say_v alas_o we_o be_v no_o clerk_n and_o in_o these_o division_n and_o dispute_n here_o be_v every_o one_o allege_v scripture_n for_o himself_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v or_o what_o course_n shall_v we_o take_v that_o be_v unlearned_a for_o the_o better_a help_v of_o you_o in_o this_o hazard_n first_o look_v whether_o every_o one_o allege_v scripture_n or_o no_o for_o that_o go_v for_o

teacher_n which_o for_o confirmation_n of_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n allege_v any_o other_o testimony_n over_o and_o beside_o the_o scripture_n for_o man_n writing_n be_v no_o further_o to_o be_v credit_v than_o they_o bring_v warrant_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o contain_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n touch_v our_o salvation_n if_o they_o reply_v that_o all_o be_v not_o write_v which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v answer_v they_o with_o that_o which_o be_v say_v by_o the_o apostle_n who_o require_v nothing_o beside_o the_o scripture_n to_o make_v the_o man_n of_o god_n complete_a then_o compare_v their_o unwritten_a tradition_n with_o god_n write_v truth_n the_o light_n will_v straight_o discover_v their_o darkness_n three_o if_o the_o interpretation_n be_v repugnant_a so_o as_o one_o or_o more_o of_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v erroneous_a then_o confer_v scripture_n with_o scripture_n and_o expound_v scripture_n by_o scripture_n as_o christ_n teach_v and_o last_o refer_v the_o whole_a unto_o the_o correspondency_n of_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o brief_a abridgement_n of_o christian_n religion_n and_o then_o if_o thou_o bring_v with_o thou_o a_o teachable_a mind_n and_o a_o desire_n to_o learn_v in_o humility_n thou_o shall_v not_o err_v but_o find_v christ_n in_o his_o own_o home_n that_o be_v in_o his_o word_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n suffer_v his_o church_n to_o be_v trouble_v with_o deceitful_a companion_n be_v his_o proportionable_a justice_n against_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o that_o saint_n paul_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v that_o when_o man_n have_v no_o mind_n to_o obey_v god_n and_o his_o truth_n 2.10_o 2._o thess_n 2.10_o he_o send_v they_o false_a prophet_n even_o with_o a_o efficacy_n and_o speedines_n of_o error_n the_o beguile_n of_o achab_n show_v this_o evident_o who_o be_v it_o say_v god_n that_o shall_v deceive_v achab_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o see_v that_o he_o will_v needs_o be_v draw_v unto_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n for_o the_o wretch_n be_v defile_v with_o his_o idol_n have_v pervert_v god_n service_n be_v full_a of_o all_o stubbornness_n 22.2_o 2._o king_n 22.2_o and_o malice_n against_o the_o prophet_n will_v receive_v no_o admonition_n therefore_o god_n see_v he_o a_o man_n forlorn_a send_v a_o lie_a spirit_n to_o beguile_v he_o but_o here_o mark_v one_o thing_n especial_o comfortable_a to_o god_n child_n that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v satan_n commission_n to_o execute_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o the_o unbeliever_n he_o not_o only_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o punish_v they_o with_o loss_n of_o good_n sickness_n of_o body_n etc._n etc._n but_o give_v power_n to_o lead_v they_o into_o error_n utter_o to_o deceive_v they_o and_o to_o carry_v they_o away_o with_o lie_n this_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o trial_n of_o job_n where_o satan_n his_o first_o commission_n be_v to_o touch_v his_o good_n and_o the_o second_o to_o touch_v his_o body_n but_o he_o may_v not_o meddle_v with_o his_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o stand_v both_o with_o the_o manifestation_n both_o of_o the_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o send_v deceitful_a workman_n into_o his_o church_n chapter_n 9_o eight_o reason_n unaunswerable_a prove_v all_o perfect_a papist_n rotten-hearted_a subject_n to_o all_o true_a christian_n prince_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o people_n who_o fain_o will_v that_o david_n shall_v always_o sing_v of_o mercy_n that_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o excessive_a clemency_n our_o sovereign_n may_v nourish_v a_o serpent_n in_o her_o own_o bosom_n wherefore_o although_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v handle_v heretofore_o of_o such_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n as_o tender_v the_o safety_n of_o her_o majesty_n and_o the_o flourish_a state_n of_o her_o trusty_a and_o true_a heart_a subject_n yet_o since_o the_o argument_n fit_v this_o place_n so_o well_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o lend_v my_o hand_n to_o my_o brethren_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o no_o perfect_a papist_n can_v be_v sound_a &_o faithful_a subject_n to_o their_o christian_n prince_n and_o i_o say_v perfect_a papist_n because_o that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v blemish_v or_o hold_v any_o one_o error_n or_o article_n of_o doctrine_n that_o the_o pope_n hold_v as_o perhaps_o purgatory_n or_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v in_o that_o article_n a_o papist_n yet_o i_o count_v not_o every_o one_o that_o thus_o be_v taint_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o false_a heartednes_n to_o the_o realm_n or_o under_o the_o title_n of_o traitorous_a papist_n for_o many_o otherwise_o sound_a subject_n be_v not_o purge_v from_o all_o infection_n wherewith_o the_o whorish_a church_n have_v poison_v they_o wherefore_o the_o consequent_a reason_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o perfect_a papist_n who_o heart_n since_o they_o be_v italianate_a i_o thus_o frame_v my_o first_o reason_n to_o prove_v they_o rot_v heart_a subject_n the_o first_o reason_n prove_v perfect_a papist_n traitorous_a subject_n to_o christian_a prince_n all_o good_a subject_n which_o obey_v for_o conscience_n as_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o do_v must_v have_v their_o conscience_n enfome_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o perfect_a papist_n hate_v our_o assembly_n despise_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n which_o shall_v direct_v their_o conscience_n both_o in_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o loyalty_n towards_o their_o prince_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o entertain_v a_o strange_a worship_n therefore_o perfect_a papist_n can_v be_v sound_a heart_a subject_n i_o have_v hear_v wise_a man_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o knot_n of_o thief_n so_o dangerous_a as_o when_o there_o be_v
