to_o peter_n great_a commission_n but_o also_o unto_o this_o we_o do_v reply_n she_o do_v not_o he_o succeed_v the_o reason_n why_o be_v very_o clear_a exceed_o plain_a that_o she_o a_o successor_n of_o peter_n can_v be_v because_o that_o none_o but_o those_o of_o peter_n faith_n can_v he_o succeed_v or_o that_o from_o peter_n have_v receive_v commission_n or_o authority_n to_o be_v a_o bishop_n or_o to_o use_v thereby_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n to_o rule_v or_o take_v the_o care_n of_o people_n soul_n such_o man_n must_v make_v no_o spare_a of_o pain_n nor_o labour_n neither_o shall_v they_o please_v themselves_o nor_o live_v in_o pleasure_n nor_o at_o ease_n nor_o pomp_n and_o state_n nor_o have_v thing_n as_o they_o will_v but_o must_v deny_v themselves_o if_o they_o will_v fulfil_v their_o ministry_n with_o joy_n which_o they_o receive_v of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o they_o have_v believe_v and_o ready_o be_v to_o offer_v up_o their_o all_o for_o he_o and_o for_o his_o flock_n if_o god_n shall_v call_v they_o forth_o to_o such_o a_o service_n and_o a_o work_n they_o to_o defend_v against_o the_o pope_n or_o turk_n defend_v i_o say_v by_o sound_n and_o

their_o great_a profaneness_n and_o their_o filthy_a pride_n idolatry_n and_o cruelty_n beside_o but_o as_o i_o say_v succession_n no_o man_n have_v but_o such_o as_o follow_v christ_n and_o keep_v the_o faith_n that_o precious_a faith_n which_o peter_n have_v and_o none_o but_o that_o which_o christ_n do_v build_v his_o church_n upon_o for_o those_o that_o do_v succeed_v in_o that_o true_a faith_n they_o and_o no_o other_o true_a succession_n have_v which_o all_o impartial_a man_n may_v clear_o see_v by_o what_o paul_n write_v unto_o timothy_n this_o charge_n he_o give_v to_o timothy_n that_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o timothy_n have_v hear_v of_o paul_n among_o those_o many_o witness_n that_o he_o do_v faith_n and_o truth_n confirm_v to_o timothy_n the_o same_o he_o do_v receive_v he_o must_v commit_v to_o faithful_a man_n for_o so_o paul_n think_v it_o fit_a and_o not_o to_o man_n that_o have_v not_o faith_n nor_o such_o that_o err_v from_o the_o faith_n or_o think_v it_o much_o to_o feed_v the_o flock_n except_o they_o have_v the_o wool_n and_o will_v make_v war_n except_o their_o mouth_n be_v full_a but_o unto_o such_o who_o life_n be_v commendable_a and_o who_o to_o teach_v the_o truth_n be_v very_o able_a that_o they_o likewise_o to_o other_o faithful_a man_n shall_v give_v the_o selfsame_a charge_n as_o paul_n do_v then_o that_o down_o along_o none_o shall_v succeed_v but_o he_o that_o keep_v the_o faith_n from_o time_n to_o time_n you_o see_v from_o what_o be_v say_v it_o do_v appear_v so_o plain_a that_o there_o do_v no_o succession_n now_o remain_v in_o rome_n because_o rome_n now_o have_v wrack_v and_o lose_v the_o faith_n of_o peter_n whereof_o she_o do_v boast_v for_o she_o that_o faith_n have_v often_o stigmatise_v with_o such_o defame_n and_o have_v apostatise_v that_o long_o ago_o she_o her_o succession_n lose_v and_o christ_n withal_o she_o change_v he_o for_o the_o host_n which_o now_o she_o do_v adore_v and_o fall_v down_o to_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o give_v the_o whore_n her_o due_a if_o any_o one_o there_o be_v she_o do_v succeed_v it_o be_v the_o serpent_n for_o she_o do_v proceed_v so_o full_o in_o his_o way_n and_o
