be_v never_o accurse_v of_o his_o father_n but_o he_o bear_v in_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a to_o our_o sin_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n and_o to_o purchase_v to_o we_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n but_o these_o man_n who_o otherways_o be_v so_o full_a of_o curious_a distinction_n do_v herein_o err_v because_o they_o do_v not_o with_o saint_n augustine_n put_v a_o difference_n between_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o christ_n own_o person_n etc._n and_o that_o which_o he_o suffer_v in_o the_o person_n and_o place_n of_o we_o the_o which_o if_o this_o writer_n or_o rather_o slanderer_n have_v do_v he_o may_v have_v abstain_v from_o these_o his_o blasphemous_a collection_n of_o his_o own_o and_o not_o our_o assertion_n as_o if_o christ_n have_v despair_v of_o his_o salvation_n or_o god_n have_v hate_v he_o etc._n etc._n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n be_v far_o from_o such_o despair_n which_o proper_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o the_o reprobate_n and_o not_o a_o punishment_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o we_o hold_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n suffer_v in_o our_o person_n and_o for_o we_o those_o torment_n which_o be_v righteous_a punishment_n of_o god_n justice_n against_o sin_n and_o not_o such_o as_o proper_o be_v sin_n in_o the_o devil_n and_o in_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_a man_n as_o be_v despair_n and_o hatred_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n and_o believe_v with_o our_o heart_n that_o christ_n be_v never_o hate_v of_o his_o father_n but_o always_o the_o dear_o belove_a son_n of_o god_n in_o who_o he_o be_v always_o well_o please_v but_o he_o hate_v sin_n the_o which_o as_o man_n have_v commit_v so_o in_o man_n nature_n god_n justice_n be_v to_o be_v satisfy_v the_o which_o for_o that_o corrupt_a and_o sinful_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o i_o say_v become_v our_o surety_n take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o in_o the_o same_o have_v suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n the_o punishment_n of_o god_n anger_n due_a to_o our_o sin_n and_o thereby_o have_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n pacify_v his_o anger_n and_o purchase_v his_o love_n and_o mercy_n to_o all_o those_o that_o true_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o so_o christ_n be_v torment_v with_o anguish_n of_o mind_n not_o for_o his_o sin_n as_o you_o false_o gather_v but_o for_o our_o sin_n which_o he_o bear_v in_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o god_n be_v not_o enemy_n to_o god_n but_o enemy_n to_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v impute_v to_o christ_n that_o his_o satisfaction_n and_o righteousness_n may_v be_v impute_v unto_o us._n to_o conclude_v we_o believe_v that_o christ_n suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_a those_o punishment_n of_o sin_n which_o proceed_v from_o god_n justice_n and_o be_v no_o sin_n which_o in_o some_o sense_n may_v be_v call_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n because_o that_o as_o christ_n by_o his_o deity_n overcome_v they_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v hold_v and_o overcome_v of_o they_o so_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o reprobate_n shall_v eternal_o endure_v they_o and_o this_o be_v no_o desperate_a doctrine_n but_o a_o most_o comfortable_a doctrine_n to_o assure_v we_o that_o in_o christ_n god_n justice_n be_v satisfy_v our_o sin_n be_v discharge_v hell_n be_v conquer_v and_o we_o from_o it_o be_v deliver_v so_o that_o we_o may_v with_o the_o apostle_n say_v o_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n o_o hell_n where_o be_v thy_o victory_n 35._o the_o pamphlet_n the_o protestant_n have_v no_o mean_a to_o determine_v controversy_n and_o abolish_v heresy_n 5._o article_n as_o the_o protestant_n neither_o know_v what_o they_o believe_v nor_o why_o they_o believe_v so_o have_v they_o no_o mean_n in_o their_o church_n to_o settle_v they_o in_o unity_n of_o belief_n nor_o to_o determine_v controversy_n nor_o to_o abolish_v heresy_n as_o have_v the_o catholic_a church_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n by_o his_o divine_a providence_n do_v foresee_v that_o heresy_n be_v to_o arise_v in_o his_o church_n as_o his_o apostle_n s._n paul_n do_v warn_v we_o the_o which_o as_o plague_n be_v to_o infect_v his_o flock_n and_o therefore_o he_o not_o only_o forewarn_v we_o of_o they_o but_o also_o give_v we_o mean_n how_o to_o prevent_v and_o extinguish_v they_o he_o will_v we_o to_o hear_v his_o church_n if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v account_v as_o etlmick_n and_o publican_n he_o ordain_v pastor_n and_o doctor_n lest_o we_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o every_o blast_n of_o vain_a doctrine_n he_o promise_v to_o the_o church_n the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o which_o will_v not_o hear_v she_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o the_o catholic_n therefore_o believe_v certain_o that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v that_o the_o general_a counsel_n can_v deliver_v false_a doctrine_n that_o the_o pastor_n and_o ancient_a father_n with_o joint_a consent_n can_v teach_v untruth_n when_o heresy_n spring_v up_o present_o with_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n pluck_v they_o up_o even_o by_o the_o root_n and_o so_o ever_o have_v practise_v and_o after_o this_o manner_n have_v overthrow_v all_o encounter_n false_a opinion_n and_o error_n which_o the_o devil_n by_o his_o minister_n ever_o plant_v or_o establish_v in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o they_o have_v be_v free_v from_o all_o brawl_n and_o quarrel_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o the_o protestant_n admit_v the_o sole_a scripture_n as_o umpire_n and_o judge_n in_o matter_n of_o controversy_n &_o allow_v no_o infallible_a interpreter_n thereof_o but_o remit_v all_o to_o every_o man_n private_a spirit_n &_o singular_a exposition_n can_v possible_o without_o error_n wind_v themselves_o out_o of_o the_o labyrinth_n of_o so_o many_o controversy_n wherewith_o they_o be_v now_o inveigle_v and_o intricate_v and_o the_o irreconciliable_a jar_n betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o puritan_n in_o essential_a point_n of_o faith_n give_v sufficient_a testimony_n that_o they_o will_v never_o have_v a_o end_n or_o can_v have_v a_o end_n hold_v those_o ground_n of_o opinion_n which_o they_o obstinate_o defend_v and_o final_o they_o have_v no_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v the_o true_a church_n true_a religion_n true_a faith_n which_o all_o heretake_v which_o ever_o be_v will_v not_o bring_v to_o condemn_v the_o church_n as_o well_o as_o they_o for_o example_n they_o allege_v scripture_n so_o do_v the_o arrian_n they_o contemn_v counsel_n the_o arrian_n do_v not_o regard_v they_o they_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o the_o true_a interpretation_n the_o same_o do_v all_o heretic_n to_o this_o day_n and_o to_o conclude_v they_o call_v themselves_o the_o little_a flock_n of_o christ_n to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v his_o truth_n and_o illuminate_v they_o from_o above_o all_o which_o the_o donatist_n with_o as_o good_a

to_o conclude_v these_o article_n of_o faith_n i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o protestant_n religion_n be_v true_a s._n paul_n himself_o exhort_v we_o to_o infidelity_n which_o i_o prove_v thus_o whosoever_o exhort_v we_o to_o doubt_v of_o that_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v by_o faith_n exhort_v to_o infidelity_n but_o s._n paul_n do_v exhort_v we_o to_o doubt_v of_o our_o salvation_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v by_o faith_n according_a to_o the_o protestant_n religion_n ergo_fw-la s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o infidelity_n the_o mayor_n be_v plain_a
