we_o a_o direct_a way_n that_o fool_n can_v err_v by_o it_o for_o we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n whole_a thousand_o of_o man_n very_o wise_a and_o learned_a whilst_o they_o follow_v the_o scripture_n with_o all_o sincerity_n as_o they_o most_o solemn_o protest_v from_o their_o heart_n to_o follow_v a_o world_n of_o quite_o contrary_a way_n in_o matter_n of_o high_a importance_n to_o salvation_n and_o consequent_o all_o these_o multitude_n of_o wise_a man_n but_o those_o who_o go_v one_o only_o of_o these_o way_n must_v needs_o go_v astray_o now_o if_o wise_a man_n in_o so_o great_a multitude_n do_v so_o strange_o stray_v whilst_o in_o all_o sincerity_n as_o they_o protest_v they_o follow_v this_o way_n how_o be_v it_o true_a that_o fool_n can_v err_v by_o it_o do_v not_o st._n austin_n and_o all_o the_o great_a doctor_n that_o ever_o the_o church_n have_v profess_v themselves_o unable_a to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o this_o after_o many_o year_n study_v in_o

great_a variety_n of_o opinion_n about_o the_o true_a canon_n of_o scripture_n and_o a_o far_o great_a variety_n about_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o so_o many_o most_o important_a place_n of_o the_o true_a canon_n of_o scripture_n come_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n the_o infallible_a and_o undoubted_a truth_n and_o this_o so_o assure_o that_o they_o may_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n upon_o their_o private_a judgement_n of_o discretion_n settle_v their_o faith_n unmovable_o in_o point_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v so_o mighty_o call_v into_o doubt_n by_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n yea_o that_o whole_a general_n counsel_n have_v unanimous_o define_v the_o contrary_a and_o believe_v those_o place_n of_o scripture_n not_o to_o say_v that_o to_o be_v so_o which_o for_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n they_o still_o say_v and_o firm_o believe_v to_o be_v so_o be_v not_o such_o a_o belief_n main_o to_o be_v suspect_v even_o in_o the_o wise_a and_o learn_a man_n and_o will_v you_o then_o say_v still_o that_o this_o be_v a_o direct_a way_n unto_o we_o so_o that_o fool_n can_v err_v by_o it_o the_o contrary_a will_n yet_o appear_v far_o more_o clear_o when_o

we_o by_o a_o way_n so_o direct_a unto_o we_o that_o fool_n can_v err_v by_o it_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o scripture_n not_o to_o be_v this_o judge_n be_v this_o there_o be_v many_o

work_v upon_o saturdaye_n and_o sunday_n how_o will_v this_o controversy_n be_v decide_v by_o the_o scripture_n all_o the_o old_a scripture_n command_v strict_o the_o not_o work_v upon_o saturdaye_n and_o no_o one_o single_a word_n of_o the_o new_a scripture_n do_v assure_v we_o that_o this_o command_n be_v ever_o by_o lawful_a authority_n take_v away_o or_o that_o there_o be_v the_o least_o

know_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v at_o one_o time_n appoint_v for_o the_o gather_n of_o alm_n for_o poor_a christian_n but_o how_o do_v this_o or_o any_o of_o the_o former_a place_n prove_v the_o commandment_n of_o not_o work_v on_o the_o saturday_n to_o be_v take_v quite_o away_o and_o that_o undoubted_o or_o how_o do_v any_o of_o these_o place_n impose_v upon_o all_o

in_o scripture_n that_o such_o a_o change_n be_v make_v on_o that_o ground_n yea_o if_o we_o stand_v even_o to_o the_o new_a scripture_n our_o adversary_n the_o jew_n will_v be_v too_o hard_a for_o

10._o luke_n 18._o you_o see_v here_o will_n a_o jew_n or_o some_o new_a sectary_n say_v unto_o we_o that_o even_o in_o our_o new_a law_n our_o own_o lawmaker_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n command_v

which_o reason_n also_o hold_v still_o for_o still_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o he_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o for_o the_o foresay_a reason_n how_o come_v this_o sanctification_n and_o blessing_n to_o be_v lose_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v still_o as_o good_a as_o ever_o and_o why_o then_o will_n this_o jew_n or_o sectarist_n say_v shall_v we_o prefer_v the_o keep_n of_o any_o other_o day_n before_o this_o which_o have_v so_o good_a a_o reason_n that_o you_o can_v give_v a_o better_a at_o least_o undoubted_o better_a and_o which_o have_v so_o manifest_a authority_n of_o the_o old_a and_o of_o the_o new_a scripture_n even_o three_o of_o the_o four_o evangelist_n and_o also_o in_o st._n paul_n whereas_o for_o the_o take_v

convince_v this_o argument_n be_v unanswerable_a to_o those_o who_o make_v the_o scripture_n the_o sole_a judge_n of_o controversy_n again_o these_o jew_n and_o new_a sectary_n will_v press_v we_o that_o our_o own_o scripture_n which_o we_o hold_v only_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n in_o all_o controversy_n do_v clear_o tell_v we_o that_o even_o in_o the_o new_a law_n it_o be_v say_v act._n 15._o it_o have_v seem_v good_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o apostle_n of_o the_o new_a law_n to_o lay_v no_o further_o burden_n upon_o you_o than_o these_o necessary_a thing_n that_o you_o

follow_a instance_n to_o be_v of_o the_o necessary_n i_o deny_v the_o antecedent_n in_o both_o branch_n if_o not_o i_o deny_v your_o supposition_n take_v you_o in_o the_o former_a sense_n i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o many_o controversy_n necessary_a to_o be_v determine_v unto_o salvation_n which_o may_v not_o undoubted_o be_v decide_v by_o scripture_n and_o also_o i_o say_v there_o

second_o branch_n i_o deny_v because_o we_o can_v expect_v any_o new_a necessary_n and_o a_o new_a tradition_n be_v a_o certain_a contradiction_n now_o to_o answer_v to_o your_o particular_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o antecedent_n controversy_n may_v be_v move_v you_o say_v concern_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o work_v and_o not_o work_v of_o saturdaye_n and_o sunday_n how_o will_v this_o

agreeable_a by_o good_a analogle_v that_o christian_n shall_v keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n now_o the_o moment_n in_o scripture_n for_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o day_n be_v several_a the_o appellation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n most_o likely_a of_o the_o day_n we_o keep_v the_o meeting_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o break_v of_o bread_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o order_n for_o the_o provision_n for_o the_o poor_a by_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n to_o these_o we_o add_v the_o syriack_n interpretation_n which_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o 11._o chapter_n and_o the_o 20._o verse_n express_v it_o thus_o when_o therefore_o you_o meet_v you_o do_v not_o as_o it_o be_v just_a on_o the_o lord_n day_n eat_v and_o drink_v which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o communion_n according_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n and_o therefore_o may_v we_o think_v that_o this_o point_n of_o practice_n be_v so_o competent_o set_v out_o in_o scripture_n as_o that_o we_o can_v suspend_v the_o usage_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n since_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o the_o church_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o former_a consideration_n to_o celebrate_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o

under_o the_o divine_a commandment_n and_o be_v none_o of_o those_o thing_n wherein_o the_o church_n have_v power_n because_o as_o you_o will_v confess_v it_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o rescinde_v

by_o necessity_n of_o mean_a then_o be_v this_o example_n of_o you_o impertinent_a and_o so_o this_o argument_n unanswerable_a as_o you_o esteem_v it_o be_v without_o much_o labour_n answer_v by_o

this_o second_o answer_n to_o your_o first_o instance_n may_v be_v available_a for_o your_o satisfaction_n in_o your_o second_o instance_n from_o the_o 15._o of_o the_o acts._n for_o if_o those_o
