the_o remainder_n of_o the_o paragraph_n i_o deny_v that_o i_o make_v you_o speak_v any_o thing_n which_o you_o never_o mention_v in_o your_o reason_n and_o whensoever_o you_o shall_v produce_v any_o such_o particular_a i_o will_v make_v my_o denial_n good_a your_o second_o general_n be_v this_o we_o argue_v a_o necessity_n of_o reformation_n i._o from_o the_o doubtfulness_n 2._o from_o the_o defect_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n but_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v we_o to_o speak_v in_o a_o sense_n contrary_a to_o our_o meaning_n we_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o doctrine_n themselves_o right_o explain_v but_o of_o the_o word_n wherein_o they_o be_v set_v forth_o for_o the_o word_n which_o shall_v be_v clear_a be_v ambiguous_a be_v capaple_n of_o more_o sense_n than_o one_o and_o so_o may_v be_v and_o be_v wrest_v to_o patronize_v error_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v reform_v by_o such_o a_o orthodox_n explanation_n as_o may_v distinct_o and_o positive_o express_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o leave_v so_o homonymous_a and_o equivocal_a as_o to_o countenance_v those_o error_n which_o we_o believe_v the_o church_n of_o england_n disclaim_v to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o which_o paragraph_n i_o answer_v that_o you_o do_v so_o argue_v i_o confess_v that_o you_o make_v good_a any_o argument_n i_o deny_v and_o that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o speak_v in_o a_o sense_n contrary_a to_o your_o meaning_n i_o also_o deny_v if_o you_o mean_v what_o you_o say_v to_o urge_v a_o necessity_n of_o reformation_n of_o doctrine_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o doubtfulnest_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o say_v we_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o doctrine_n seem_v to_o i_o very_o strange_a no●●o_o doubt_v of_o that_o which_o we_o declare_v doubtful_a or_o to_o declare_v that_o doubtful_a of_o which_o we_o doubt_v nor_o be_v equal_o unreasonable_a as_o for_o your_o way_n of_o salve_v this_o contradidion_n we_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o doctrine_n themselves_o right_o explain_v but_o of_o the_o word_n wherein_o they_o be_v set_v forth_o i_o shall_v earnest_o contend_v and_o evident_o show_v that_o it_o will_v no_o way_n salve_v it_o for_o if_o you_o doubt_v of_o the_o word_n wherein_o the_o dodrine_n be_v set_v forth_o you_o must_v doubt_v what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o word_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o word_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n in_o which_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o when_o you_o say_v you_o doubt_v of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v not_o a_o doubt_n whether_o such_o word_n be_v in_o the_o article_n or_o no_o but_o whether_o the_o word_n have_v this_o or_o that_o sense_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o article_n if_o this_o or_o that_o sense_n make_v no_o variation_n in_o the_o doctrine_n than_o the_o doubt_v of_o the_o sense_n be_v no_o way_n material_a if_o this_o or_o that_o sense_n make_v a_o variation_n in_o the_o doctrine_n than_o a_o doubt_n of_o the_o sense_n must_v be_v a_o doubt_n of_o the_o doctrine_n in_o vain_a therefore_o do_v you_o pretend_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o doctrine_n themselves_o right_o explain_v while_o you_o profess_v to_o doubt_v of_o the_o word_n wherein_o they_o be_v set_v forth_o because_o while_o you_o doubt_v of_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n you_o must_v also_o doubt_v whether_o they_o be_v right_o explain_v for_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o right_a explain_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n either_o therefore_o say_v you_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o word_n or_o else_o say_v you_o doubt_v of_o the_o word_n and_o doubt_v what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n for_o to_o say_v you_o doubt_v of_o the_o one_o and_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o other_o be_v a_o contradiction_n except_o you_o can_v find_v in_o the_o article_n doctrine_n without_o word_n the_o next_o word_n of_o the_o paragraph_n be_v very_o far_o from_o any_o truth_n in_o their_o assertion_n and_o far_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a in_o their_o collection_n for_o the_o first_o you_o say_v the_o word_n be_v very_o ambiguous_a and_o capable_a of_o more_o sense_n than_o one_o and_o i_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o word_n in_o any_o so_o many_o doctrinal_a assertion_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v not_o as_o ambiguous_a and_o capable_a of_o as_o many_o sense_n as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o second_o you_o say_v the_o word_n may_v be_v and_o be_v wrest_v to_o patronize_v error_n and_o i_o say_v so_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o truth_n but_o when_o follow_v with_o your_o earnestness_n of_o reformation_n you_o clear_o discover_v the_o weakness_n of_o your_o argumentation_n in_o these_o word_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v reform_v by_o such_o a_o orthodox_n explanation_n for_o there_o may_v be_v a_o explanation_n of_o that_o and_o that_o explanation_n orthodox_n which_o can_v be_v reform_v i_o hope_v you_o think_v not_o of_o reform_v the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v if_o you_o have_v a_o occasion_n to_o explain_v they_o you_o will_v do_v it_o orthodox_o if_o therefore_o you_o have_v occasion_n to_o give_v a_o orthodox_n explication_n of_o a_o article_n do_v not_o imagine_v that_o you_o have_v necessity_n to_o reform_v it_o the_o possibility_n of_o be_v wrest_v to_o patronize_v error_n touch_v no_o more_o the_o word_n of_o the_o article_n than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o we_o be_v assure_v the_o ignorant_a and_o unstable_a may_v wrest_v and_o we_o be_v not_o assure_v that_o any_o other_o can_v wrest_v the_o word_n of_o the_o article_n but_o such_o as_o can_v wrest_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o for_o the_o last_o word_n of_o this_o paragraph_n touch_v error_n which_o you_o believe_v the_o church_n of_o england_n disclaim_v i_o confess_v i_o know_v not_o how_o well_o to_o answer_v they_o for_o this_o reason_n and_o no_o other_o because_o i_o know_v not_o what_o you_o believe_v neither_o can_v i_o imagine_v that_o you_o will_v believe_v either_o church_n or_o parliament_n when_o you_o deny_v any_o sacrilege_n of_o thing_n not_o require_v by_o god_n by_o express_a command_n or_o give_v by_o his_o special_a warrant_n in_o your_o address_n to_o this_o parliament_n which_o have_v unanimous_o declare_v sacrilege_n in_o the_o take_n away_o the_o utensil_n of_o the_o church_n which_o you_o can_v never_o prove_v be_v

will_v deny_v he_o to_o have_v suffer_v what_o he_o endure_v but_o as_o to_o that_o conceit_n of_o you_o that_o this_o declaration_n have_v so_o much_o power_n with_o the_o printer_n that_o he_o

from_o die_v death_n of_o the_o queen_n do_v ever_o vary_v and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n i_o beseeeh_o you_o therefore_o sir_n acknowledge_v the_o declaration_n to_o be_v the_o king_n as_o
