pleasure_n to_o compel_v any_o woman_n to_o be_v church_v chancellor_n well_o we_o will_v talk_v of_o that_o another_o time_n but_o i_o will_v to_o god_n you_o foolish_a woman_n will_v meddle_v with_o that_o which_o belong_v unto_o you_o and_o which_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o your_o own_o element_n and_o not_o take_v upon_o you_o the_o decision_n and_o interpretation_n of_o the_o law_n which_o you_o understand_v not_o but_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o one_o thing_n what_o if_o the_o church_n now_o will_v institute_v and_o ordain_v a_o solemn_a purify_n of_o woman_n will_v you_o not_o be_v purify_v woman_n no_o indeed_o will_v i_o not_o for_o if_o i_o shall_v i_o shall_v then_o either_o with_o the_o jew_n deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o give_v a_o end_n to_o those_o shadow_n which_o be_v figure_n of_o the_o purify_n and_o wash_v away_o of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o blood_n or_o else_o with_o the_o papist_n i_o must_v deny_v the_o bloudshead_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_a and_o alone_a sufficient_a purgation_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o supply_n and_o be_v fart_n she_o holpen_v by_o some_o church_n ceremony_n or_o outward_a form_n of_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o some_o shaveling_n or_o priest_n chancellor_n yea_o but_o see_v now_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o you_o be_v deceyve_v in_o the_o heat_n of_o your_o zeal_n look_v in_o the_o book_n there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n of_o purify_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o but_o only_o of_o thanksgiving_n woman_n trust_v i_o you_o say_v true_a i_o have_v almost_o forget_v that_o it_o speak_v not_o a_o word_n indeed_o of_o purify_n but_o what_o a_o juggle_a &_o blear_a of_o th'eis_n of_o the_o simple_a be_v this_o among_o you_o may_v we_o not_o herein_o say_v of_o you_o &_o your_o fellow_n that_o you_o be_v the_o most_o perilous_a instrument_n and_o dangerous_a impostor_n that_o ever_o satan_n raise_v up_o for_o the_o advancement_n and_o restore_v again_o of_o popery_n chancellor_n why_o so_o i_o pray_v you_o my_o good_a kinswoman_n what_o need_v all_o this_o heat_n among_o friend_n you_o imagine_v belike_o you_o be_v among_o your_o scold_a dame_n and_o prattle_a huswife_n at_o home_n woman_n no_o good_a master_n chancellor_n i_o know_v i_o thank_v god_n where_o i_o be_o neither_o be_o i_o any_o whit_n distemper_v at_o all_o but_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v i_o may_v true_o and_o lawful_o say_v again_o in_o which_o regard_n well_o fare_v the_o papist_n say_v i_o for_o they_o shall_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o you_o who_o like_o good_a fellow_n yet_o in_o plain_n and_o open_a term_n even_o bear_v face_v as_o it_o be_v do_v seek_v to_o seduce_v we_o and_o to_o draw_v we_o to_o their_o false_a and_o idolatrous_a worship_n and_o service_n in_o popery_n as_o namely_o by_o their_o mass_n matin_n ensong_n purification_n and_o other_o such_o like_a whereas_o you_o much_o more_o dangerous_o and_o even_o under_o a_o mask_n or_o vizard_n as_o it_o be_v and_o not_o unlike_a to_o he_o that_o transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n do_v go_v about_o to_o draw_v and_o allure_v we_o to_o the_o self_n same_o false_a worship_n &_o service_n but_o by_o cleanly_a name_n and_o honest_a title_n as_o to_o their_o purification_n by_o the_o title_n and_o name_n of_o thanksgiving_n that_o be_v to_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n that_o shall_v be_v abolish_v under_o the_o pretence_n &_o colour_n of_o a_o service_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v be_v continue_v chancellor_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o cousin_n puritan_n be_v there_o no_o difference_n betwixt_o that_o in_o popery_n and_o we_o woman_n the_o difference_n as_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v by_o learned_a man_n be_v only_o in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v in_o latin_a &_o you_o in_o englissh_n otherwise_o your_o proper_a thanksgiving_n which_o you_o call_v church_a be_v even_o the_o very_a same_o word_n for_o word_n except_v only_o the_o title_n wherein_o as_o i_o say_v you_o juggle_v and_o walk_v a_o little_a more_o covert_o than_o they_o with_o their_o purification_n in_o popery_n and_o can_v the_o change_n of_o a_o name_n or_o title_n alter_v the_o thing_n itself_o or_o make_v it_o of_o another_o nature_n if_o you_o have_v that_o gift_n and_o power_n among_o you_o than_o you_o may_v as_o well_o bring_v we_o in_o the_o mass_n under_o the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o a_o communion_n and_o so_o he_o that_o refuse_v to_o go_v to_o mass_n you_o may_v serve_v he_o with_o a_o citation_n for_o not_o come_v to_o the_o communion_n as_o in_o the_o like_a case_n you_o do_v now_o by_o we_o you_o trouble_v we_o and_o call_v we_o in_o question_n for_o deny_v of_o thanksgiving_n because_o we_o refuse_v to_o be_v purify_v chancellor_n in_o good_a faith_n it_o be_v more_o they_o i_o have_v consider_v of_o whether_o that_o in_o popery_n be_v so_o near_o agree_v to_o we_o as_o you_o speak_v of_o i_o believe_v your_o leader_n have_v misinform_v you_o but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v and_o howsoever_o the_o papist_n do_v hold_v and_o account_v of_o it_o it_o make_v no_o great_a matter_n the_o church_n you_o see_v now_o hold_v it_o for_o no_o other_o than_o a_o mere_a thanksgiving_n which_o be_v very_a deeent_n and_o requisite_a for_o every_o woman_n after_o so_o great_a deliverance_n woman_n what_o if_o the_o church_n shall_v hold_v our_o lady_n psalter_n to_o be_v david_n psalter_n or_o t'h_o aue_fw-la marie_n for_o a_o prayer_n shall_v i_o therefore_o take_v and_o use_v the_o one_o for_o david_n psalter_n and_o the_o other_o for_o a_o prayer_n i_o know_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v thank_v for_o all_o his_o mercy_n much_o more_o for_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n as_o childbirth_n be_v but_o as_o we_o be_v to_o give_v god_n thanks_n and_o be_v thereunto_o tie_v and_o bind_v in_o duty_n and_o allegiance_n so_o be_v we_o still_o to_o do_v the_o same_o according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o he_o that_o command_v and_o after_o the_o square_a and_o rule_v of_o his_o ordinance_n and_o not_o after_o the_o precept_n fancy_n and_o invention_n of_o man_n especial_o after_o the_o prescription_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a papist_n chancellor_n but_o in_o faith_n do_v you_o not_o think_v it_o a_o decent_a thing_n that_o after_o so_o great_a a_o escape_n and_o for_o the_o birth_n of_o a_o babe_n into_o the_o world_n there_o shall_v be_v thanksgiving_n or_o will_v you_o have_v no_o differeuce_n betwixt_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o beast_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v leave_v indifferent_a to_o unrulie_a man_n to_o accompany_v with_o their_o wife_n at_o their_o pleasure_n without_o regard_n of_o their_o weakness_n and_o uncleanness_n woman_n you_o ask_v i_o wonderful_a strange_a thing_n first_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o decent_a thing_n upon_o such_o a_o deliverance_n and_o the_o birth_n of_o a_o babe_n into_o the_o world_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v thankefgiving_n secondlie_o whether_o it_o shall_v be_v leave_v indifferent_a for_o man_n to_o play_v the_o beast_n with_o their_o wife_n unto_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o manner_n of_o church_a that_o you_o thus_o trouble_v we_o for_o do_v not_o redress_v any_o of_o these_o inconvenience_n there_o be_v in_o it_o in_o truth_n no_o manner_n of_o thanksgiving_n at_o all_o but_o only_o a_o speech_n or_o superscription_n of_o a_o thanksgiving_n socondlie_o whereas_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o touch_v a_o woman_n in_o the_o time_n of_o her_o separation_n and_o uncleanness_n shall_v be_v death_n what_o punishment_n have_v you_o provide_v for_o this_o so_o great_a and_o heinous_a enormity_n or_o how_o do_v your_o church_a of_o woman_n restrain_v a_o carnal_a and_o licentious_a appetite_n from_o execute_v his_o villainous_a and_o beastly_a desire_n have_v he_o not_o his_o full_a swinge_n and_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o he_o lift_v for_o all_o that_o so_o that_o you_o complain_v of_o danger_n disorder_n &_o inconvenience_n and_o yet_o leave_v they_o still_o as_o you_o find_v they_o without_o cure_n or_o redress_v never_o care_v for_o any_o thing_n so_o your_o idle_a ceremony_n may_v be_v keep_v chancellor_n a_o man_n may_v easy_o smell_v gentle_a cousin_n where_o you_o have_v be_v at_o school_n yet_o i_o have_v talk_v in_o my_o day_n with_o some_o of_o your_o own_o crew_n and_o they_o hau_o cheld_v it_o for_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a at_o the_o least_o and_o have_v not_o be_v half_o so_o hot_a in_o it_o as_o you_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o love_n i_o bear_v you_o i_o will_v wish_v you_o to_o have_v some_o regard_n of_o modesty_n and_o womanhood_n for_o yea_o faith_n when_o

be_v a_o thanksgiving_n in_o deed_n that_o be_v such_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o he_o have_v command_v and_o prescribe_v in_o his_o word_n if_o i_o shall_v wilful_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o i_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v a_o member_n of_o his_o church_n chancellor_n yet_o still_o i_o think_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o poise_v and_o prevail_v with_o you_o as_o it_o shall_v do_v woman_n here_o be_v a_o do_v with_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o when_o you_o have_v all_o do_v a_o man_n may_v easy_o see_v that_o though_o you_o talk_v of_o it_o never_o so_o much_o you_o use_v it_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o as_o a_o stalking_a horse_n among_o you_o chancellor_n what_o mean_v you_o by_o that_o why_o you_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o the_o staulkinge_a horse_n be_v not_o to_o blame_v for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o foul_a he_o do_v but_o only_a shadow_n and_o stand_v before_o the_o foul_a while_o he_o kill_v he_o even_o so_o do_v you_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n as_o you_o handle_v it_o be_v a_o notable_a veil_n to_o shadow_v all_o your_o deformity_n and_o corruption_n if_o a_o good_a minister_n do_v not_o yield_v to_o your_o lawless_a and_o unconscionable_a subscription_n or_o if_o he_o over_o skip_v the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n ring_n in_o marriage_n or_o any_o such_o needle_n ceremony_n then_o straight_o you_o choke_v he_o with_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o you_o do_v now_o by_o we_o for_o our_o refusal_n of_o kneel_v and_o church_a chancellor_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o in_o good_a earnest_n why_o may_v not_o these_o and_o more_o than_o these_o be_v endure_v and_o yield_v unto_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n woman_n if_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n be_v so_o dear_a unto_o you_o as_o you_o pretend_v and_o make_v show_v of_o then_o will_v you_o never_o for_o shame_n trouble_v either_o minister_n or_o people_n for_o such_o odd_a thing_n as_o those_o that_o rather_o hinder_v then_o further_a man_n in_o religion_n but_o your_o manner_n be_v when_o you_o speak_v of_o one_o thing_n to_o mean_v another_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n but_o you_o mean_v still_o the_o peace_n of_o your_o hierarchy_n the_o peace_n of_o your_o unrulie_a place_n and_o office_n the_o peace_n of_o all_o your_o popish_a &_o beggarly_a ceremony_n so_o they_o may_v stand_v still_o untouched_a if_o you_o chauncelyer_n and_o your_o official_o may_v be_v at_o quiet_a in_o your_o room_n and_o jurisdiction_n little_o the_o

never_o so_o shameful_a chancellor_n o_o my_o good_a kinswoman_n we_o have_v hear_v enough_o of_o these_o matter_n long_o ago_o these_o suppose_a quarrel_n have_v be_v answer_v and_o answer_v again_o you_o come_v to_o late_o yea_o faith_n with_o your_o baskett_n of_o apple_n now_o what_o a_o devil_n shall_v you_o meddle_v with_o any_o of_o these_o matter_n it_o be_v much_o fit_a for_o such_o as_o you_o be_v to_o meddle_v with_o your_o spindle_n and_o your_o wheel_n and_o sober_o to_o attend_v your_o trade_n &_o vocation_n than_o thus_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o your_o heart_n to_o control_v

have_v not_o you_o summon_v i_o thence_o by_o your_o officer_n i_o know_v right_a well_o church_n cause_n belong_v not_o to_o such_o as_o i_o be_o to_o deal_v in_o neither_o do_v i_o meddle_v withal_o far_o than_o by_o way_n of_o suit_n or_o complaint_n to_o those_o that_o have_v authority_n to_o redress_v and_o if_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n can_v not_o move_v you_o to_o leave_v cite_v &_o

faith_n i_o perceive_v i_o shall_v do_v no_o good_a of_o you_o woman_n i_o tell_v you_o you_o may_v easy_o do_v good_a of_o i_o and_o easy_o draw_v i_o to_o the_o bent_n of_o your_o bow_n if_o you_o can_v produce_v and_o allege_v unto_o i_o but_o one_o only_a sentence_n and_o proof_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n chancellor_n scripture_n there_o be_v nothing_o with_o you_o but_o scripture_n no_o no._n it_o be_v even_o the_o pride_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o peevish_a singularity_n of_o your_o own_o conceit_n that_o do_v thus_o draw_v you_o why_o do_v you_o think_v no_o body_n see_v any_o thing_n but_o yourself_o or_o do_v you_o think_v there_o be_v not_o as_o sober_a &_o as_o honest_a woman_n as_o you_o church_v woman_n then_o i_o perceyve_v you_o have_v no_o scripture_n in_o the_o world_n to_o persuade_v i_o with_o your_o only_a scripture_n be_v the_o pride_n of_o my_o heart_n the_o singularity_n of_o my_o conceit_n and_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o but_o you_o ask_v i_o whether_o as_o honest_a woman_n as_o i_o be_v not_o churehed_n i_o ask_v you_o again_o whether_o as_o honest_a man_n as_o you_o have_v not_o deny_v christ_n th'example_n of_o the_o godly_a you_o know_v be_v not_o to_o be_v follow_v but_o in_o godliness_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o common_a guise_n of_o you_o and_o your_o generation_n to_o make_v a_o solemn_a gather_n and_o call_v as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o scab_n imperfection_n and_o bleamish_v of_o the_o best_a man_n and_o then_o to_o lay_v they_o in_o our_o dish_n straight_o as_o a_o choke-pear_n to_o we_o as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o find_v once_o that_o father_n latimer_n and_o ridley_n or_o any_o such_o like_a reverend_a man_n do_v wear_v square_a cap_n and_o surplus_n why_o then_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o this_o must_v be_v proclaim_v straight_o as_o a_o authentical_a warrant_n to_o all_o the_o succeed_a minister_n of_o the_o land_n that_o they_o may_v bold_o and_o safe_o yield_v to_o the_o wear_n of_o the_o like_a attire_n chancellor_n and_o i_o promise_v you_o it_o be_v something_o i_o tell_v you_o as_o light_v as_o you_o make_v of_o it_o why_o be_v the_o example_n of_o the_o godly_a martyr_n nothing_o with_o you_o and_o your_o precise_a brotherhood_n woman_n yes_o it_o be_v something_o but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o shall_v weigh_v more_o with_o we_o than_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n david_n or_o peter_n who_o step_n you_o know_v we_o must_v not_o follow_v when_o they_o slip_v or_o go_v awry_o but_o will_v you_o yourselves_o i_o pray_v you_o if_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v it_o stand_v to_o the_o judgement_n and_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o godly_a martyr_n chancellor_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o woman_n why_o then_o down_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n straight_o your_o lawless_a oath_n of_o inquisition_n wherewith_o you_o so_o plague_v the_o church_n now_o a_o day_n judge_n by_o mai._n tindall_n else_o mai._n lambart_n and_o other_o that_o suffer_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n truth_n chancellor_n indeed_o ma._n tindall_n and_o ma._n lambart_n be_v somewhat_o wilful_a woman_n just_o how_o else_o thus_o you_o

their_o piety_n and_o their_o patience_n be_v lay_v before_o we_o in_o great_a and_o capital_a letter_n as_o pattern_n to_o follow_v but_o when_o they_o cross_v you_o in_o any_o thing_n be_v the_o

mr_n lambart_n and_o mr_n tindall_n chancellor_n but_o to_o leave_v these_o circumstance_n and_o by_o matter_n do_v you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v church_v speak_v your_o conscience_n woman_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o make_v show_n of_o thanksgiving_n and_o yet_o to_o give_v no_o thanks_n
