shall_v deny_v to_o be_v bishop_n and_o yet_o have_v very_o conscientious_o avoid_v marriage_n the_o apostle_n will_v not_o therefore_o that_o a_o bishop_n shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a of_o so_o much_o carnality_n as_o to_o be_v husband_n to_o two_o wife_n and_o the_o church_n teach_v by_o saint_n paul_n have_v forbid_v bigamy_n ever_o since_o and_o st._n paul_n only_o here_o lay_v down_o the_o rule_n of_o a_o bishop_n continence_n that_o h●●_n shall_v not_o take_v a_o second_o wife_n to_o the_o five_o i_o grant_v chastity_n to_o be_v free_a but_o necessary_a after_o it_o be_v vow_v and_o then_o command_v nor_o do_v that_o at_o all_o oppose_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o promote_v it_o for_o god_n himself_o do_v free_o and_o yet_o necessary_o produce_v the_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v true_a likewise_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v but_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v you_o likewise_o that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o touch_v a_o woman_n st._n paul_n will_v not_o have_v a_o man_n burn_v that_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o be_v burn_v that_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o flame_n of_o concupiscence_n and_o for_o such_o a_o man_n say_v he_o it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_o than_o to_o be_v always_o wallow_v in_o the_o mire_n if_o you_o will_v put_v any_o other_o sense_n upon_o st._n paul_n word_n you_o will_v make_v st._n paul_n himself_o to_o marry_v because_o he_o have_v a_o prick_n in_o his_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v confess_v that_o i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o contain_v but_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n and_o the_o violent_a take_v it_o as_o our_o saviour_n assure_v we_o and_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o though_o we_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o suffer_v not_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o we_o be_v able_a and_o will_v be_v always_o present_a to_o support_v we_o if_o we_o implore_v his_o help_n to_o the_o six_o to_o what_o you_o urge_v out_o of_o the_o same_o apostle_n to_o the_o cor._n that_o if_o thou_o marry_v thou_o have_v not_o sin_v etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v that_o st._n paul_n speak_v plain_o there_o of_o one_o that_o be_v free_a to_o marry_v or_o not_o to_o marry_v not_o i_o say_v of_o the_o virgin_n that_o have_v dedicate_v itself_o to_o god_n already_o but_o of_o that_o which_o be_v free_a and_o at_o its_o own_o dispose_n to_o the_o seven_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o our_o vow_n of_o virginity_n be_v vain_a and_o indeed_o foolish_a because_o impossible_a i_o do_v true_o grant_v as_o to_o nature_n a_o impossibility_n and_o so_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v absolute_o command_v but_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o assist_a grace_n of_o god_n nothing_o be_v impossible_a and_o every_o man_n be_v capable_a to_o receive_v that_o who_o god_n shall_v think_v worthy_a to_o bestow_v it_o upon_o and_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o any_o of_o he_o do_v trust_n in_o their_o external_a mortification_n at_o all_o but_o that_o god_n will_v please_v to_o assist_v those_o their_o endeavour_n with_o his_o almighty_a grace_n which_o he_o never_o deny_v to_o those_o that_o so_o dutiful_o and_o instant_o ask_v it_o as_o they_o do_v there_o be_v something_o else_o that_o you_o say_v in_o your_o argument_n which_o though_o it_o be_v sufficient_o answer_v i_o must_v desire_v you_o yet_o to_o advise_v better_o upon_o and_o think_v whether_o it_o be_v so_o well_o say_v of_o a_o woman_n for_o which_o very_a word_n luther_n himself_o as_o i_o be_o inform_v lose_v much_o of_o his_o credit_n with_o his_o own_o disciplc_n to_o what_o you_o allege_v against_o we_o for_o multiply_v of_o sacrament_n and_o make_v they_o as_o you_o say_v out_o of_o mere_a humane_a invention_n i_o answer_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o whereas_o you_o be_v please_v to_o begin_v so_o brisk_o with_o i_o and_o as_o i_o take_v it_o with_o a_o syllogism_n i_o profess_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a in_o the_o form_n but_o one_o proposition_n i_o be_o sure_a be_v false_a first_o that_o we_o have_v any_o supernumerary_a sacrament_n or_o any_o sacrament_n that_o be_v not_o of_o christ_n own_o institution_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o i_o will_v prove_v anon_o to_o the_o second_o whereas_o you_o say_v you_o have_v sufficient_o already_o convince_v the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n to_o be_v none_o by_o overthrow_v the_o part_n of_o it_o confession_n and_o satisfaction_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o i_o have_v sufficient_o in_o my_o reply_n restore_v that_o sacrament_n both_o in_o whole_a and_o in_o its_o part_n so_o shall_v insist_v upon_o it_o no_o further_a neither_o to_o the_o three_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o our_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n and_o order_n be_v but_o mere_a constitution_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o of_o christ_n i_o have_v but_o your_o bare_a word_n for_o it_o and_o so_o you_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o deny_v it_o to_o the_o four_o as_o you_o be_v please_v to_o give_v i_o something_o like_o a_o argument_n so_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o something_o like_o a_o answer_n you_o say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o pretence_n for_o to_o make_v matrimony_n a_o sacrament_n but_o a_o few_o mistake_a word_n of_o saint_n paul_n who_o have_v no_o power_n to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n neither_o etc._n etc._n i_o concur_v with_o you_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o to_o constitute_v a_o sacrament_n nor_o any_o but_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o constitute_v it_o a_o sacrament_n i_o shall_v prove_v ●non_o as_o for_o the_o mistake_a word_n in_o which_o you_o pretend_v sacrament_n for_o mystery_n i_o do_v confess_v that_o matrimony_n be_v a_o mystery_n but_o how_o dare_v you_o therefore_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v no_o sacrament_n when_o we_o know_v that_o all_o sacrament_n be_v mystery_n and_o so_o the_o greek_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v do_v general_o call_v all_o the_o seven_o then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sacrament_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v ever_o the_o less_o a_o sacrament_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o apostle_n here_o explain_v how_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v how_o it_o come_v to_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o a_o holy_a thing_n and_o that_o not_o of_o grace_n only_o as_o all_o the_o other_o be_v but_o of_o something_o more_o that_o be_v of_o the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n so_o upon_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v no_o sacrament_n that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o repute_v as_o a_o double_a one_o with_o reverence_n be_v it_o speak_v to_o the_o five_o whereas_o you_o say_v we_o have_v a_o less_o pretence_n for_o our_o extreme_a unction_n to_o make_v it_o a_o sacrament_n i_o do_v in_o one_o sense_n submit_v to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o literal_o constitute_v a_o sacrament_n by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n as_o the_o other_o be_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v of_o his_o own_o institution_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v anon_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o i_o do_v not_o find_v any_o matter_n of_o false_a faith_n in_o it_o that_o a_o apostle_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n and_o possess_v with_o his_o full_a authority_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n to_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o our_o saviour_n do_v institute_v it_o and_o saint_n james_n only_o publish_v and_o declare_v it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v at_o s●me_a time_n doubt_v whether_o that_o epistle_n be_v write_v by_o any_o body_n else_o beside_o saint_n james_n yet_o it_o be_v plain_o now_o admit_v to_o be_v canonical_a and_o never_o deny_v yet_o by_o your_o own_o church_n and_o true_o he_o that_o shall_v refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o church_n in_o this_o particular_a approve_v the_o epistle_n of_o this_o apostle_n will_v present_o throw_v all_o scripture_n into_o uncertainty_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v deny_v the_o epistle_n of_o st._n paul_n or_o any_o other_o apostle_n now_o because_o you_o seem_v to_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o our_o sacrament_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n humane_a constitution_n and_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o they_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n 3.15_o 1_o pet._n 3.15_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o st._n peter_n advise_v we_o always_o ready_a to_o give_v answer_n to_o every_o one_o that_o ask_v we_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o say_v and_o hope_v that_o be_v in_o we_o i_o shall_v take_v some_o pain_n to_o prove_v it_o to_o you_o thus_o as_o for_o our_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n as_o you_o
one_o argument_n against_o so_o foul_a a_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v this_o either_o image_n be_v command_v or_o commend_v for_o good_a mean_n of_o divine_a worship_n or_o they_o be_v not_o if_o they_o be_v then_o show_v it_o by_o scripture_n if_o they_o be_v not_o than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o will-worship_n and_o that_o all_o image_n be_v mere_a fond_a and_o vain_a thing_n that_o your_o doctrine_n of_o indulgence_n purgatory_n and_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v derogatory_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o abusive_a to_o the_o world_n iprove_v by_o scripture_n thus_o and_o first_o as_o to_o your_o business_n of_o indulgency_n i_o shall_v give_v but_o one_o blow_n and_o that_o i_o presume_v will_v be_v a_o mortal_a one_o out_o of_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o say_v for_o i_o reckon_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a time_n 8.18_o rom._n 8.18_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o glory_n which_o shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o i_o if_o then_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o saint_n upon_o earth_n be_v more_o then_o enough_o reward_v by_o the_o glory_n which_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o confer_v upon_o they_o in_o heaven_n how_o can_v there_o be_v a_o superabundance_n of_o their_o merit_n pick_v up_o by_o your_o church_n and_o lay_v up_o in_o a_o storehouse_n or_o treasury_n for_o the_o pope_n to_o take_v out_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o apply_v to_o the_o use_n and_o advantage_n of_o other_o man_n which_o be_v as_o i_o be_o inform_v the_o profane_a and_o sottish_a opinion_n of_o your_o church_n then_o as_o to_o your_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n i_o shall_v disprove_v it_o thus_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n mention_n but_o two_o way_n for_o soul_n to_o go_v the_o one_o to_o everlasting_a life_n 5.29_o dan._n 11.2_o matth._n 25.46_o john_n 5.29_o the_o other_o to_o everlasting_a contempt_n our_o saviour_n do_v mention_v no_o more_o and_o these_o shall_v go_v away_o into_o everlasting_a punishment_n but_o the_o righteous_a into_o life_n eternal_a so_o st._n matthew_n and_o again_o in_o st._n john_n gospel_n they_o that_o have_v do_v good_a unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o they_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o damnation_n how_o dare_v any_o man_n invent_v a_o three_o place_n upon_o his_o own_o head_n when_o god_n himself_o have_v appoint_v but_o two_o again_o the_o scripture_n plain_o tell_v we_o that_o those_o which_o be_v to_o be_v save_v go_v immediate_o to_o heaven_n without_o any_o stop_n or_o stay_v by_o the_o way_n therefore_o your_o purgatory_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n 23.43_o luk._n 23.43_o as_o first_o we_o find_v in_o saint_n luke_n gospel_n our_o saviour_n own_o word_n to_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n that_o be_v understand_v immediate_o after_o his_o death_n without_o any_o delay_n in_o purgatory_n 1.23_o phil._n 1.23_o or_o else_o where_o then_o again_o st._n paul_n tell_v the_o philipian_o that_o he_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o depart_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n therefore_o after_o departure_n the_o save_v soul_n go_v immediate_o to_o christ_n without_o any_o rub_v stop_n or_o stay_v by_o the_o way_n what_o then_o be_v become_v of_o your_o pitiful_a purgatory_n so_o i_o presume_v i_o need_v not_o trouble_v your_o ladyship_n with_o any_o more_o argument_n to_o convince_v so_o foul_a a_o error_n i_o shall_v only_o produce_v one_o or_o two_o more_o against_o your_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v a_o consequent_a of_o your_o purgatory_n and_o so_o conclude_v this_o paper_n that_o your_o doctrine_n of_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o impertinent_a piece_n of_o devotion_n and_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n i_o prove_v thus_o 1._o it_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o any_o reasonable_a person_n in_o this_o point_n to_o have_v disprove_v purgatory_n as_o i_o have_v do_v already_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n there_o can_v be_v no_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a useful_a at_o all_o but_o i_o will_v proceed_v more_o particular_o to_o prove_v against_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a thus_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n not_o only_o forbid_v to_o pray_v but_o to_o weep_v for_o the_o dead_a say_v weep_v you_o not_o for_o the_o dead_a 22.10_o jer._n 22.10_o neither_o bemoan_v he_o but_o weep_v for_o he_o that_o go_v astray_o etc._n etc._n if_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o be_v weep_v for_o they_o be_v mch_o less_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o be_v pray_v for_o and_o by_o consequence_n again_o there_o can_v be_v no_o purgatory_n 2._o 7.13_o luk._n 7.13_o our_o saviour_n again_o in_o like_a manner_n forbid_v the_o widow_n to_o weep_v for_o her_o son_n that_o be_v dead_a so_o still_o it_o follow_v if_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o weep_v than_o no_o purgatory_n and_o if_o no_o purgatory_n than_o no_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a 3_o and_o last_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v 18_o 1_o thes_n 14.13_o 14_o 15.16_o 17_o 18_o and_o the_o conviction_n of_o all_o gainsayer_n observe_v what_o st._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o thessalonian_o but_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o be_v ignorant_a brethren_n concern_v they_o which_o be_v asleep_a that_o you_o s●rrow_v not_o even_o as_o other_o which_o have_v no_o hope_n for_o if_o we_o believ_n etc._n etc._n so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n comfort_v they_o with_o a_o assurance_n of_o resurrection_n to_o life_n eternal_a without_o any_o the_o least_o mention_n of_o purgatory_n or_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a this_o paper_n my_o lady_n have_v at_o

the_o same_o fallacy_n along_o with_o they_o all_o and_o i_o do_v wonder_n you_o shall_v be_v so_o delude_v by_o the_o sophism_n of_o your_o doctor_n for_o those_o very_a argument_n that_o they_o have_v furnish_v you_o withal_o against_o we_o in_o this_o point_n do_v as_o well_o take_v away_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n live_v upon_o earth_n as_o the_o intercession_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n for_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a consequence_n god_n be_v only_o to_o be_v worship_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o invoke_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n than_o this_o must_v be_v a_o good_a consequence_n too_o god_n be_v only_o to_o be_v worship_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o invoke_v or_o desire_v the_o saint_n on_o earth_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o for_o this_o word_n only_o exclude_v as_o well_o one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o must_v of_o necessity_n as_o well_o condemn_v the_o invocation_n of_o the_o saint_n militant_a which_o all_o of_o you_o use_v and_o the_o apostle_n himself_o do_v too_o as_o the_o invocation_n of_o the_o saint_n triumphant_a beside_o we_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o pray_v and_o ask_v of_o god_n and_o to_o pray_v and_o ask_v in_o jesus_n his_o name_n and_o to_o pray_v and_o to_o ask_v with_o confidence_n as_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o but_o nothing_o of_o all_o this_o can_v make_v a_o exclusion_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o by_o the_o saint_n as_o our_o fellow_n member_n we_o pray_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n our_o head_n wherefore_o our_o church_n always_o do_v conclude_v its_o collect_v of_o the_o saint_n with_o through_o jesus_n chir_v our_o lord_n and_o you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o though_o god_n be_v most_o

but_o we_o worship_v not_o the_o saint_n for_o god_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o at_o all_o prohibit_v by_o that_o commandment_n to_o set_v up_o their_o image_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o

and_o so_o we_o concur_v with_o you_o for_o if_o to_o make_v and_o erect_v image_n be_v absolute_o and_o in_o itself_o unlawful_a than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o moses_n himself_o have_v sin_v

lest_o they_o be_v convince_v to_o be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o antichrist_n but_o yet_o more_o plain_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o st._n 3._o heb._n 5.1_o 2_o 3._o paul_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o

some_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a doctor_n have_v conclude_v that_o they_o be_v but_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n i_o say_v that_o though_o the_o laity_n do_v not_o all_o of_o they_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o the_o mass_n yet_o they_o do_v perfect_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o it_o which_o they_o learn_v from_o their_o cradle_n either_o by_o instruction_n of_o their_o parent_n and_o

upon_o this_o point_n touch_v but_o upon_o one_o string_n but_o i_o will_v yet_o show_v you_o how_o much_o use_n and_o edification_n more_o the_o people_n do_v receive_v by_o our_o mass_n though_o in_o latin_n first_o there_o be_v very_o much_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o it_o and_o by_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v and_o instil_v instruction_n into_o our_o heart_n though_o
