to_o be_v antichrist_n &_o the_o catholic_a church_n to_o be_v the_o synagogue_n and_o stew_n of_o satan_n yet_o stay_v he_o himself_o not_o so_o but_o still_o play_v the_o proteus_n even_o unto_o

still_o himself_o as_o also_o prayer_n to_o saint_n for_o the_o dead_a purgatory_n communion_n under_o one_o kind_n &_o many_o such_o like_a catholic_a point_n all_o which_o 9_o year_n after_o before_o the_o same_o emperor_n he_o utter_o deny_v the_o same_o inconstancy_n be_v in_o his_o disciple_n melanchton_n caluin_n bucer_n and_o in_o they_o of_o wittenberg_n in_o the_o anabaptiste_n and_o in_o such_o like_a as_o also_o in_o your_o protestant_n there_o in_o england_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o a_o change_a and_o turn_v in_o and_o out_o be_v there_o of_o your_o communion_n book_n for_o first_o the_o deviser_n thereof_o high_o commend_v it_o and_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o christ_n institution_n &_o to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o a_o while_n after_o they_o utter_o mislike_v it_o and_o disauthorise_v it_o they_o set_v forth_o another_o in_o principal_a point_n quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o former_a &_o yet_o they_o affirm_v that_o also_o to_o be_v according_a to_o christ_n institution_n &_o jump_v as_o the_o use_n be_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o yet_o how_o this_o be_v approve_v &_o like_v of_o your_o preacher_n &_o minister_n you_o can_v but_o know_v who_o see_v &_o behold_v such_o carp_n and_o find_v fault_n thereat_o and_o such_o contempt_n thereof_o as_o that_o the_o minister_n who_o do_v observe_v due_o the_o order_n thereof_o be_v account_v a_o temporizer_n or_o a_o cold_a protestant_n ay_o may_v say_v a_o atheist_n for_o his_o labour_n and_o he_o who_o can_v most_o contemn_v it_o and_o can_v wed_v bury_v baptize_v minister_v the_o communion_n and_o do_v such_o like_a after_o some_o other_o new_a fashion_n of_o his_o own_o invent_v be_v account_v a_o jolly_a fellow_n &_o a_o

be_v one_o while_o the_o minister_n must_v turn_v his_o face_n towards_o the_o south_n another_o while_n towards_o the_o north_n and_o another_o while_n towards_o the_o east_n whereby_o all_o wise_a man_n may_v see_v that_o they_o your_o religion_n first_o begin_v and_o never_o be_v in_o the_o world_n before_o for_o if_o ever_o it_o have_v be_v before_o you_o may_v sure_o have_v have_v some_o precedent_n by_o which_o you_o may_v have_v order_v these_o thing_n and_o to_o speak_v plain_o what_o i_o observe_v i_o find_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o your_o inconstancy_n in_o doctrine_n to_o be_v advantage_n and_o disadvantage_n for_o your_o religion_n be_v frame_v only_o to_o serve_v turn_n &_o time_n for_o when_o they_o be_v but_o few_o in_o number_n by_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n they_o

spread_v through_o germany_n france_n england_n scotland_n and_o in_o other_o country_n they_o vaunt_v much_o and_o argue_v that_o their_o doctrine_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a because_o it_o be_v

with_o the_o manner_n of_o these_o protestant_n we_o do_v plain_o seâ—_n that_o they_o be_v the_o very_a same_o which_o be_v foretell_v and_o as_o it_o be_v point_v at_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n for_o first_o they_o come_v unsent_a 13._o jerm_n 13._o as_o jeremie_n foretell_v in_o these_o word_n i_o do_v not_o send_v they_o and_o they_o do_v run_v for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o they_o neither_o have_v order_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v nor_o any_o consecration_n or_o right_a call_n for_o they_o be_v not_o send_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n as_o be_v manifest_a but_o utter_o condemn_v for_o heretic_n and_o when_o any_o of_o they_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o roman_a religion_n they_o plain_o see_v that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o any_o spiritual_a

and_o invincible_a to_o bear_v down_o the_o gainsayers_a thereof_o if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o notwithstanding_o my_o argument_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v contentious_a 11._o 1._o cor._n 11._o we_o have_v no_o such_o custom_n as_o woman_n to_o pray_v uncover_v nor_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o agreeable_o unto_o this_o saint_n augustine_n say_v if_o the_o whole_a church_n throughout_o the_o world_n do_v use_v any_o thing_n 5._o epist_n 118._o cap._n 5._o only_o to_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o that_o thing_n shall_v be_v so_o do_v be_v a_o point_n of_o most_o proud_a or_o most_o strange_a

over_o they_o and_o that_o by_o sin_n and_o to_o this_o say_v he_o the_o pelagian_n with_o all_o their_o craft_n can_v not_o answer_v for_o they_o dare_v not_o say_v as_o the_o protestant_n say_v we_o

where_o but_o in_o few_o word_n the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o undoubted_a as_o never_o any_o heretic_n before_o this_o our_o age_n dare_v adventure_v to_o stand_v against_o the_o same_o altogether_o but_o heresy_n ever_o consist_v only_o in_o some_o matter_n of_o erroneous_a judgement_n and_o false_a opinion_n but_o the_o teacher_n thereof_o never_o go_v about_o to_o change_v the_o face_n of_o religion_n as_o to_o take_v away_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o protestant_n be_v bold_a to_o do_v and_o sure_o in_o this_o point_n the_o malepeartnesse_n and_o desperate_a boldness_n of_o the_o new_a ghospeller_n be_v wonderful_a who_o dare_v not_o only_o attempt_v to_o change_v diverse_a point_n of_o the_o church_n use_n &_o practice_v which_o in_o all_o age_n of_o all_o man_n be_v account_v so_o heinous_a a_o offence_n to_o do_v but_o also_o make_v no_o bone_n to_o take_v all_o quite_o away_o custom_n ceremony_n order_n yea_o and_o the_o holy_a mass_n itself_o place_v instead_o thereof_o in_o some_o place_n chapter_n and_o psalm_n ill_o translate_v into_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n &_o in_o some_o other_o place_n ballad_n make_v of_o psalm_n common_o call_v geneva_n psalm_n with_o rail_a sermon_n and_o in_o other_o place_n other_o stuff_n as_o best_o please_v the_o humour_n of_o the_o deviser_n thereof_o and_o to_o these_o new_a invention_n forsooth_o must_v the_o common_a people_n be_v compel_v to_o come_v and_o to_o forsake_v &_o renounce_v the_o service_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n leave_v by_o god_n almighty_a and_o continue_v ever_o through_o out_o all_o generation_n as_o it_o must_v do_v manger_n all_o protestant_n head_n even_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n the_o xiii_o reason_n doctrine_n that_o church_n who_o doctrine_n tend_v to_o mortification_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o consequent_o direct_v by_o god_n holy_a spirit_n and_o contrariwise_o that_o sect_n or_o congregation_n which_o teach_v the_o contrary_a be_v most_o undoubted_o false_a and_o consequent_o guide_v by_o a_o evil_a spirit_n this_o be_v so_o manifest_a as_o it_o need_v no_o proof_n for_o every_o man_n know_v that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v call_v holy_a because_o it_o profess_v or_o teach_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a now_o if_o a_o man_n consider_v du_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n he_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v of_o the_o former_a sort_n and_o easy_o he_o may_v perceive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o new_a religion_n to_o be_v of_o the_o latter_a but_o i_o will_v not_o here_o speak_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n although_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o comparison_n in_o life_n for_o that_o every_o one_o see_v and_o easy_o confess_v the_o catholic_n to_o live_v most_o uprightlie_o &_o saintlike_a but_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o their_o religion_n teach_v they_o to_o do_v for_o of_o that_o especial_o our_o lord_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v 7._o math._n 7._o you_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n first_o therefore_o to_o declare_v this_o point_n if_o you_o compare_v the_o clergy_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n with_o these_o new_a clergy_n man_n you_o may_v see_v the_o order_n and_o institution_n of_o the_o one_o sort_n to_o move_v they_o to_o mortification_n &_o to_o the_o contempt_n of_o earthly_a thing_n and_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o other_o to_o prick_v they_o forward_o to_o all_o vanity_n &_o to_o carnal_a liberty_n for_o a_o priest_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n receave_v in_o a_o most_o solemn_a manner_n seven_o order_n whereof_o three_o be_v call_v holy_a because_o they_o be_v about_o sacred_a and_o holy_a thing_n as_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n holy_a vessel_n &c_n &c_n and_o every_o thing_n which_o the_o say_a priest_n must_v use_v be_v holy_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v require_v in_o he_o the_o great_a purity_n possible_o to_o be_v have_v so_o as_o he_o must_v have_v and_o thought_n free_a from_o all_o carnality_n and_o worldly_a thing_n and_o for_o such_o like_a cause_n he_o be_v restrain_v from_o marriage_n although_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o honourable_a &_o institute_v by_o god_n himself_o but_o yet_o who_o so_o be_v yoke_v therein_o must_v needs_o apply_v himself_o to_o worldly_a affair_n and_o so_o be_v divide_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 7._o 1._o cor._n 7._o and_o because_o he_o be_v restrain_v from_o marriage_n &_o bind_v to_o live_v chaste_a or_o continent_n he_o may_v not_o use_v any_o trim_v or_o trick_v up_o of_o himself_o in_o amorous_a attire_n nor_o use_v any_o dalliance_n or_o fondness_n with_o woman_n but_o ever_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v as_o a_o dead_a man_n in_o regard_n of_o such_o thing_n he_o must_v be_v far_o from_o such_o lightness_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o protestant_a minister_n have_v receive_v no_o order_n but_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o deaconshippe_n and_o ministershippe_n of_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o have_v no_o holy_a or_o sacred_a thing_n to_o deal_v withal_o but_o leave_v to_o all_o liberty_n

read_v their_o chapter_n in_o the_o church_n with_o a_o thousand_o suchlike_a fond_a &_o foolish_a inconvenience_n which_o ensue_v thereupon_o furthermore_o the_o roman_a religion_n teach_v

teach_v observation_n of_o vow_n &_o promise_n which_o must_v needs_o cause_v great_a trust_n &_o fidelity_n in_o the_o professor_n thereof_o the_o protestant_n teach_v that_o they_o bound_v not_o
