god_n name_n be_v bless_v for_o it_o the_o heavenly_a food_n the_o spiritual_a manna_n of_o which_o he_o that_o feed_v shall_v never_o more_o hunger_n and_o here_o belove_v give_v i_o leave_v according_a to_o promise_v to_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n for_o forsake_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n first_o for_o that_o contrary_a to_o the_o express_a will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n exod._n 20._o they_o make_v to_o themselves_o grave_v image_n they_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o they_o and_o worship_v they_o give_v they_o the_o glory_n belong_v to_o god_n only_o who_o say_v i_o be_o the_o eternal_a that_o be_v my_o name_n i_o will_v not_o give_v my_o glory_n to_o another_o nor_o my_o praise_n to_o grave_a image_n 2._o because_o they_o do_v adore_v and_o worship_v other_o than_o god_n contrary_a to_o the_o say_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n math._n 4.10_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v 3._o for_o that_o they_o believe_v that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v by_o the_o name_n of_o other_o creature_n contrary_a to_o that_o act_v 4._o so_o speak_v by_o saint_n peter_n touch_v our_o saviour_n christ._n neither_o be_v there_o salvation_n in_o any_o other_o for_o among_o man_n there_o be_v give_v none_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o must_v be_v save_v 4._o because_o they_o take_v from_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o teach_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o their_o own_o work_n gal._n 2_o 21._o for_o if_o righteousness_n be_v by_o the_o law_n than_o christ_n die_v without_o cause_n and_o in_o the_o 16._o know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o ephas_n 2.9_o not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v himself_o 5._o because_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o man_n of_o the_o church_n as_o they_o say_v have_v power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n speak_v isa._n 43._o i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o put_v away_o thy_o iniquitias_fw-la for_o my_o own_o sake_n and_o will_v not_o remember_v thy_o sin_n 6._o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n confess_v with_o the_o christian_a reform_a church_n that_o our_o saviour_n take_v flesh_n only_o of_o the_o virgin_n and_o yet_o make_v they_o to_o themselves_o out_o of_o bread_n a_o jesus_n christ_n of_o flesh_n as_o they_o say_v to_o be_v their_o daily_a sacrifice_n 7._o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n offend_v in_o say_v that_o they_o sacrifice_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o live_v and_o the_o dead_a against_o that_o which_o st._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o heb._n 9.14_o which_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n '_o and_o 10.14_o for_o with_o one_o offering_n have_v he_o consecrate_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v 8._o because_o in_o the_o romish_a church_n they_o have_v take_v from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o teach_v in_o the_o same_o church_n a_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o fast_n pilgrimage_n and_o the_o like_a which_o i_o neither_o believe_v nor_o find_v warrant_v by_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n 9_o because_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o hold_v some_o meat_n create_v good_a by_o god_n for_o some_o certain_a time_n pollute_v and_o unclean_a against_o the_o say_n of_o st._n paul_n 1_o tim._n 4.4_o for_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o nothing_o aught_o to_o be_v refuse_v if_o it_o be_v receive_v with_o thanksgiving_n 10._o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n prohibit_v people_n to_o marry_v which_o god_n have_v not_o forbid_v and_o st._n paul_n call_v that_o a_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 1●_n tim._n 4.3_o forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o mere_n which_o god_n have_v create_v etc._n etc._n 11._o because_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o teach_v other_o purge_n then_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n against_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o ●_o heb._n 12._o by_o his_o own_o blood_n enter_v he_o once_o into_o the_o holy_a plac●_n and_o obtain_v eternal_a remission_n for_o us._n and_o john_n 1.7_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n clease_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n 12._o because_o i_o believe_v a_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o worship_v what_o he_o eat_v nor_o to_o eat_v that_o he_o worship_v nor_o that_o any_o thing_n we_o eat_v can_v be_v god_n this_o appear_v unto_o i_o not_o only_o impious_a but_o horrible_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o teach_v that_o a_o mortal_a man_n eat_v his_o creator_n these_o reason_n with_o many_o more_o hinder_v my_o journey_n to_o rome_n or_o to_o take_v my_o baptism_n from_o that_o church_n or_o minister_n thereof_o who_o teach_v thing_n so_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n neither_o will_v i_o join_v myself_o to_o the_o anabaptist_n my_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o deny_v the_o true_a humane_a body_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n say_v he_o take_v no_o part_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n but_o only_o pass_v through_o her_o body_n as_o water_v through_o a_o conduit_n without_o participate_v of_o any_o of_o the_o substance_n and_o so_o consequent_o sin_v against_o the_o article_n of_o our_o belief_n which_o say_v that_o he_o be_v borue_a of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n so_o that_o take_v away_o his_o humanity_n they_o make_v he_o not_o alike_o unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n sin_n except_v as_o the_o apostle_n have_v aver_v he_o i_o therefore_o utter_o renounce_v all_o impiety_n and_o all_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n embrace_v the_o holy_a christian_a faith_n to_o live_v and_o die_v according_a to_o god_n holy_a word_n not_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n for_o which_o cause_n i_o know_v i_o shall_v be_v abandon_v

of_o father_n mother_n brother_n sister_n and_o hate_v of_o all_o my_o nation_n for_o the_o bless_a name_n of_o christ_n who_o have_v prophesy_v that_o the_o father_n shall_v be_v against_o the_o
