about_o the_o matter_n but_o now_o for_o the_o right_a use_n of_o this_o way_n of_o trial_n condition_n there_o be_v two_o condition_n to_o be_v observe_v of_o his_o part_n which_o will_v object_v a_o old_a heresy_n to_o a_o other_o the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o party_n do_v in_o deed_n hold_v that_o thing_n which_o he_o object_v and_o not_o a_o certain_a likeliehoode_n of_o it_o for_o that_o be_v to_o slander_v and_o not_o to_o object_v adversary_n as_o when_o our_o adversary_n do_v object_n to_o we_o the_o heresy_n of_o pelagius_n abowt_n free_a will_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a slander_n for_o we_o hold_v that_o man_n will_n be_v prevent_v and_o holpen_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n may_v work_v well_o but_o he_o hold_v that_o it_o can_v do_v the_o same_o by_o the_o power_n and_o force_v of_o nature_n without_o the_o help_n of_o god_n grace_n as_o s_o augustin_n prove_v at_o large_a in_o his_o book_n of_o free_a will_n the_o like_a injury_n they_o do_v we_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n which_o they_o object_n against_o we_o as_o the_o heresy_n of_o those_o which_o do_v sacrifice_n to_o our_o lady_n and_o the_o like_a which_o we_o do_v not_o the_o second_o condition_n be_v that_o the_o heresy_n object_v be_v in_o deed_n such_o as_o be_v account_v and_o condemn_v for_o a_o heresy_n in_o the_o primative_a church_n and_o not_o only_o that_o a_o heretic_n hold_v it_o for_o heretic_n do_v hold_v diverse_a truth_n always_o together_o with_o falsehood_n and_o for_o lack_v of_o this_o condition_n do_v our_o adversary_n often_o abuse_v the_o simple_a people_n as_o m._n fulke_o oftentimes_o say_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o heresy_n because_o the_o montanist_n which_o be_v heretic_n hold_v it_o but_o let_v he_o prove_v that_o ever_o this_o be_v account_v one_o of_o montanus_n his_o heresy_n &_o they_o he_o prove_v somewhat_o but_o that_o he_o can_v never_o do_v for_o he_o grant_v austen_n ambrose_n chrisostom_n jerom_n and_o other_o ●o_o have_v use_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a who_o notwitstanding_n be_v great_a enemy_n to_o montanus_n and_o all_o his_o error_n wherefore_o this_o be_v a_o very_a malitiouse_a kind_n of_o abuse_v people_n and_o i_o here_o say_v again_o that_o let_v he_o and_o all_o the_o protestant_n in_o the_o world_n prove_v that_o we_o do_v hold_v in_o deed_n but_o any_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v account_v a_o heresy_n in_o the_o primative_a church_n &_o we_o will_v grant_v that_o we_o be_v not_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o that_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n we_o err_v beside_o heresy_n but_o we_o in_o charge_v they_o with_a heresy_n do_v observe_v alway_v the_o foresay_a two_o condition_n as_o for_o example_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o the_o opinion_n of_o aerius_n which_o deny_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a and_o that_o they_o hold_v this_o very_a same_o opinion_n they_o will_v not_o deny_v and_o that_o it_o be_v account_v a_o heresy_n in_o the_o primative_a church_n 15._o we_o allege_v for_o witness_n s._n augustin_n and_o epiphanius_n how_o do_v they_o avoid_v this_o no_o way_n but_o by_o sayeinge_v that_o augustin_n and_o epiphanius_n be_v deceive_v in_o record_v that_o for_o a_o heresy_n which_o be_v none_o for_o that_o be_v m._n fulks_n answer_v which_o be_v to_o condemn_v all_o that_o age_n for_o that_o those_o holy_a father_n write_v down_o heresy_n as_o they_o be_v take_v in_o those_o day_n by_o the_o church_n the_o like_a we_o do_v about_o vigilantius_n who_o opinion_n be_v among_o other_o that_o saint_n be_v not_o to_o be_v pray_v to_o nor_o their_o relic_n to_o be_v honour_v now_o that_o the_o protestant_n hold_v this_o no_o man_n dowt_v and_o that_o this_o be_v account_v heresy_n in_o the_o primative_a church_n vigilantium_fw-la we_o cite_v s._n jerome_n for_o a_o witness_n which_o write_v against_o he_o what_o shift_n be_v there_o here_o none_o but_o to_o deface_v s._n jerome_n and_o commend_v vigilantius_fw-la and_o to_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v a_o heresy_n for_o so_o do_v m._n fulke_o 54._o saye_v further_o that_o jerome_n rather_o rail_v than_o reason_v and_o that_o vigilantius_n be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o his_o opinion_n sound_v the_o like_a order_n we_o take_v in_o a_o number_n of_o other_o old_a heretical_a point_n which_o we_o charge_v they_o withal_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o table_n and_o book_n set_v out_o of_o this_o matter_n now_o if_o our_o adversary_n can_v bring_v we_o to_o any_o such_o confession_n of_o heresy_n the_o matter_n be_v end_v but_o they_o can_v not_o and_o therefore_o i_o know_v they_o will_v never_o admit_v this_o way_n of_o trial_n the_o last_o way_n of_o trial_n whereof_o i_o will_v speak_v at_o this_o time_n be_v to_o consider_v the_o manner_n of_o old_a heretic_n heretic_n &_o to_o compare_v the_o same_o with_o
