as_o he_o speak_v of_o be_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o pride_n not_o to_o condemn_v hasty_o other_o opinion_n to_o make_v the_o fair_a and_o best_a construction_n of_o other_o man_n word_n especial_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o same_o profession_n with_o we_o wherefore_o if_o the_o treatiser_n be_v able_a to_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o this_o my_o defence_n of_o illyricus_n and_o hosiander_n i_o will_v hear_v he_o otherwise_o let_v he_o not_o tell_v i_o of_o my_o school_n distinction_n for_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o they_o neither_o do_v i_o use_v they_o as_o the_o roman_a sophister_n do_v to_o avoid_v the_o evidence_n of_o that_o truth_n that_o be_v too_o mighty_a for_o they_o to_o encounter_v but_o to_o clear_v that_o which_o the_o romanistes_n desire_v to_o have_v wrap_v up_o in_o perplex_a and_o intricate_a dispute_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o treatiser_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o this_o condition_n and_o therefore_o he_o pass_v from_o the_o suppose_a division_n of_o our_o church_n and_o difference_n of_o our_o divine_n &_o proceed_v to_o show_v their_o inconstancy_n instance_v particular_o in_o luther_n and_o whereas_o in_o my_o former_a book_n i_o have_v answer_v the_o objection_n of_o papist_n touch_v this_o suppose_a inconstancy_n he_o go_v about_o to_o refute_v that_o my_o answer_n which_o consist_v of_o two_o part_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_o in_o sundry_a point_n of_o great_a moment_n as_o of_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n of_o freewill_n justification_n the_o difference_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n faith_n and_o work_v christian_a liberty_n and_o the_o like_a luther_n be_v ever_o constant_a the_o second_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o strange_a as_o our_o adversary_n will_v make_v it_o that_o luther_n proceed_v by_o degree_n in_o discern_a sundry_a popish_a error_n see_v augustine_n and_o their_o angelical_a doctor_n alter_v their_o judgement_n in_o diverse_a thing_n and_o upon_o better_a consideration_n dislike_v what_o they_o have_v former_o approve_v the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o my_o answer_n he_o pronounce_v to_o contain_v a_o manifest_a untruth_n for_o that_o among_o other_o thing_n mention_v by_o i_o luther_n be_v not_o ever_o constant_a &_o of_o one_o judgement_n touch_v freewill_n he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v because_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o article_n condemn_v by_o the_o pope_n he_o say_v freewill_n be_v a_o forge_a or_o feign_a thing_n &_o a_o title_n without_o a_o substance_n it_o be_v saxon._n in_o no_o man_n power_n to_o think_v any_o thing_n good_a or_o evil_n but_o all_o thing_n fall_v out_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n and_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v man_n of_o their_o own_o proper_a strength_n have_v freewill_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v external_a work_n so_o that_o they_o may_v attain_v to_o secular_a and_o civil_a honesty_n but_o m._n treatiser_n shall_v know_v that_o between_o these_o say_n of_o luther_n there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n in_o truth_n and_o in_o deed_n but_o in_o his_o fancy_n only_o for_o in_o the_o former_a place_n two_o thing_n be_v deliver_v by_o luther_n the_o first_o that_o no_o man_n by_o nature_n have_v power_n to_o turn_v himself_o to_o god_n without_o grace_n or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o prepare_v himself_o to_o the_o receipt_n of_o grace_n which_o in_o the_o latter_a place_n speak_v only_o of_o external_a work_n and_o civil_a or_o secular_a honesty_n he_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o second_o that_o though_o man_n in_o outward_a thing_n and_o thing_n that_o be_v below_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o freedom_n of_o will_n and_o choice_n and_o power_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v they_o yet_o not_o so_o free_a but_o that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o providence_n &_o disposition_n of_o almighty_a god_n bow_v bend_a &_o turn_v they_o whither_o he_o please_v and_o have_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n in_o his_o hand_n as_o that_o they_o can_v will_v nothing_o unless_o he_o permit_v they_o which_o no_o way_n preiudice_v that_o liberty_n which_o elsewhere_o he_o attribute_v to_o the_o will_n for_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v free_a because_o it_o do_v nothing_o but_o on_o like_v and_o choice_n and_o because_o god_n permit_v it_o have_v power_n to_o do_v what_o please_v it_o best_o and_o not_o because_o it_o be_v free_a and_o not_o subject_a to_o divine_a disposition_n and_o
