VVhereunto are added certaine collections found in his closet, made by him (as is thought) of the miserable ends of such as haue impugned the Catholike Church.

among_o yourselves_o four_o sort_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n 1_o some_o do_v not_o believe_v either_o hell_n or_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v content_a to_o go_v to_o any_o church_n and_o be_v of_o any_o religion_n but_o care_n for_o none_o at_o all_o 2_o some_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v hell_n and_o heaven_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n fall_v out_o by_o absolute_a predestination_n as_o by_o fatal_a destiny_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o church_n nor_o religion_n can_v do_v a_o man_n good_a but_o only_o to_o read_v scripture_n and_o hear_v sermon_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o a_o man_n be_v predestinate_a 3_o some_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v hell_n and_o heaven_n and_o that_o some_o religion_n be_v necessary_a but_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n what_o so_o a_o man_n obey_v the_o king_n law_n and_o live_v like_o a_o honest_a man_n for_o they_o say_v every_o man_n may_v be_v save_v in_o his_o own_o religion_n all_o these_o i_o be_o out_o of_o hope_n to_o satisfy_v although_o their_o folly_n be_v against_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n but_o they_o have_v lose_v reason_n 4_o some_o there_o be_v that_o believe_v there_o be_v hell_n and_o heaven_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o avoid_v the_o one_o or_o attain_v the_o other_o but_o only_o true_a christian_a religion_n which_o they_o will_v glad_o embrace_v if_o they_o can_v know_v which_o it_o be_v to_o they_o and_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o will_v take_v any_o pain_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n and_o i_o be_o certain_a if_o they_o will_v hear_v i_o with_o patience_n they_o will_v be_v satisfy_v and_o for_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o question_n i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v on_o all_o side_n that_o that_o only_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a religion_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v teach_v himself_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o which_o as_o he_o promise_v shall_v continue_v until_o he_o come_v

again_o then_o the_o main_a care_n be_v to_o find_v what_o religion_n our_o saviour_n teach_v while_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o here_o i_o will_v pray_v every_o man_n of_o reason_n to_o consider_v 1_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v leave_v nothing_o in_o writing_n but_o teach_v his_o religion_n to_o his_o apostle_n by_o word_n of_o mouth_n 2_o that_o he_o command_v not_o his_o apostle_n to_o write_v his_o religion_n but_o to_o teach_v it_o ite_z predicate_v 3_o that_o of_o twelve_o apostle_n seven_o do_v leave_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o writing_n but_o teach_v their_o successor_n the_o religion_n of_o christ_n by_o word_n of_o mouth_n 4_o that_o saint_n mark_n saint_n luke_n and_o saint_n paul_n who_o write_v most_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o of_o christ_n his_o company_n while_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o learn_v their_o religion_n of_o the_o church_n before_o they_o write_v it_o 5_o that_o diverse_a other_o do_v write_v the_o religion_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o do_v apprehend_v it_o but_o their_o gospel_n and_o epistle_n be_v reject_v by_o the_o church_n luke_n 1._o 1._o 6_o that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n there_o will_v be_v no_o writing_n to_o try_v true_a religion_n from_o heresy_n but_o only_o the_o eternal_a truth_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o saint_n 7_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v by_o man_n of_o the_o church_n admit_v canonical_a by_o counsel_n of_o the_o church_n preserve_v from_o tyrant_n by_o the_o care_n of_o the_o church_n and_o ever_o until_o of_o late_a

the_o church_n then_o to_o believe_v a_o few_o private_a man_n that_o say_v they_o can_v expound_v scripture_n better_o than_o the_o church_n 9_o that_o all_o sort_n of_o heretic_n have_v always_o

well_o that_o all_o the_o father_n all_o doctor_n all_o ancient_a writer_n all_o general_a counsel_n canon_n tradition_n all_o ecclesiastical_a history_n all_o chronicle_n and_o monument_n of_o

of_o christ_n can_v never_o come_v to_o know_v what_o be_v the_o religion_n that_o christ_n do_v teach_v and_o which_o he_o have_v hitherto_o maintain_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o such_o a_o man_n to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a religion_n the_o mean_n then_o to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o inquire_v which_o be_v the_o
