deny_v of_o the_o read_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o people_n and_o other_o and_o will_v you_o yet_o brag_v of_o the_o antiquity_n of_o your_o religion_n 3._o these_o doctrine_n wherein_o we_o

prejudices_fw-la shall_v read_v what_o our_o jewel_n and_o morton_n and_o field_n and_o other_o have_v write_v how_o then_o can_v you_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o charge_v we_o with_o novelty_n pop._n your_o church_n be_v new_a in_o this_o respect_n that_o although_o some_o other_o before_o you_o may_v own_v some_o of_o your_o doctrine_n there_o be_v no_o church_n that_o own_v all_o your_o

it_o do_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o your_o church_n be_v new_a also_o for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o the_o catholic_n church_n nay_o even_o your_o own_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o ancient_o in_o former_a age_n hold_v all_o these_o doctrine_n which_o now_o she_o own_v as_o your_o own_o great_a author_n confess_v this_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o most_o former_a age_n have_v own_v all_o our_o substantial_a doctrine_n but_o what_o have_v you_o further_a to_o say_v pop._n it_o be_v sufficient_a against_o you_o that_o your_o

sufficient_a cause_n for_o it_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n after_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o orthodox_n separate_v from_o the_o arrian_n church_n and_o all_o communion_n with_o they_o yet_o none_o ever_o charge_v they_o with_o schism_n prot._n since_o you_o mention_v that_o instance_n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o why_o they_o separate_v from_o

church_n do_v hold_v any_o heresy_n and_o require_v all_o her_o member_n to_o own_v it_o too_o it_o be_v no_o schism_n for_o we_o to_o separate_v from_o you_o pop._n that_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o slander_n of_o you_o for_o our_o church_n hold_v no_o such_o heresy_n prot._n your_o church_n do_v not_o hold_v one_o but_o many_o dangerous_a error_n and_o heresy_n as_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v to_o manifest_v ere_o you_o and_o i_o part_v and_o if_o you_o please_v we_o will_v leave_v the_o present_a argumeut_n to_o this_o issue_n if_o i_o do_v not_o prove_v your_o

you_o speak_v reason_n let_v it_o rest_v there_o prot._n beside_o methinks_v you_o deal_v barbarous_o with_o we_o you_o drive_v we_o out_o from_o you_o by_o your_o tyranny_n and_o then_o you_o blame_v we_o for_o depart_v as_o if_o sarah_n have_v call_v hagar_n a_o schismatic_a for_o go_v out_o of_o abraham_n family_n from_o which_o she_o force_v she_o tell_v i_o i_o pray_v you_o if_o the_o case_n
