not_o these_o man_n but_o i_o hate_v the_o evil_a spirit_n that_o be_v in_o they_o and_o love_v they_o i_o discover_v their_o wickedness_n if_o so_o be_v by_o it_o they_o come_v to_o repent_v and_o

to_o be_v among_o man_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o god_n be_v please_v to_o judge_v such_o rebellious_a man_n by_o those_o creature_n which_o we_o count_v most_o foolish_a as_o we_o common_o say_v of_o one_o that_o be_v silly_a he_o have_v no_o more_o wit_n than_o a_o goose_n speak_v as_o if_o a_o goose_n have_v no_o wit_n but_o one_o goose_n have_v more_o wit_n than_o they_o three_o the_o

such_o seduce_a spirit_n that_o will_v divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o body_n in_o church_n kingdom_n and_o family_n for_o the_o end_n of_o my_o discourse_n be_v to_o bring_v all_o man_n to_o

through_o the_o darkness_n which_o come_v upon_o the_o church_n some_o hundred_o year_n ago_o by_o reason_n when_o the_o corrupt_a clergy_n who_o be_v without_o conscience_n or_o honesty_n get_v the_o power_n and_o record_n of_o antiquity_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n they_o destroy_v record_n which_o show_v the_o ancient_a apostolical_a custom_n of_o the_o church_n that_o they_o may_v put_v upon_o we_o such_o a_o seem_a divine_a law_n as_o please_v they_o and_o make_v most_o for_o their_o lazy_a end_n and_o profit_n and_o through_o the_o malice_n and_o subtlety_n of_o the_o serpent_n wrought_v much_o mischief_n by_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o popish_a clergy_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o mankind_n yet_o unaware_o to_o they_o god_n have_v reserve_v so_o much_o of_o the_o record_n as_o clear_o confute_v their_o practice_n in_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n even_o baptism_n about_o which_o controversy_n beget_v by_o the_o laziness_n of_o the_o clergy_n many_o thousand_o lose_v their_o life_n and_o themselves_o will_v come_v to_o ruin_v i_o find_v that_o though_o infant_n be_v baptise_v in_o old_a time_n by_o their_o surety_n undertake_v for_o they_o or_o

then_o use_v the_o same_o word_n as_o if_o they_o give_v they_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o give_v they_o nothing_o or_o just_o as_o saint_n james_n say_v jam._n 2._o 13_o 14._o if_o one_o see_v a_o

do_v they_o care_v whether_o they_o have_v it_o or_o not_o for_o without_o water_n it_o be_v but_o a_o starve_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o if_o the_o bishop_n be_v ancient_a dare_v not_o for_o fear_v

to_o join_v in_o affinity_n with_o the_o captain-general_n thereof_o i_o think_v this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o speech_n of_o his_o majesty_n father_n as_o true_a as_o if_o he_o be_v now_o
