A89682	An apology for the service of love, and the people that own it, commonly called, the family of love. Being a plain, but groundly discourse, about the right and true Christian religion : set forth dialogue-wise between the citizen, the countreyman, and an exile : as the same was presented to the high court of Parliament, in the time of Queen Elizabeth; and penned by one of her Majesties menial servants, who was in no small esteem with her, for his wisdom and godliness. With another short confession of their faith, made by the same people. And finally some notes & collections, gathered by a private hand out of H.N. upon, or concerning the eight beatitudes.	Niclaes, Hendrik, 1502?-1580?	1656 (1656)	Wing N1122; Thomason E1610_1; ESTC R210332	24,412	73

iniquity_n and_o with_o all_o hypocrite_n receive_v their_o portion_n in_o the_o hellish_a condemnation_n consider_v advise_o of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v very_o true_a citizen_n but_o will_v thou_o

read_v in_o any_o writing_n that_o can_v they_o ready_o speak_v out_o again_o but_o not_o like_a as_o all_o those_o true_a prophet_n of_o god_n and_o disciple_n of_o christ_n have_v always_o do_v out_o of_o any_o godly_a understanding_n through_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n or_o christ_n for_o that_o be_v impossible_a because_o the_o same_o spirit_n be_v not_o with_o they_o for_o allbeit_v they_o have_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o godly_a witness_n wherethrough_a they_o mean_v to_o be_v understanding_n and_o wise_a yet_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o give_v not_o all_o their_o

they_o neither_o know_v nor_o yet_o understand_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o right_o of_o that_o whereof_o they_o then_o pray_v or_o speak_v forth_o unto_o other_o citizen_n if_o all_o such_o as_o thou_o have_v here_o speak_v of_o be_v libertine_n have_v neither_o light_n truth_n nor_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o christ_n then_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o for_o then_o be_v it_o all_o in_o vain_a for_o many_o a_o one_o in_o these_o day_n to_o stand_v up_o or_o teach_v in_o a_o congregation_n notwithstanding_o i_o can_v be_v persuade_v as_o yet_o although_o i_o most_o needs_o grant_v that_o

the_o scripture_n and_o be_v no_o long_o deceive_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o stand_v write_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n the_o heavenly_a truth_n the_o right_a spirit_n yea_o and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o then_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o those_o which_o be_v void_a of_o christ_n shall_v preach_v or_o prophesy_v aright_o the_o true_a to_o inde_fw-la or_o

the_o lord_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o contain_v the_o truth_n the_o life_n or_o christ_n itself_o and_o therefore_o for_o want_v of_o the_o true_a spirit_n of_o understanding_n there_o arise_v in_o these_o day_n great_a contention_n about_o the_o scripture_n citizen_n the_o more_o be_v to_o be_v lament_v but_o yet_o i_o pray_v thou_o answer_v i_o herein_o for_o i_o be_o not_o resolve_v in_o

through_o the_o bond_n of_o antichrist_n which_o be_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n that_o have_v we_o long_o in_o captivity_n be_v now_o break_v and_o we_o all_o by_o that_o mean_v set_v at_o liberty_n
