the_o gnostic_n and_o none_o else_o be_v the_o man_n speak_v of_o by_o hegesippus_n then_o be_v there_o no_o place_n for_o exception_n against_o my_o answer_n and_o if_o hegesippus_n express_v word_n may_v be_v believe_v thus_o it_o be_v and_o thus_o stand_v this_o matter_n betwixt_o i_o and_o my_o reprover_n at_o this_o time_n i_o have_v lay_v it_o before_o he_o let_v himself_o now_o if_o he_o

but_o that_o somewhat_o disguise_v till_o at_o last_o in_o the_o season_n most_o for_o their_o turn_n some_o of_o they_o put_v off_o their_o disguise_n simon_n magus_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o though_o he_o miscarry_v yet_o many_o of_o his_o follower_n afterwards_o in_o a_o more_o avow_a and_o profess_a hostility_n the_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o

what_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o frequent_o and_o more_o large_o deliver_v and_o this_o be_v exact_o the_o sense_n of_o hegesippus_n in_o that_o place_n as_o will_v yet_o more_o clear_o appear_v by_o the_o addition_n of_o some_o other_o word_n not_o yet_o recite_v and_o i_o know_v not_o why_o omit_v by_o this_o author_n in_o his_o first_o produce_v of_o they_o when_o yet_o both_o the_o

time_n and_o this_o he_o be_v please_v to_o set_v down_o as_o my_o say_n but_o have_v not_o intimate_v the_o place_n where_o i_o say_v it_o as_o easy_o he_o may_v have_v do_v and_o i_o suppose_v will_v not_o have_v neglect_v to_o do_v if_o he_o have_v know_v where_o for_o my_o part_n i_o remember_v not_o neither_o believe_v any_o such_o word_n ever_o to_o have_v past_a from_o i_o if_o he_o

in_o case_n hegesippus_n have_v not_o express_o name_v the_o gnostic_n which_o yet_o express_o he_o name_v and_o therefore_o must_v mean_v they_o if_o he_o know_v and_o consider_v what_o he_o say_v yet_o the_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o the_o atheistical_a seduction_n or_o seducer_n and_o the_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o the_o riotous_a convention_n or_o confederation_n of_o these_o must_v needs_o signify_v some_o know_a sect_n of_o heretic_n in_o that_o age_n of_o the_o church_n be_v they_o cerinthian_n

that_o all_o or_o most_o of_o these_o meet_v and_o agree_v in_o this_o common_a notion_n of_o the_o gnostic_n so_o from_o the_o poison_n and_o taint_v of_o all_o and_o each_o of_o they_o it_o be_v still_o equal_o clear_a that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o know_a governor_n and_o shepherd_n thereof_o by_o god_n grace_n and_o blessing_n preserve_v themselves_o and_o express_v their_o

on_o the_o contrary_n whosoever_o be_v discern_v to_o be_v so_o corrupt_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o by_o their_o contrary_a doctrine_n illustrious_o know_v in_o their_o writing_n
