forsake_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v heretic_n and_o apostat_n for_o to_o make_v this_o hold_n you_o must_v first_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v tie_v his_o religion_n now_o to_o rome_n as_o he_o

that_o be_v a_o heretic_n for_o if_o any_o do_v depart_v from_o worship_v in_o the_o temple_n he_o be_v not_o a_o apostate_n for_o depart_v from_o wicked_a priest_n but_o for_o refuse_v that_o which_o

church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n whosoever_o do_v separate_v himself_o from_o the_o church_n do_v depart_v from_o the_o truth_n and_o by_o this_o we_o do_v still_o prove_v that_o you_o be_v all_o heretic_n and_o schismatics_n and_o do_v pervert_v the_o scripture_n because_o you_o take_v they_o not_o as_o the_o church_n do_v expound_v they_o the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o be_v on_o your_o

sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o first_o you_o reason_v thus_o the_o unlearned_a do_v pervert_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o none_o can_v understand_v the_o scripture_n but_o the_o learned_a by_o this_o your_o meaning_n be_v to_o shut_v out_o all_o the_o laiety_n as_o you_o call_v they_o from_o judge_v of_o doctrine_n and_o to_o allow_v understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o none_o but_o the_o learned_a that_o be_v the_o clergy_n of_o rome_n for_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v by_o and_o by_o but_o you_o overshoote_v yourself_o much_o when_o you_o think_v that_o saint_n

all_o those_o learned_a which_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n both_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o other_o &_o all_o those_o be_v unlearned_a which_o be_v not_o teach_v of_o god_n although_o otherwise_o they_o abound_v in_o all_o knowledge_n of_o tongue_n and_o art_n or_o whatsoever_o such_o as_o have_v learned_a christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o crucify_v and_o so_o be_v become_v

so_o study_v a_o man_n in_o the_o scripture_n 11._o math._n 11._o for_o this_o cause_n we_o see_v that_o the_o poor_a publican_n be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o wisdom_n because_o they_o embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n when_o the_o great_a doctor_n the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n be_v stark_o blind_a they_o say_v none_o follow_v christ_n but_o the_o multitude_n which_o know_v not_o the_o law_n 7._o john_n 7._o which_o be_v accurse_v when_o as_o indeed_o they_o be_v blind_a and_o accurse_a themselves_o &_o so_o fare_v it_o now_o with_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o shaveling_n they_o say_v the_o people_n can_v understand_v the_o scripture_n when_o themselves_o do_v not_o the_o next_o sentence_n upon_o which_o you_o conclude_v be_v out_o of_o peter_n also_o where_o he_o say_v no_o scripture_n be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n from_o hence_o you_o fetch_v a_o invincible_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o none_o of_o we_o may_v interpret_v but_o rome_n only_o no_o private_a man_n be_v to_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n because_o no_o scripture_n be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n all_o those_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o popish_a clergy_n or_o which_o have_v not_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n from_o the_o pope_n or_o do_v not_o expound_v as_o the_o church_n be_v private_a man_n therefore_o none_o of_o those_o be_v to_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n here_o the_o pope_n like_o a_o greedy_a cormorant_n will_v have_v all_o to_o himself_o but_o you_o deal_v deceitful_o or_o at_o the_o least_o unskilful_o with_o the_o text_n which_o you_o allege_v for_o saint_n peter_n when_o he_o say_v private_a do_v not_o speak_v it_o to_o make_v this_o difference_n between_o man_n as_o though_o for_o interpret_n the_o scripture_n some_o shall_v have_v authority_n &_o some_o shall_v be_v private_a but_o he_o set_v man_n against_o god_n call_v that_o private_a which_o be_v of_o man_n for_o he_o do_v reason_n thus_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o give_v by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o interpretation_n thereof_o must_v be_v of_o god_n &_o man_n must_v not_o bring_v that_o which_o be_v their_o own_o if_o the_o interpretation_n be_v by_o the_o spirit_n then_o be_v it_o not_o private_a if_o it_o be_v out_o of_o man_n brain_n although_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o pope_n &_o all_o his_o cardinal_n yea_o ten_o thousand_o pope_n it_o be_v still_o private_a after_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o s._n peter_n do_v call_v private_a for_o let_v any_o skilful_a man_n in_o the_o greek_a tongue_n look_v upon_o the_o word_n which_o be_v idias_fw-la epiluseos_fw-la and_o he_o will_v confess_v that_o it_o do_v signify_v that_o which_o be_v once_o own_o then_o the_o sense_n be_v plain_a and_o it_o be_v also_o

which_o be_v his_o own_o therefore_o none_o may_v interpret_v they_o but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n your_o last_o reason_n be_v not_o worth_a answer_v for_o although_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n &_o that_o those_o be_v void_a of_o truth_n which_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o church_n yet_o this_o be_v as_o false_a that_o the_o pope_n &_o his_o
