will_v prove_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o minister_n contain_v point_n contrary_a to_o the_o principal_a article_n of_o the_o creed_n the_o first_o be_v against_o the_o article_n of_o the_o

a_o other_o while_o they_o confess_v for_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o virgin_n marie_n remain_v a_o virgin_n after_o
because_o man_n do_v allege_v &_o propose_v many_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n be_v maintain_v true_a in_o their_o word_n it_o must_v

that_o there_o be_v danger_n if_o this_o question_n be_v maintain_v as_o impossible_a to_o god_n that_o each_o one_o therein_o will_v dare_v as_o much_o allege_v the_o same_o example_n which_o the_o

may_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n in_o a_o other_o sense_n say_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v impossible_a to_o god_n by_o the_o natural_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n even_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v change_v and_o alter_v the_o scripture_n which_o say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o two_o place_n to_o wit_n the_o word_n of_o the_o supper_n

be_v impossible_a to_o god_n so_o say_v the_o doctor_n that_o each_o one_o will_v corrupt_v the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v impossible_a unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v the_o scripture_n be_v otherwise_o understand_v and_o notwithstanding_o it_o may_v be_v because_o it_o displease_v he_o and_o yet_o will_v he_o bring_v forth_o the_o selfsame_o reason_n and_o allegation_n as_o do_v the_o minister_n to_o show_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o possible_a to_o god_n the_o doctor_n do_v again_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o maintain_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o truth_n thereof_o albeit_o it_o propose_v in_o our_o judgement_n incomprehensible_a and_o impossible_a thing_n then_o to_o open_v a_o gap_n for_o every_o

for_o the_o same_o some_o example_n they_o will_v not_o omit_v that_o the_o minister_n who_o have_v often_o protest_v to_o rely_v upon_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n do_v allege_v only_o ancient_a

to_o he_o answer_n the_o minister_n answer_n that_o the_o doctor_n prove_v not_o their_o consequence_n and_o that_o they_o leave_v it_o for_o some_o distrust_n they_o have_v as_o be_v likely_a that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prove_v it_o they_o mention_v but_o the_o antecedent_n of_o their_o say_a consequence_n to_o the_o confession_n whereof_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o
