A68809 Scrutamini scripturas the exhortation of a Spanish conuerted monke: collected out of the Spanishe authours themselues, to reade and peruse the holy scriptures; contrary to the prohibition of the Pope and Church of Rome, whose tyranny in this point plainely appeares to euery mans view. With other occurrences of no small importance. Tejeda, Fernando de, fl. 1623. 1624 (1624) STC 23922; ESTC S106037 49,742 76

of_o the_o papist_n one_o question_n from_o whence_o come_v it_o that_o bad_a read_n be_v permit_v to_o all_o in_o general_a and_o the_o good_a only_o to_o a_o few_o in_o number_n if_o they_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o eunuch_n be_v one_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o secular_a man_n attain_v to_o the_o understanding_n of_o christian_a verity_n by_o read_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o the_o forementioned_a spaniard_n by_o the_o read_n of_o profane_a book_n lose_v his_o faith_n and_o become_v a_o atheist_n how_o come_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n inquisitor_n after_o heretical_a error_n do_v not_o consent_v that_o there_o one_o only_a book_n of_o the_o divine_a scripture_n may_v be_v publish_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n that_o so_o secular_a man_n like_v to_o that_o eunuch_n may_v daily_o read_v in_o it_o whereas_o they_o tolerate_v a_o infinite_a company_n of_o obscene_a and_o vicious_a book_n permit_v they_o to_o come_v into_o every_o man_n hand_n if_o they_o take_v away_o the_o holy_a scripture_n from_o the_o popular_a sort_n which_o may_v be_v very_o profitable_a for_o many_o and_o no_o prejudice_n to_o any_o except_o they_o assume_v it_o from_o their_o own_o corruption_n and_o blindness_n under_o colour_n and_o pretext_n that_o some_o ground_n their_o error_n out_o of_o they_o how_o be_v it_o that_o they_o suffer_v so_o many_o bad_a and_o profane_a book_n that_o can_v benefit_n none_o but_o as_o experience_n continual_o teach_v be_v the_o instrument_n of_o many_o evil_n i_o can_v conceive_v what_o answer_n the_o papist_n will_v return_v hereunto_o but_o this_o i_o be_o assure_v of_o that_o as_o the_o pope_n the_o inquisitor_n and_o great_a prelate_n know_v well_o that_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n can_v never_o possible_o come_v to_o the_o

they_o to_o be_v read_v of_o all_o man_n make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o error_n and_o vice_n that_o increase_n through_o the_o read_n of_o such_o book_n in_o that_o they_o speak_v not_o against_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n nor_o of_o the_o inquisitor_n but_o by_o reason_n they_o know_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v a_o clear_a and_o manifest_a light_n that_o will_v reveal_v their_o work_n and_o false_a doctrine_n they_o use_v all_o the_o care_n and_o circumspection_n possible_a that_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n may_v not_o read_v they_o and_o so_o come_v to_o discern_v the_o
