day_n and_o their_o popish_a lentâ—â—_n fast_o they_o have_v make_v it_o a_o paint_a garment_n and_o very_o proditorious_a and_o so_o by_o little_a and_o little_o they_o have_v make_v up_o this_o monster_n of_o many_o cotoâ—â—_n so_o come_v in_o idolatry_n at_o the_o first_o into_o the_o church_n first_o the_o image_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v oâ—_n a_o good_a intent_n bring_v into_o the_o temple_n and_o afterward_o superstition_n creep_v in_o like_o a_o ringworm_n and_o man_n fall_v to_o worship_v they_o as_o in_o time_n the_o israelite_n worship_v the_o brazen_a serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n then_o the_o suppose_a picture_n of_o christ_n be_v worship_v where_o of_o there_o grow_v to_o be_v very_o many_o and_o never_o any_o one_o like_o another_o but_o even_o as_o it_o please_v master_n painter_n and_o then_o the_o cross_n by_o the_o high_a way_n side_n and_o then_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o when_o the_o painter_n have_v make_v a_o picture_n like_o some_o foul_a mawkine_n or_o some_o foolish_a gameplayer_n in_o disguise_a colour_n and_o set_v it_o up_o in_o a_o glass_n window_n or_o some_o stone_n wall_n and_o a_o toy_n take_v ignorant_a man_n in_o the_o head_n for_o strong_a be_v imagination_n that_o must_v be_v our_o lady_n forsooth_o and_o so_o to_o be_v worship_v then_o further_o when_o man_n begin_v to_o neglect_v the_o most_o sacred_a scripture_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o only_a pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o truth_n they_o begin_v to_o build_v upon_o counsel_n and_o father_n and_o doctor_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o church_n without_o any_o trial_n of_o the_o same_o to_o be_v make_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o at_o last_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v have_v sit_v as_o judge_n be_v bring_v down_o and_o set_v at_o the_o bar_n to_o be_v judge_v by_o man_n yea_o by_o his_o enemy_n too_o and_o by_o little_a and_o little_a it_o come_v to_o this_o paste_n that_o the_o church_n can_v not_o err_v in_o any_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n must_v be_v that_o only_o privilege_a church_n which_o can_v not_o err_v and_o then_o they_o thrust_v upon_o we_o what_o they_o list_v as_o the_o philistines_n make_v samson_n do_v what_o they_o will_v when_o they_o have_v put_v out_o his_o eye_n but_o this_o be_v do_v by_o degree_n for_o first_o the_o bishop_n and_o teacher_n wax_v rich_a and_o wealthy_a then_o they_o grow_v to_o be_v proud_a and_o lordly_a then_o covetous_a and_o greedy_a than_o idle_a and_o lazy_a and_o then_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a as_o also_o subtle_a and_o crafty_a to_o cover_v all_o withal_o and_o when_o the_o star_n thus_o begin_v to_o fall_v from_o heaven_n that_o be_v from_o the_o heavenly_a doctrine_n and_o from_o heavenly_a conversation_n to_o become_v so_o carnal_a and_o earthly_a mind_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n also_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o that_o true_a light_n begin_v to_o be_v darken_v and_o his_o gospel_n to_o be_v deprave_a &_o then_o the_o moon_n that_o be_v his_o church_n must_v needs_o lose_v her_o light_n for_o she_o have_v no_o light_n but_o from_o the_o sun_n and_o then_o as_o the_o prophet_n joel_n speak_v 31._o be_v the_o church_n also_o turn_v into_o blood_n for_o upon_o these_o thing_n grow_v most_o horrible_a persecution_n in_o the_o church_n through_o the_o malice_n &_o cruelty_n of_o the_o prelate_n so_o that_o she_o fail_v both_o in_o light_n and_o life_n together_o and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o may_v fall_v out_o again_o for_o as_o by_o little_a &_o little_o the_o candle_n go_v out_o so_o by_o little_a &_o little_a darkness_n come_v in_o and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n come_v in_o such_o monstrous_a abuse_n in_o apparel_n both_o in_o man_n and_o woman_n such_o excess_n and_o riot_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v such_o idleness_n and_o profaneness_n as_o be_v every_o where_o to_o be_v see_v &_o so_o grow_v tumult_n and_o rebellion_n in_o the_o common_a people_n so_o grow_v stubbornness_n in_o servant_n and_o disobedience_n in_o child_n through_o sufferance_n and_o too_o much_o foolish_a cocker_a till_o by_o little_a and_o little_a many_o of_o they_o come_v to_o shame_n and_o confusion_n and_o thus_o have_v all_o ill_a custom_n grow_v up_o from_o time_n to_o time_n both_o in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o commonwealth_n &_o all_o by_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v by_o little_a and_o by_o little_a yea_o and_o that_o so_o soft_o and_o sly_o he_o creepethinto_o man_n that_o they_o can_v hardly_o either_o see_v he_o or_o feel_v he_o when_o he_o come_v as_o we_o see_v the_o weed_n grow_v up_o among_o the_o corn_n while_o man_n sleep_v but_o so_o soft_o that_o no_o man_n can_v perceive_v how_o they_o grow_v or_o how_o much_o they_o grow_v at_o once_o but_o that_o they_o do_v grow_v and_o in_o time_n if_o they_o be_v not_o pluck_v up_o overgrow_v the_o corn_n every_o man_n may_v see_v that_o or_o as_o the_o juie_n by_o little_a and_o little_o creep_v upon_o the_o oak_n till_o at_o last_o he_o do_v overgrowe_n and_o destroy_v the_o oak_n so_o do_v sin_n by_o little_a and_o little_o get_v up_o and_o get_v the_o strong_a and_o the_o mighty_a man_n sometime_o under_o he_o as_o it_o do_v solomon_n and_o david_n and_o peter_n and_o diverse_a other_o for_o all_o their_o

and_o our_o friend_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o make_v resistance_n at_o the_o very_a first_o entry_n and_o continual_o to_o withstand_v the_o beginning_n and_o first_o motion_n of_o satan_n unto_o any_o sin_n lest_o by_o little_a and_o little_a now_o a_o stone_n and_o then_o a_o stone_n now_o a_o basket_n full_a and_o then_o a_o basketfull_a he_o cast_v up_o his_o mount_n and_o fortify_v
