all_o be_v as_o much_o afraid_a of_o these_o question_n as_o a_o dog_n of_o the_o whip_n i_o can_v never_o yet_o meet_v with_o one_o of_o you_o which_o dare_v undertake_v to_o maintain_v the_o negative_a part_n for_o you_o be_v as_o wise_a as_o serpent_n in_o your_o generation_n you_o know_v by_o woeful_a experience_n what_o hard_a and_o base_a &_o silly_a shift_n bellarmine_n suarez_n and_o other_o of_o your_o most_o learned_a jesuit_n have_v be_v drive_v to_o seek_v while_o they_o labour_v in_o writing_n to_o answer_v we_o in_o these_o question_n and_o how_o miserable_o they_o be_v confound_v contradict_v one_o another_o and_o every_o one_o himself_o in_o many_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o you_o can_v endure_v to_o deal_v with_o we_o in_o these_o kill_a point_n of_o controversy_n wherein_o you_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v overthrow_v but_o if_o these_o please_v you_o not_o do_v you_o name_v any_o other_o question_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v i_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o dispute_v with_o you_o without_o further_a delay_n mr._n fisher._n i_o be_o content_a but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v some_o ground_n to_o build_v on_o first_o i_o will_v

which_o pass_v between_o us._n mr._n walker_n if_o you_o will_v set_v down_o any_o question_n in_o writing_n and_o write_v down_o also_o your_o argument_n i_o will_v also_o write_v my_o answer_n to_o they_o but_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o question_v i_o refuse_v as_o a_o mean_n tend_v to_o prolong_v the_o time_n and_o keep_v we_o off_o from_o strict_a disputation_n i_o remember_v that_o when_o i_o

can_v dispute_v without_o some_o ground_n lay_v down_o and_o agree_v upon_o i_o will_v therefore_o first_o hear_v propound_v in_o write_v this_o question_n than_o he_o write_v down_o as_o follow_v

if_o you_o can_v *_o then_o the_o jesuit_n take_v the_o paper_n write_v a_o second_o proposition_n viz._n mr._n fisher._n our_o lord_n say_v to_o his_o apostle_n as_o my_o father_n send_v i_o so_o

under_o your_o hand_n and_o i_o will_v upon_o your_o own_v confession_n ground_n a_o controversy_n and_o a_o argument_n which_o shall_v hold_v you_o fast_o mr._n walker_n before_o you_o can_v make_v a_o argument_n you_o must_v agree_v with_o i_o upon_o some_o point_n of_o controversy_n let_v we_o therefore_o know_v what_o i_o shall_v defend_v and_o what_o point_n you_o will_v dispute_v against_o mr._n fisher._n i_o come_v instant_o to_o the_o point_n if_o you_o will_v grant_v the_o last_o proposition_n to_o be_v true_a under_o your_o hand_n this_o be_v do_v he_o take_v the_o paper_n and_o

by_o they_o be_v send_v and_o shall_v lawful_o succeed_v they_o in_o all_o age_n year_n month_n and_o day_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n mr._n walker_n master_n walker_n see_v this_o refuse_v to_o answer_v to_o any_o more_o question_n or_o proposition_n in_o word_n or_o writing_n except_o it_o be_v a_o proposition_n disputable_a and_o when_o the_o jesuit_n say_v that_o by_o

now_o three_o time_n i_o will_v no_o long_o be_v hold_v in_o suspense_n and_o if_o you_o can_v no_o way_n come_v to_o disputation_n but_o by_o such_o proposition_n i_o will_v try_v whether_o i_o can_v by_o the_o same_o mean_n draw_v you_o to_o some_o head_n of_o controversy_n then_o take_v a_o paper_n he_o write_v down_o this_o proposition_n they_o who_o teach_v hold_v and_o maintain_v doctrine_n contrary_a and_o repugnant_a to_o the_o scripture_n even_o the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o the_o true_a successor_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n mr._n fisher._n this_o assertion_n the_o jesuit_n grant_v but_o will_v not_o write_v down_o any_o thing_n and_o still_o urge_v master_n walker_n to_o grant_v his_o three_o proposition_n mr._n walker_n stay_v say_v master_n walker_n i_o must_v first_o have_v you_o to_o answer_v a_o second_o proposition_n before_o i_o answer_v your_o three_o then_o he_o write_v down_o a_o second_o to_o this_o effect_n the_o church_n teacher_n and_o pastor_n who_o do_v teach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o that_o and_o only_o that_o which_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n be_v undoubted_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o true_a successor_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n mr._n fisher._n to_o this_o the_o jesuit_n seem_v unwilling_a to_o answer_v till_o at_o length_n be_v much_o urge_v he_o for_o very_a shame_n yield_v to_o grant_v the_o proposition_n by_o say_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o mr._n walker_n whereupon_o master_n walker_n speak_v thus_o now_o master_n fisher_n you_o have_v grant_v i_o two_o main_a ground_n upon_o which_o i_o will_v dispute_v and_o upon_o the_o first_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o her_o pope_n and_o priest_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n nor_o true_a successor_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o upon_o the_o other_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o her_o protestant_a pastor_n be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o successor_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n mr._n fisher._n but_o stay_v say_v fisher_n let_v i_o first_o have_v your_o answer_n to_o my_o three_o proposition_n and_o then_o we_o will_v come_v to_o disputation_n immediate_o mr._n walker_n if_o i_o do_v answer_n you_o will_v not_o dispute_v because_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o controversy_n in_o your_o proposition_n nevertheless_o that_o you_o may_v have_v no_o excuse_n nor_o colour_n of_o delay_n i_o grant_v your_o assertion_n thus_o understand_v viz._n that_o to_o all_o those_o who_o be_v send_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o call_v and_o doctrine_n lawful_o succeed_v they_o in_o all_o age_n year_n and_o day_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n give_v commission_n to_o teach_v people_n of_o every_o nation_n and_o to_o baptize_v they_o and_o promise_v to_o be_v with_o they_o but_o if_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o last_o clause_n cunning_o to_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v in_o all_o age_n year_n month_n and_o day_n a_o continue_a succession_n of_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o visible_a chair_n and_o sea_n send_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o lawful_o succeed_v they_o as_o in_o place_n so_o in_o all_o point_n of_o doctrine_n i_o deny_v your_o proposition_n and_o if_o you_o please_v let_v this_o be_v the_o question_n between_o we_o and_o let_v it_o be_v your_o part_n to_o prove_v it_o against_o i_o mr._n fisher._n this_o answer_n master_n fisher_n desire_v he_o to_o write_v down_o which_o he_o promise_v upon_o condition_n fisher_n will_v first_o write_v down_o his_o answer_n to_o
