before_o he_o have_v miserable_o fail_v of_o carry_v on_o the_o succession_n of_o true_a doctrine_n now_o i_o will_v be_v content_a in_o this_o matter_n to_o make_v you_o the_o judge_n that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o lawful_a pastor_n who_o want_v succession_n of_o doctrine_n whether_o the_o unlawful_a one_o be_v those_o who_o break_v the_o succession_n of_o it_o at_o first_o or_o those_o that_o

instead_o of_o it_o for_o i_o think_v that_o order_n and_o regularity_n of_o episcopal_a succession_n will_v suffice_v to_o make_v they_o lawful_a bishop_n who_o for_o corrupt_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v not_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v good_a one_o i_o have_v one_o word_n more_o to_o say_v and_o then_o you_o shall_v speak_v you_o have_v hear_v i_o perceive_v from_o some_o of_o your_o friend_n that_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n for_o nine_o age_n before_o cranmer_n be_v roman_a chtholicks_n now_o their_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o the_o archbishop_n of_o

though_o you_o know_v not_o these_o matter_n and_o it_o may_v be_v not_o they_o neither_o yet_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o very_o many_o of_o your_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v not_o only_o

the_o corrupt_a doctrine_n of_o your_o church_n be_v of_o a_o much_o late_a date_n than_o for_o you_o to_o talk_v as_o you_o do_v of_o nine_o age_n before_o cranmer_n sect._n 16_o quer._n whether_o

like_a for_o these_o can_v hardly_o be_v say_v to_o be_v lawful_a pastor_n make_v your_o query_n plain_a and_o i_o have_v a_o plain_a answer_n for_o you_o which_o perhaps_o you_o little_o think_v of_o

oppose_v to_o the_o error_n and_o innovation_n which_o your_o church_n hold_v for_o article_n of_o faith._n now_o as_o to_o these_o doctrine_n we_o do_v not_o esteem_v they_o in_o the_o same_o rank_n with_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n because_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n necessary_a to_o be_v propound_v to_o all_o in_o order_n to_o their_o salvation_n but_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v teach_v the_o faithful_a in_o these_o part_n of_o christendom_n to_o secure_v they_o from_o the_o contagion_n of_o those_o error_n you_o have_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n for_o instance_n if_o you_o have_v not_o set_v up_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o of_o a_o determination_n of_o this_o church_n against_o it_o nor_o have_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o instruct_v our_o people_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o to_o be_v pray_v unto_o have_v not_o your_o church_n invent_v the_o article_n of_o transubstantiation_n we_o have_v not_o oppose_v a_o contrary_a article_n to_o it_o now_o as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a article_n of_o our_o church_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o necessary_a but_o only_o profitable_a but_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o teach_v it_o because_o as_o you_o have_v order_v matter_n to_o be_v ignorant_a thereof_o be_v very_o dangerous_a the_o contrary_a error_n be_v damnable_a for_o you_o be_v strange_o mistake_v if_o you_o think_v that_o no_o error_n be_v damnable_a but_o the_o direct_a denial_n of_o some_o truth_n which_o be_v always_o necessary_a to_o be_v propound_v to_o all_o that_o be_v of_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n strict_o and_o proper_o so_o call_v and_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o the_o best_a divine_n of_o your_o own_o church_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n there_o be_v therefore_o no_o room_n leave_v for_o your_o second_o supposition_n that_o if_o they_o be_v article_n

with_o no_o better_a colour_n for_o it_o you_o will_v draw_v we_o in_o to_o be_v suspect_v of_o that_o which_o yourselves_o be_v so_o notorious_o guilty_a of_o i._n e._n of_o make_v new_a article_n

doctrine_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o faithful_a uncorrupted_a with_o false_a doctrine_n if_o you_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o say_v so_o i_o must_v then_o ask_v you_o whether_o ten_o thousand_o

have_v a_o question_n to_o offer_v you_o which_o will_v go_v near_o to_o spoil_v your_o query_n and_o this_o it_o be_v if_o you_o will_v needs_o call_v our_o article_n addition_n to_o the_o common_a

and_o as_o the_o case_n may_v be_v necessary_a truth_n to_o it_o sect._n 18_o quer._n whether_o the_o reform_a religion_n may_v not_o be_v divide_v and_o subdivide_v into_o endless_a reformation_n
