Howlets vntimely shreeching in her Maiesties eares with an answeare to the reasons alleadged in a discourse therunto annexed, why Catholikes (as they are called) refuse to goe to church: vvherein (among other things) the papists traiterous and treacherous doctrine and demeanour towardes our Soueraigne and the state, is somewhat at large vpon occasion vnfolded: their diuelish pretended conscience also examined, and the foundation thereof vndermined.

those_o fellow_n can_v now_o allege_v for_o themselves_o unto_o the_o examination_n therefore_o of_o this_o man_n particular_a reason_n for_o refusal_n of_o come_v to_o church_n i_o now_o turn_v

their_o doctrine_n to_o be_v false_a doctrine_n and_o consequent_o venomous_a unto_o the_o hearer_n i_o may_v not_o venture_v my_o soul_n to_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o same_o so_o that_o the_o first_o proposition_n or_o ground_n of_o this_o first_o reason_n to_o make_v it_o in_o form_n of_o argument_n be_v this_o no_o man_n that_o persuade_v himself_o the_o doctrine_n now_o profess_v and_o

that_o persuade_v himself_o the_o doctrine_n now_o profess_v and_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v false_a doctrine_n and_o venomous_a to_o the_o hearer_n therefore_o no_o roman_a catholic_a may_v venture_v his_o soul_n to_o be_v infect_v therewith_o first_o sir_n such_o catholic_n as_o be_v of_o contrary_a opinion_n unto_o you_o herein_o for_o who_o sake_n you_o write_v this_o discourse_n must_v you_o suppose_v will_v deny_v one_o of_o your_o two_o proposition_n &_o find_v shift_n to_o avoid_v all_o your_o proof_n which_o will_v not_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v do_v for_o

therefore_o to_o this_o first_o argument_n or_o reason_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v vain_a and_o naught_o because_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o opinion_n fancy_n and_o one_o persuade_v of_o himself_o and_o do_v after_o his_o persuasion_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o matter_n and_o truth_n now_o these_o two_o matter_n be_v diverse_a and_o do_v differ_v much_o i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v thus_o or_o so_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n in_o deed_n be_v thus_o or_o so_o the_o reason_n why_o because_o one_o may_v be_v and_o to_o often_o be_v deceive_v in_o persuade_v himself_o of_o thing_n otherwise_o then_o they_o be_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v always_o one_o and_o 〈◊〉_d not_o according_a to_o our_o persuasion_n neither_o 〈◊〉_d thereon_o what_o if_o one_o persuade_v

or_o if_o one_o persuade_v himself_o there_o be_v a_o snake_n in_o his_o bed_n shall_v he_o not_o sleep_v near_o it_o or_o if_o your_o fellow_n persuade_v himself_o you_o go_v about_o to_o deceive_v

that_o we_o mind_n to_o do_v otherwise_o one_o persuade_v himself_o that_o every_o man_n he_o shall_v meet_v will_v kill_v he_o may_v not_o venture_v to_o go_v abroad_o about_o his_o 〈◊〉_d nor_o
