all_o by_o which_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v the_o same_o that_o christ_n his_o bless_a apostle_n &_o the_o holy_a father_n teach_v be_v not_o against_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v make_v good_a also_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n for_o every_o thing_n be_v perfect_a when_o it_o have_v perfection_n in_o its_o own_o degree_n and_o so_o the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v that_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n be_v most_o perfect_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o law_n that_o no_o law_n can_v be_v more_o perfect_a and_o that_o perfection_n consist_v essential_o in_o keep_v it_o which_o nowayes_o hinder_v but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o work_v not_o command_v but_o counsel_v which_o may_v be_v prefer_v in_o perfection_n to_o some_o work_v command_v and_o so_o some_o counsel_n may_v be_v call_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o commandment_n which_o be_v about_o the_o same_o matter_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v more_o perfect_a to_o sell_v all_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v only_o a_o counsel_n than_o not_o to_o steal_v which_o be_v a_o precept_n as_o it_o be_v also_o more_o perfect_a to_o keep_v chastity_n then_o to_o marry_v and_o not_o commit_v adultery_n again_o there_o be_v some_o counsel_n more_o perfect_a than_o any_o of_o the_o commandment_n not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o external_a work_n but_o of_o the_o internal_a charity_n which_o they_o presuppose_v and_o to_o which_o they_o lead_v for_o it_o presuppose_v a_o great_a degree_n of_o perfection_n &_o charity_n to_o renounce_v all_o riches_n &_o pleasure_n which_o be_v otherwise_o lawful_a for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n then_o to_o equal_v and_o prefer_v nothing_o to_o god_n which_o be_v command_v therefore_o as_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v free_a of_o erroneous_a doctrine_n against_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n so_o we_o may_v just_o infer_v that_o your_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v the_o law_n be_v impossible_a to_o be_v keep_v be_v most_o erroneous_a against_o the_o very_a end_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n since_o it_o be_v make_v for_o that_o end_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o it_o rob_v man_n also_o of_o all_o perfection_n which_o can_v be_v have_v without_o keep_v the_o law_n then_o for_o your_o other_o accusation_n about_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n &_o the_o evangel_n albeit_o you_o strive_v by_o such_o word_n to_o affright_v the_o people_n make_v they_o believe_v that_o the_o pope_n &_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v

the_o sect_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v by_o her_o mean_n the_o gospel_n have_v be_v preserve_v and_o christ_n name_n have_v be_v honour_v among_o all_o nation_n all_o which_o she_o alone_o have_v convert_v to_o the_o faith_n but_o you_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o christ_n office_n for_o you_o will_v destroy_v his_o kirg_o office_n by_o make_v he_o a_o king_n many_o hundred_o year_n

to_o his_o priestly_a office_n by_o abolish_n the_o daily_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o which_o he_o be_v call_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n you_o be_v enemy_n likewise_o to_o his_o prophetical_a office_n for_o whereas_o he_o have_v prophesy_v so_o clear_o of_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o his_o church_n that_o it_o can_v be_v hide_v that_o

of_o almost_o all_o their_o corruption_n the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v principal_o three_o thing_n in_o this_o matter_n against_o the_o error_n of_o the_o calvinist_n first_o that_o all_o child_n

corrupt_a doctrine_n of_o calvin_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v bear_v saint_n second_o the_o catholic_n teach_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v quite_o take_v away_o and_o purge_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v against_o a_o other_o corruption_n of_o calvin_n and_o his_o follower_n who_o affirm_v that_o original_a sin_n still_o remain_v in_o we_o even_o after_o baptism_n three_o the_o catholic_a doctor_n ordinary_o teach_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o privation_n of_o original_a justice_n or_o justify_v grace_n which_o be_v in_o the_o superior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v restore_v to_o we_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v against_o a_o most_o corrupt_a error_n of_o all_o calvinist_n who_o affirm_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o concupiscence_n or_o a_o pravitie_n of_o nature_n by_o which_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v
