in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o accusation_n now_o let_v we_o see_v wherein_o you_o be_v better_a first_o you_o propound_v two_o general_a point_n that_o it_o forbid_v express_o all_o vice_n and_o prescribe_v law_n contrary_a to_o liberty_n and_o be_v you_o able_a to_o charge_v we_o with_o the_o contrary_a do_v we_o not_o more_o strict_o interpret_v the_o law_n of_o god_n than_o you_o do_v be_v we_o not_o further_o from_o idolatry_n allow_v no_o religious_a 94._o use_n of_o any_o image_n do_v we_o not_o more_o abhor_v swear_v and_o expound_v the_o three_o commandment_n against_o your_o profane_a oath_n of_o mass_n marry_o lady_n and_o all_o your_o saint_n which_o you_o account_v matter_n of_o small_a moment_n who_o teach_v man_n to_o keep_v the_o whole_a sabbath_n you_o or_o we_o who_o make_v a_o main_a point_n of_o god_n law_n the_o love_n of_o our_o enemy_n a_o counsel_n and_o not_o a_o commandment_n we_o or_o you_o who_o maintain_v aequivocation_n &_o officious_a lie_n but_o you_o be_v not_o you_o they_o that_o hold_v murder_v of_o prince_n yea_o even_o of_o your_o own_o sovereign_n to_o be_v meritorious_a work_n what_o shall_v i_o name_v particular_n you_o be_v the_o man_n that_o make_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o want_n of_o righteousness_n that_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o us._n you_o be_v the_o man_n who_o

rush_v into_o they_o without_o fear_n or_o shame_n your_o second_o point_n be_v that_o your_o religion_n contain_v most_o sovereign_a mean_n to_o incite_v man_n to_o perfect_a virtue_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n what_o more_o sovereign_a than_o god_n have_v appoint_v in_o his_o word_n you_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o say_v so_o for_o very_a shame_n of_o the_o world_n it_o remain_v then_o that_o you_o show_v what_o mean_v we_o neglect_v of_o all_o they_o that_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o use_v do_v we_o not_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n to_o our_o people_n do_v we_o not_o

piece_n by_o piece_n this_o first_o point_n give_v a_o taste_n of_o that_o main_a difference_n which_o may_v be_v observe_v betwixt_o your_o religion_n and_o we_o you_o so_o carry_v the_o matter_n that_o you_o always_o provide_v for_o the_o freedom_n of_o man_n will_n whatsoever_o become_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o make_v it_o our_o chief_a care_n to_o advance_v god_n glory_n though_o thereby_o we_o take_v somewhat_o from_o the_o pride_n of_o man_n let_v we_o make_v this_o manifest_a in_o the_o particular_a question_n we_o have_v in_o hand_n wherein_o first_o we_o grant_v as_o much_o as_o you_o affirm_v that_o god_n predestination_n do_v not_o take_v away_o man_n free_a will_n but_o herein_o lie_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o you_o and_o we_o you_o teach_v that_o god_n do_v only_o give_v a_o man_n ability_n to_o believe_v and_o do_v good_a work_n leave_v it_o to_o himself_o to_o believe_v or_o not_o to_o believe_v to_o do_v good_a or_o not_o to_o do_v good_a we_o contrariwise_o avouch_v that_o god_n beside_o this_o ability_n do_v also_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o believe_v and_o do_v according_a to_o his_o own_o holy_a purpose_n yet_o do_v we_o not_o any_o way_n imagine_v that_o a_o man_n be_v force_v to_o believe_v but_o only_o teach_v that_o whereas_o any_o man_n believe_v it_o be_v fore_o appoint_v by_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v believe_v neither_o can_v it_o in_o the_o event_n otherwise_o fall_v out_o though_o he_o do_v believe_v willing_o and_o by_o his_o own_o choice_n 4._o your_o doctrine_n make_v a_o man_n more_o behold_v to_o himself_o then_o to_o god_n for_o his_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n because_o god_n do_v no_o more_o for_o he_o than_o he_o do_v ordinary_o for_o many_o other_o man_n who_o be_v yet_o utter_o cast_v away_o god_n indeed_o give_v he_o ability_n to_o believe_v if_o he_o will_v but_o for_o all_o that_o he_o may_v have_v refuse_v to_o believe_v and_o so_o have_v be_v damn_v therefore_o whereas_o he_o do_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v he_o may_v thank_v himself_o and_o not_o god_n thus_o you_o provide_v for_o man_n free_a will_n with_o the_o impeachment_n of_o god_n glory_n we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n acknowledge_v that_o as_o we_o have_v power_n to_o believe_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v our_o heart_n to_o believe_v and_o certain_o and_o necessary_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o event_n though_o free_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o will_n bring_v we_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o you_o by_o this_o opinion_n give_v man_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o salvation_n we_o leave_v it_o whole_o to_o god_n now_o for_o the_o despair_n of_o shun_v evil_a and_o do_v well_o which_o in_o your_o conceit_n ensue_v upon_o our_o opinion_n there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n who_o shall_v be_v in_o despair_n of_o shun_v sin_n by_o this_o doctrine_n no_o man_n that_o have_v grace_n for_o with_o he_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v always_o present_a to_o
