enoch_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v believe_v before_o the_o flood_n we_o believe_v as_o abraham_n isaac_n &_o jaacob_n do_v believe_v &_o the_o other_o godly_a patriarch_n

that_o you_o believe_v as_o the_o holy_a father_n before_o the_o flow_v as_o the_o patriarch_n after_o the_o flood_n as_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n then_o doubtless_o you_o be_v in_o the_o right_a

you_o boast_v of_o from_o who_o we_o separate_v ourselves_o be_v no_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o in_o depart_v from_o they_o we_o depart_v not_o from_o the_o apostle_n who_o

not_o the_o church_n if_o you_o may_v take_v they_o after_o your_o own_o interpretation_n than_o you_o will_v do_v well_o enough_o but_o the_o church_n which_o we_o be_v be_v to_o interpret_v they_o

which_o you_o do_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n peter_n do_v make_v for_o we_o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a do_v pervert_v not_o only_o those_o hard_a thing_n but_o

3._o 1._o tim._n 3._o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n &_o ground_n of_o truth_n then_o i_o reason_v thus_o the_o unlearned_a do_v pervert_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o

and_o because_o the_o
most_o corrupt_a either_o in_o manner_n or_o withstand_v the_o true_a prophet_n yet_o they_o remain_v still_o the_o church_n and_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o temple_n be_v not_o to_o

will_v answer_v you_o that_o this_o argument_n may_v easy_o be_v deny_v when_o you_o say_v those_o which_o do_v forsake_v the_o worship_n in_o the_o temple_n be_v apostat_n therefore_o those_o which_o forsake_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v heretic_n and_o apostat_n for_o to_o make_v this_o hold_n you_o must_v first_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v tie_v his_o religion_n now_o to_o rome_n as_o he_o have_v then_o to_o the_o temple_n and_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v rome_n as_o he_o then_o choose_v mount_n zion_n which_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v because_o it_o be_v most_o

that_o be_v a_o heretic_n for_o if_o any_o do_v depart_v from_o worship_v in_o the_o temple_n he_o be_v not_o a_o apostate_n for_o depart_v from_o wicked_a priest_n but_o for_o refuse_v that_o which_o

&_o so_o christ_n send_v the_o leper_n which_o he_o have_v cleanse_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n command_v by_o moses_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v &_o to_o be_v do_v no_o where_o but_o in_o
