in_o the_o case_n of_o abraham_n offering_n up_o isaac_n and_o the_o israelite_n spoil_v the_o egyptian_n of_o their_o jewel_n yet_o i_o need_v no_o other_o answer_n but_o this_o i_o direct_o deny_v that_o here_o be_v any_o contradiction_n at_o all_o for_o our_o question_n be_v not_o about_o the_o make_n of_o image_n whether_o by_o god_n order_n or_o man_n but_o about_o the_o worship_v of_o they_o and_o albeit_o there_o be_v such_o image_n make_v yet_o they_o be_v not_o make_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o i_o before_o prove_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o danger_n the_o people_n shall_v worship_v they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o admit_v to_o see_v they_o but_o i_o pray_v you_o answer_v i_o this_o one_o question_n i_o be_o tell_v that_o divers_a of_o your_o own_o author_n confess_v that_o the_o jew_n indeed_o be_v though_o christian_n be_v not_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o image_n by_o this_o command_n be_v it_o so_o pop._n these_o indeed_o be_v the_o word_n of_o our_o famous_a vasquez_n

opinion_n which_o to_o i_o always_o seem_v most_o probable_a to_o wit_n that_o all_o the_o use_n of_o image_n be_v here_o forbid_a to_o the_o jew_n 2._o and_o for_o this_o he_o quote_v many_o of_o our_o approve_a author_n and_o salmeron_n say_v no_o less_o prima●_n prot._n and_o you_o need_v say_v no_o more_o for_o then_o all_o these_o author_n think_v your_o distinction_n of_o image_n and_o idol_n frivolous_a and_o that_o the_o word_n p●sel_n be_v mean_v of_o any_o image_n and_o not_o of_o idol_n only_o as_o you_o foolish_o distinguish_v and_o so_o your_o principal_a refuge_n be_v lose_v

they_o pray_v for_o all_o their_o ancestor_n patriarch_n prophet_n and_o martyr_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o in_o some_o of_o their_o liturgy_n be_v it_o so_o pop._n it_o be_v so_o prot._n i_o pray_v

though_o god_n free_o give_v to_o all_o that_o be_v true_o penitent_a forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o freedom_n from_o eternal_a death_n yet_o since_o they_o have_v much_o venial_a sin_n and_o corruption_n in_o they_o in_o which_o ofttimes_o they_o die_v therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o those_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o god_n justice_n either_o do_v or_o suffer_v such_o penance_n fast_n prayer_n etc._n etc._n as_o be_v enjoin_v they_o here_o or_o where_o those_o be_v not_o sufficient_a suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o

clear_a argument_n for_o it_o because_o you_o lay_v so_o great_a a_o stress_n upon_o it_o but_o first_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n be_v confess_v by_o divers_a of_o your_o own_o brethren_n to_o be_v but_o a_o new_a doctrine_n be_v it_o so_o pop._n i_o will_v not_o dissemble_v with_o you_o several_a of_o our_o doctor_n have_v unadvised_o blurt_v out_o such_o expression_n as_o these_o our_o famous_a english_a martyr_n fisher_n bishop_n of_o rochester_n confess_v that_o purgatory_n be_v for_o a_o long_a time_n unknown_a and_o either_o never_a or_o very_a

encourage_v by_o your_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n in_o absolution_n and_o indulgence_n in_o my_o acquaintance_n i_o have_v know_v several_a papist_n that_o have_v wonderful_o encourage_v themselves_o in_o their_o wicked_a way_n from_o this_o consideration_n especial_o when_o easter_n draw_v near_o because_o they_o know_v they_o shall_v very_o sudden_o be_v shrive_v and_o absolve_v

i_o they_o will_v present_o lead_v i_o to_o your_o religion_n and_o so_o again_o your_o religion_n do_v not_o at_o all_o promote_v serious_a holiness_n but_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n of_o it_o be_v dwindle_v away_o into_o mere_a formality_n what_o can_v be_v of_o more_o pestilent_a consequence_n to_o true_a holiness_n than_o to_o tell_v a_o man_n that_o the_o say_n so_o many_o paternosters_a

against_o your_o religion_n since_o i_o understand_v that_o you_o turn_v that_o great_a doctrine_n of_o repentance_n into_o a_o mere_a formality_n what_o a_o sad_a doctrine_n be_v it_o that_o your_o
