to_o vieve_v the_o thing_n itself_o i_o desire_v thou_o to_o consider_v well_o these_o few_o point_n follow_v first_o that_o no_o proof_n of_o any_o one_o point_n of_o christian_a belief_n can_v be_v so_o direct_a and_o full_a out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n that_o may_v not_o be_v delude_v by_o false_a interpretation_n for_o the_o damn_a arrianes_n and_o most_o other_o heretic_n can_v interpret_v all_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n bring_v by_o the_o catholic_n against_o their_o heresy_n in_o such_o sense_n as_o be_v so_o understand_v they_o make_v nothing_o against_o it_o yea_o that_o as_o

of_o catholic_a doctrine_n as_o can_v be_v delude_v by_o any_o interpretation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n second_o that_o though_o protestant_n may_v allege_v text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o some_o point_n of_o their_o doctrine_n yet_o that_o alone_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v it_o true_a both_o because_o the_o same_o point_n be_v prove_v false_a by_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o also_o for_o that_o all_o heretic_n have_v ever_o bring_v scripture_n for_o their_o heresy_n and_o none_o more_o apparent_a or_o frequent_v then_o the_o blasphemous_a arrianes_n to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o devil_n his_o citinge_n of_o scripture_n even_o against_o our_o bless_a saviour_n by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v more_o than_o

live_v at_o least_o on_o thousand_o year_n before_o these_o controversy_n begin_v can_v be_v esteem_v partial_a on_o our_o side_n three_o that_o i_o expect_v and_o exact_v of_o he_o or_o they_o that_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o answer_v this_o treatise_n the_o same_o round_o sincere_a and_o direct_v dealing_v which_o i_o have_v here_o use_v remembringe_v before_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o first_o set_v down_o his_o faith_n in_o direct_a position_n and_o then_o proceed_v inlike_a method_n as_o i_o have_v do_v for_o the_o rest_n to_o who_o i_o willing_o grant_v this_o large_a liberty_n above_o that_o which_o i_o have_v use_v that_o he_o tie_v not_o himself_o unto_o the_o first_o 500_o year_n for_o the_o father_n interpretation_n but_o that_o he_o take_v bold_o 1500._o year_n so_o that_o he_o bring_v not_o condemn_v heretic_n for_o his_o auctour_n and_o with_o all_o observe_v the_o point_n follow_v four_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v to_o any_o purpose_n in_o way_n of_o answer_n that_o any_o adversary_n bring_v another_o interpretation_n of_o some_o father_n upon_o the_o place_n of_o scripture_n allege_v by_o i_o beside_o that_o which_o i_o have_v bring_v for_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o one_o &_o the_o same_o place_n of_o scripture_n may_v be_v and_o be_v often_o diverse_o understand_v not_o only_o of_o diverse_a father_n but_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o father_n but_o if_o he_o will_v say_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n in_o this_o kind_n he_o must_v bring_v a_o interpretation_n contradict_v that_o which_o i_o have_v bring_v and_o withal_o labour_n rather_o to_o prove_v his_o own_o doctrine_n they_o to_o impugn_v that_o of_o the_o catoliques_n for_o seeinge_v it_o be_v as_o all_o man_n know_v à_fw-fr far_o more_o easy_a thing_n to_o impugn_v any_o doctrine_n though_o never_o so_o true_a then_o to_o prove_v the_o same_o no_o truth_n especial_o of_o faith_n be_v so_o evident_o clear_a but_o that_o some_o thing_n with_o show_n of_o probabillitie_n may_v be_v object_v against_o it_o it_o be_v not_o now_o expect_v that_o any_o adversary_n shall_v stand_v to_o answer_v those_o auctority_n of_o scripture_n and_o father_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v for_o proof_n of_o the_o catholic_a doctrine_n or_o to_o impugn_v the_o same_o but_o rather_o to_o bring_v other_o in_o proof_n of_o his_o own_o that_o the_o iudition_n reader_n may_v compare_v our_o ground_n in_o scripture_n both_o together_o and_o by_o the_o vieu_n of_o his_o own_o eye_n try_v whether_o of_o they_o be_v more_o conformable_a to_o god_n sacred_a word_n and_o when_o any_o one_o shall_v have_v produce_v his_o proof_n for_o protestantisme_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o catholic_a religion_n if_o he_o can_v so_o do_v yet_o shall_v he_o gain_v no_o more_o thereby_o but_o a_o evident_a demonstration_n against_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o the_o protestant_n doctrine_n that_o either_o to_o the_o true_a and_o full_a decision_n of_o controversy_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v necessary_o require_v note_n some_o other_o judgement_n or_o trial_n than_o the_o only_a word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n or_o else_o that_o therere_fw-la be_v no_o mean_n at_o all_o to_o end_v controversy_n of_o faith_n which_o late_a nevertheless_o to_o affirm_v be_v no_o less_o iniuriouse_a to_o god_n wisdom_n goodness_n or_o power_n then_o to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v provide_v no_o sufficient_a mean_n for_o man_n to_o know_v the_o way_n to_o save_v their_o soul_n for_o both_o party_n bring_v scripture_n for_o themselves_o whoe_o shall_v final_o determine_v whether_o of_o they_o do_v apply_v the_o say_a scripture_n more_o sincere_o and_o accord_v to_o their_o true_a meaning_n five_o that_o whereas_o before_o i_o can_v prove_v any_o point_n of_o christian_a belief_n by_o scripture_n i_o shall_v first_o by_o good_a order_n prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a scripture_n and_o second_o in_o what_o book_n of_o the_o bible_n it_o be_v contain_v yet_o because_o nether_a of_o these_o two_o point_n can_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n unless_o we_o first_o believe_v some_o scripture_n without_o proof_n therefore_o that_o i_o may_v prove_v those_o point_n of_o faith_n wherein_o the_o catholic_a roman_a church_n do_v differ_v from_o the_o protestant_n by_o holy_a scripture_n which_o our_o adversary_n urge_v i_o unto_o i_o must_v necessary_o to_o satisfy_v their_o disorder_a desire_n proceed_v disorderlie_o and_o suppose_v that_o for_o truth_n without_o proof_n which_o require_v most_o to_o be_v prove_v i_o say_v without_o proof_n if_o no_o proof_n be_v good_a but_o that_o which_o be_v make_v out_o of_o scripture_n and_o here_o occur_v by_o the_o way_n two_o thing_n worthy_a of_o note_n thone_n that_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v a_o universal_a rule_n of_o our_o faith_n seeinge_v some_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v with_o out_o proof_n of_o scripture_n as_o be_v for_o example_n that_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a scripture_n contain_v god_n word_n and_o revelation_n and_o that_o these_o and_o these_o book_n be_v such_o therefore_o must_v there_o of_o necessity_n be_v some_o other_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n more_o universal_a than_o the_o scripture_n and_o consequent_o before_o the_o scripture_n and_o this_o can_v be_v but_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n church_n which_o be_v cler_o s._n augustins_n doctrine_n who_o be_v not_o afeard_a to_o say_v i_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n 5._o but_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n do_v move_v i_o seeinge_v therefore_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n for_o we_o to_o believe_v what_o be_v scripture_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o have_v the_o like_a authority_n with_o we_o in_o other_o point_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v also_o s._n augustins_n argument_n in_o the_o same_o place_n but_o i_o will_v notwithstanding_o satisfy_v our_o adversary_n in_o their_o own_o humoure_n the_o secund_a thing_n to_o be_v note_v be_v that_o they_o that_o believe_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n be_v evident_o convince_v to_o believe_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o they_o that_o can_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v à_fw-fr holy_a scripture_n or_o what_o book_n be_v holy_a scripture_n can_v believe_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o before_o they_o believe_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n they_o must_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o scripture_n and_o what_o book_n be_v

or_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o their_o positione_n to_o wit_n that_o nothing_o ought_v or_o can_v right_o be_v believe_v but_o that_o which_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n to_o be_v false_a which_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o main_a ground_n of_o all_o their_o religion_n but_o now_o have_v show_v the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o doctrine_n in_o this_o point_n i_o will_v join_v with_o
