have_v in_o suspicion_n when_o there_o be_v any_o question_n of_o their_o profit_n or_o authority_n here_o my_o master_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v you_o that_o they_o lead_v you_o in_o a_o way_n by_o which_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a you_o shall_v be_v save_v for_o you_o be_v teach_v simple_o to_o believe_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o without_o far_a enquiry_n to_o depend_v entire_o upon_o her_o authority_n and_o yet_o you_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o mean_n to_o know_v whether_o this_o church_n whereunto_o you_o give_v credit_n be_v pure_a and_o teach_v true_a doctrine_n for_o how_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o shall_v it_o be_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n yea_o but_o this_o book_n be_v not_o permit_v you_o at_o rome_n and_o in_o spain_n to_o read_v in_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o burn_v at_o a_o stake_n or_o will_v you_o know_v it_o by_o the_o ancient_n those_o be_v greek_n &_o latin_a book_n which_o the_o people_n understand_v not_o what_o know_v a_o artificer_n or_o a_o woman_n or_o a_o husbandman_n among_o you_o whether_o the_o church_n teach_v conformable_o unto_o the_o scripture_n or_o if_o their_o church_n be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v some_o 12._o or_o 1500._o year_n since_o or_o whether_o of_o a_o long_a list_n of_o pope_n picture_v the_o first_o have_v believe_v as_o the_o last_o and_o that_o the_o time_n have_v alter_v nothing_o in_o brief_a you_o have_v no_o other_o proof_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o your_o church_n but_o the_o witness_n of_o your_o church_n itself_o who_o prelate_n vaunt_a themselves_o that_o they_o can_v err_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n deprive_v you_o of_o all_o mean_n to_o discern_v of_o error_n from_o truth_n by_o hide_v from_o you_o the_o rule_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o wherefore_o shall_v the_o roman_a church_n rather_o have_v this_o perfection_n that_o the_o greek_a or_o the_o syrian_a more_o ancient_a and_o more_o pure_a than_o the_o roman_a found_v by_o je_n christ_n himself_o and_o by_o his_o apostle_n and_o who_o also_o brag_v to_o have_v saint_n peter_n chair_n do_v the_o scripture_n give_v unto_o the_o roman_a church_n any_o prerogative_n above_o

upon_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n and_o by_o consequent_a that_o your_o religion_n be_v a_o humane_a religion_n and_o not_o divine_a whosoever_o say_v i_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o the_o church_n ordain_v it_o make_v the_o church_n more_o credible_a than_o god_n to_o doubt_n of_o god_n truth_n be_v a_o less_o crime_n than_o to_o make_v it_o depend_v upon_o man_n the_o other_o be_v that_o of_o all_o humane_a witness_n you_o ground_n yourselves_o upon_o the_o worst_a and_o most_o uncertain_a for_o you_o say_v your_o church_n be_v good_a because_o she_o say_v it_o and_o so_o do_v make_v her_o judge_n in_o she_o own_o cause_n not_o consider_v that_o by_o this_o word_n church_n you_o understand_v not_o christian_a people_n nor_o the_o generality_n of_o

the_o empire_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o you_o poor_a soul_n who_o god_n have_v frame_v after_o his_o own_o image_n who_o he_o have_v redeem_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n who_o god_n sollicit_v by_o his_o word_n will_v you_o languish_v always_o in_o this_o captivity_n will_v you_o heap_v up_o unto_o yourselves_o the_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o reject_v the_o salvation_n which_o be_v propose_v you_o i_o confess_v that_o the_o roman_a chur._n in_o certain_a point_n allege_v scripture_n and_o that_o between_o she_o and_o we_o there_o be_v strife_n about_o the_o interpretation_n but_o we_o make_v use_v of_o the_o scripture_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o those_o which_o teach_v you_o for_o first_o they_o be_v afraid_a the_o people_n shall_v read_v the_o scripture_n but_o we_o exhort_v man_n thereunto_o second_o they_o persuade_v you_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v obscure_a and_o ambiguous_a but_o we_o say_v all_o thing_n necessary_a unto_o salvation_n be_v therein_o lay_v down_o with_o much_o clearness_n three_o they_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o unperfect_a rule_n they_o will_v needs_o have_v another_o unwritten_a word_n and_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n equal_a in_o authority_n to_o the_o scripture_n we_o on_o the_o contrary_a say_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n can_v make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n 1_o 1_o tim._n 15._o 1_o and_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v wise_a beyond_o what_o be_v write_v 4_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 4_o and_o that_o in_o that_o which_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o need_v no_o interpretation_n be_v contain_v all_o the_o doctrine_n necessary_a unto_o salvation_n four_o when_o we_o allege_v the_o scripture_n we_o allege_v it_o as_o sovereign_a judge_n and_o as_o it_o that_o rule_v the_o chur._n and_o give_v she_o her_o authority_n but_o the_o roman_a church_n allege_v the_o scripture_n as_o a_o doctrine_n authorize_v by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o you_o ought_v to_o receive_v it_o because_o the_o church_n have_v ordain_v it_o five_o when_o we_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n we_o give_v not_o out_o our_o interpretation_n for_o law_n as_o do_v the_o roman_a church_n nor_o call_v ourselves_o judge_n or_o infallible_a interpreter_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n final_o when_o we_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n we_o draw_v our_o interpretation_n from_o the_o scripture_n itself_o but_o the_o roman_a church_n draw_v their_o interpretation_n from_o the_o unwritten_a word_n and_o from_o tradition_n for_o example_n we_o expound_v those_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n i_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n give_v it_o etc._n etc._n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o by_o the_o bread_n which_o i_o give_v you_o be_v

1._o cor._n 10._o 16_o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n your_o teacher_n do_v not_o thus_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n for_o they_o draw_v their_o interpretation_n from_o the_o unwritten_a word_n and_o from_o tradition_n when_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o peter_n i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o they_o say_v that_o by_o these_o word_n saint_n peter_n and_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n his_o successor_n be_v promise_v the_o virtue_n that_o they_o can_v not_o err_v but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o pope_n or_o of_o bishop_n of_o rome_n nor_o grant_v unto_o saint_n peter_n any_o successor_n in_o his_o apostleship_n so_o malachi_n speak_v of_o a_o pure_a oblation_n which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v in_o all_o place_n 11_o mal._n 1._o 11_o this_o oblation_n according_a to_o the_o interpretation_n of_o these_o master_n be_v the_o mass_n in_o which_o they_o say_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v real_o sacrifice_v but_o this_o interpretation_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o any_o mass_n nor_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o establish_v any_o sacrificer_n in_o the_o church_n to_o sacrifice_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v one_o god_n and_o shall_v serve_v he_o alone_o the_o interpretation_n of_o these_o master_n be_v that_o god_n forbid_v only_o the_o worship_n of_o latria_n but_o not_o the_o adoration_n of_o dulia_n which_o be_v a_o inferior_a religious_a service_n but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o adoration_n of_o dulia_n nor_o of_o any_o other_o religious_a service_n than_o that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o god_n these_o be_v interpretation_n which_o the_o roman_a church_n draw_v from_o the_o unwritten_a word_n which_o be_v at_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n nor_o can_v be_v learn_v but_o from_o her_o mouth_n for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v there_o be_v any_o that_o ever_o have_v see_v all_o the_o instruction_n of_o this_o unwritten_a word_n reduce_v into_o one_o body_n manner_n bellar._n

practise_v in_o the_o old_a chu_fw-mi as_o if_o the_o church_n of_o late_a time_n either_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o chr_n or_o have_v not_o
authority_n to_o express_v and_o declare_v to_o decree_v also_o and_o command_v those_o thing_n which_o concern_v faith_n &_o christian_a manner_n and_o that_o because_o this_o word_n change_v

faith_n the_o great_a mischief_n be_v that_o these_o tradition_n and_o instruction_n of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n be_v not_o only_a addition_n unto_o the_o scripture_n but_o also_o manifest_a
