here_o i_o reply_v that_o we_o have_v scripture_n too_o and_o that_o you_o can_v bring_v sufficient_a evidence_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v against_o we_o and_o with_o you_o for_o trial_n of_o this_o i_o be_o content_v according_a to_o your_o desire_n to_o abstract_n from_o all_o other_o mean_n what_o soever_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o learned_a father_n from_o the_o definition_n of_o general_a counsel_n from_o consent_n of_o nation_n and_o other_o argument_n of_o that_o kind_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o scripture_n alone_o will_v approve_v or_o condenne_v our_o religion_n and_o because_o in_o deduce_v a_o consequence_n out_o of_o obscure_a premise_n a_o man_n wit_n may_v be_v deceive_v i_o will_v abstract_n from_o this_o also_o that_o be_v from_o draw_v consequence_n out_o of_o scripture_n look_v only_o to_o that_o which_o be_v and_o necessary_o must_v be_v true_a and_o which_o be_v formal_o avouch_v or_o deny_v in_o god_n word_n and_o i_o argue_v thus_o the_o scripture_n do_v no_o where_o formal_o deny_v any_o point_n of_o our_o faith_n nor_o formal_o affirm_v any_o point_n which_o our_o church_n do_v deny_v therefore_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o formal_o condemn_v us._n i_o say_v formal_o for_o your_o consequence_n be_v not_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o i_o abstract_n as_o i_o say_v from_o they_o as_o impertinent_a to_o the_o term_n and_o state_n of_o this_o question_n wherein_o now_o we_o be_v 27._o to_o this_o argument_n you_o and_o your_o fellow_n make_v answer_n by_o allegation_n of_o scripture_n against_o we_o the_o chief_a i_o will_v brief_o run_v over_o here_o the_o rest_n shall_v be_v answer_v in_o other_o place_n as_o it_o come_v we_o honour_v image_n 20.4_o ex._n 20.4_o impp._n honoraria_fw-la adoratione_n non_fw-la

and_o this_o we_o do_v not_o give_v to_o picture_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o answer_n be_v clear_a by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n wherein_o allmightie_a god_n reserve_v his_o sovereignty_n and_o the_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n unto_o himself_o as_o be_v the_o only_a god_n and_o none_o god_n but_o he_o to_o help_v out_o your_o argument_n here_o you_o add_v a_o word_n of_o your_o own_o to_o the_o text_n and_o read_v thou_o shall_v make_v to_o thou_o not_o grave_v image_n whereas_o the_o hebrew_n word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v not_o signify_v a_o image_n but_o

wherefore_o this_o place_n be_v not_o against_o us._n and_o if_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v the_o scripture_n to_o contradict_v we_o in_o this_o point_n since_o contradiction_n must_v be_v

do_v honour_n their_o prince_n their_o parent_n &c_n &c_n let_v we_o hear_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n the_o opposite_a of_o that_o which_o we_o say_v we_o be_v this_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o

be_v not_o lawful_a to_o give_v such_o a_o honour_n unto_o image_n show_v this_o proposition_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o condemn_v we_o otherwise_o it_o be_v impertinent_a and_o because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v not_o there_o at_o all_o i_o go_v to_o the_o next_o wherein_o you_o labour_v to_o knock_v our_o church_n on_o the_o head_n by_o prove_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v antichrist_n 28._o the_o

all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n or_o that_o be_v worship_v how_o then_o can_v you_o imagine_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v antichrist_n again_o the_o pope_n do_v worship_n and_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o

than_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n and_o thus_o to_o sit_v in_o god_n temple_n moreover_o s._n peter_n do_v sit_v as_o vicar_n and_o pastor_n in_o the_o church_n 21.18_o matth._n 16.18_o io._n

as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v antichrist_n and_o he_o be_v senseless_a that_o will_v avouch_v it_o since_o antichrist_n be_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o servant_n but_o a_o
