because_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 2._o they_o be_v many_o of_o they_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 3._o no_o church_n in_o the_o world_n have_v

these_o follow_v i._o that_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o veneration_n we_o owe_v to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n ii_o that_o there_o

true_a propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a v._o that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n vi_o that_o layman_n need_v not_o receive_v only_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n in_o both_o kind_n and_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o to_o communicate_v in_o one_o vii_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n or_o a_o place_n after_o death_n where_o good_a man_n soul_n be_v torment_v for_o small_a sin_n and_o relieve_v by_o

tradition_n be_v receive_v with_o the_o same_o faith_n that_o be_v due_a to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n answ._n 1._o because_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o that_o do_v not_o direct_v we_o to_o tradition_n but_o rather_o warn_v we_o against_o they_o 2._o because_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n many_o of_o they_o be_v false_a and_o many_o uncertain_a 3._o their_o tradition_n be_v not_o tradition_n which_o have_v be_v receive_v in_o all_o age_n by_o all_o church_n and_o in_o all_o place_n for_o such_o only_o be_v the_o true_a apostolical_a tradition_n 4._o that_o they_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a their_o own_o practice_n show_v in_o that_o they_o reject_v authentic_a tradition_n and_o particular_o that_o of_o communicate_v infant_n and_o here_o you_o may_v note_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o fly_v to_o tradition_n be_v because_o they_o can_v prove_v their_o new_a doctrine_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n quest._n 6._o why_o do_v not_o you_o believe_v seven_o sacrament_n answ._n 1._o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o scripture_n have_v no_o where_o declare_v such_o a_o number_n 2._o this_o precise_a number_n of_o seven_o sacrament_n be_v not_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n till_o twelve_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ._n 3._o there_o be_v but_o two_o

serve_v some_o worldly_a ends._n quest._n 8._o why_o do_v not_o you_o admit_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n answ._n 1._o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o do_v sacrifice_n christ_n every_o day_n in_o the_o mass_n which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o 9th_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n heb._n 9_o 25_o 26_o 27_o 28._o 2._o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a and_o proper_a sacrifice_n without_o death_n and_o it_o find_v dreadful_a to_o a_o christian_a ear_n that_o the_o priest_n kill_v christ_n every_o day_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o put_v his_o god_n to_o death_n 3._o it_o destroy_v the_o end_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v to_o testify_v our_o subjection_n to_o god_n but_o in_o this_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n the_o offerer_n who_o be_v the_o priest_n must_v be_v great_a than_o the_o offer_n 4._o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v only_o a_o commemoration_n or_o representation_n of_o christ_n sacrifice_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n but_o no_o proper_a or_o true_a propitiatory_a sacrifice_n quest._n 9_o why_o do_v not_o you_o believe_v a_o transubstantiation_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answ._n 1._o it_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n for_o we_o may_v see_v and_o feel_v and_o hear_v and_o taste_v and_o smell_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o consecration_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n still_o 2._o it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o thousand_o place_n at_o once_o 3._o it_o be_v against_o scripture_n for_o christ_n protest_v that_o his_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o joh._n 6._o 63._o 4._o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n which_o be_v a_o outward_a visible_a sign_n of_o something_o spiritual_a and_o transubstantiation_n destroy_v the_o sign_n 5._o christ_n himself_o explain_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n when_o he_o add_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o which_o remembrance_n suppose_v the_o absence_n of_o his_o natural_a body_n 6._o it_o be_v against_o that_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o continue_v in_o heaven_n till_o the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n we_o shall_v take_v the_o word_n literal_o any_o more_o than_o the_o word_n in_o jo._n 10._o 7._o i_o be_o the_o door_n etc._n etc._n 7._o this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v a_o phrase_n or_o form_n of_o speech_n exact_o like_o that_o of_o the_o lamb_n in_o the_o passover_n this_o lamb_n be_v the_o passeover_n i._n e._n the_o memorial_n of_o it_o 8._o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n do_v not_o natural_o infer_v a_o substantial_a change_n by_o the_o confession_n of_o some_o papist_n themselves_o 9_o they_o themselves_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o this_o change_n because_o they_o say_v it_o depend_v upon_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o priest_n 10._o the_o absurdity_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v innumerable_a for_o then_o christ_n must_v have_v eat_v himself_o the_o disciple_n must_v have_v eat_v up_o their_o master_n christ_n body_n may_v be_v lock_v up_o in_o a_o box_n for_o half_a a_o year_n together_o and_o long_o etc._n etc._n whereas_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o the_o bread_n represent_v christ_n body_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n be_v his_o body_n have_v no_o inconveniency_n in_o it_o 11._o transubstantiation_n be_v against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n which_o call_v the_o bread_n the_o figure_n of_o christ_n body_n quest._n 10._o why_o do_v not_o you_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o layman_n to_o receive_v the_o communion_n in_o one_o kind_n only_o answ._n 1._o because_o christ_n say_v express_o to_o the_o disciple_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o 2._o the_o practice_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n together_o

people_n these_o must_v certain_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o can_v now_o pass_v with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o in_o the_o ancient_n catholic_n creed_n i_o hope_v you_o be_v convince_v for_o you_o have_v read_v they_o over_o and_o find_v none_o of_o all_o these_o addition_n in_o they_o and_o now_o i_o beg_v of_o you_o in_o the_o name_n and_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o that_o jesus_n in_o who_o you_o believe_v to_o judge_v which_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v the_o true_o catholic_n church_n we_o or_o

there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o contrary_a to_o it_o than_o their_o deny_v the_o cup_n to_o the_o laity_n and_o when_o you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n but_o in_o one_o kind_n contrary_a to_o

act_v thus_o against_o your_o reason_n and_o conscience_n be_v you_o not_o afraid_a when_o you_o be_v go_v to_o confess_v that_o god_n will_v laugh_v at_o your_o mock_n confession_n since_o you_o neither_o confess_v that_o sin_n of_o live_v contrary_a to_o christ_n command_n about_o the_o cup_n nor_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o tell_v i_o not_o here_o that_o you_o drink_v the_o
