a_o million_o who_o have_v embroil_v themselves_o in_o the_o dispute_v of_o the_o time_n yet_o dare_v i_o undertake_v to_o reduce_v the_o point_n in_o controversy_n to_o so_o short_a a_o issue_n and_o to_o set_v down_o such_o a_o course_n for_o the_o handle_n thereof_o that_o more_o of_o the_o truth_n shall_v be_v discover_v in_o this_o one_o conference_n than_o in_o all_o the_o other_o dispute_v

person_n of_o neither_o religion_n keep_v themselves_o to_o their_o own_o proper_a maxim_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o reject_v they_o i_o shall_v be_v too_o impudent_a to_o give_v it_o out_o if_o i_o

of_o we_o against_o the_o huguenot_n than_o they_o against_o we_o both_o party_n be_v faulty_a much_o alike_o be_v because_o he_o that_o will_v reform_v another_o must_v begin_v at_o himself_o the_o

of_o us._n amen_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o book_n the_o catholic_a apology_n have_v endeavour_v to_o acquit_v the_o huguenot_n of_o heresy_n by_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v for_o that_o the_o religion_n pretend_v to_o be_v reform_v be_v not_o heretical_a of_o itself_o for_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n be_v receive_v by_o the_o huguenot_n and_o that_o the_o ceremony_n which_o they_o have_v reject_v be_v unknown_a to_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o which_o two_o point_n viz._n doctrine_n and_o ceremony_n all_o religion_n be_v compose_v the_o second_o be_v that_o their_o religion_n have_v not_o be_v as_o yet_o condemn_v by_o any_o lawful_a judgement_n because_o that_o before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n it_o be_v not_o condemn_v in_o any_o general_n council_n and_o that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v neither_o lawful_a of_o itself_o nor_o as_o yet_o approve_v of_o in_o france_n upon_o which_o consideration_n albeit_o that_o the_o huguenot_n have_v wander_v from_o the_o true_a faith_n yet_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o proceed_v against_o they_o as_o against_o heretic_n until_o they_o have_v receive_v a_o arrest_n of_o condemnation_n from_o a_o general_a council_n no_o more_o th●n_n we_o can_v in_o justice_n put_v a_o malefactor_n to_o death_n although_o he_o be_v notorious_o capable_a until_o he_o be_v cast_v by_o the_o jury_n and_o have_v have_v his_o trial_n the_o author_n now_o of_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o apology_n in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o book_n from_o the_o five_o chapter_n to_o the_o fifteen_o travail_n hard_a to_o refute_v the_o foresay_a reason_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n he_o only_o propound_v his_o method_n in_o the_o six_o he_o will_v show_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o huguenot_n be_v quite_o another_o from_o that_o of_o the_o catholic_n in_o the_o seven_o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o modern_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v observe_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o the_o eight_o that_o the_o doctrine_n pretend_v to_o be_v reform_v stand_v condemn_v by_o ancient_a counsel_n in_o the_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13_o and_o 14._o he_o defend_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n whereof_o the_o 11_o 12_o and_o 13._o be_v to_o prove_v that_o that_o council_n be_v absolute_o lawful_a and_o the_o 9_o 10_o and_o 14._o that_o it_o be_v receive_v in_o france_n after_o which_o method_n i_o will_v also_o divide_v my_o defence_n into_o these_o six_o chapter_n 1._o in_o my_o first_o i_o will_v prove_v against_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o six_o chapter_n that_o the_o catholic_n and_o huguenot_n thus_o far_o agree_v in_o doctrine_n that_o they_o be_v both_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o religion_n 2._o in_o my_o second_o against_o his_o seven_o chapter_n that_o neither_o the_o catholic_n nor_o the_o huguenot_n do_v accord_n with_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o ceremony_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o huguenot_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v 3._o in_o my_o three_o against_o his_o eight_o that_o before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n they_o stand_v not_o public_o and_o lawful_o condemn_v 4._o in_o my_o four_o against_o his_o 11_o 12_o and_o 13._o chapter_n that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v not_o lawful_a 5._o in_o my_o five_o against_o his_o 9_o 10_o and_o 14._o chapter_n that_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v in_o france_n 6._o in_o my_o six_o and_o last_o i_o will_v conclude_v that_o the_o huguenot_n may_v be_v good_a right_n be_v still_o repute_v for_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a apostolic_a and_o roman_a church_n chap._n 1._o that_o the_o

to_o those_o catholic_n that_o be_v desirous_a of_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o church_n and_o state_n there_o be_v now_o thirty_o year_n and_o more_o at_o several_a time_n since_o we_o have_v have_v perpetual_a war_n with_o the_o huguenot_n as_o with_o rebel_n and_o heretic_n though_o we_o have_v perceive_v of_o late_a that_o our_o former_a opinion_n be_v wrongful_o conceive_v against_o they_o and_o we_o may_v be_v also_o mistake_v in_o the_o latter_a and_o that_o time_n which_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v not_o rebel_n may_v discover_v likewise_o unto_o we_o that_o they_o be_v not_o heretic_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v wish_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o we_o will_v entertain_v a_o charitable_a conceit_n of_o they_o till_o there_o be_v more_o evidence_n give_v in_o against_o they_o the_o bitter_a dissension_n in_o religion_n have_v be_v the_o springhead_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n that_o be_v it_o which_o bring_v they_o forth_o at_o first_o and_o which_o yet_o nurse_v they_o whence_o it_o be_v now_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o those_o man_n who_o be_v at_o this_o present_a disturber_n of_o the_o state_n have_v at_o the_o very_a selfsame_o time_n begin_v to_o raise_v tumult_n in_o the_o realm_n and_o to_o revive_v and_o exasperate_v the_o difference_n which_o we_o have_v in_o religion_n in_o such_o fashion_n as_o that_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o principal_a leaguer_n and_o the_o turbulent_a sermon_n of_o diverse_a preacher_n for_o i_o blame_v not_o all_o have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v hypocrates_n twin_n who_o go_v always_o together_o laugh_v always_o together_o and_o it_o may_v chance_v that_o these_o also_o may_v weep_v together_o and_o we_o have_v see_v the_o experience_n of_o it_o that_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o one_o have_v do_v more_o mischief_n than_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o other_o see_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o these_o late_a trouble_n the_o catholic_a apology_n have_v labour_v to_o qualify_v this_o heat_n and_o to_o confute_v the_o slander_n give_v out_o against_o the_o reform_a religion_n and_o those_o of_o it_o which_o apology_n have_v be_v in_o part_n refute_v but_o so_o cold_o that_o no_o proof_n which_o the_o confuter_n produce_v can_v make_v i_o see_v any_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v so_o peremptory_o condemn_v the_o huguenot_n for_o heretic_n although_o differ_v

these_o horrid_a act_n spring_v from_o the_o selfsame_o fountain_n and_o that_o only_a upon_o this_o ground_n too_o namely_o that_o the_o error_n of_o the_o huguenot_n be_v so_o exceed_o enormous_a

who_o his_o enemy_n make_v to_o be_v call_v great_a all_o the_o time_n that_o he_o continue_v protestant_n then_o who_o trouble_v we_o need_v seek_v no_o further_a example_n to_o show_v how_o god_n

to_o the_o king_n brief_o his_o enemy_n thrust_v arm_n into_o his_o hand_n for_o their_o own_o destruction_n and_o those_o device_n by_o which_o they_o have_v think_v to_o have_v chase_v he_o out_o of_o guienne_n have_v bring_v he_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o france_n and_o by_o the_o selfsame_o mean_n whereby_o they_o think_v to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n they_o have_v give_v he_o the_o
