which_o be_v ●ut_z man_n in_o like_o manner_n john_n the_o baptist_n than_o the_o which_o there_o be_v never_o any_o holy_a amongst_o man_n who_o christe_o also_o commend_v send_v his_o disciple_n

sith_o it_o be_v most_o sure_a that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n have_v not_o alter_v their_o mind_n then_o be_v it_o without_o all_o doubt_n that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v call_v upon_o and_o pray_v

godly_a thing_n the_o answer_n this_o question_n comprise_v in_o it_o three_o other_o first_o what_o we_o think_v of_o pilgrimage_n that_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n for_o religion_n sake_n second_o what_o we_o think_v of_o the_o relic_n and_o bone_n of_o the_o saint_n three_o what_o we_o think_v of_o their_o temple_n to_o these_o we_o answer_v all_o those_o thing_n be_v godly_a which_o man_n do_v be_v thereunto_o command_v of_o god_n by_o his_o word_n wherefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v we_o judge_v these_o pilgrimage_n godly_a then_o show_v we_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n where_o they_o be_v institute_v and_o command_v of_o god_n for_o we_o can_v find_v no_o one_o letter_n or_o title_n of_o holy_a scripture_n where_o any_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o these_o pilgrimage_n but_o most_o perfect_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o esteem_v one_o place_n in_o this_o earth_n better_o than_o another_o nor_o to_o gad_n hither_o and_o thither_o for_o the_o

saint_n send_v we_o from_o themselves_o to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o allow_v not_o of_o these_o pilgrimage_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o profitable_a nor_o healthful_a for_o those_o which_o take_v they_o in_o hand_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v they_o touch_v the_o bone_n and_o relic_n of_o saint_n saint_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o they_o either_o they_o be_v their_o write_n contain_v their_o doctrine_n or_o some_o part_n or_o meniber_n of_o their_o body_n or_o some_o exterioure_fw-fr thing_n which_o they_o use_v as_o their_o garment_n and_o such_o like_a their_o 1._o write_n therefore_o which_o contain_v their_o doctrine_n be_v the_o right_a relic_n yea_o the_o unspeakable_a treasure_n of_o all_o good_a christian_n which_o ought_v therefore_o to_o be_v have_v in_o most_o great_a honour_n again_o the_o bone_n and_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v worthy_a of_o their_o honour_n as_o have_v part_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a for_o the_o which_o they_o look_v and_o be_v beside_o the_o house_n of_o that_o most_o excellent_a spirit_n with_o which_o they_o be_v fulfil_v but_o even_o as_o the_o body_n of_o the_o patriarch_n of_o moses_n aaron_n josua_n the_o king_n prophet_n and_o the_o holy_a body_n of_o christ_n of_o john_n stephen_n and_o other_o the_o apostle_n be_v most_o honourable_o bury_v so_o be_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o saint_n commit_v to_o the_o earth_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v dig_v up_o nor_o set_v to_o be_v worship_v of_o the_o christian_n in_o their_o church_n as_o athanasius_n have_v teach_v in_o the_o life_n of_o bless_a anthony_n furthermore_o if_o we_o have_v ought_v which_o we_o know_v the_o saint_n use_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o worship_v it_o for_o as_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v teach_v we_o such_o worship_v be_v superstition_n and_o displease_v both_o god_n and_o the_o saint_n as_o before_o it_o be_v say_v what_o thing_n else_o may_v be_v say_v touch_v relic_n i_o here_o omit_v because_o their_o deceit_n be_v evident_o know_v for_o oftentimes_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o head_n arm_n or_o some_o one_o or_o other_o member_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o two_o or_o three_o place_n as_o though_o he_o have_v have_v three_o head_n or_o three_o arm_n more_o than_o any_o other_o man_n again_o in_o the_o stead_n of_o relic_n fond_a and_o foolish_a thing_n be_v offer_v unto_o man_n to_o be_v worship_v by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o saint_n be_v rather_o dishonour_v than_o honour_v yet_o in_o this_o their_o merchandise_n they_o so_o shameful_o behave_v themselves_o that_o those_o which_o have_v in_o they_o any_o spark_n of_o honesty_n although_o they_o delight_n in_o papistical_a doctrine_n yet_o be_v they_o displease_v hereat_o last_o temple_n and_o chapel_n be_v saint_n not_o to_o be_v dedicate_v and_o build_v unto_o saint_n which_o now_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o they_o only_o ought_v to_o have_v sepulcher_n or_o grave_n as_o become_v mortal_a man_n wherefore_o although_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o our_o elder_n for_o some_o good_a intent_n do_v build_v temple_n unto_o the_o saint_n yet_o be_v it_o evident_a that_o it_o displease_v both_o god_n &_o the_o saint_n for_o temple_n be_v not_o to_o be_v build_v in_o the_o name_n of_o saint_n nor_o congregation_n ought_v to_o be_v collect_v in_o their_o name_n for_o that_o honour_n be_v due_a to_o the_o creator_n only_o as_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v prove_v by_o diverse_a authority_n both_o of_o the_o scripture_n &_o of_o man_n which_o here_o for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o do_v omit_v wherefore_o we_o judge_v that_o the_o christian_n have_v need_n of_o church_n to_o be_v build_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n &_o of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o which_o his_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v preach_v public_a prayer_n to_o be_v make_v the_o sacrament_n minister_v &_o alm_n to_o be_v bestow_v and_o of_o these_o church_n we_o think_v very_o honourable_o and_o therefore_o glad_o call_v they_o the_o church_n or_o house_n of_o god_n &_o of_o christ_n and_o aught_o in_o no_o wise_a to_o be_v profane_v as_o i_o have_v already_o else_o where_o sufficient_o teach_v the._n xxxij_o question_n whether_o they_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o godly_a to_o light_v up_o candle_n before_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n and_o the_o image_n and_o relic_n of_o saint_n the_o answer_n the_o use_n of_o candle_n be_v necessary_a church_n in_o the_o church_n in_o the_o night_n time_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o darkness_n as_o in_o the_o morning_n before_o day_n etc_n etc_n and_o after_o this_o sort_n do_v the_o apostle_n use_v

this_o be_v clean_a contrary_n to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o condemn_v by_o lactantius_n a_o most_o ancient_a wryte●_n 1._o our_o heart_n must_v be_v kindle_v unto_o god_n in_o the_o

as_o i_o say_v before_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o christ_n in_o his_o blood_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o because_o the_o church_n be_v a_o congregation_n or_o company_n peradventure_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v in_o our_o mother_n tongue_n kuch_n by_o this_o letter_n l_o and_o not_o as_o some_o other_o german_n do_v sound_v it_o by_o the_o letter_n r._n for_o in_o the_o hebrew_n

when_o they_o confess_v that_o god_n govern_v his_o church_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n forthwith_o the_o popish_a bishop_n conclude_v thereof_o that_o the_o church_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v

they_o brag_v to_o be_v the_o true_a primative_a apostolic_a church_n as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v prove_v second_o we_o d●●_n not_o confess_v that_o the_o err_v church_n can_v not_o altogether_o or_o in_o all_o point_n err_v for_o so_o long_o as_o she_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o only_o harken_v unto_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o by_o his_o motion_n and_o word_n she_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v err_v but_o if_o she_o swerve_v at_o any_o time_n from_o the_o government_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o govern_v after_o her_o own_o lust_n then_o true_o she_o not_o only_o may_v but_o also_o do_v err_v but_o if_o any_o will_v ask_v whether_o the_o church_n may_v swerve_v from_o the_o direction_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a and_o may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n here_o upon_o this_o earth_n often_o time_n under_o moses_n the_o judge_n and_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o juda_n have_v err_v yea_o and_o that_o the_o disciple_n of_o chryst_n who_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n do_v err_v and_o have_v their_o fall_n for_o who_o be_v ignorant_a what_o happen_v to_o david_n aaron_n peter_n and_o other_o the_o holy_a saint_n and_o disciple_n of_o chryst_n yea_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o church_n be_v gather_v not_o of_o angel_n but_o of_o man_n wherefore_o although_o it_o be_v inspire_v and_o govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o thereby_o turn_v into_o the_o spirit_n for_o it_o keep_v still_o her_o flesh_n and_o the_o infirmity_n thereof_o yea_o even_o unto_o death_n who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o those_o write_n which_o saint_n paul_n have_v general_o utter_v touch_v the_o battle_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o ungodly_a and_o unbeléever_v only_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o even_o in_o the_o faithful_a also_o and_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o this_o battle_n be_v so_o
