mention_v of_o inglish_n seminaryes_n to_o be_v erect_v in_o stray_v country_n but_o after_o that_o upon_o molestation_n at_o home_n scholar_n begin_v to_o repair_v over_o to_o douai_n and_o then_o

overcome_v the_o protestant_n than_o the_o contrary_a for_o that_o the_o puritan_n buyld_v direct_o upon_o the_o protestant_n first_o ground_n in_o religion_n &_o deduce_v thereof_o clear_o and_o by_o

the_o protestant_n for_o the_o reason_n you_o now_o have_v give_v that_o they_o do_v buyld_v upon_o the_o very_a first_o ground_n of_o all_o inglish_n protestant_n that_o follow_v caluins_n doctrine_n and_o do_v seem_v to_o pretend_v but_o only_o the_o perfection_n and_o true_a use_n thereof_o and_o consequent_o that_o reason_n of_o you_o have_v much_o fit_v my_o understanding_n that_o their_o can_v scarce_o be_v a_o zealous_a inglish_n protestant_n for_o i_o meddle_v not_o with_o lutheran_n in_o germany_n but_o that_o he_o will_v pass_v easy_o to_o be_v a_o puritan_n if_o some_o particular_a interest_n do_v not_o hinder_v he_o which_o can_v be_v presume_v of_o the_o mayor_n part_n and_o so_o in_o time_n if_o this_o religion_n hold_v in_o ingland_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o this_o party_n also_o of_o the_o puritan_n will_v certain_o forward_o in_o like_a manner_n and_o prevail_v against_o the_o other_o but_o especial_o if_o once_o a_o prince_n shall_v enter_v that_o do_v favour_v they_o indeed_o as_o easy_o may_v be_v imagine_v that_o any_o other_o protestant_n prince_n lighte_o will_v do_v after_o her_o majesty_n who_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o settle_v in_o this_o manner_n of_o government_n as_o her_o majesty_n be_v nor_o so_o persuade_v against_o thes_n man_n as_o this_o queen_n be_v and_o have_v be_v hitherto_o by_o all_o her_o councillor_n and_o by_o none_o more_o perhaps_o in_o time_n past_a then_o by_o my_o l._n tresorer_n who_o now_o be_v of_o a_o other_o mind_n and_o designment_n as_o be_v presume_v though_o he_o dare_v not_o utter_v it_o perchance_o to_o this_o queen_n yet_o will_v he_o easy_o find_v reason_n to_o persuade_v the_o same_o to_o a_o other_o prince_n that_o shall_v come_v after_o if_o he_o live_v to_o that_o day_n as_o perhaps_o he_o may_v hope_v to_o do_v allege_v and_o religion_n lay_v before_o he_o that_o now_o time_n cause_n and_o
circumstance_n be_v alter_v and_o see_v the_o puritan_n now_o so_o strong_a it_o may_v be_v dangerous_a to_o resist_v they_o and_o that_o their_o religion_n be_v not_o to_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o prince_n but_o rather_o to_o bring_v unto_o he_o for_o as_o the_o protestant_n religion_n bring_v abbey_n nunryes_n and_o other_o religious_a house_n to_o the_o temporal_a prince_n so_o this_o will_v bring_v archbishop_n rike_v tyme._n bishopricke_n deanryes_n archdeaconryes_n with_o other_o semblable_a good_a morsel_n of_o wealth_n by_o which_o reason_n it_o will_v not_o be_v hard_a to_o

likelihood_n that_o i_o conceive_v that_o puritan_n will_v prevail_v in_o time_n against_o the_o protestant_n and_o this_o time_n i_o believe_v be_v not_o so_o far_o of_o as_o that_o you_o shall_v ever_o see_v this_o act_n now_o make_v against_o they_o continue_v or_o renew_v in_o any_o other_o parliament_n &_o so_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o those_o of_o their_o party_n well_o understand_v it_o when_o they_o let_v this_o statute_n pass_v in_o this_o parliament_n rather_o to_o awaken_v the_o puritan_n thereby_o in_o deed_n then_o to_o seek_v their_o redress_n or_o conformitye_n in_o religion_n for_o what_o do_v you_o think_v that_o any_o puritan_n in_o the_o world_n will_v ever_o be_v force_v to_o make_v that_o form_n of_o recantation_n and_o humiliation_n to_o the_o protestant_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o statute_n to_o wit_n that_o i_o do_v humble_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o have_v grevous_o offend_v god_n in_o use_v and_o frequent_v disorder_v and_o unlawful_a conventicle_n under_o pretence_n &_o colour_n of_o exercise_n of_o religion_n etc._n etc._n nay_o i_o think_v very_o the_o protestant_n shall_v first_o make_v he_o eat_v his_o communion_n book_n which_o he_o so_o much_o dere_v before_o he_o shall_v drive_v he_o to_o make_v this_o recantation_n it_o may_v chance_v drive_v he_o to_o buckle_v with_o the_o protestant_n de_fw-fr summarei_fw-it somewhat_o soon_o than_o he_o have_v think_v before_o thereby_o to_o try_v which_o of_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o upper_a hand_n to_o force_v the_o other_o to_o recat_o but_o he_o i_o think_v very_o they_o shall_v never_o bring_v under_o but_o rather_o by_o egg_v of_o he_o put_v he_o soon_o up_o who_o first_o or_o last_o will_v rise_v above_o the_o other_o at_o leastwise_o this_o be_v my_o judgement_n of_o the_o matter_n take_v it_o as_o you_o wil._n and_o as_o for_o the_o papist_n i_o think_v the_o difficulty_n of_o victory_n be_v much_o less_o against_o he_o either_o for_o putitan_a or_o protestant_n that_o will_v be_v ride_v of_o he_o see_v that_o now_o by_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o have_v be_v say_v they_o have_v he_o by_o the_o leg_n and_o so_o tie_v up_o &_o limit_v as_o they_o may_v either_o ruin_v or_o weary_v he_o at_o their_o pleasure_n whensoever_o occasion_n or_o need_n shall_v require_v to_o this_o a_o other_o reply_v that_o as_o the_o puritan_n prevail_v have_v great_a opportunity_n to_o grow_v and_o go_v forward_o while_o the_o queen_n and_o council_n be_v occupy_v in_o repress_v papist_n so_o do_v not_o he_o think_v notwithstanding_o that_o their_o victory_n be_v so_o sure_a or_o easy_a on_o either_o side_n that_o be_v to_o say_v either_o against_o protestant_n or_o papist_n as_o this_o man_n make_v it_o for_o as_o for_o the_o state_n present_a say_v he_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o authority_n be_v so_o bend_v against_o they_o for_o see_v the_o ruin_n that_o by_o they_o be_v imminent_a as_o it_o be_v like_a they_o will_v never_o cease_v to_o pursue_v they_o &_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o protestant_n of_o zeal_n but_o will_v easy_o pass_v on_o to_o be_v a_o puritan_n except_o he_o be_v stay_v by_o interest_n it_o may_v be_v so_o in_o many_o who_o do_v only_o run_v forward_o from_o point_n to_o point_n of_o new_a doctrine_n and_o religion_n with_o such_o heat_n and_o greediness_n as_o they_o never_o look_v further_o but_o to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o they_o but_o in_o many_o other_o it_o may_v breed_v perhaps_o a_o contrary_a effect_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o will_v rather_o draw_v backward_o again_o consider_v there_o be_v no_o stay_n not_o end_n nor_o certanty_n in_o run_v so_o much_o forward_o as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o our_o day_n from_o papist_n to_o lutheran_n from_o lutheran_n to_o swinglians_n from_o swinglian_o to_o caluinist_n from_o caluinist_n to_o puritan_n and_o now_o last_o of_o all_o from_o puritan_n again_o of_o a_o mild_a sort_n unto_o heady_a brownist_n &_o this_o effect_n it_o be_v think_v this_o consideration_n may_v work_v especial_o in_o diverse_a of_o the_o privy_a council_n itself_o who_o be_v man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o ripe_a discourse_n will_v soon_o fall_v into_o such_o a_o account_n and_o this_o for_o the_o state_n present_a of_o ingland_n but_o as_o for_o any_o other_o prince_n protestant_n that_o may_v succeade_v follow_v hereafter_o the_o matter_n be_v uncertain_a how_o he_o will_v be_v incline_v in_o such_o a_o case_n and_o the_o reason_n which_o you_o allege_v that_o the_o puritan_n religion_n will_v take_v nothing_o from_o he_o but_o add_v much_o unto_o he_o as_o bishopricke_n deanrye_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v very_o doubtful_a with_o i_o how_o it_o will_v synck_v into_o he_o and_o to_o his_o council_n for_o first_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o puritan_n religion_n take_v from_o the_o prince_n all_o his_o primacy_n and_o authority_n ecclesiastical_a which_o in_o a_o protestant_n government_n be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a pillar_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o brownist_n also_o do_v take_v away_o his_o authority_n to_o make_v law_n appoint_v order_n &_o subiect_v he_o to_o the_o excommunication_n and_o censure_n of_o vulgar_a ministeres_n and_o mutinous_a congregation_n and_o the_o practice_n thereof_o we_o see_v partly_o in_o scotland_n where_o the_o king_n be_v toss_v and_o tumble_v by_o troublesome_a people_n as_o it_o please_v the_o minister_n without_o head_n to_o blow_v into_o their_o ear_n so_o as_o neither_o he_o nor_o they_o have_v any_o certainty_n of_o stay_n at_o all_o the_o reason_n also_o of_o add_v bishopricke_n and_o other_o ecclesiastical_a live_n to_o the_o crown_n be_v very_o doubtful_a and_o ambiguous_a with_o i_o for_o see_v they_o be_v already_o at_o the_o prince_n disposition_n i_o see_v not_o what_o great_a gift_n or_o addition_n it_o can_v be_v to_o he_o if_o any_o man_n will_v pull_v they_o down_o to_o his_o hand_n nay_o it_o be_v now_o by_o experience_n of_o some_o year_n bring_v in_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v profitable_a even_o for_o temporal_a respect_n unto_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o to_o pull_v down_o the_o monasterye_n altogether_o and_o distribute_v there_o possession_n to_o particular_a man_n as_o he_o do_v or_o to_o have_v permit_v they_o to_o stand_v and_o now_o and_o then_o to_o have_v fleeze_v they_o of_o their_o wealth_n see_v many_o be_v of_o opinion_n and_o so_o be_o i_o also_o that_o it_o be_v more_o gain_n full_a to_o sheer_a every_o year_n a_o sheep_n &_o now_o and_o then_o to_o pull_v of_o fruit_n from_o a_o tree_n then_o to_o take_v at_o one_o time_n the_o will_v and_o flesh_n of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o fruit_n &_o wood_n together_o of_o the_o other_o and_o this_o for_o the_o protestant_n in_o like_a manner_n i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o puritan_n victory_n against_o the_o papist_n be_v like_a to_o be_v so_o easy_a as_o extinguish_v you_o imagine_v for_o as_o for_o the_o massacre_n if_o any_o such_o thing_n shall_v be_v mtend_v as_o i_o will_v think_v rather_o no_o at_o least_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o it_o wilbe_n suffer_v
