VVritten by T.F. With an apology, or defence, of his innocency in a fayned conspiracy against her Maiesties person, for the which one Edward Squyre was wrongfully condemned and executed in Nouember ... 1598. wherewith the author and other Catholykes were also falsly charged. Written by him the yeare folowing, and not published vntil now, for the reasons declared in the preface of this treatyse.

the_o old_a law_n it_o follow_v that_o some_o sacrifice_n be_v now_o as_o needful_a as_o then_o it_o be_v where_o upon_o primasius_n s._n augustin_n scholar_n expound_v this_o same_o epistle_n of_o

that_o redemptory_a &_o absolute_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v but_o once_o whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o objection_n of_o our_o adversary_n out_o of_o s._n paul_n as_o well_o concern_v the_o multiplicity_n and_o succession_n of_o our_o priest_n as_o the_o multitude_n and_o iteration_n of_o mass_n be_v most_o absurd_a and_o frivolous_a for_o though_o we_o shall_v grant_v

mass_n as_o be_v in_o the_o old_a law_n yet_o s._n paul_n argument_n will_v prove_v no_o more_o against_o we_o than_o it_o do_v against_o the_o jew_n i_o mean_v it_o will_v not_o follow_v thereon_o than_o the_o mass_n be_v no_o sacrifice_n no_o more_o than_o it_o follow_v of_o the_o same_o argument_n that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o true_a sacrifice_n which_o s._n paul_n
