we_o will_v ask_v no_o better_o to_o remain_v still_o with_o they_o they_o will_v yet_o further_o reproach_n we_o that_o christ_n haunt_v the_o temple_n notwithstanding_o the_o merchandise_n that_o

abominable_a idolatry_n be_v commit_v 19_o they_o ought_v also_o to_o add_v that_o which_o the_o text_n say_v express_o that_o he_o preach_v there_o against_o idolatry_n also_o that_o amos_n the_o

preach_v in_o their_o church_n amongst_o their_o idol_n we_o will_v make_v they_o to_o fall_v down_o at_o the_o only_a word_n of_o god_n without_o ever_o touch_v or_o lay_v hand_n upon_o they_o let_v they_o but_o suffer_v we_o to_o place_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n and_o his_o holy_a covenant_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o temple_n 5._o and_o they_o shall_v within_o a_o short_a space_n find_v all_o their_o dagon_n in_o piece_n we_o refuse_v not_o then_o to_o go_v to_o preach_v there_o for_o this_o be_v it_o we_o desire_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n to_o make_v the_o truth_n know_v unto_o

at_o it_o much_o less_o will_v we_o worship_v in_o dan_n &_o bethel_n for_o they_o never_o do_v it_o we_o will_v not_o i_o say_v communicate_v in_o any_o wise_a with_o the_o sacrilege_n &_o impiety_n bring_v in_o by_o antichrist_n for_o this_o be_v great_a wickedness_n to_o do_v it_o &_o treason_n against_o god_n to_o conceal_v it_o &_o more_o than_o senseless_a blockishness_n to_o all_o not_o

they_o object_n unto_o we_o if_o you_o hold_v the_o pope_n for_o antich_n &_o our_o service_n for_o idolatry_n how_o they_o do_v you_o receive_v our_o baptism_n or_o if_o you_o hold_v that_o for_o

baptize_v as_o long_o as_o baptism_n remain_v sound_a but_o christ_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o heretic_n wherein_o we_o follow_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n &_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o 1._o council_n of_o nice_a nicenum_n that_o they_o which_o be_v baptize_v by_o heretic_n renounce_v their_o heresy_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v rebaptise_v except_o those_o that_o have_v be_v baptize_v by_o the_o samosatens_n who_o keep_v not_o the_o essential_a word_n of_o baptism_n who_o to_o speak_v proper_o they_o do_v not_o rebaptize_v because_o with_o out_o these_o they_o can_v never_o be_v baptize_v but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o antichrist_n or_o of_o his_o idol_n three_o baptism_n in_o our_o infancy_n bring_v we_o into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v receive_v into_o his_o family_n if_o we_o serve_v he_o not_o according_a to_o his_o commandment_n for_o than_o we_o deprive_v ourselves_o of_o the_o benefit_n receive_v by_o baptism_n the_o which_o as_o s._n augustine_n say_v be_v turn_v into_o our_o great_a condemnation_n this_o therefore_o be_v unto_o we_o as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o a_o common_a weal_n which_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o good_a citizen_n &_o of_o simple_a &_o plain_a enemy_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v we_o become_v traitor_n and_o parricide_n if_o we_o serve_v a_o tyrant_n which_o have_v invade_v it_o kinsfolk_n and_o if_o we_o bear_v arm_n against_o the_o law_n thereof_o for_o

afterwards_o acknowledge_v his_o fault_n withdraw_v himself_o to_o the_o defender_n of_o the_o common_a liberty_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o new_a letter_n of_o his_o natural_a birth_n although_o by_o his_o former_a deed_n he_o make_v himself_o unworthy_a so_o likewise_o we_o say_v that_o to_o he_o which_o be_v bind_v under_o the_o popedom_n who_o have_v maintain_v antichrist_n and_o join_v himself_o to_o his_o faction_n and_o to_o every_o other_o heretic_n which_o have_v fight_v against_o christ_n there_o need_v no_o second_o baptism_n when_o he_o return_v to_o his_o duty_n for_o albeit_o he_o have_v renounce_v christ_n yet_o christ_n have_v not_o renounce_v the_o right_n he_o have_v over_o he_o and_o his_o baptism_n be_v so_o little_o deface_v that_o of_o a_o simple_a enemy_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v without_o baptism_n he_o be_v become_v a_o traitor_n and_o guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n against_o his_o majesty_n and_o therefore_o there_o need_v nothing_o but_o a_o utter_a abolishment_n of_o his_o fault_n and_o not_o a_o renew_v of_o his_o baptism_n four_o yea_o but_o there_o be_v no_o baptism_n but_o in_o the_o church_n and_o when_o you_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o we_o you_o then_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o the_o church_n the_o answer_n there_o be_v no_o baptism_n but_o in_o the_o church_n and_o we_o deny_v not_o also_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o church_n for_o in_o that_o we_o affirm_v that_o antichrist_n rule_v there_o we_o consequent_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v the_o church_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o can_v not_o

the_o truth_n unto_o the_o people_n &_o to_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n unto_o they_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o lord_n as_o doctor_n they_o be_v call_v to_o expound_v

if_o their_o vocation_n command_v they_o not_o to_o go_v far_o to_o wit_n to_o preach_v the_o truth_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o pure_o to_o administer_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o if_o they_o

therefore_o say_v i_o both_o our_o adversary_n and_o our_o first_o minister_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o ordinary_a &_o outward_a call_n but_o herein_o be_v the_o difference_n that_o that_o
