light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n let_v the_o confession_n of_o your_o faith_n and_o your_o good_a conversation_n be_v so_o manifest_a that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_v and_o glorify_v your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n three_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v considder_v that_o the_o church_n for_o maintain_v of_o her_o visible_a unitye_n have_v certain_a outward_a sign_n wherein_o her_o child_n do_v participate_v one_o with_o a_o neither_o whereby_o she_o be_v know_v and_o distinguish_v from_o other_o company_n for_o as_o s._n 11._o augustine_n say_v into_o no_o name_n of_o religion_n either_o true_a or_o false_a can_v man_n be_v firm_o compact_v except_o they_o be_v tie_v together_o by_o some_o fellowship_n of_o visible_a sign_n or_o sacrament_n and_o these_o outward_a sign_n be_v esspeciallye_o the_o bless_a scacrifice_n the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o same_o public_a prayer_n and_o service_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o protestant_n church_n and_o therefore_o whosoever_o resort_v thither_o do_v manifest_o fail_v in_o these_o token_n of_o his_o profession_n and_o so_o divide_v himself_o from_o the_o visible_a unity_n four_o this_o unitye_n require_v not_o only_o that_o a_o man_n participate_v in_o sacrament_n and_o prayer_n but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v obediente_a to_o his_o lawful_a pastor_n and_o now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n by_o condemn_v the_o heresy_n of_o this_o time_n have_v also_o forbid_v we_o to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o follower_n of_o those_o heresy_n in_o divine_a thing_n neither_o be_v it_o needful_a by_o express_a word_n to_o prohibit_v the_o come_n to_o their_o church_n see_v that_o it_o be_v forbid_v express_o to_o pray_v with_o heretic_n even_o by_o the_o cannon_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o diverse_a age_n by_o sundry_a counsel_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o cite_v hereafter_o and_o who_o know_v not_o that_o the_o meaning_n will_n and_o commandment_n of_o all_o catholic_a pastor_n at_o this_o day_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v abstain_v from_o the_o a_o foresay_a church_n under_o no_o less_o pain_n they_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o true_a church_n five_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o country_n be_v most_o manifest_a whereby_o those_o that_o only_o have_v be_v present_a

their_o own_o conscience_n do_v acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v debar_v from_o the_o use_n of_o all_o holy_a sacrament_n six_o all_o this_o be_v ground_v upon_o great_a reason_n for_o like_a as_o the_o protestant_n be_v heretic_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o false_a doctrine_n so_o be_v the_o schismatics_n in_o their_o different_a manner_n of_o serve_v god_n and_o therefore_o who_o soever_o do_v but_o seem_v to_o concur_v with_o they_o in_o that_o outward_a act_n of_o service_n the_o church_n be_v not_o able_a to_o search_v his_o heart_n and_o mind_n but_o judge_v he_o according_a to_o that_o which_o he_o show_v outward_o 17._o must_v needs_o censure_v he_o as_o a_o schismatic_n which_o censure_n be_v more_o grievous_a &_o terrible_a then_o if_o a_o man_n be_v adjudge_v to_o be_v strike_v with_o a_o sword_n to_o be_v consume_v with_o fire_n or_o to_o be_v devour_v with_o wild_a beast_n and_o more_o bitter_o and_o unhappy_o be_v a_o man_n bind_v by_o the_o key_n of_o the_o church_n after_o such_o judgement_n then_o by_o any_o other_o most_o grevous_a and_o hard_a bond_n albeit_o they_o be_v of_o iron_n or_o adamant_n stone_n neither_o let_v any_o man_n think_v to_o be_v acquit_v from_o the_o crime_n of_o schism_n or_o from_o this_o heavy_a censure_n because_o his_o act_n of_o go_v to_o the_o protestant_n church_n be_v constrain_v by_o fear_n of_o worldly_a loss_n and_o not_o altogether_o voluntary_a for_o although_o he_o will_v not_o do_v this_o act_n if_o the_o fear_n be_v remove_v yet_o according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o present_a time_n he_o choose_v it_o as_o most_o expedient_a for_o he_o and_o therefore_o all_o circumstance_n considder_v and_o as_o thing_n go_v now_o it_o be_v more_o voluntary_a then_o against_o his_o will_n and_o simpliciter_fw-la as_o it_o be_v term_v &_o as_o the_o case_n now_o stand_v it_o be_v voluntary_a for_o if_o fear_n may_v have_v excuse_v the_o church_n have_v do_v great_a wrong_n not_o only_o to_o
