against_o all_o evil-doer_n and_o unreasonable_a man_n and_o here_o it_o may_v be_v see_v what_o bitter_a stream_n the_o pope_n fountain_n send_v forth_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o how_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o law_n do_v degenerate_a from_o reasonable_a man_n and_o with_o their_o unreasonable_a part_n do_v divert_v the_o stream_n from_o their_o

from_o such_o as_o do_v practice_n in_o they_o for_o if_o any_o part_n of_o reason_n do_v order_v the_o practice_n in_o such_o case_n it_o will_v not_o prove_v so_o tedious_a and_o burdensome_a to_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v to_o make_v defence_n if_o a_o man_n be_v own_o appearance_n will_v be_v take_v for_o a_o sufficient_a appearance_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v or_o if_o a_o true_a

his_o warrant_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v this_o will_v come_v something_o near_o to_o reason_n in_o practice_n and_o will_v not_o be_v so_o grievous_a to_o poor_a man_n who_o desire_v to_o fear_n god_n and_o walk_v in_o his_o truth_n but_o man_n be_v shameful_o degenerate_v from_o truth_n and_o reason_n and_o their_o very_a heart_n and_o mind_n be_v corrupt_v and_o their_o way_n be_v all_o

one_o thing_n and_o that_o from_o the_o law_n for_o confirmation_n of_o what_o i_o have_v here_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o particular_a case_n of_o tithe_n by_o which_o it_o do_v full_o appear_v that_o no_o temporal_a court_n have_v any_o power_n to_o proceed_v against_o any_o man_n in_o that_o case_n for_o the_o law_n say_v after_o this_o manner_n 32._o hen._n 8._o ch_n 7._o that_o some_o have_v

here_o be_v a_o plain_a distinction_n make_v for_o whilst_o any_o thing_n remain_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o tithe_n and_o only_o deny_v as_o tithe_n and_o offering_n no_o temporal_a court_n have_v power_n to_o examine_v or_o determine_v in_o that_o case_n but_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n only_o but_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v call_v in_o question_n the_o estate_n of_o another_o in_o the_o ground_n as_o it_o be_v once_o count_v spiritual_a and_o now_o convert_v into_o the_o possession_n of_o a_o lay_v person_n if_o a_o interest_n in_o this_o case_n be_v question_v then_o have_v the_o

where_o they_o be_v deny_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o ecclesiastical_a court_n only_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o at_o this_o time_n and_o in_o this_o place_n take_v notice_n of_o to_o mention_v for_o that_o which_o be_v already_o say_v may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v a_o reasonable_a man_n or_o woman_n that_o the_o ground_n and_o rise_v of_o they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o way_n to_o recover_v they_o if_o deny_v be_v to_o be_v in_o ecclesiastical_a court_n only_o and_o not_o in_o temporal_a court_n and_o that_o from_o determination_n of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o case_n all_o which_o do_v make_v it_o evident_o appear_v how_o much_o we_o have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o
