who_o go_v about_o to_o purge_v out_o the_o garlic_n which_o they_o have_v eat_v who_o though_o they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o purge_v and_o remove_v it_o yet_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o smell_v

of_o heaven_n key_n whence_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o by_o these_o be_v mean_v so_o small_a and_o easy_a a_o matter_n as_o the_o church_n at_o this_o day_n exercise_v for_o what_o great_a or_o

be_v shut_v against_o thou_o not_o only_o be_v this_o the_o ancient_a preach_n but_o almost_o every_o ordinary_a man_n in_o the_o church_n can_v say_v so_o yea_o whoever_o read_v the_o scripture_n or_o hear_v but_o a_o child_n read_v they_o he_o exercise_v this_o judgement_n of_o himself_o and_o use_v the_o key_n for_o if_o he_o see_v any_o disobedient_a he_o will_v judge_v that_o heaven_n be_v

think_v that_o they_o have_v now_o more_o power_n in_o use_v this_o key_n for_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o clergy_n assembly_n consistory_n class_n or_o synod_n be_v no_o more_o powerful_a in_o denounce_v this_o judgement_n than_o any_o private_a man_n be_v intent_n on_o the_o thing_n and_o careful_a to_o search_v out_o the_o truth_n so_o that_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o one_o layman_n have_v judge_v better_a and_o have_v make_v better_o use_v of_o this_o key_n than_o a_o whole_a synod_n for_o though_o apolonius_n prate_v much_o concern_v the_o special_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o we_o find_v no_o other_o effect_n thereof_o then_o what_o the_o pope_n bold_o brag_v concern_v his_o infallibillity_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v the_o lying_a faisister_n that_o ever_o the_o world_n see_v so_o then_o these_o churchman_n be_v very_o oftentimes_o deceive_v who_o brag_n so_o much_o of_o the_o power_n and_o certitude_n of_o the_o key_n let_v apolonius_n witness_v than_o which_o no_o man_n be_v a_o more_o impudent_a bragger_n of_o this_o power_n of_o the_o key_n except_o the_o pope_n and_o yet_o by_o his_o preach_a key_n he_o have_v produce_v so_o many_o lie_v that_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o carry_v not_o the_o key_n of_o heaven_n but_o of_o hell_n with_o apollion_n and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o think_v this_o to_o be_v a_o personal_a error_n except_o he_o will_v also_o ●e_v in_o this_o lo_o the_o whole_a walachrian_a classis_fw-la have_v con_v ent_v to_o these_o fiction_n so_o that_o hence_o appear_v the_o false_a judgement_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o preach_a key_n because_o not_o only_o it_o be_v not_o of_o great_a force_n than_o a_o private_a christian_a man_n judgement_n but_o oftentimes_o of_o less_o

enjoy_v heaven_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n who_o they_o judge_v worthy_a of_o heaven_n by_o their_o key_n how_o ever_o the_o matter_n be_v it_o can_v be_v evident_o prove_v that_o now_o churchman_n have_v any_o great_a power_n in_o use_v the_o key_n of_o heaven_n than_o any_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n whilst_o in_o their_o sermon_n their_o threaten_n and_o promise_n of_o life_n eternal_a be_v conditional_a whence_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o christ_n give_v so_o little_a right_n as_o this_o to_o the_o apostle_n under_o the_o

which_o i_o place_n in_o this_o because_o they_o be_v the_o first_o herald_n of_o salvation_n perform_v now_o by_o christ_n and_o of_o heaven_n open_v by_o he_o which_o be_v never_o proper_a before_o

after_o christ_n ascension_n it_o be_v true_o open_v and_o this_o privilege_n the_o apostle_n have_v that_o they_o be_v the_o first_o witness_n hereof_o beside_o before_o that_o time_n heaven_n be_v
