first_o sudden_a and_o fearful_a fermentation_n which_o so_o small_a a_o number_n can_v not_o stand_v against_o be_v not_o this_o a_o common_a and_o venial_a infirmity_n do_v not_o peter_n in_o a_o surprise_n of_o fear_n deny_v his_o master_n and_o the_o rest_n fly_v and_o yet_o he_o and_o all_o of_o they_o live_v confessor_n and_o die_v martyr_n after_o have_v not_o many_o of_o the_o most_o celebrate_a confessor_n and_o martyr_n be_v at_o some_o time_n overcome_v with_o this_o human_a infirmity_n especial_o upon_o sudden_a revolution_n and_o violent_a fermentation_n when_o the_o faithful_a can_v scarce_o know_v their_o brethren_n and_o who_o will_v be_v true_a and_o who_o false_a and_o therefore_o if_o this_o have_v indeed_o be_v the_o case_n of_o our_o suffer_a father_n it_o be_v so_o common_a not_o only_o to_o human_a nature_n but_o sometime_o to_o the_o best_a man_n of_o it_o that_o i_o will_v not_o reverence_v they_o or_o their_o memory_n after_o they_o one_o jot_n the_o less_o upon_o that_o account_n no_o man_n pretend_v to_o reverence_v the_o memory_n of_o father_n paul_n more_o than_o our_o preacher_n do_v in_o his_o life_n of_o bedell_n and_o in_o his_o travel_n although_o the_o father_n be_v so_o timorous_a that_o he_o dare_v not_o make_v one_o public_a step_n towards_o a_o reformation_n or_o do_v one_o heroic_a act_n in_o order_n to_o it_o he_o will_v indeed_o often_o commend_v the_o scripture_n in_o his_o sermon_n to_o the_o people_n and_o once_o hold_v a_o greek_a testament_n in_o one_o hand_n while_o he_o clap_v it_o with_o the_o other_o this_o this_o say_v he_o be_v the_o book_n of_o life_n with_o more_o to_o that_o purpose_n this_o occasion_v a_o gentleman_n to_o go_v to_o he_o and_o expostulate_v with_o he_o upon_o his_o sermon_n how_o he_o can_v so_o recommend_v that_o book_n and_o yet_o act_v so_o contrary_a to_o it_o every_o day_n but_o especial_o in_o his_o solemn_a mass_n to_o which_o he_o reply_v burst_v out_o into_o tear_n deus_fw-la non_fw-la mihi_fw-la dedit_fw-la spiritum_fw-la lutheri_fw-la god_n have_v not_o give_v i_o the_o spirit_n of_o luther_n and_o i_o question_v not_o but_o if_o god_n have_v see_v it_o fit_a that_o our_o suffer_a father_n shall_v have_v thunder_v in_o the_o first_o fermentation_n he_o will_v have_v pour_v out_o the_o spirit_n of_o might_n upon_o they_o and_o give_v they_o a_o thunder_a courage_n from_o above_o which_o all_o their_o adversary_n and_o all_o their_o captain_n of_o fifty_n and_o hundred_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v but_o this_o i_o say_v again_o be_v not_o their_o case_n because_o they_o act_v according_a to_o the_o stand_a rule_n of_o spiritual_a wisdom_n and_o the_o liberty_n that_o god_n have_v allow_v in_o all_o persecution_n where_o he_o be_v not_o please_v to_o interpose_v by_o inspire_a courage_n and_o thereby_o over-rule_v the_o spirit_n of_o men._n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o season_n for_o they_o then_o to_o thunder_n especial_o with_o censure_n to_o have_v do_v so_o against_o foreigner_n will_v have_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n because_o they_o be_v of_o other_o communion_n and_o to_o have_v thunder_v against_o our_o own_o people_n will_v have_v be_v to_o excommunicate_v the_o multitude_n which_o be_v against_o the_o rule_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n but_o to_o proceed_v he_o say_v they_o leave_v their_o authority_n entire_o with_o their_o chancellor_n who_o act_v in_o their_o name_n and_o by_o their_o commission_n be_v the_o same_o person_n in_o law_n with_o themselves_o and_o that_o oath_n which_o they_o think_v unlawful_a be_v tender_v to_o other_o and_o take_v by_o they_o in_o their_o name_n this_o expression_n of_o leave_v their_o authority_n with_o their_o chancellor_n be_v ambiguous_a either_o signify_v that_o they_o give_v special_a order_n and_o commission_n upon_o that_o occasion_n to_o give_v institution_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o oath_n or_o that_o the_o chancellor_n have_v those_o power_n in_o their_o patent_n before_o as_o most_o chancellor_n have_v give_v institution_n and_o administer_v the_o oath_n by_o their_o patent_n power_n when_o those_o bishop_n will_v not_o if_o the_o former_a be_v mean_v by_o he_o than_o i_o confess_v if_o any_o of_o they_o do_v so_o they_o do_v amiss_o and_o what_o they_o can_v nor_o i_o believe_v will_v undertake_v to_o justify_v but_o meek_o acknowledge_v their_o error_n which_o their_o haughty_a censor_n be_v not_o apt_a to_o do_v but_o upon_o the_o best_a inquiry_n i_o have_v have_v the_o opportunity_n to_o make_v i_o can_v find_v that_o one_o of_o they_o do_v so_o and_o if_o our_o preacher_n know_v of_o any_o one_o that_o do_v he_o may_v name_v he_o when_o he_o please_v but_o if_o the_o late_a be_v only_a mean_v by_o he_o than_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o what_o they_o can_v not_o hinder_v their_o chancellor_n from_o do_v who_o indeed_o be_v but_o too_o much_o one_o person_n in_o law_n with_o they_o as_o dr._n duck_n chancellor_n of_o wells_n show_v dr._n pierce_v the_o bishop_n of_o that_o diocese_n many_o year_n ago_o how_o can_v they_o hinder_v their_o chancellor_n from_o administer_a the_o oath_n who_o be_v more_o officious_a to_o the_o government_n then_o they_o and_o who_o have_v not_o the_o conscience_n nor_o courage_n to_o suffer_v with_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o signalise_v their_o good_a intention_n to_o it_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v how_o the_o first_o thanksgiving_n book_n and_o all_o the_o fast_a and_o thanksgiving_n office_n afterward_o be_v send_v to_o their_o chancellor_n official_o or_o register_n to_o be_v distribute_v about_o their_o diocese_n without_o they_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v that_o fast_n and_o thanksgiving_n be_v observe_v by_o their_o order_n and_o direction_n although_o they_o think_v they_o unlawful_a then_o it_o follow_v that_o though_o they_o think_v the_o oath_n unlawful_a yet_o they_o will_v scarce_o say_v so_o much_o in_o confidence_n to_o any_o of_o their_o clergy_n that_o ask_v their_o opinion_n about_o it_o both_o conceal_v their_o principle_n and_o withdraw_v from_o the_o public_a worship_n and_o yet_o not_o dare_v to_o act_v or_o speak_v against_o it_o at_o what_o a_o rate_n do_v he_o juggle_v here_o they_o will_v scarce_o say_v so_o much_o but_o it_o seem_v they_o do_v say_v it_o and_o they_o will_v scarce_o say_v so_o much_o in_o confidence_n when_o the_o person_n that_o ask_v they_o their_o opinion_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v it_o may_v be_v in_o their_o opinion_n person_n not_o be_v confide_v in_o indeed_o they_o have_v need_n be_v upon_o their_o guard_n at_o that_o time_n but_o more_o especial_o the_o archbishop_n the_o person_n who_o he_o mean_v have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v that_o some_o of_o the_o clergy_n and_o other_o come_v to_o entrap_v he_o as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v our_o saviour_n i_o have_v hear_v he_o complain_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o his_o common_a answer_n to_o some_o who_o he_o suspect_v or_o know_v not_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n what_o need_v you_o come_v to_o i_o to_o ask_v my_o opinion_n the_o world_n know_v it_o and_o my_o practice_n declare_v it_o and_o you_o know_v it_o before_o you_o come_v and_o if_o it_o be_v my_o reason_n that_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o then_o let_v this_o one_o suffice_v i_o can_v take_v contrary_a oath_n but_o where_o he_o have_v confidence_n in_o person_n no_o man_n speak_v more_o or_o better_a upon_o the_o subject_a as_o many_o be_v ready_a to_o attest_v and_o i_o will_v ask_v our_o preacher_n how_o can_v the_o notoriety_n of_o his_o practice_n and_o particular_o his_o withdraw_n from_o public_a worship_n be_v consistent_a with_o conceal_v his_o principle_n which_o not_o only_o the_o learned_a but_o the_o unlearned_a know_v captain_n tom_n regiment_n and_o the_o waterman_n know_v they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o clergy_n and_o those_o who_o forsooth_o go_v to_o he_o to_o ask_v his_o opinion_n about_o the_o oath_n may_v as_o well_o have_v ask_v he_o what_o religion_n he_o be_v of_o for_o the_o one_o be_v as_o well_o know_v as_o the_o other_o then_o he_o tell_v that_o they_o hope_v at_o this_o rate_n to_o have_v hold_v their_o see_z and_o enjoy_v their_o revenue_n while_o in_o a_o silent_a but_o fearful_a manner_n they_o still_o adhere_v to_o a_o interest_n which_o as_o one_o of_o they_o write_v they_o can_v no_o more_o part_n with_o than_o with_o their_o interest_n in_o heaven_n the_o very_a reverend_a and_o worthy_a prelate_n who_o say_v that_o do_v neither_o in_o a_o silent_a or_o fearful_a manner_n adhere_v to_o that_o interest_n for_o it_o be_v very_o well_o
