the_o sense_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o section_n let_v we_o brief_o examine_v how_o sound_o he_o prove_v his_o intent_n 13.24_o matth._n 13.24_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a say_v he_o christ_n himself_o give_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o those_o impertinent_a dedemaund_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o after_o the_o good_a seed_n be_v sow_v the_o enemy_n sow_v tare_n when_o man_n be_v a_o sleep_n thus_o he_o answer_v to_o the_o impertinent_a question_n of_o the_o romaniste_n as_o he_o term_v it_o but_o good_a sir_n humphrey_n if_o the_o question_n be_v impertinent_a why_o do_v you_o answer_v to_o it_o why_o do_v not_o you_o rather_o pass_v it_o with_o silence_n then_o spend_v your_o breath_n about_o it_o but_o it_o seem_v you_o will_v needs_o answer_v yea_o and_o father_n your_o answer_n upon_o our_o saviour_n as_o if_o christ_n himself_o have_v answer_v in_o the_o word_n cite_v to_o the_o same_o question_n which_o you_o say_v the_o romanist_n demand_v of_o you_o fie_o what_o application_n of_o scripture_n be_v this_o be_v you_o a_o master_n in_o israel_n and_o yet_o ignorant_a that_o our_o saviour_n use_v that_o parable_n to_o another_o purpose_n do_v not_o our_o saviour_n mean_v by_o the_o enemy_n the_o devil_n by_o the_o tare_n vice_n and_o by_o the_o field_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v not_o this_o a_o common_a exposition_n of_o interpreter_n or_o if_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o understand_v of_o error_n in_o doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o sour_a of_o they_o in_o the_o field_n of_o the_o church_n of_o which_o we_o know_v there_o be_v good_a store_n in_o your_o congregation_n yet_o can_v the_o parable_n of_o our_o saviour_n avayle_v your_o purpose_n nothing_o at_o all_o
for_o that_o the_o question_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v general_a and_o so_o a_o general_a answer_n be_v sufficient_a but_o the_o demand_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v particular_a &_o so_o in_o reason_n it_o require_v a_o answer_n in_o particular_a for_o example_n the_o question_n be_v if_o purgatory_n be_v a_o error_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n who_o be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o it_o in_o what_o age_n do_v he_o live_v if_o not_o to_o communicate_v in_o both_o kind_n be_v a_o error_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n who_o be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o it_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o in_o the_o question_n of_o the_o romanist_n there_o be_v no_o impertinency_n in_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o demand_v it_o but_o the_o knight_n answer_n be_v both_o impertinent_a in_o itself_o and_o also_o false_o father_v upon_o our_o saviour_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o roman_a catholik_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o do_v not_o oblige_v the_o knight_n nor_o any_o of_o his_o consort_n to_o answer_v so_o metaphysical_o to_o their_o demand_n as_o he_o erroneous_o persuade_v himself_o but_o they_o only_o urge_v the_o reformer_n to_o name_v the_o author_n and_o time_n of_o such_o suppose_a error_n in_o a_o moral_a manner_n that_o be_v who_o they_o be_v that_o have_v be_v in_o any_o lawful_a council_n condemn_v for_o either_o the_o broacher_n or_o public_a defendour_n of_o those_o he_o call_v error_n which_o be_v a_o demand_n so_o far_o from_o impertinency_n that_o there_o have_v never_o be_v any_o notorious_a error_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o have_v not_o be_v note_v so_o by_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o several_a age_n wherein_o they_o live_v or_o at_o the_o least_o by_o some_o other_o present_o after_o their_o time_n and_o so_o hence_o it_o appear_v manifest_o that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v no_o wise_a guilty_a of_o impertinency_n in_o their_o demand_n yet_o sir_n humphrey_n be_v most_o impertinent_a in_o his_o answer_n and_o not_o only_o a_o impertinent_a alledger_n of_o scripture_n but_o also_o a_o perverse_a detorter_n of_o the_o same_o as_o interpret_n they_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o his_o own_o private_a spirit_n and_o father_v upon_o christ_n that_o which_o he_o never_o think_v nor_o intend_v and_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o catholic_n which_o in_o truth_n have_v no_o substance_n in_o it_o yet_o he_o still_o prosecute_v the_o same_o make_v a_o great_a flourish_n out_o of_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o same_o parable_n add_v that_o the_o tare_n be_v sow_v by_o the_o enemy_n when_o
