i_o shall_v present_o return_v he_o i_o doubt_v not_o a_o satisfiable_a answer_n the_o four_o interrogatory_n whether_o whatsoever_o the_o devil_n speak_v be_v therefore_o to_o be_v judge_v devilish_a because_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o devil_n this_o be_v determine_v from_o the_o confession_n of_o their_o own_o jesuit_n viz._n that_o although_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o father_n of_o lie_n yet_o do_v he_o tell_v some_o truth_n which_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n where_o he_o be_v note_v to_o have_v cry_v out_o say_v unto_o christ_n place_n what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o thou_o jesus_n thou_o son_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o therein_o to_o have_v confess_v two_o article_n of_o christian_a faith_n even_o the_o humanity_n and_o divinity_n of_o christ_n the_o five_o interrogatory_n whether_o satan_n in_o his_o conference_n object_v any_o argument_n against_o private_a mass_n which_o be_v not_o a_o certain_a &_o confess_a truth_n the_o point_n be_v these_o first_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n be_v to_o be_v administer_v in_o both_o kind_n bread_n and_o wine_n next_o that_o it_o be_v no_o coommunion_n wherein_o only_o the_o priest_n do_v communicate_v last_o that_o the_o action_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o true_a mass_n be_v the_o annunciation_n of_o christ_n death_n which_o be_v partly_o prove_v by_o the_o confession_n of_o our_o adversary_n to_o accord_v with_o christ_n institution_n and_o may_v also_o be_v as_o easy_o confirm_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o best_a antiquity_n but_o what_o say_v luther_n to_o all_o this_o he_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o most_o subtle_a liar_n even_o then_o when_o he_o speak_v truth_n as_o for_o example_n in_o strike_v the_o heart_n of_o judas_n with_o that_o direful_a thought_n i_o have_v betray_v the_o innocent_a blood_n this_o say_v luther_n judas_n can_v not_o deny_v for_o it_o be_v too_o true_a a_o truth_n but_o the_o lie_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v this_o therefore_o must_v thou_o o_o judas_n despair_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n therefore_o brother_n papist_n say_v luther_n the_o devil_n do_v not_o lie_v when_o he_o accuse_v a_o man_n for_o he_o bring_v with_o he_o two_o inconuincible_a witness_n even_o god_n law_n &_o man_n conscience_n the_o truth_n of_o which_o assertion_n every_o conscience_n of_o man_n will_v ready_o confess_v now_o follow_v the_o last_o interrogatory_n whether_o luther_n in_o that_o conflict_n do_v conquer_v the_o devil_n temptation_n or_o no_o this_o need_v none_o other_o answer_n than_o luther_n own_o application_n so_o say_v he_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o i_o have_v sin_v mean_v in_o celebrate_v private_a mass_n contrary_a unto_o christ_n holy_a institution_n but_o the_o devil_n do_v herein_o lie_v in_o tempt_v i_o to_o despair_v with_o cain_n i_o confess_v indeed_o even_o before_o the_o devil_n that_o i_o have_v sin_v with_o judas_n but_o i_o turn_v myself_o unto_o christ_n with_o peter_n i_o call_v upon_o christ_n i_o believe_v in_o christ_n who_o have_v condemn_v all_o horrible_a damnation_n and_o blot_v out_o my_o sin_n with_o his_o blood_n whereof_o i_o doubt_v not_o for_o to_o this_o end_n i_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n his_o seal_n of_o grace_n which_o combat_n with_o the_o devil_n i_o show_v how_o semblable_a it_o be_v unto_o s._n bernard_n case_n of_o who_o we_o read_v that_o 12._o in_o the_o fierce_a conflict_n which_o he_o have_v with_o the_o devil_n tempt_v he_o to_o despair_v i_o confess_v say_v he_o that_o i_o be_o unworthy_a neither_o can_v i_o by_o my_o merit_n obtain_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o christ_n my_o lord_n do_v possess_v it_o by_o a_o double_a right_n the_o one_o be_v by_o inheritance_n from_o the_o father_n the_o other_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o own_o passion_n he_o be_v content_v with_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o do_v he_o impart_v unto_o i_o this_o be_v my_o discourse_n whereby_o their_o ordinary_a

which_o belong_v unto_o i_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o devil_n do_v sometime_o exhort_v unto_o good_a although_o with_o a_o wicked_a intent_n which_o as_o our_o adversary_n will_v easy_o grant_v may_v be_v confirm_v by_o his_o commendation_n of_o 5._o chastity_n and_o by_o innumerable_a other_o example_n but_o because_o the_o objection_n make_v against_o luther_n be_v concern_v the_o mass_n

therefore_o repair_v that_o breach_n with_o another_o example_n out_o of_o the_o same_o author_n in_o this_o manner_n i_o will_v show_v you_o say_v the_o jesuite_n del'rio_n a_o example_n worthy_a

the_o faithful_a may_v every_o sunday_n be_v call_v unto_o divine_a service_n by_o this_o confession_n i_o fortify_v my_o former_a consequence_n thus_o if_o the_o mass_n must_v be_v therefore_o
