a_o foundation_n of_o truth_n so_o have_v the_o papist_n the_o bible_n but_o they_o have_v all_o add_v so_o much_o that_o the_o first_o truth_n be_v almost_o lose_v 33_o doctor_n baily_n hold_v conference_n with_o the_o king_n touch_v the_o pope_n arrogancy_n allude_v to_o christ_n answer_n to_o his_o apostle_n he_o that_o desire_v to_o bear_v rule_n let_v he_o be_v the_o least_o among_o you_o and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n do_v sometime_o colourable_o term_v himself_o servum_fw-la servorum_fw-la etc._n etc._n to_o which_o the_o king_n reply_v that_o by_o such_o argument_n or_o inference_n he_o can_v prove_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v humble_o mind_v to_o which_o the_o doctor_n answer_v that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o so_o account_v himself_o save_v only_o when_o he_o have_v purpose_n to_o delude_v or_o deceive_v otherwise_o he_o esteem_v himself_o dominus_fw-la dominantium_fw-la etc._n etc._n his_o majesty_n determination_n on_o the_o point_n be_v that_o the_o pope_n call_v himself_o servus_n servorum_fw-la etc._n etc._n be_v rather_o in_o a_o more_o strict_a and_o peculiar_a sense_n as_o that_o he_o be_v servus_n petri_n etc._n etc._n sive_fw-la mariae_fw-la

a_o profess_a catholic_n be_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n but_o to_o be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n be_v it_o which_o mar_v the_o matter_n it_o be_v the_o reproof_n of_o the_o donatist_n which_o be_v account_v catholic_n but_o confine_v their_o profession_n into_o one_o corner_n of_o africa_n so_o also_o the_o romanist_n whereas_o the_o true_a catholic_n be_v universal_a 34_o that_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n say_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o a_o camel_n to_o pass_v through_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o needle_n as_o for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n the_o pope_n pervert_v that_o say_n for_o that_o none_o shall_v have_v no_o pardon_n but_o such_o as_o pay_v for_o they_o so_o consequent_o the_o rich_a be_v more_o easy_a to_o enter_v into_o

the_o pope_n to_o be_v just_o call_v a_o merchant_n of_o man_n soul_n as_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o revel_n 18._o etc._n etc._n 35_o that_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o the_o romish_a religion_n

position_n be_v with_o abnegation_n of_o the_o pope_n charity_n and_o admiration_n of_o his_o unparalleled_a cruelty_n that_o be_v grant_v to_o have_v power_n so_o to_o do_v do_v not_o nor_o may_v not_o apply_v his_o will_n unto_o it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o one_o man_n to_o free_a all_o the_o world_n from_o hell_n ought_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o etc._n etc._n 36_o god_n never_o fail_v of_o his_o word_n but_o where_o he_o threaten_v ill_a to_o man_n as_o in_o punish_v niniveh_n but_o always_o perform_v where_o he_o promise_v good_a that_o or_o better_o as_o he_o promise_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n everlasting_a earthly_a blessedness_n and_o instead_o of_o that_o give_v they_o heavenly_a 37_o not_o only_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o jew_n till_o they_o come_v

time_n whole_a country_n distant_a 39_o cowardice_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o cruelty_n it_o be_v only_a fear_n that_o make_v tyrant_n put_v so_o many_o to_o death_n to_o secure_v themselves_o 40_o that_o fashion_n among_o the_o roman_n of_o kill_v themselves_o be_v false_o call_v fortitude_n for_o it_o be_v only_o to_o prevent_v the_o power_n of_o fortune_n when_o indeed_o virtue_n lie_v

against_o death_n 41_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o reclaim_v a_o man_n from_o any_o heresy_n than_o to_o convert_v a_o atheist_n to_o the_o truth_n for_o to_o believe_v be_v the_o first_o degree_n common_a to_o all_o religion_n and_o a_o atheist_n be_v to_o be_v bring_v so_o far_o before_o he_o come_v to_o choose_n 42_o all_o god_n miracle_n be_v above_o nature_n but_o never_o against_o nature_n for_o that_o be_v to_o destroy_v his_o own_o work_n which_o he_o can_v do_v but_o he_o may_v excel_v it_o therefore_o the_o miracle_n of_o the_o papist_n transubstantiation_n be_v against_o nature_n be_v false_a 43_o type_n be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o god_n allow_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o image_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o to_o show_v they_o that_o his_o worship_n be_v to_o be_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n 44_o the_o church_n at_o rome_n fall_v at_o first_o from_o her_o purity_n into_o infirmity_n then_o into_o corruption_n then_o into_o error_n and_o last_o into_o abomination_n god_n still_o punish_v sin_n with_o sin_n 45_o most_n heresy_n have_v proceed_v from_o mingle_v philosophy_n with_o religion_n from_o that_o and_o policy_n have_v all_o the_o papist_n error_n rise_v when_o christ_n tell_v they_o that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n 46_o we_o can_v conceive_v eternity_n but_o by_o faith_n we_o can_v understand_v what_o god_n be_v and_o of_o that_o ignorance_n come_v all_o sin_n for_o sure_o if_o we_o know_v he_o we_o will_v not_o offend_v he_o 47_o man_n as_o often_o fall_v out_o about_o small_a thing_n as_o
