for_o if_o you_o can_v answer_v i_o to_o this_o i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v theophilus_n then_o hear_v i_o i_o pray_v you_o i_o grant_v you_o that_o chryst_n have_v have_v a_o church_n or_o congregation_n hear_v in_o earth_n which_o have_v continual_o preach_v his_o gospel_n his_o testament_fw-it his_o holy_a word_n from_o his_o resurrection_n yea_o from_o the_o beginning_a unto_o this_o day_n these_o have_v be_v visible_a and_o know_v as_o john_n the_o baptyst_n be_v know_v to_o herode_fw-la chryste_n be_v know_v to_o the_o jew_n for_o john_n be_v behe_v and_o chryste_n be_v crucify_v and_o which_o of_o the_o apostle_n escape_v that_o be_v not_o put_v to_o death_n some_o hang_v some_o broil_v some_o roast_a some_o one_o cruel_a death_n and_o some_o another_o and_o therefore_o you_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o be_v know_v and_o yet_o because_o you_o shall_v not_o say_v but_o even_o the_o apostle_n hide_v themselves_o and_o flee_v you_o read_v how_o saint_n paul_n be_v let_v down_o in_o a_o basket_n over_o the_o wall_n and_o go_v his_o way_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o many_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o man_n of_o god_n vex_v and_o persecute_v and_o all_o this_o be_v for_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o whereas_o you_o lie_v to_o our_o charge_n that_o our_o church_n begin_v but_o of_o late_a your_o church_n be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v suspect_v for_o that_o which_o have_v so_o long_o space_n keep_v down_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o profess_v none_o other_o doctrine_n than_o the_o apostle_n and_o martyr_n do_v which_o die_v for_o it_o as_o you_o see_v how_o our_o preacher_n and_o diverse_a other_o good_a brethren_n be_v content_v to_o geve_v over_o their_o lyve_n likewise_o for_o the_o same_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v for_o chryste_n have_v teach_v in_o dyvers_a place_n that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v for_o his_o doctrine_n but_o he_o never_o teach_v to_o kill_v any_o for_o it_o the_o rule_n that_o your_o prelate_n have_v take_v over_o the_o church_n have_v be_v and_o yet_o be_v like_a prince_n and_o not_o like_o apostle_n they_o play_v the_o destroyer_n but_o not_o the_o saveour_n they_o follow_v their_o master_n the_o devil_n and_o not_o our_o master_n chryste_n and_o therefore_o let_v no_o man_n think_v that_o chryste_n mayntayn_v his_o church_n in_o such_o pomp_n and_o pride_n but_o rather_o lay_v on_o they_o the_o cross_n for_o he_o say_v the_o servant_n be_v not_o great_a than_o his_o lord_n if_o they_o have_v persecute_v i_o they_o shall_v also_o persecute_v you_o and_o so_o forth_o but_o now_o your_o prelate_n find_v out_o such_o bald_a reason_n to_o persuade_v the_o simple_a to_o be_v of_o their_o side_n and_o say_v they_o where_o be_v these_o new_a fellow_n become_v they_o be_v go_v but_o christ_n church_n be_v a_o visible_a church_n a_o know_a church_n &_o not_o hide_v in_o corner_n but_o show_v herself_o open_o and_o such_o like_a but_o i_o pray_v you_o where_o be_v their_o church_n in_o king_n edward_n day_n if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o prove_v it_o a_o false_a church_n but_o that_o same_o one_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v they_o false_a dissembler_n for_o where_o as_o christ_n apostle_n disciple_n and_o many_o martyr_n after_o that_o will_v rather_o lose_v their_o lyve_n then_o deny_v their_o master_n or_o his_o doctrine_n they_o be_v content_v not_o only_o to_o subscribe_v but_o also_o to_o preach_v earnest_o against_o that_o which_o they_o now_o defend_v if_o you_o will_v have_v one_o name_v axe_n

wherein_o do_v you_o continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o obseruaunce_n eusebius_n forseth_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o the_o church_n teach_v there_o be_v nothing_o as_o i_o think_v but_o the_o scripture_n do_v teach_v the_o same_o theophilus_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o in_o what_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v you_o find_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o knee_n down_o to_o creep_v and_o kiss_v image_n to_o sense_n they_o to_o deck_v they_o and_o trim_a they_o with_o such_o like_a or_o else_o rather_o tell_v i_o in_o how_o many_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n we_o be_v command_v to_o the_o contrary_n as_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o a_o thousand_o place_n beeside_v and_o like_o as_o in_o that_o point_n so_o almost_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o can_v prove_v that_o your_o catholyke_n do_v not_o only_o not_o follow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o also_o teach_v another_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o the_o same_o now_o if_o they_o will_v yet_o for_o all_o that_o boast_v themselves_o of_o chryste_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o yet_o teach_v another_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n ought_v we_o not_o to_o take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o they_o eusebius_n well_o yet_o tell_v i_o this_o one_o thing_n have_v not_o chryste_n have_v a_o church_n hear_v in_o earth_n ever_o sense_n his_o resurrection_n have_v not_o the_o church_n preach_v and_o continue_v visible_a a_o know_a church_n still_o in_o all_o place_n not_o in_o corner_n hear_v or_o there_o but_o through_o out_o all_o christendom_n &_o open_o have_v the_o rule_n and_o govern_v the_o whole_a congregation_n from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o your_o church_n begin_v of_o late_a year_n be_v a_o strange_a thing_n not_o know_v but_o a_o little_a while_n in_o a_o few_o place_n of_o germanye_n and_o so_o hear_v in_o england_n but_o it_o be_v quail_v again_o within_o short_a space_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o if_o it_o have_v
