verity_n of_o the_o christian_n doctrine_n as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o must_v be_v even_a heresy_n among_o we_o that_o they_o which_o be_v perfect_a among_o we_o may_v be_v know_v do_v by_o that_o mean_v we_o will_v not_o here_o deny_v but_o that_o always_o there_o have_v be_v some_o small_a contention_n in_o the_o doctrine_n as_o it_o appear_v that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n assemble_v together_o c_o to_o conclude_v the_o scripture_n do_v declare_v the_o difference_n which_o be_v offer_v between_o peter_n and_o paul_n apostle_n and_o the_o christian_a history_n do_v make_v mention_n of_o some_o little_a controversy_n concern_v the_o do_v of_o the_o religion_n between_o peter_n alexandrinus_n and_o myletus_n epiphanius_n and_o chryostome_n hierome_n &_o augustine_n but_o we_o do_v exhort_v the_o christian_n not_o to_o abuse_v the_o gift_n of_o god_o through_o vain_a glory_n or_o contention_n for_o to_o be_v see_v and_o esteem_v the_o one_o above_o the_o other_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o humble_v themselves_o under_o the_o wisdom_n of_o he_o which_o have_v say_v that_o he_o have_v not_o determine_v with_o himself_o to_o know_v any_o other_o thing_n ah_o save_v jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v do_v and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n he_o say_v be_v assure_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o word_n but_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n now_o the_o remedy_n &_o help_v in_o such_o difference_n as_o cyprian_n pompey_n say_v be_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o beginning_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o his_o gospel_n &_o to_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n 3._o to_o the_o end_n that_o from_o thence_o may_v rise_v and_o come_v forth_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o do_v whereof_o the_o order_n have_v take_v his_o beginning_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n ought_v to_o be_v hear_v above_o all_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o consider_v that_o which_o some_o have_v do_v before_o we_o but_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v &_o observe_v which_o be_v before_o all_o donatist_n insomuch_o that_o we_o must_v cast_v all_o the_o counsel_n opinion_n &_o definition_n of_o man_n unto_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o in_o the_o to_o depose_v &_o put_v down_o all_o haughtiness_n arrogancy_n and_o envious_a contention_n and_o where_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v nothing_o conclude_v &_o determine_v in_o that_o case_n they_o ought_v to_o follow_v the_o manner_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o most_o ancient_a church_n with_o who_o the_o apostle_n have_v be_v conversant_a to_o conclude_v 41_o when_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v fail_v they_o must_v believe_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n which_o have_v be_v rule_v and_o govern_v be_v the_o disciple_n and_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o those_o which_o have_v have_v charge_n of_o they_o behold_v how_o they_o ought_v to_o resolve_v the_o doubt_n &_o controversy_n which_o be_v in_o the_o church_n rather_o than_o by_o vain_a disputation_n and_o unprofitable_a contention_n which_o do_v serve_v to_o none_o other_o end_n but_o to_o engender_v strife_n and_o it_o make_v i_o afraid_a how_o that_o in_o these_o latter_a day_n for_o the_o ignorance_n and_o calamity_n of_o the_o time_n they_o have_v think_v to_o declare_v and_o expound_v the_o dark_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o debate_n move_v in_o the_o church_n by_o question_n of_o natural_a philosophy_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o scripture_n right_o understand_v and_o apply_v unto_o his_o true_a sense_n b_o also_o saint_n paul_n do_v admonish_v and_o warn_v we_o to_o beware_v least_o any_o man_n come_v and_o spoil_v we_o through_o philosophy_n and_o deceitful_a vanity_n through_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n according_a to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o world_n &_o not_o after_o christ_n also_o since_o the_o apostle_n tertulian_n epistle_n a_o ancient_a author_n have_v call_v the_o philosopher_n the_o patriarch_n of_o heritick_n also_o saint_n hierome_n have_v confess_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o heretic_n be_v find_v among_o the_o subtlety_n of_o aristotle_n and_o of_o chrysippus_n i_o will_v content_v myself_o at_o this_o time_n with_o the_o witness_n of_o a_o certain_a philosopher_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o the_o counsel_n of_o nice_a who_o be_v win_v and_o bring_v to_o the_o christian_n religion_n 3_o yea_o without_o any_o kind_n of_o disputation_n by_o a_o poor_a simple_a and_o foolish_a man_n as_o the_o text_n say_v and_o be_v ask_v how_o the_o same_o be_v happen_v unto_o he_o forasmuch_o as_o before_o the_o most_o learned_a man_n of_o the_o counsel_n can_v not_o vanquish_v &_o overcome_v he_o by_o disputation_n and_o natural_a philosophy_n answer_v that_o as_o long_o as_o they_o do_v speak_v against_o he_o by_o subtlety_n of_o reason_n he_o know_v very_o well_o to_o answer_v to_o the_o argument_n of_o his_o adversary_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n but_o when_o the_o virtue_n be_v manifest_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o he_o which_o have_v pronounce_v it_o the_o word_n can_v not_o resist_v virtue_n nor_o man_n can_v speak_v against_o god._n the_o same_o do_v learn_v we_o first_o of_o all_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o best_a reform_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o saint_n john_n ●_o my_o sheep_n hear_v my_o voice_n second_o not_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n a_o through_o envy_n contention_n or_o
