mdcxcii_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o reader_n a_o man_n will_v think_v the_o brevity_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o small_a treatise_n which_o be_v compose_v of_o nothing_o else_o but_o testimony_n example_n and_o demonstration_n shall_v have_v save_v i_o the_o trouble_n to_o prefix_v a_o preface_n before_o it_o which_o usual_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o extract_n of_o what_o be_v most_o useful_a in_o any_o work_n it_o do_v seem_v supersluous_a in_o this_o place_n but_o because_o the_o reader_n at_o the_o first_o view_n and_o before_o he_o have_v read_v it_o quite_o over_o may_v have_v find_v some_o thing_n defective_a in_o the_o order_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o proof_n i_o have_v make_v use_n of_o i_o perceive_v myself_o oblige_v to_o render_v a_o reason_n of_o both_o in_o this_o preface_n as_o for_o the_o order_n or_o method_n it_o will_v without_o doubt_n have_v seem_v more_o natural_a to_o begin_v these_o proof_n at_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o have_v continue_v they_o by_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o nation_n and_o at_o last_o to_o have_v conclude_v with_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o learned_a in_o all_o age_n of_o christianity_n i_o have_v take_v a_o course_n quite_o contrary_a and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v determine_v nothing_o positive_o nor_o precise_o touch_v this_o matter_n but_o have_v leave_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o of_o nation_n in_o full_a force_n and_o virtue_n without_o meddle_v with_o or_o infringe_v they_o which_o i_o intend_v to_o make_v appear_v in_o refu●ing_v the_o reason_n which_o those_o of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n endeavour_v to_o draw_v from_o they_o under_o pretence_n that_o they_o every_o where_o teach_v humility_n and_o patience_n now_o every_o one_o know_v that_o the_o refute_v of_o a_o adversary_n proof_n ought_v evermore_o to_o follow_v and_o not_o to_o precede_v the_o thesis_n which_o one_o maintain_v i_o have_v also_o make_v the_o testimony_n and_o example_n to_o go_v before_o the_o argument_n as_o be_v proof_n much_o more_o obvious_a and_o more_o popular_a than_o those_o of_o mere_a speculation_n be_v very_o sure_o that_o what_o have_v be_v always_o believe_v and_o practise_v be_v general_o the_o mind_n and_o sentiment_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o not_o that_o of_o some_o particular_a person_n i_o have_v also_o have_v another_o reason_n for_o do_v this_o which_o be_v that_o find_v some_o example_n in_o ancient_a record_n run_v exact_o parallel_v with_o what_o have_v so_o late_o happen_v in_o great_a britain_n now_o a_o word_n or_o to_o do_v must_v be_v speak_v touch_v the_o nature_n and_o validity_n of_o the_o testimony_n which_o i_o have_v relate_v at_o first_o

have_v but_o a_o pique_n against_o and_o be_v but_o never_o so_o little_a discontent_n with_o the_o alteration_n that_o have_v be_v make_v in_o this_o country_n he_o will_v present_o cry_v out_o against_o such_o like_a authority_n and_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v that_o the_o reform_a shall_v make_v use_n of_o they_o his_o impatience_n be_v rather_o a_o effect_n of_o his_o

upon_o the_o council_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v first_o that_o they_o do_v not_o consist_v of_o ecclesiastical_a person_n alone_o as_o do_v those_o of_o the_o late_a age_n but_o of_o all_o the_o state_n of_o that_o nation_n wherein_o they_o be_v assemble_v and_o that_o all_o their_o determination_n and_o decision_n more_o especial_o in_o state_n affair_n derive_v all_o their_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o the_o power_n politic_a their_o decree_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v publish_v under_o the_o king_n name_n who_o almost_o ever_o assist_v at_o it_o in_o person_n together_o with_o the_o grandee_n of_o the_o state_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o council_n of_o toledo_n i_o have_v quote_v second_o although_o there_o be_v already_o a_o great_a many_o error_n and_o abuse_n in_o the_o latin_a church_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v then_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n be_v it_o make_v use_v of_o no_o other_o creed_n but_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o nicene_n as_o one_o may_v see_v in_o the_o national_a counsel_n of_o spain_n and_o especial_o in_o that_o of_o toledo_n where_o they_o rehearse_v always_o the_o nicene_n creed_n as_o the_o foundation_n and_o arbidgement_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n and_o by_o the_o way_n that_o i_o may_v speak_v my_o thought_n what_o have_v give_v the_o mortal_a blow_n to_o the_o latin_a church_n i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v the_o addition_n which_o pious_a the_o iv._o make_v of_o his_o own_o profession_n of_o faith_n to_o this_o creed_n for_o that_o very_a time_n those_o who_o have_v tender_a conscience_n or_o any_o sense_n of_o christianity_n can_v not_o digest_v their_o be_v oblige_v by_o oath_n to_o believe_v all_o those_o impious_a and_o profane_a addition_n sincere_o and_o firm_o as_o the_o fundamental_a truth_n of_o religion_n the_o 3d._a observation_n that_o we_o be_v to_o make_v be_v touch_v the_o discipline_n of_o the_o latin_a church_n which_o as_o well_o as_o its_o doctrine_n be_v not_o by_o far_o so_o much_o corrupt_v as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o age_n succeed_v although_o the_o peopes_n leo_n and_o gregory_n the_o two_o first_o of_o that_o name_n do_v very_o much_o enlarge_v the_o philactery_n of_o the_o roman_a high_a priest_n yet_o have_v they_o not_o set_v themselves_o up_o for_o sovereign_a arbitrator_n and_o umpire_n of_o divine_a and_o human_a right_n beside_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o infallibility_n have_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o enter_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n so_o that_o these_o determinaton_n and_o definitive_a sentence_n of_o the_o counsel_n be_v much_o more_o juridical_a and_o more_o suit_v with_o the_o order_n god_n have_v establish_v in_o his_o church_n and_o indeed_o deserve_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o respect_n and_o consideration_n than_o those_o of_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o last_o age_n particular_o since_o the_o first_o oecumenique_fw-la counsel_n of_o lateran_n wherein_o thing_n begin_v to_o be_v regulate_v only_o according_a to_o the_o fantasy_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o not_o according_a to_o scripture_n nor_o reason_n now_o as_o for_o the_o particular_a doctor_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n i_o have_v not_o pretend_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o rule_n to_o the_o reform_a in_o this_o matter_n but_o only_o indirect_o that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o do_v make_v appear_v by_o that_o that_o all_o christian_n have_v hold_v the_o same_o principle_n for_o one_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o reformation_n may_v have_v be_v settle_v upon_o this_o foundation_n that_o the_o power_n of_o prince_n over_o their_o subject_n be_v not_o absolute_a neither_o in_o spiritual_n or_o temporal_n there_o have_v be_v several_a people_n who_o have_v shake_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o their_o

have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o sovereign_n who_o go_v about_o to_o oppress_v they_o in_o speak_v my_o mind_n sincere_o and_o free_o as_o i_o have_v do_v of_o the_o power_n of_o sovereign_n and_o of_o
