After the untimely death of the penman of the foresaid platforme. & his fellow prisoner; who being constant witnesses in points apperteyning to the true worship of God, and right government of his Church, sealed up their testimony with their bloud: and paciently suffred the stopping of their breath, for their love to the Lord.

as_o be_v rude_a unreverent_a malepert_a and_o too_o too_o presumptuous_a sit_v upon_o their_o seat_n as_o if_o they_o be_v christ_n comrade_n whereas_o for_o more_o reverence_n they_o ought_v to_o

shall_v i_o need_v to_o say_v more_o but_o this_o that_o ●ee_n must_v in_o all_o thing_n look_v unto_o the_o first_o institution_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o also_o do_v when_o man_n speak_v unto_o he_o of_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o moses_n for_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n suffer_v it_o but_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n to_o such_o as_o plead_v for_o kneel_v at_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o may_v answer_v that_o for_o want_v of_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o truth_n it_o have_v please_v he_o to_o give_v they_o over_o to_o hardness_n of_o heart_n &_o strong_a delusion_n and_o as_o the_o papist_n those_o gross_a idolater_n receive_v the_o sign_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n to_o wit_n bread_n and_o wine_n think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n itself_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o sense_n they_o do_v for_o more_o reverence_n to_o it_o kneel_v before_o it_o and_o worship_v it_o as_o their_o god_n and_o maker_n even_o so_o our_o formal_a protestant_n at_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v likewise_o kneel_v imitate_v therein_o those_o idolater_n and_o so_o nourish_v that_o popish_a error_n of_o error_n but_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o at_o the_o first_o institution_n it_o be_v receive_v as_o they_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n but_o we_o can_v no_o where_o find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o ever_o they_o receive_v it_o kneel_v or_o that_o ever_o true_a christian_n believe_v those_o holy_a sign_n be_v transubstantiate_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o papist_n false_o teach_v

therefore_o as_o well_o that_o opinion_n as_o their_o and_o the_o protestant_n practice_n be_v high_o sinful_a and_o for_o ever_o ought_v to_o be_v shun_v both_o because_o god_n never_o require_v such_o a_o belief_n nor_o appoint_v such_o a_o gesture_n in_o the_o act_n of_o communion_n as_o they_o have_v take_v up_o to_o themselves_o from_o the_o brain_n of_o man_n mere_a invention_n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o take_v heed_n what_o example_n we_o follow_v dinah_n the_o daughter_n of_o jakob_n go_v forth_o to_o see_v the_o daughter_n of_o the_o country_n where_o they_o come_v be_v defile_v bodily_a but_o some_o of_o our_o protestant_n look_v forth_o to_o see_v after_o what_o fashion_n the_o papist_n serve_v god_n before_o they_o have_v be_v defile_v spiritual_o whereas_o they_o shall_v have_v remember_v and_o observe_v that_o which_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n in_o levit._n 18.3.4_o and_o command_v israel_n of_o old_a say_v after_o the_o do_n of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n wherein_o you_o dwell_v shall_v you_o not_o do_v and_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n whither_o i_o will_v bring_v you_o shall_v you_o not_o do_v neither_o walk_n in_o their_o

prevent_v infinite_a error_n and_o other_o abomination_n but_o how_o do_v you_o manifest_v that_o the_o papist_n do_v worship_n the_o sign_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n as_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n itself_o and_o that_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o sense_n as_o you_o say_v for_o if_o that_o be_v true_a they_o be_v most_o vile_a idolater_n indeed_o miles_n so_o they_o be_v for_o when_o they_o receive_v the_o bread_n they_o see_v it_o feel_v it_o smell_v it_o and_o taste_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n yet_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o heart_n &_o say_v with_o the_o mouth_n that_o it_o be_v body_n even_o the_o same_o that_o be_v crucify_v on_o the_o cross_n quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o sense_n of_o see_v feel_a smell_a and_o taste_v as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o that_o bread_n which_o their_o own_o sense_n tell_v they_o be_v no_o other_o creature_n but_o bread_n do_v they_o adore_v and_o worship_v as_o the_o creator_n as_o god_n &_o as_o christ._n and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n believe_v they_o the_o wine_n to_o be_v the_o very_a blood_n of_o god_n christ_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o church_n which_o horrible_a idolatry_n of_o they_o be_v as_o gross_a as_o to_o worship_n &_o believe_v in_o a_o melt_a or_o carve_v image_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o both_o these_o sort_n of_o idolatry_n be_v not_o only_o against_o the_o second_o commandment_n but_o also_o against_o the_o first_o thus_o may_v you_o perceive_v that_o the_o papist_n be_v delude_v with_o a_o lie_n extraordinary_a beleve_v the_o lie_a miracle_n of_o transubstantiation_n whereas_o in_o all_o true_a miracle_n wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n never_o any_o be_v teach_v to_o believe_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o sight_n and_o their_o other_o sense_n but_o these_o seduce_a soul_n be_v miserable_o mislead_v that_o way_n and_o why_o even_o because_o their_o lie_a prophet_n do_v so_o believe_v and_o teach_v but_o be_v it_o not_o as_o strange_a that_o they_o will_v have_v so_o many_o christ_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n for_o after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v use_v those_o sign_n be_v transubstantiate_v into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o their_o opinion_n &_o become_v the_o whole_a christ_n so_o that_o if_o they_o do_v the_o like_a in_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o place_n at_o once_o they_o have_v then_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v they_o so_o many_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v all_o eat_v up_o in_o one_o day_n yet_o they_o can_v make_v as_o many_o
