a_o profess_a papist_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o die_v not_o a_o sound_n protestant_n in_o this_o prime_a foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n thus_o the_o knigth_n who_o as_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v by_o way_n of_o a_o glorious_a epiphonema_n go_v about_o to_o persuade_v his_o reader_n that_o all_o the_o learned_a romanist_n before_o their_o death_n renounce_v that_o article_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n justify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n can_v merit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o the_o good_a work_n he_o do_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o forsooth_o many_o for_o fear_n of_o vain_a glory_n and_o presumption_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o uncertainelie_o of_o their_o own_o work_n at_o their_o death_n do_v rely_v whole_o on_o the_o merit_n of_o their_o saviour_n whereas_o indeed_o these_o be_v two_o far_o different_a point_n of_o doctrine_n the_o first_o that_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o man_n merit_n in_o the_o sense_n declare_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n the_o second_o which_o be_v the_o confidence_n in_o merit_n be_v

about_o the_o overgreate_a confidence_n or_o presumption_n in_o they_o and_o so_o he_o that_o renounce_v the_o first_o renounce_v popery_n indeed_o but_o he_o that_o renounce_v the_o second_o do_v not_o neither_o can_v he_o be_v call_v a_o protestant_n as_o the_o knight_n will_v have_v he_o to_o be_v for_o the_o only_a denial_n of_o confidence_n in_o merit_n as_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v most_o

for_o that_o the_o question_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v general_a and_o so_o a_o general_a answer_n be_v sufficient_a but_o the_o demand_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v particular_a &_o so_o in_o reason_n it_o require_v a_o answer_n in_o particular_a for_o example_n the_o question_n be_v if_o purgatory_n be_v a_o error_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n who_o be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o it_o

in_o the_o question_n of_o the_o romanist_n there_o be_v no_o impertinency_n in_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o demand_v it_o but_o the_o knight_n answer_n be_v both_o impertinent_a in_o itself_o

to_o answer_v so_o metaphysical_o to_o their_o demand_n as_o he_o erroneous_o persuade_v himself_o but_o they_o only_o urge_v the_o reformer_n to_o name_v the_o author_n and_o time_n of_o such_o

therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v overthrow_v in_o one_o tenet_fw-la all_o certainty_n of_o true_a faith_n i_o ansere_fw-la first_o that_o although_o this_o be_v the_o form_n which_o sir_n

this_o be_v define_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n as_o a_o certain_a truth_n but_o in_o the_o minor_a there_o lie_v secret_o a_o certain_a false_a supposition_n which_o be_v this_o that_o to_o

they_o say_v there_o be_v no_o faith_n of_o any_o such_o intention_n of_o the_o minister_n in_o their_o religion_n so_o do_v we_o say_v the_o same_o of_o we_o for_o although_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n that_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v necessary_a in_o general_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o sacrament_n yet_o that_o intention_n be_v not_o
