracle_n defend_v to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a testimony_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n therein_o declare_v wherefore_o to_o begin_v as_o you_o do_v with_o miracle_n most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o no_o true_a miracle_n can_v be_v wrought_v but_o only_o by_o he_o qui_fw-la facit_fw-la mirabilia_fw-la magna_fw-la solus_fw-la and_o therefore_o whensoever_o any_o true_a miracle_n be_v show_v or_o sufficient_o testify_v unto_o we_o in_o confirmation_n of_o any_o point_n of_o doctrine_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a proof_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o for_o a_o miracle_n in_o that_o case_n be_v the_o testimony_n of_o god_n who_o speak_v by_o work_n as_o man_n by_o word_n say_v s._n aug._n epist_n 49._o quaest_n 6._o and_o be_v the_o subscription_n as_o it_o be_v of_o his_o hand_n and_o seal_v unto_o it_o and_o certain_o if_o miracle_n be_v no_o sufficient_a proof_n of_o true_a doctrine_n they_o will_v never_o have_v be_v call_v sign_n and_o testimony_n in_o holy_a scripture_n god_n will_v not_o have_v give_v moses_n power_n of_o work_a miracle_n exod._n 4._o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n may_v believe_v he_o
