old_a the_o true_a christian_a ¶_o they_o be_v so_o call_v because_o of_o the_o auncientnes_n elder_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n be_v call_v priest_n or_o elder_n wisdom_n and_o sobrenesse_n and_o also_o for_o the_o great_a learning_n and_o discretion_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o they_o for_o this_o word_n eldership_n do_v import_n and_o signify_v all_o these_o thing_n if_o they_o be_v not_o then_o ancient_a in_o age_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v ancient_a in_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o also_o in_o example_n of_o godly_a conversation_n and_o live_v robin_n papyst_n now_o therefore_o i_o do_v ask_v you_o whether_o christ_n have_v not_o forbid_a such_o priest_n or_o minister_n of_o his_o church_n to_o marye_n the_o true_a christian_a no_o very_o as_o you_o yourself_o shall_v easy_o perceyve_v if_o you_o will_v read_v diligent_o the_o scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n robin_n papyst_n as_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o already_o our_o preacher_n of_o london_n do_v stout_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a lawful_a for_o a_o pryeste_n to_o marye_n nor_o for_o a_o man_n that_o be_v marry_v to_o be_v a_o pry_a the_o true_a christian_a in_o deed_n it_o be_v not_o lawefmll_v for_o popish_a priest_n to_o marye_n marye_n what_o prye_v they_o be_v that_o may_v not_o marye_n if_o they_o will_v follow_v the_o ordinance_n constitution_n and_o law_n of_o your_o holy_a father_n the_o pope_n for_o according_a to_o his_o rule_n he_o have_v rather_o that_o his_o pryeste_n be_v whoremonger_n sodomite_n and_o filthy_a adulterer_n as_o he_o be_v himself_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v honest_a marry_a man_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesu_n chryst_n robin_n papist_n how_o know_v you_o that_o to_o be_v true_a the_o true_a christian_a god_n wot_v it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o be_v know_v for_o if_o one_o of_o his_o pryeste_n be_v find_v or_o take_v in_o advoutrye_n you_o good_a justice_n i_o warrant_v you_o or_o in_o whoredom_n by_o geve_v the_o bishop_n a_o noble_a or_o two_o or_o by_o bryng_v a_o couple_n or_o two_o of_o fat_a capon_n unto_o the_o commissary_n he_o shall_v be_v quitt_v and_o let_v go_v afterwards_o but_o upon_o a_o condition_n that_o he_o do_v it_o wary_o afterwards_o but_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o take_v a_o wife_n and_o so_o marye_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o to_o keep_v himself_o a_o undefiled_a member_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesu_n chry_v he_o shall_v be_v burn_v up_o like_o a_o heretic_n whereby_o you_o may_v know_v that_o he_o have_v rather_o that_o his_o pryeste_n shall_v walowe_v in_o filthy_a and_o stynkinge_v whoredom_n do_v it_o be_v a_o plain_a blasphemye_n against_o the_o god_n in_o earth_n so_o to_o do_v than_o that_o they_o shall_v once_o marye_n and_o that_o he_o do_v eastern_a it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o marry_v than_o to_o be_v a_o common_a whorehunter_n robin_n papyst_n but_o they_o say_v that_o the_o church_n have_v so_o ordain_v long_o a_o go_v ♣_o the_o tru●_n chrystian_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o popish_a church_n have_v

inspire_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v geve_v a_o commandment_n unto_o the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v abstain_v from_o their_o own_o wife_n the_o true_a christian_a it_o answer_v to_o it_o that_o example_n serve_v nothing_o for_o the_o popyshe_a church_n if_o you_o do_v well_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o moses_n for_o he_o do_v general_o forbydde_v all_o the_o people_n to_o come_v to_o their_o wife_n but_o your_o holy_a father_n the_o pope_n do_v only_o forbydde_v his_o priest_n again_o moses_n say_v not_o i_o command_v &_o charge_v you_o that_o you_o never_o come_v to_o your_o

have_v say_v you_o must_v sanctify_v yourselves_o these_o three_o day_n therefore_o you_o shall_v cease_v from_o all_o your_o bodily_a labour_n and_o work_n and_o also_o from_o the_o use_n of_o your_o

command_v the_o people_n to_o abstain_v from_o their_o bodily_a labour_n wyve_n why_o the_o people_n be_v bydden_a to_o reframe_v from_o their_o wyve_n and_o companing_n with_o their_o wyve_n only_o for_o three_o day_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o ready_a both_o to_o pray_v and_o also_o to_o receyve_v the_o high_a misterye_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o show_v unto_o they_o the_o thyrd_o day_n the_o like_a do_v the_o bless_a apostell_n saynct_v paul_n say_v unto_o all_o christian_n that_o be_v marry_v speak_v after_o this_o manner_n book_n i_o corin._n seven_o this_o place_n

paul_n will_v not_o have_v a_o man_n to_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o his_o wife_n nor_o the_o wife_n from_o her_o husband_n but_o as_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o one_o can_v forbear_v the_o other_o and_o if_o you_o consider_v well_o the_o word_n of_o sayncte_n paul_n you_o shall_v soon_o perceyve_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o man_n and_o the_o wife_n to_o be_v long_o a_o sunder_a jest_n satan_n the_o devil_n do_v tempt_v they_o and_o make_v theym_a to_o fall_v into_o some_o abominable_a sin_n through_o their_o incontinencye_n for_o as_o a_o man_n can_v not_o always_o pray_v

commandment_n to_o the_o pryeste_n only_o that_o they_o shall_v abstain_v from_o they_o wife_n pope_n the_o example_n of_o moses_n can_v serve_v nothing_o for_o the_o pope_n but_o also_o to_o the_o
