again_o to_o the_o name_n they_o say_v name_n be_v the_o very_a image_n of_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v a_o unanimous_a agreement_n as_o in_o the_o name_n so_o in_o the_o thing_n what_o reason_n be_v

no_o purpose_n except_o the_o name_n do_v true_o set_v forth_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o the_o question_n we_o answer_v that_o we_o do_v not_o at_o all_o groan_n under_o such_o a_o

book_n i_o have_v already_o disprove_v chap._n iii_o to_o the_o original_a in_o this_o chapter_n they_o begin_v with_o a_o syllogism_n and_o fall_v to_o their_o idle_a extravagancy_n afterward_o quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o course_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n that_o who_o original_a and_o rise_n be_v naught_o must_v needs_o be_v naught_o in_o itself_o but_o such_o be_v our_o service_n book_n therefore_o it_o be_v naught_o the_o proposition_n they_o seem_v to_o prove_v by_o say_v thus_o can_v there_o come_v clean_a water_n out_o of_o a_o corrupt_a fountain_n the_o assumption_n they_o will_v prove_v by_o prove_v our_o book_n to_o be_v take_v whole_o from_o the_o mass_n book_n and_o other_o popish_a piece_n this_o they_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v in_o this_o chapter_n three_o

piece_n 3._o from_o the_o evidence_n give_v from_o the_o king_n counsel_n of_o england_n most_o of_o his_o chapter_n be_v spend_v in_o those_o three_o last_o proof_n of_o the_o assumption_n the_o

that_o which_o arise_v from_o that_o evil_n be_v evil_a if_o then_o there_o be_v any_o good_a in_o the_o mass_n book_n and_o that_o only_a our_o book_n take_v from_o thence_o whole_o reject_v all_o the_o evil_a it_o can_v follow_v that_o our_o book_n must_v be_v evil_a though_o take_v thence_o any_o more_o than_o a_o pearl_n or_o precious_a stone_n must_v be_v naught_o if_o rake_v out_o of_o a_o

not_o total_o evil_a may_v be_v good_a come_v from_o evil_n as_o the_o precious_a stone_n in_o the_o head_n of_o a_o toad_n be_v not_o venomous_a though_o the_o toad_n be_v but_o for_o their_o instance_n of_o the_o fountain_n it_o be_v very_o unsufficient_a and_o unfit_a in_o this_o case_n because_o though_o the_o fountain_n be_v not_o total_o evil_a yet_o the_o evil_a and_o good_a in_o the_o water_n be_v so_o mix_v that_o one_o can_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o other_o in_o the_o flow_a out_o but_o in_o collect_v good_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o book_n where_o be_v also_o evil_a and_o more_o evil_a than_o good_a the_o case_n be_v very_o different_a and_o the_o work_n easy_a this_o their_o proposition_n then_o be_v thus_o unsound_a what_o proof_n soever_o they_o make_v of_o that_o

first_o these_o three_o remarkable_a thing_n be_v 1._o that_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o some_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v read_v for_o and_o call_v epistle_n 2._o that_o

great_a matter_n be_v this_o to_o be_v set_v out_o under_o those_o word_n of_o profane_a and_o gross_a abuse_n for_o first_o we_o know_v the_o old_a testament_n be_v in_o the_o new_a sometime_o call_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n sometime_o the_o law_n prophet_n and_o psalm_n these_o several_a expression_n show_v that_o the_o word_n prophet_n be_v sometime_o large_o take_v for_o all_o the_o old_a testament_n except_o the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n sometime_o more_o strict_o for_o the_o other_o book_n only_o but_o exclude_v the_o psalm_n why_o then_o also_o may_v not_o the_o word_n epistle_n be_v sometime_o take_v general_o for_o all_o the_o scripture_n except_o the_o four_o gospel_n and_o sometime_o more_o strict_o except_o the_o act_n gospel_n and_o revelation_n and_o sometime_o most_o strict_o for_o those_o book_n which_o we_o common_o call_v the_o canonical_a epistle_n take_n the_o word_n in_o the_o two_o former_a acception_n what_o hurt_v in_o call_v all_o that_o we_o read_v for_o epistle_n by_o the_o name_n of_o epistle_n especial_o consider_v second_o that_o the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v a_o letter_n or_o epistle_n indict_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o send_v from_o god_n by_o the_o holy_a writer_n thereof_o into_o the_o world_n or_o more_o especial_o to_o his_o church_n and_o the_o fitness_n of_o this_o appellation_n they_o themselves_o confess_v and_o tell_v we_o the_o holy_a father_n speak_v so_o only_o they_o tell_v we_o they_o speak_v so_o in_o a_o different_a sense_n from_o we_o which_o difference_n if_o they_o have_v show_v we_o have_v either_o answer_v they_o or_o yield_v to_o they_o to_o their_o second_o accusation_n that_o our_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n be_v but_o scrap_n of_o scripture_n and_o never_o a_o full_a passage_n in_o they_o if_o by_o full_a passage_n they_o mean_v a_o whole_a chapter_n we_o desire_v to_o know_v why_o a_o whole_a chapter_n must_v always_o be_v at_o once_o and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o but_o if_o by_o never_o a_o full_a passage_n they_o mean_v that_o we_o break_v off_o abrupt_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n read_v than_o any_o one_o may_v see_v they_o do_v we_o notorious_a wrong_n and_o the_o book_n answer_v for_o itself_o without_o my_o help_n to_o avoid_v therefore_o the_o guilt_n of_o so_o foul_a a_o slander_n i_o be_o willing_a to_o take_v they_o in_o the_o former_a sense_n but_o must_v withal_o tell_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v as_o well_o accuse_v all_o our_o preach_v of_o this_o gross_a abuse_n and_o say_v we_o preach_v not_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o upon_o scrap_n and_o shred_n of_o it_o and_o that_o less_o shred_n too_o then_o the_o other_o few_o text_n be_v half_o the_o length_n of_o the_o very_o short_a epistle_n we_o have_v but_o why_o either_o our_o text_n or_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n shall_v be_v thus_o tax_v i_o see_v not_o the_o division_n of_o chapter_n not_o be_v canonical_a but_o make_v according_a to_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o discretion_n of_o this_o therefore_o no_o more_o i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o charge_n which_o be_v concern_v silence_n sit_v bow_v etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o must_v first_o tell_v they_o that_o this_o come_v in_o very_o unreasonable_o in_o this_o place_n this_o belong_v rather_o to_o the_o ridiculous_a manner_n of_o our_o service_n then_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o but_o their_o want_n of_o method_n i_o must_v needs_o pass_v over_o many_o time_n lest_o my_o book_n shall_v grow_v too_o big_a second_o i_o must_v tell_v they_o again_o that_o the_o book_n appoint_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n they_o here_o inveigh_v against_o therefore_o if_o those_o thing_n be_v as_o bad_a indeed_o as_o they_o will_v make_v they_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o purpose_n against_o the_o book_n which_o they_o pretend_v only_o to_o write_v against_o nevertheless_o be_v in_o many_o passage_n they_o labour_v to_o disgrace_v our_o church_n what_o they_o can_v as_o well_o as_o the_o book_n they_o write_v against_o i_o will_v if_o they_o will_v come_v to_o particular_n assay_v to_o answer_v all_o and_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v by_o these_o general_a word_n guess_v at_o their_o meaning_n i_o will_v brief_o answer_v they_o it_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n long_o ago_o in_o many_o church_n to_o stand_v up_o at_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v also_o usual_a at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o say_v glory_n be_v to_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o after_o the_o end_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o say_v thanks_o be_v unto_o god_n these_o i_o presume_v be_v the_o thing_n they_o aim_v at_o for_o the_o bow_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v and_o be_v as_o much_o use_v in_o all_o part_n of_o service_n and_o sermon_n as_o of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o other_o three_o therefore_o as_o proper_a to_o the_o gospel_n i_o will_v only_o speak_v and_o first_o to_o the_o stand_v up_o we_o know_v many_o man_n at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o text_n and_o many_o time_n in_o the_o sermon_n will_v stand_v up_o not_o only_o for_o their_o ease_n but_o to_o hearken_v the_o more_o attentive_o why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o as_o lawful_a so_o to_o do_v at_o the_o
