by_o some_o few_o plain_a and_o simple_a yet_o sound_a argument_n as_o first_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o own_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o church_n to_o be_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n but_o they_o own_o christ_n jesus_n only_o who_o be_v immortal_a to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o

recusant_n then_o will_v they_o swear_v and_o take_v oath_n before_o magistrate_n if_o it_o be_v require_v of_o they_o but_o they_o will_v not_o swear_v in_o no_o wise_a though_o thereunto_o require_v by_o magistrate_n though_o they_o suffer_v for_o it_o but_o do_v abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n who_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o he_o they_o choose_v to_o obey_v rather_o than_o magistrate_n that_o require_v to_o swear_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o no_o popish_a recusant_n three_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o how_o to_o image_n worship_v they_o and_o honour_v they_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o man_n hand_n but_o they_o bow_v to_o no_o image_n neither_o do_v they_o worship_v or_o honour_v any_o image_n which_o be_v make_v with_o man_n hand_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o heaven_n above_o or_o in_o the_o earth_n beneath_o and_o therefore_o be_v they_o no_o popish_a recusant_n four_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o own_o a_o purgatory_n after_o this_o life_n but_o they_o testify_v against_o such_o doctrine_n and_o do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o fable_n therefore_o be_v they_o no_o popish_a recusant_n five_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o own_o temporal_a bread_n and_o wine_n after_o consecration_n to_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o

therefore_o be_v they_o no_o popish_a recusant_n six_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o observe_v day_n and_o holiday_n and_o time_n as_o christmas_n lent_n easter_n etc._n

will_v they_o use_v cross_n and_o crucifix_n with_o bead_n and_o such_o like_a frivolous_a thing_n 5_o and_o they_o will_v also_o mark_v themselves_o with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n upon_o their_o forehead_n upon_o their_o mouth_n upon_o their_o breast_n and_o from_o one_o side_n to_o the_o other_o but_o cross_n crucifix_n and_o bead_n they_o reject_v as_o the_o work_n of_o man_n hand_n which_o can_v make_v their_o worship_n any_o thing_n more_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n neither_o do_v they_o at_o all_o mark_n themselves_o with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n as_o popish_a recusant_n do_v therefore_o be_v they_o no_o popish_a recusant_n eight_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a and_o unto_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v dead_a that_o they_o may_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o they_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o be_v outward_o dead_a nor_o unto_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v dead_a but_o unto_o the_o lord_n alone_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o give_v life_n and_o breath_n and_o therefore_o be_v no_o popish_a recusant_n nine_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a

john_n baptist_n peter_n and_o paul_n and_o before_o all_o the_o saint_n as_o popish_a recusant_n imagine_v and_o then_o will_v they_o pray_v unto_o these_o before_o mention_v for_o they_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o their_o absolution_n 17._o and_o after_o they_o have_v do_v thus_o will_v they_o receive_v a_o absolution_n from_o the_o priest_n etc._n etc._n but_o they_o confess_v their_o sin_n unto_o god_n who_o be_v able_a to_o remit_v and_o forgive_v they_o and_o not_o unto_o priest_n before_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v dead_a neither_o do_v they_o receive_v pardon_n or_o absolution_n from_o any_o mortal_a man_n of_o or_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o be_v they_o no_o popish_a recusant_n ten_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a recusant_n then_o will_v they_o observe_v the_o command_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v chief_o these_o five_o viz._n first_o that_o the_o saint_n day_n be_v sanctify_v and_o keep_v holy_a second_o that_o they_o hear_v mass_n three_o that_o the_o feast_n day_n be_v due_o observe_v four_o that_o confession_n of_o sin_n be_v make_v at_o the_o least_o once_o a_o year_n to_o the_o priest_n and_o final_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v
