bradford_n the_o quaker_n exception_n to_o this_o argument_n pag._n 305._o be_v as_o frivolous_a as_o can_v be_v for_o first_o all_o truth_n be_v not_o say_v he_o discover_v at_o once_o nor_o all_o

in_o christ_n by_o the_o anoint_v know_v all_o thing_n yea_o if_o the_o saint_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n in_o they_o so_o as_o to_o teach_v they_o all_o thing_n they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n at_o all_o p._n 230._o what_o then_o do_v t._n e._n make_v of_o these_o martyr_n not_o so_o much_o as_o little_a child_n be_v they_o whole_o without_o the_o spirit_n or_o be_v they_o teach_v mediate_o since_o mediate_v and_o carnal_a knowledge_n as_o he_o call_v it_o come_v by_o degree_n but_o all_o that_o t._n e._n allow_v for_o saint_n get_v their_o knowledge_n in_o a_o instant_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v either_o therefore_o he_o must_v deny_v these_o holy_a man_n be_v teach_v immediate_o and_o then_o by_o his_o rule_n they_o can_v have_v no_o knowledge_n in_o divine_a thing_n or_o else_o he_o must_v confess_v truth_n be_v not_o reveal_v to_o they_o by_o degree_n we_o add_v that_o the_o quaker_n think_v bradford_n a_o very_a spiritual_a and_o know_a man_n with_o some_o other_o of_o that_o time_n when_o he_o fancy_v he_o speak_v on_o his_o side_n p._n 275._o but_o now_o when_o he_o speak_v against_o he_o he_o reject_v his_o testimony_n on_o pretence_n that_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o fellow-martyr_n live_v at_o the_o very_a dawn_n of_o the_o day_n of_o reformation_n very_o pleasant_a let_v i_o then_o ask_v the_o quaker_n what_o hour_n of_o the_o morning_n it_o be_v when_o his_o other_o martyr_n as_o he_o false_o call_v they_o thorp_n swinderby_n brute_n and_o wickliff_n live_v if_o it_o be_v but_o daybreak_n in_o cranmer_n time_n it_o be_v dark_a as_o midnight_n in_o wickliffe_n if_o cranmer_n and_o bradford_n have_v but_o little_a light_n wickliff_n and_o thorp_n have_v none_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o unless_o they_o have_v cats-eye_n they_o can_v not_o see_v they_o so_o that_o it_o be_v wonder_n t._n e._n shall_v prefer_v their_o judgement_n before_o these_o but_o further_a if_o to_o reject_v tithe_n have_v be_v a_o truth_n it_o be_v discover_v according_a to_o t._n e._n long_o before_o cranmer_n time_n and_o he_o with_o his_o associate_n who_o live_v near_a sun-rise_n and_o so_o can_v see_v better_a than_o thorpe_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o this_o opinion_n but_o esteem_v it_o erroneous_a and_o though_o they_o follow_v wickliff_n in_o some_o thing_n yet_o in_o this_o they_o recede_v from_o he_o so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v they_o see_v not_o this_o opinion_n but_o see_v it_o they_o reject_v it_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a their_o judgement_n herein_o be_v far_o more_o considerable_a than_o wickliffe_n or_o his_o follower_n be_v both_o better_a man_n and_o of_o far_o great_a understanding_n for_o these_o martyr_n be_v constant_a to_o the_o death_n and_o seal_v our_o faith_n with_o their_o blood_n whereas_o most_o of_o those_o opposer_n of_o tithe_n recant_v open_o and_o prove_v apostate_n as_o mr._n fox_n himself_o confess_v so_o that_o the_o quaker_n be_v a_o manifest_a liar_n in_o give_v such_o renegado_n the_o name_n of_o martyr_n and_o as_o for_o wickliff_n himself_o he_o himself_o receive_v tithe_n and_o die_v quiet_o parson_n of_o lutterworth_n in_o leicestershire_n and_o so_o be_v no_o martyr_n nor_o do_v he_o absolute_o reject_v tithe_n as_o t._n e._n do_v but_o only_o affirm_v they_o be_v purae_fw-la eleemosynae_fw-la 2._o eleemosynae_fw-la vide_fw-la spelm._n conc._n

his_o quaker_n who_o real_o know_v nothing_o and_o yet_o fancy_n they_o be_v as_o much_o above_o cranmer_n hooper_n etc._n etc._n in_o point_n of_o knowledge_n as_o the_o noonday_n light_n be_v above_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n but_o if_o the_o quaker_n be_v above_o they_o in_o knowledge_n be_v they_o also_o above_o all_o our_o protestant_a king_n bishop_n lawyer_n parliament_n
