though_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o by_o blood_n and_o as_o though_o bless_a mary_n milk_n have_v no_o merit_n at_o all_o it_o seem_v that_o as_o thou_o be_v a_o persecutor_n and_o delight_v

that_o forbid_v he_o to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a under_o pain_n of_o stand_v guilty_a at_o the_o bar_n of_o god_n justice_n he_o dare_v offer_v to_o abuse_v the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o

comparison_n be_v not_o much_o unequal_a for_o the_o jesuit_n be_v most_o like_a to_o nail_n &_o lance_n in_o christ_n body_n for_o see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o that_o wicked_a man_n by_o their_o sin_n do_v and_o do_v pierce_v christ_n then_o the_o jesuite_n who_o by_o their_o atheism_n cruelty_n perjury_n equivocation_n treason_n and_o manifold_a impiety_n have_v be_v sharp_a nail_n and_o lance_n in_o christ_n body_n and_o great_a dishonorer_n of_o his_o religion_n than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o man_n if_o the_o voice_n of_o all_o christendom_n &_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o brethren_n be_v true_a they_o the_o jesuit_n i_o say_v be_v not_o unfit_o resemble_v to_o nail_n &_o lance_n and_o indeed_o they_o be_v thorn_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o prick_v in_o the_o side_n of_o all_o prince_n and_o state_n where_o they_o come_v less_o marvel_n though_o they_o be_v like_o the_o nail_n and_o spear_n in_o christ_n body_n therefore_o let_v the_o jesuit_n please_v himself_o in_o this_o comparison_n as_o long_o as_o he_o will_v we_o envy_v it_o not_o but_o for_o the_o second_o that_o he_o be_v better_a than_o the_o clothes_n that_o be_v about_o these_o two_o bless_a body_n i_o say_v but_o this_o that_o either_o the_o jesuit_n be_v far_o more_o holy_a than_o the_o prophet_n esay_n or_o else_o he_o far_o more_o humble_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n than_o they_o for_o he_o profess_v in_o his_o own_o &_o the_o church_n name_n that_o they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o filthy_a clout_n that_o ever_o be_v even_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n but_o say_v the_o jesuit_n i_o be_o better_a than_o the_o best_a cloth_n that_o ever_o be_v for_o though_o we_o hold_v that_o god_n have_v give_v last_v virtue_n to_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n but_o none_o that_o we_o know_v to_o rag_n or_o clout_n yet_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o as_o far_o as_o clothes_n may_v one_o excel_v mother_n those_o that_o touch_v the_o body_n of_o our_o loid_v and_o his_o mother_n be_v the_o most_o precious_a and_o if_o we_o can_v be_v sure_o we_o have_v they_o we_o will_v esteem_v they_o above_o cloth_n of_o gold_n we_o therefore_o wonder_v how_o a_o man_n come_v before_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n dare_v in_o his_o prayer_n make_v himself_o better_a than_o those_o clothes_n especial_o hear_v the_o prophet_n cry_v before_o he_o o_o lord_n all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v like_o a_o menstruous_a clout_n if_o our_o best_a be_v so_o filthy_a what_o be_v our_o nature_n what_o be_v our_o sin_n if_o he_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o cavil_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n he_o be_v therefore_o capable_a of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n which_o the_o clothes_n be_v not_o i_o think_v so_o also_o but_o why_o then_o do_v he_o envy_v that_o milk_n and_o blood_n shall_v touch_v they_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o material_a and_o real_a milk_n and_o blood_n that_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o mother_n than_o he_o be_v more_o than_o mad_a to_o envy_v the_o nail_n the_o lance_n the_o clout_n for_o that_o they_o do_v touch_v they_o and_o yet_o he_o can_v and_o if_o he_o complain_v that_o he_o may_v not_o we_o ask_v he_o why_o then_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n take_v more_o careful_a order_n to_o gather_v up_o and_o preserve_v that_o milk_n and_o blood_n or_o if_o they_o do_v not_o at_o least_o why_o do_v they_o not_o complain_v of_o the_o want_n of_o they_o as_o he_o do_v here_o sure_o either_o they_o have_v too_o little_a devotion_n or_o the_o icluir_n too_o much_o superstition_n but_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o virtue_n merit_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o milk_n then_o let_v he_o answer_v we_o two_o short_a question_n first_o what_o spiritual_a virtue_n and_o power_n have_v that_o milk_n what_o do_v it_o work_v in_o our_o salvation_n more_o than_o the_o milk_n of_o another_o woman_n can_v what_o do_v it_o merit_v for_o we_o what_o the_o blood_n do_v we_o know_v and_o most_o willing_o do_v acknowledge_v but_o what_o the_o milk_n do_v or_o can_v do_v if_o the_o jesuite_n can_v tell_v and_o teach_v we_o we_o will_v not_o refuse_v to_o learn_v but_o suppose_v that_o it_o have_v as_o much_o virtue_n as_o the_o blood_n as_o the_o jesuite_n affirm_v but_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o once_o so_o to_o think_v then_o second_o we_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o think_v the_o nail_n lance_n and_o clout_n be_v partaker_n of_o the_o virtue_n and_o merit_n of_o that_o blood_n if_o he_o do_v let_v he_o show_v where_o he_o receive_v such_o divinity_n if_o not_o then_o to_o what_o end_n complain_v he_o to_o god_n in_o such_o a_o fashion_n lord_n i_o be_o better_a than_o the_o nail_n and_o clout_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v blood_n and_o milk_n enough_o but_o i_o die_v for_o thirst_n if_o this_o be_v not_o to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a and_o that_o in_o a_o high_a measure_n we_o appeal_v to_o all_o christian_a man_n of_o reasonable_a judgement_n and_o thus_o at_o last_o be_v we_o come_v to_o a_o end_n of_o this_o jesuitical_a gospel_n the_o impiety_n whereof_o i_o now_o remit_v to_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o for_o my_o conclusion_n lest_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o this_o be_v but_o one_o private_a jesuit_n deed_n and_o therefore_o may_v not_o preindice_n the_o
