A18305	The second part of the Defence of the Reformed Catholicke VVherein the religion established in our Church of England (for the points here handled) is apparently iustified by authoritie of Scripture, and testimonie of the auncient Church, against the vaine cauillations collected by Doctor Bishop seminary priest, as out of other popish writers, so especially out of Bellarmine, and published vnder the name of The marrow and pith of many large volumes, for the oppugning thereof. By Robert Abbot Doctor of Diuinitie.; Defence of the Reformed Catholicke of M. W. Perkins. Part 2	Abbot, Robert, 1560-1618.	1607 (1607)	STC 49; ESTC S100532	1,359,700	1,255

4.2_o you_o shall_v put_v nothing_o to_o the_o word_n that_o i_o command_v you_o say_v moses_n neither_o shall_v you_o take_v aught_o there_o from_o that_o you_o may_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n which_o i_o command_v you_o thereby_o give_v to_o understand_v that_o every_o put_v too_o or_o take_v fro_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o exception_n which_o m._n bishop_n use_v that_o these_o word_n may_v be_v understand_v of_o commandment_n as_o well_o unwritten_a as_o write_v m._n perkins_n answer_v that_o these_o word_n be_v as_o a_o preface_n to_o a_o long_a commentary_n or_o exposition_n of_o the_o write_a law_n &_o therefore_o do_v import_n that_o to_o the_o write_a law_n nothing_o be_v to_o be_v add_v nothing_o to_o be_v take_v from_o it_o but_o that_o only_o be_v to_o be_v do_v which_o be_v contain_v therein_o now_o howsoever_o m._n bishop_n dote_v yet_o the_o case_n be_v plain_a that_o because_o moses_n speak_v thus_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o write_a law_n therefore_o the_o israelite_n be_v to_o admit_v of_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n but_o say_v he_o why_o then_o be_v there_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o of_o the_o prophet_n write_v afterward_o if_o god_n have_v forbid_v any_o more_o to_o be_v write_v or_o teach_v but_o that_o one_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n behold_v a_o cozen_a sophister_n who_o see_v well_o and_o know_v that_o save_v only_o by_o falsehood_n and_o deceit_n he_o avail_v nothing_o we_o say_v not_o that_o of_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n only_o but_o of_o the_o whole_a write_a law_n moses_n say_v you_o shall_v put_v nothing_o to_o it_o etc._n etc._n again_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o god_n do_v forbid_v any_o more_o book_n to_o be_v write_v or_o teach_v but_o that_o no_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n or_o of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v receive_v or_o write_v or_o teach_v but_o what_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o write_a law_n now_o than_o i_o wish_v thou_o gentle_a reader_n to_o observe_v how_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o his_o own_o answer_n circumuent_v and_o overthrow_v himself_o moses_n say_v you_o shall_v put_v nothing_o to_o the_o word_n which_o i_o command_v you_o nor_o take_v aught_o therefrom_o now_o tell_v we_o m._n bishop_n of_o what_o word_n do_v he_o say_v this_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v understand_v it_o of_o the_o word_n whether_o write_v or_o unwritten_a be_v it_o so_o but_o you_o will_v confess_v then_o that_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v by_o moses_n write_v or_o unwritten_a nothing_o be_v to_o be_v add_v because_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n plain_o express_v so_o much_o and_o how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o so_o many_o book_n be_v write_v afterward_o we_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o moses_n therein_o teach_v the_o israelite_n whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n how_o then_o do_v it_o stand_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prophet_n add_v so_o much_o more_o in_o write_v to_o use_v your_o own_o word_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o the_o prophet_n read_v not_o these_o word_n or_o understand_v they_o not_o or_o do_v wilful_o transgress_v they_o we_o will_v glad_o hear_v whether_o of_o these_o you_o will_v say_v the_o man_n be_v mute_a and_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o answer_v if_o he_o answer_v as_o he_o must_v his_o answer_n full_o serve_v our_o turn_n for_o defend_v the_o only_o write_v law_n of_o moses_n that_o the_o book_n that_o be_v after_o write_v by_o the_o prophet_n serve_v to_o explain_v and_o declare_v the_o law_n &_o to_o show_v the_o experiment_n &_o practice_n of_o it_o but_o add_v no_o point_n of_o doctrine_n nor_o teach_v any_o article_n of_o religion_n towards_o god_n but_o what_o moses_n have_v write_v in_o the_o law_n but_o for_o the_o further_o strengthen_v of_o this_o argument_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o moses_n testify_v of_o himself_o that_o 24.4_o that_o exod._n 24.4_o he_o write_v all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o another_o place_n it_o be_v say_v 31.9.10_o say_v deut._n 31.9.10_o moses_n write_v this_o law_n and_o deliver_v it_o to_o the_o priest_n and_o to_o all_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n and_o command_v they_o say_v every_o seven_o year_n thou_o shall_v read_v this_o law_n before_o all_o israel_n the_o law_n then_o which_o he_o give_v they_o he_o give_v they_o in_o writing_n that_o they_o may_v read_v it_o &_o it_o may_v be_v read_v unto_o they_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v say_v moses_n write_v this_o law_n if_o he_o have_v write_v but_o a_o part_n of_o it_o and_o leave_v another_o part_n unwritten_a nay_o it_o be_v say_v further_o afterward_o 24._o afterward_o ver._n 24._o when_o moses_n
