as_o none_o can_v deny_v it_o but_o such_o as_o be_v wilful_o blind_v and_o strive_v against_o the_o light_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n but_o what_o say_v he_o of_o these_o scripture_n here_o

pass_v let_v we_o consider_v the_o answer_n itself_o how_o worthy_a and_o clerk_n like_o it_o be_v these_o scripture_n he_o say_v forbid_v join_v to_o such_o idolatry_n as_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o

and_o that_o false_a worship_n which_o break_v the_o second_o commandment_n 2_o secondlie_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o as_o we_o judge_v of_o their_o way_n and_o estate_n so_o it_o be_v a_o transgression_n against_o the_o second_o commandment_n now_o samuel_n say_v rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o transgression_n be_v wickedness_n &_o idolatry_n 19_o 1_o sam._n

do_v sometime_o join_v and_o communicate_v this_o therefore_o he_o say_v make_v for_o they_o and_o against_o we_o most_o notable_o 1_o but_o first_o let_v he_o tell_v we_o if_o many_o 11.19_o many_o

but_o against_o they_o altogether_o otherwise_o he_o condemn_v at_o once_o all_o the_o martyr_n heretofore_o who_o usual_o allege_v this_o 15.9_o this_o mat._n 15.9_o very_a scripture_n against_o the_o false_a worship_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n as_o himself_o can_v he_o ignorant_a yet_o in_o his_o learning_n it_o seem_v the_o papist_n might_n well_o have_v answer_v the_o martyr_n again_o that_o this_o scripture_n be_v verify_v of_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o therefore_o make_v for_o they_o and_o against_o the_o martyr_n most_o notable_o 2_o second_o when_o he_o say_v this_o scripture_n be_v verify_v of_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n with_o who_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n communicate_v let_v he_o also_o tell_v we_o

with_o they_o in_o those_o their_o invention_n if_o they_o do_v not_o as_o it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n than_o what_o do_v this_o help_n those_o man_n who_o all_o of_o they_o join_v and_o communicate_v with_o the_o false_a worship_n of_o these_o assembly_n 3_o three_o we_o answer_v that_o his_o note_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o note_n be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n for_o first_o who_o know_v not_o that_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n the_o doctrine_n public_o profess_v &_o practise_v by_o their_o law_n do_v not_o appoinct_v or_o
