many_o become_v antichristes_n alredye_n and_o therefore_o the_o danger_n be_v not_o now_o only_o but_o then_o and_o always_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n unto_o and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o danger_n in_o

may_v understande_v by_o the_o death_n of_o chryste_n whereunto_o they_o all_o consent_v and_o agree_v eusebius_n yea_o but_o you_o must_v understande_v that_o our_o church_n begin_v first_o at_o

what_o antiquity_n be_v their_o you_o grant_n that_o chryst_n be_v the_o begynner_n of_o that_o church_n be_v here_o a_o live_a man_n on_o earth_n and_o then_o how_o can_v they_o allege_v for_o

remedy_n eusebius_n you_o play_v the_o sophister_n with_o i_o now_o brother_n theophilus_n t._n nay_o true_o the_o reason_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o every_o ploweman_n may_v well_o understande_v the_o same_o e._n well_o yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o that_o antiquity_n which_o we_o have_v this_o make_v no_o discord_n among_o we_o for_o we_o have_v antiquity_n by_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v continue_v so_o long_o in_o that_o doctrine_n and_o ordinance_n which_o they_o deliver_v unto_o we_o &_o now_o therefore_o be_v that_o same_o waxen_a old_a by_o time_n which_o then_o be_v new_o

disputer_n as_o the_o most_o part_n of_o your_o opinion_n be_v subtle_a disputer_n and_o have_v good_a head_n full_a of_o invention_n and_o doutelesse_a many_o of_o they_o have_v much_o learning_n i_o moughte_v say_v to_o much_o well_o enough_o theophilus_n that_o be_v the_o common_a say_n of_o your_o catholyke_n now_o and_o yet_o i_o remember_v within_o these_o few_o year_n when_o they_o will_v cry_v out_o and_o say_v they_o have_v no_o learning_n at_o all_o but_o only_o have_v read_v a_o english_a book_n a_o to_o penny_n book_n as_o for_o learning_n they_o have_v none_o and_o now_o again_o they_o say_v they_o deceive_v all_o the_o world_n by_o to_o much_o learning_n this_o they_o say_v they_o care_v not_o what_o so_o they_o be_v talk_v but_o now_o whereas_o you_o think_v my_o objection_n to_o be_v but_o a_o cavillation_n you_o must_v understande_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o deceive_v man_n in_o the_o pryncypall_a point_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o to_o reach_v we_o to_o know_v the_o church_n by_o a_o false_a mean_a as_o they_o say_v by_o antiquity_n whereas_o you_o know_v the_o best_a church_n have_v it_o not_o but_o then_o whereas_o you_o urge_v antiquity_n now_o for_o that_o you_o have_v of_o long_a time_n continue_v in_o the_o doctrine_n and_o obseruaunce_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o deny_v that_o and_o put_v you_o to_o your_o prove_n

the_o scripture_n do_v teach_v the_o same_o theophilus_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o in_o what_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v you_o find_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o knee_n down_o to_o
