for_o since_o the_o scripture_n only_o be_v able_a to_o make_v they_o wise_a to_o salvation_n the_o psalmist_n also_o plain_o say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n make_v wise_a the_o simple_a psa_n 19.7_o &_o 119.130_o papist_n the_o scripture_n with_o tradition_n and_o the_o church_n exposition_n of_o they_o be_v necessary_a for_o how_o can_v you_o know_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o

author_n 1._o i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o consider_v what_o intricate_a meander_n you_o will_v have_v they_o walk_v in_o who_o you_o deny_v to_o have_v understanding_n enough_o to_o go_v in_o the_o

how_o shall_v one_o know_v whether_o that_o church_n be_v the_o true_a church_n if_o you_o say_v by_o such_o note_n universality_n succession_n etc._n etc._n then_o what_o a_o endless_a work_n do_v you_o put_v these_o man_n who_o you_o call_v simple_a people_n upon_o viz._n read_v over_o all_o ecclesiastical_a history_n of_o the_o father_n to_o see_v whether_o that_o succession_n you_o pretend_v

report_v that_o it_o be_v a_o constant_a tradition_n in_o his_o time_n lib._n 1._o stro._n clemens_n i_o say_v who_o live_v about_o 14._o hundred_o year_n ago_o report_n that_o it_o be_v a_o

that_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o saint_n john_n that_o christ_n be_v very_o near_o 50._o year_n old_a when_o he_o die_v nay_o there_o be_v a_o tradition_n that_o be_v as_o old_a as_o the_o time_n betwixt_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n and_o ascension_n it_o be_v general_o report_v by_o godly_a precious_a saint_n and_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o pretend_v that_o john_n shall_v not_o die_v and_o the_o mistake_n arise_v by_o the_o leave_v out_o or_o misinterpret_v but_o of_o one_o syllable_n our_o saviour_n say_v if_o i_o will_v and_o the_o report_n go_v i_o will_v that_o thou_o come_v abundance_n of_o other_o instance_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v almost_o in_o every_o one_o of_o the_o father_n that_o live_v near_o christ_n time_n 3._o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o disagreement_n on_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o father_n for_o that_o which_o one_o father_n account_v apostolical_a another_o account_n heretical_a 4._o this_o be_v no_o new_a practice_n for_o it_o be_v in_o all_o age_n the_o custom_n of_o false_a prophet_n and_o heretic_n to_o plead_v tradition_n nay_o by_o their_o tradition_n to_o make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_n as_o mat._n 13._o and_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v so_o heretic_n make_v use_v of_o scripture_n but_o as_o for_o scripture_n we_o be_v on_o all_o side_n agree_v that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a rule_n and_o nothing_o aught_o to_o be_v teach_v contrary_a to_o it_o and_o we_o have_v the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n for_o prove_v doctrine_n by_o scripture_n 5._o you_o papist_n do_v not_o give_v we_o a_o catalogue_n of_o tradition_n and_o indeed_o those_o that_o you_o call_v apostolical_a tradition_n wherein_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o it_o be_v a_o very_a easy_a thing_n to_o prove_v you_o the_o very_a year_n or_o at_o least_o the_o century_n when_o they_o first_o spring_v up_o but_o you_o use_v to_o amuse_v and_o silence_n poor_a simple_a people_n by_o put_v upon_o your_o error_n the_o glorious_a title_n of_o apostolical_a tradition_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n which_o you_o know_v they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o contradict_v in_o say_v of_o our_o religion_n that_o it_o begin_v in_o luther_n in_o k._n henry_n the_o 8._o day_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v moses_n his_o law_n be_v no_o ancient_a than_o in_o josias_n time_n because_o it_o have_v lie_v hide_v many_o year_n before_o and_o be_v then_o new_o revive_v 6._o the_o wickedness_n of_o your_o forgery_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o though_o you_o pretend_v the_o current_n of_o antiquity_n for_o the_o innovation_n yet_o you_o be_v conscious_a to_o yourselves_o of_o the_o falseness_n of_o this_o pretence_n have_v appoint_v a_o index_n expurgatorius_fw-la and_o in_o your_o new_a edition_n of_o the_o father_n have_v leave_v out_o all_o thing_n that_o make_v against_o you_o and_o then_o no_o marvel_n that_o antiquity_n seem_v to_o be_v folly_n when_o you_o make_v it_o speak_v what_o you_o please_v and_o hinder_v it_o from_o speak_v whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a unto_o you_o papist_n but_o though_o you_o speak_v so_o much_o against_o tradition_n be_v it_o not_o evident_a that_o you_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o tradition_n for_o as_o you_o can_v know_v but_o by_o tradition_n that_o one_o who_o name_n be_v seneca_n write_v those_o book_n that_o go_v under_o his_o name_n so_o you_o can_v know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v not_o you_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o church_n author_n as_o a_o carrier_n that_o bring_v a_o leteer_n from_o a_o friend_n it_o be_v not_o his_o say_n that_o it_o come_v from_o such_o a_o friend_n that_o be_v my_o main_a argument_n to_o make_v i_o believe_v it_o but_o i_o know_v his_o hand_n and_o know_v the_o matter_n that_o he_o write_v to_o be_v such_o that_o none_o can_v write_v of_o but_o he_o because_o none_o else_o in_o the_o world_n know_v that_o business_n but_o only_o he_o

the_o business_n he_o write_v of_o by_o which_o i_o shall_v discover_v that_o the_o letter_n come_v not_o from_o my_o friend_n notwithstanding_o his_o name_n be_v subscribe_v so_o for_o the_o scripture_n though_o the_o church_n deliver_v they_o to_o we_o as_o from_o god_n yet_o that_o matter_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n and_o other_o intrinsical_v argument_n viz._n holiness_n consent_n depth_n of_o mystery_n and_o discover_v all_o the_o secret_a corruption_n of_o one_o heart_n etc._n etc._n i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o these_o argument_n discover_v the_o
