of_o costerus_n to_o have_v its_o full_a force_n yet_o if_o he_o hold_v fornication_n a_o mortal_a damnable_a sin_n as_o certain_o he_o do_v neither_o priest_n nor_o the_o vindicator_n will_v be_v

continent_o as_o he_o say_v he_o do_v whilst_o a_o monk_n and_o nothing_o appear_v to_o show_v he_o can_v not_o what_o can_v be_v allege_v in_o defence_n of_o his_o double_o wicked_a sacrilegious_a marriage_n 4._o to_o the_o objection_n of_o luther_n reject_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o present_a church_n and_o the_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n the_o vindicator_n know_v not_o what_o to_o answer_v however_o to_o blind_v the_o matter_n something_o must_v be_v say_v and_o therefore_o the_o church_n which_o luther_n contemn_v must_v be_v the_o court_n of_o rome_n but_o then_o to_o the_o question_n which_o himself_o put_v concern_v the_o visibility_n of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o age_n even_o according_a to_o luther_n note_n of_o it_o viz._n the_o true_a and_o sincere_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n he_o give_v you_o no_o other_o answer_n than_o what_o may_v be_v expect_v from_o a_o ordinary_a quaker_n that_o in_o all_o that_o dark_a midnight_n of_o popery_n midday_n be_v darkness_n to_o some_o sort_n of_o creature_n which_o fill_v the_o earth_n for_o so_o many_o age_n there_o be_v still_o some_o gleam_n of_o light_n some_o witness_n that_o arise_v to_o give_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n to_o protest_v against_o innovation_n but_o whether_o those_o gleam_n those_o witness_n be_v lutheran_n or_o calvinist_n or_o zwinglians_n or_o cranmerians_n or_o parkerians_n he_o know_v not_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o have_v be_v a_o invisible_a people_n and_o like_o the_o spanish_a black-bill_n in_o oates_n plot_n to_o have_v live_v under_o ground_n or_o at_o least_o the_o say_n there_o be_v such_o people_n may_v serve_v or_o a_o time_n to_o beguile_v the_o unwary_a and_o to_o keep_v on_o foot_n and_o carry_v on_o the_o holy_a cheat._n but_o instead_o of_o a_o proof_n that_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n he_o refer_v we_o to_o a_o testy_a say_n of_o scaliger_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o truth_n in_o it_o but_o the_o vindicator_n seem_v much_o offend_v that_o luther_n shall_v be_v charge_v with_o deny_v the_o validity_n of_o the_o former_a clergy_n ordination_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o reflect_v that_o luther_n argue_v no_o true_a consecration_n of_o the_o eucharist_n from_o the_o defect_n of_o ordination_n as_o be_v convince_v of_o it_o by_o the_o devil_n argument_n and_o as_o for_o the_o flourish_n he_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v his_o own_o not_o luther_n nor_o do_v luther_n proceed_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n prove_v that_o he_o own_a his_o mission_n from_o the_o precede_a church_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o look_v upon_o himself_o to_o have_v have_v a_o extraordinary_a mission_n or_o otherwise_o what_o authority_n can_v he_o pretend_v and_o certain_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n will_v do_v nothing_o without_o just_a authority_n to_o ordain_v and_o commission_n other_o of_o which_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n to_o luther_n calling_n the_o pope_n antichrist_n bishop_n his_o apostle_n and_o university_n his_o lupunaria_n the_o vindicator_n seem_v to_o subscribe_v and_o applaud_v he_o in_o it_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o will_v contribute_v his_o faggot_n towards_o the_o burn_a of_o he_o in_o effigy_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o error_n explode_v by_o learned_a protestant_n hammond_n thorndyke_n grotius_n and_o other_o and_o have_v be_v preach_v against_o in_o this_o university_n by_o much_o learnede_a man_n than_o the_o vindicator_n here_o i_o must_v beg_v leave_n to_o digress_v with_o the_o vindicator_n to_o two_o gross_a mistake_n of_o he_o p._n 27._o whereby_o he_o think_v he_o have_v give_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n a_o terrible_a blow_n the_o first_o be_v that_o to_o give_v a_o inferior_a sort_n of_o cult_a or_o respect_n to_o the_o element_n be_v to_o worship_v they_o with_o divine_a worship_n which_o be_v false_a ex_fw-la terminis_fw-la unless_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o inferior_a worship_n be_v the_o supreme_a the_o second_o mistake_n be_v that_o for_o a_o priest_n to_o operate_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o church-of_a england_n minister_n pretend_v to_o do_v after_o their_o fashion_n be_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o to_o make_v god._n so_o then_o to_o operate_v the_o presence_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v to_o make_v the_o thing_n to_o operate_v e._n g._n in_o baptism_n the_o presence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o also_o to_o occasion_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o vindicator_n of_o luther_n in_o the_o divinity_n or_o logic_n school_n will_v make_v he_o a_o vindicator_n of_o luther_n which_o be_v utter_o impossible_a 5._o to_o luther_n reject_v council_n the_o vindicator_n write_v pro_fw-la and_o con_v 1._o that_o he_o do_v so_o when_o in_o his_o private_a judgement_n they_o go_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n and_o so_o say_v he_o do_v all_o the_o reform_a he_o may_v have_v add_v and_o all_o heretic_n in_o the_o world_n all_o of_o they_o prefer_v their_o private_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n to_o that_o of_o the_o church_n but_o second_o luther_n do_v not_o so_o because_o he_o never_o refuse_v if_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o defender_n to_o be_v conclude_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o council_n legal_o summon_v the_o noise_n of_o his_o adversary_n say_v the_o vindicator_n who_o be_v perpetual_o cry_v council_n and_o canon_n when_o they_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o say_v for_o their_o cause_n and_o be_v not_o that_o enough_o may_v perhaps_o force_v out_o a_o expression_n or_o two_o from_o he_o etc._n etc._n he_o have_v fire_n in_o his_o temper_n and_o a_o german_a bluntness_n and_o upon_o these_o provocation_n may_v possible_o strain_v a_o phrase_n with_o too_o great_a freedom_n and_o what_o be_v the_o innocent_a freedom_n this_o reformer_n take_v it_o be_v only_o to_o asperse_v the_o most_o sacred_a and_o famous_a council_n that_o ever_o be_v the_o apostolical_a at_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o first_o nicene_n submit_v to_o by_o protestant_n themselves_o argue_v from_o the_o injunction_n of_o the_o first_o to_o abstain_v from_o blood_n and_o thing_n strangle_v which_o be_v only_o temporary_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a not_o to_o obey_v the_o decree_n of_o council_n and_o say_v of_o the_o second_o that_o its_o canon_n be_v hay_n straw_n wood_n stubble_n and_o particular_o concern_v the_o three_o canon_n of_o that_o council_n prohibit_v the_o clergy_n to_o have_v with_o they_o in_o their_o house_n any_o woman_n unless_o their_o mother_n sister_n grandmother_n or_o aunt_n that_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v tbe_n holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o council_n what_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o bind_v and_o burden_v its_o minister_n with_o impossible_a dangerous_a and_o unnecessary_a law_n and_o last_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n receive_v more_o light_a from_o the_o child_n catechism_n than_o all_o the_o council_n this_o one_o text_n beware_v of_o false_a prophet_n mat._n 17._o 15._o say_v swagger_a luther_n may_v suffice_v against_o the_o authority_n of_o all_o the_o pope_n father_n council_n and_o schoolman_n who_o attribute_n to_o bishop_n and_o minister_n the_o sole_a power_n of_o judge_v and_o decide_v controversy_n in_o the_o very_a council_n of_o nice_a the_o best_a that_o ever_o be_v before_o or_o since_o even_o than_o begin_v they_o to_o make_v law_n and_o claim_v that_o power_n wherefore_o since_o such_o a_o error_n and_o so_o great_a sacrilege_n have_v be_v able_a to_o prevail_v so_o long_o i_o will_v and_o command_v once_o for_o all_o that_o those_o sophister_n hold_v their_o prate_v etc._n etc._n and_o be_v all_o this_o in_o a_o reformer_n nothing_o else_o but_o strain_v a_o phrase_n and_o so_o great_a a_o wickedness_n in_o he_o no_o sin_n 6._o the_o arraignment_n of_o luther_n for_o speak_v contemptuous_o of_o the_o father_n the_o vindicator_n say_v be_v a_o rank_a calumny_n but_o be_v at_o a_o calumny_n to_o say_v he_o speak_v contemptuous_o of_o the_o father_n who_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o assert_v in_o the_o write_n of_o every_o one_o of_o the_o father_n how_o great_a
