of_o york_n and_o the_o church_n of_o bangor_n have_v some_o diversity_n in_o their_o manner_n of_o serve_v god_n and_o yet_o you_o will_v say_v they_o be_v all_o one_o popish_a church_n but_o to_o

be_v all_o one_o and_o luther_n differ_v from_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o so_o great_a but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o catholic_a church_n because_o they_o agree_v in_o the_o only_a foundation_n jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o all_o opinion_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n although_o luther_n in_o his_o opinion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o man_n be_v

see_v by_o this_o example_n s._n cyprian_n and_o all_o the_o church_n of_o africa_n be_v in_o this_o error_n that_o such_o as_o be_v baptize_v by_o heretic_n shall_v be_v baptize_v again_o which_o

but_o can_v hinder_v no_o learned_a man_n concern_v the_o controversy_n of_o luther_n and_o zwinglius_fw-la the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o we_o be_v depart_v from_o the_o church_n of_o geneva_n because_o we_o ascribe_v supreme_a government_n in_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n to_o the_o queen_n highness_n first_o we_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o we_o reverence_v and_o

upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o to_o follow_v every_o one_o as_o they_o come_v near_o to_o the_o same_o rule_n but_o whereas_o you_o will_v set_v that_o excellent_a godly_a

place_n one_o in_o his_o institution_n a_o other_o in_o his_o commentary_n of_o the_o prophet_n amos._n a_o man_n in_o deed_n from_o who_o we_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o dissent_n except_o it_o be_v for_o a_o great_a cause_n a_o man_n of_o such_o godly_a learning_n and_o profound_a knowledge_n in_o divinity_n as_o all_o the_o papist_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v not_o worthy_a to_o carry_v his_o book_n after_o he_o but_o before_o i_o answer_v you_o i_o must_v admonish_v you_o that_o either_o your_o copy_n which_o come_v to_o my_o hand_n be_v very_o much_o corrupt_v or_o else_o you_o have_v recite_v those_o place_n by_o hearsay_n rather_o than_o by_o your_o own_o observation_n your_o copy_n send_v i_o to_o the_o viij_o chapter_n of_o his_o institution_n name_a no_o book_n and_o to_o

be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o allege_v caluine_n against_o we_o where_o he_o say_v that_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v subject_n to_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n as_o theodosius_n be_v content_a to_o be_v excommunicate_v by_o saint_n ambrose_n for_o the_o murder_n he_o have_v commit_v in_o thessalonica_n which_o none_o of_o we_o deny_v and_o do_v not_o remember_v how_o substantial_o he_o

ascribe_v to_o the_o queen_n highness_n and_o as_o for_o the_o place_n of_o caluine_n upon_o amos_n the_o truth_n be_v this_o caluine_n find_v fault_n not_o with_o king_n henry_n but_o with_o those_o that_o do_v ascribe_v that_o title_n unto_o he_o and_o show_v for_o what_o reason_n he_o mislike_v the_o same_o not_o that_o he_o deny_v his_o lawful_a authority_n which_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o

in_o germany_n after_o the_o pope_n authority_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v abolish_v out_o of_o the_o realm_n he_o defend_v all_o popish_a religion_n which_o remain_v unreformed_a to_o be_v

it_o here_o in_o england_n or_o who_o do_v first_o ascribe_v it_o to_o king_n henry_n be_v it_o not_o the_o whole_a popish_a clergy_n of_o england_n when_o they_o be_v cast_v in_o the_o praemunire_n

there_o be_v any_o fault_n in_o it_o you_o shall_v blame_v they_o and_o not_o we_o for_o it_o for_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v right_o understand_v it_o declare_v the_o lawful_a power_n of_o the_o
