impudent_a monk_n in_o thy_o presence_n most_o noble_a prince_n this_o thing_n pertain_v nothing_o to_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o be_v do_v in_o deed_n &_o declare_v by_o the_o evangelist_n that_o christ_n our_o saviour_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o that_o the_o infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v &_o that_o baptism_n may_v not_o be_v reiterate_v we_o do_v not_o gether_o of_o any_o bare_a tradition_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o for_o those_o other_o thing_n how_o can_v the_o holy_a scripture_n express_v they_o the_o which_o can_v not_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n must_v first_o be_v overthrow_v as_o may_v be_v prove_v with_o most_o evident_a reason_n but_o this_o much_o at_o this_o present_a for_o we_o do_v not_o undertake_v now_o to_o declare_v every_o particular_a matter_n wherefore_o i_o come_v to_o that_o kind_n of_o tradition_n whereby_o diminish_v tradition_n that_o diminish_v something_o be_v take_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n write_v as_o when_o the_o one_o part_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o say_v man_n and_o when_o unto_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n that_o call_v the_o

that_o tender_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v can_v suffer_v such_o curse_a sacrilege_n for_o assure_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o take_v away_o any_o thing_n from_o that_o doctrine_n write_v then_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o like_a as_o these_o man_n have_v count_v the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o little_a before_o to_o be_v halt_v and_o unperfecte_v and_o to_o want_v somewhat_o so_o now_o in_o other_o thing_n they_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v redoundant_a &_o superfluous_a neither_o of_o the_o which_o two_o thing_n any_o good_a man_n ear_n can_v hear_v without_o great_a offence_n but_o yet_o they_o say_v that_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v altogether_o already_o take_v away_o howbeit_o we_o do_v not_o treat_v now_o of_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n but_o of_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n whereof_o though_o we_o do_v judge_v that_o ceremony_n of_o old_a to_o have_v be_v a_o portion_n yet_o serve_v this_o nothing_o to_o defend_v their_o bold_a sacrilege_n for_o what_o marvel_n be_v it_o though_o the_o law_n which_o be_v make_v to_o shadow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v hope_v for_o to_o come_v at_o the_o time_n appoint_v do_v vade_v and_o vanish_v away_o at_o the_o light_n and_o sight_n of_o the_o same_o but_o if_o these_o man_n bring_v against_o we_o that_o the_o love_n feast_n call_v agape_n &_o that_o apostolical_a decree_n of_o thing_n offer_v to_o idol_n &_o the_o strangele_v be_v take_v away_o by_o come_v consent_n &_o the_o anointinge_v apostolical_a which_o we_o have_v now_o abolish_v i_o do_v answer_n again_o that_o these_o be_v external_a thing_n of_o which_o we_o shall_v dispute_v afterward_o but_o this_o we_o conclude_v for_o certain_a that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n contain_v in_o god_n word_n must_v be_v maintain_v safe_a &_o sound_o not_o only_o in_o the_o whole_a substance_n but_o in_o every_o the_o least_o and_o small_a part_n thereof_o without_o addition_n or_o diminution_n now_o why_o shall_v we_o once_o name_n or_o tradition_n wicked_a tradition_n make_v mention_n of_o that_o third_o

catholic_a tradition_n be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v allow_v place_n that_o they_o be_v far_o deceyve_v which_o think_v that_o the_o catholic_a rite_n be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v receyve_v for_o there_o be_v also_o some_o catholic_a error_n which_o have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n partly_o by_o the_o ignorance_n of_o many_o of_o the_o bishop_n partly_o by_o their_o negligence_n partly_o

that_o they_o be_v most_o foolish_a who_o in_o these_o kind_n of_o thing_n when_o the_o circumstance_n be_v change_v will_v not_o only_o have_v nothing_o change_v but_o also_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v
