and_o therefore_o mean_v not_o that_o lent_n and_o abstinence_n from_o marriage_n which_o be_v institute_v long_o ago_o hereto_o i_o answer_v 18._o that_o s._n john_n even_o in_o his_o time_n say_v that_o there_o be_v many_o antichristes_n and_o that_o thereby_o he_o know_v the_o latter_a day_n then_o to_o be_v come_v so_o as_o if_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n term_v the_o latter_a day_n much_o better_a may_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n call_v those_o the_o latter_a day_n wherein_o both_o lent_n and_o abstinence_n from_o marriage_n be_v bring_v in_o infinite_a particularity_n which_o may_v be_v allege_v 12_o will_v i_o omit_v as_o be_v content_a to_o have_v touch_v some_o part_n of_o the_o gross_a abuse_n and_o now_o will_v proceed_v to_o speak_v general_o of_o our_o doctor_n doctrine_n which_o i_o say_v can_v not_o be_v tax_v of_o heresy_n some_o thing_n do_v they_o hold_v common_a with_o the_o catholic_n and_o in_o some_o other_o do_v they_o differ_v as_o well_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o have_v some_o good_a thing_n wherein_o they_o do_v agree_v and_o in_o either_o of_o they_o may_v there_o be_v find_v some_o thing_n disputable_a for_o all_o man_n be_v man_n herein_o do_v they_o differ_v that_o the_o doctor_n which_o call_v themselves_o catholic_n i_o speak_v of_o those_o of_o our_o day_n have_v their_o face_n turn_v to_o superstition_n where_o as_o the_o reform_a doctor_n have_v as_o concern_v that_o point_n satisfy_v themselves_o by_o depart_v from_o popish_a superstition_n superstitious_a doctrine_n uphold_v the_o worship_n of_o image_n which_o be_v idolatry_n and_o it_o uphold_v the_o prohibition_n from_o marriage_n and_o from_o the_o use_n of_o meat_n which_o god_n spirit_n term_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n it_o be_v therefore_o find_v to_o be_v erroneous_a since_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v say_v that_o such_o man_n cleave_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n yea_o that_o they_o be_v even_o revolt_v from_o the_o faith_n show_v that_o they_o have_v estrange_v themselves_o from_o the_o true_a ground_n thereof_o wherein_o it_o convict_v they_o of_o heresy_n in_o this_o then_o do_v they_o differ_v videl_n that_o in_o the_o superstitious_a doctor_n there_o be_v heresy_n but_o in_o the_o reform_a there_o be_v none_o some_o matter_n there_o may_v be_v disputable_a in_o the_o author_n of_o reformation_n but_o no_o heresy_n that_o be_v no_o doctrine_n utter_o repugnant_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o faith_n i_o know_v there_o be_v catholic_a doctor_n that_o some_o time_n do_v skirmish_n against_o the_o reform_a &_o to_o persuade_v man_n that_o there_o be_v error_n in_o their_o writing_n do_v often_o time_n propound_v such_o thing_n as_o the_o other_o never_o speak_v of_o or_o if_o they_o have_v speak_v of_o any_o such_o do_v wrest_v their_o word_n into_o a_o other_o sense_n but_o admit_v that_o in_o some_o point_n there_o be_v some_o fault_n as_o all_o man_n be_v man_n &_o we_o will_v not_o make_v our_o doctor_n apostle_n there_o be_v difference_n between_o a_o simple_a oversight_n and_o a_o heresy_n but_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o may_v not_o tax_v the_o reformation_n of_o heresy_n see_v that_o we_o account_n not_o our_o doctor_n opinion_n as_o oracle_n or_o gounde_n of_o doctrine_n moreover_o we_o confess_v that_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o the_o day_n be_v so_o form_v that_o the_o break_v of_o the_o day_n go_v before_o the_o sun_n rise_v and_o the_o sun_n rise_v before_o noon_n the_o break_n of_o day_n be_v never_o so_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n rise_v neither_o be_v the_o sun_n rise_v so_o light_a as_o high_a noon_n whereof_o we_o conclude_v that_o in_o the_o reformation_n there_o be_v nothing_o so_o clear_a but_o may_v be_v better_o lighten_v again_o a_o tree_n bear_v fruit_n that_o come_v not_o all_o unto_o ripeness_n but_o some_o part_n become_v untimely_a fruit_n which_o the_o tree_n let_v fall_v &_o those_o be_v ordinary_o sour_a bitter_a wormeaten_a etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o fruit_n which_o grow_v until_o it_o be_v ripe_a prove_v very_o good_a even_o so_o this_o age_n have_v bring_v forth_o many_o writer_n and_o infinite_a vain_a writing_n neither_o have_v we_o as_o yet_o see_v for_o the_o most_o part_n other_o then_o untimely_a fruit_n of_o reformation_n but_o when_o the_o ripe_a fruit_n appear_v then_o shall_v we_o know_v the_o excellency_n thereof_o hereupon_o be_v it_o say_v in_o the_o revelation_n let_v he_o that_o be_v holy_a sanctify_v himself_o better_a which_o teach_v we_o to_o labour_v for_o perfection_n by_o correct_v the_o imperfection_n that_o be_v within_o us._n moreover_o i_o say_v that_o often_o time_n the_o catholic_a doctor_n do_v in_o their_o pulpite_n strive_v against_o our_o doctor_n and_o obtain_v all_o the_o victory_n where_o as_o if_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o party_n they_o may_v be_v force_v to_o divide_v it_o for_o he_o that_o make_v his_o own_o hand_n to_o play_v each_o against_o other_o be_v still_o sure_a to_o win_v all_o but_o if_o he_o shall_v set_v they_o to_o wrestle_v with_o a_o other_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o lose_v but_o no_o man_n can_v say_v we_o have_v do_v amiss_o in_o give_v over_o the_o catholic_a doctor_n maintainer_n of_o superstitious_a doctrine_n to_o the_o end_n to_o cleave_v to_o other_o which_o maintain_v no_o superstition_n superstition_n than_o have_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o pope_n not_o the_o state_n of_o the_o clergy_n for_o we_o do_v allow_v of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o clergy_n as_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n so_o long_o as_o it_o cleave_v to_o god_n law_n which_o do_v allow_v the_o estate_n thereof_o upon_o condition_n that_o they_o renounce_v all_o superstition_n repugnant_a to_o god_n word_n and_o exercise_v equity_n charity_n and_o mercy_n the_o pope_n and_o his_o suppost_n do_v say_v 13_o that_o reformation_n be_v a_o new_a matter_n and_o must_v therefore_o be_v authorise_v by_o miracle_n hold_v as_o a_o principle_n that_o every_o new_a doctrine_n must_v be_v authorise_v by_o miracle_n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o say_v their_o superstition_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v authorise_v by_o miracle_n as_o be_v more_o new_a than_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o reform_a for_o the_o pope_n most_o ancient_a superstition_n be_v the_o same_o of_o the_o cross_n &_o of_o relic_n which_o holy_a cross_n helen_n the_o mother_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a find_v after_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a &_o the_o rest_n have_v creep_v in_o since_o in_o process_n of_o time_n as_o image_n abstinence_n from_o marriage_n purgatory_n &_o such_o like_a &_o those_o which_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o helen_n the_o mother_n of_o great_a constantin_n &_o grand_a mother_n of_o superstition_n have_v already_o continue_v 1260._o year_n which_o be_v the_o term_n to_o they_o prefix_v in_o the_o revelation_n so_o as_o thereby_o we_o may_v know_v that_o they_o be_v come_v to_o their_o full_a period_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n continue_v from_o the_o apostle_n unto_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a &_o that_o superstition_n creep_v in_o since_o this_o doctrine_n then_o which_o be_v before_o the_o superstition_n which_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o helen_n and_o by_o the_o pope_n augment_v be_v pure_a and_o yet_o more_o ancient_a than_o superstition_n and_o be_v the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o reform_a do_v shoot_v at_o the_o religion_n therefore_o of_o the_o reform_a be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o pope_n superstition_n and_o therefore_o need_v not_o to_o be_v authorise_v by_o miracle_n have_v already_o be_v authorise_v by_o the_o same_o miracle_n which_o our_o lord_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v work_v and_o popish_a superstition_n be_v the_o new_a stand_v in_o great_a need_n of_o authorise_v by_o miracle_n yea_o and_o thus_o much_o will_v i_o maintain_v that_o albeit_o it_o have_v miracle_n yet_o may_v they_o not_o suffice_v to_o make_v it_o of_o authority_n for_o no_o miracle_n can_v authorise_v that_o doctrine_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 10._o yea_o and_o moses_n say_v that_o albeit_o a_o prophet_n or_o a_o dreamer_n 4._o shall_v prophesy_v or_o dream_v any_o such_o dream_n 13._o as_o shall_v peradventure_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o be_v miracle_n sufficient_a to_o authorise_v any_o good_a doctrine_n yet_o if_o the_o same_o shall_v preach_v false_a god_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v beleve_v but_o present_o to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n howbeit_o i_o say_v that_o in_o popery_n they_o preach_v no_o false_a god_n but_o they_o do_v thing_n equivalent_a thereto_o for_o every_o thing_n whereto_o man_n do_v erect_v any_o
