a_o lawful_a council_n for_o as_o touch_v other_o council_n which_o be_v unlawful_a and_o fosterer_n of_o their_o faction_n we_o do_v not_o pass_v because_o we_o be_v not_o heretic_n as_o they_o be_v which_o contend_v against_o paul_n but_o we_o defend_v preserve_v and_o pure_o teach_v the_o apostolic_a doctrine_n which_o paul_n propon_v in_o that_o council_n whereas_o our_o adversary_n defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n enemy_n and_o by_o all_o violence_n and_o force_n thrust_v the_o same_o upon_o man_n the_o sum_n of_o paul_n doctrine_n be_v this_o that_o sinner_n adversary_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n &_o not_o by_o circumcision_n or_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o la_o against_o this_o doctrine_n do_v the_o enemy_n of_o paul_n who_o notwithstanding_o be_v reckon_v amongst_o the_o faithful_a and_o teach_v the_o faith_n in_o christ_n but_o yet_o not_o sincere_o set_v themselves_o say_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v circumcise_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o work_v thereof_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o judgement_n of_o both_o the_o part_n do_v evident_o appear_v by_o the_o xv_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n and_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n wherefore_o sith_o you_o teach_v the_o merit_n of_o work_v and_o dare_v to_o say_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n only_o in_o christ_n but_o by_o good_a work_v consider_v whether_o we_o or_o you_o with_o your_o doctrine_n come_v most_o near_o to_o the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o paul_n adversary_n and_o although_o they_o be_v such_o yet_o nevertheless_o they_o propon_v their_o opinion_n in_o the_o council_n at_o jerusalem_n counsel_n &_o be_v hear_v for_o in_o the._n xv_o of_o the_o act_n it_o be_v write_v that_o there_o be_v great_a disputation_n between_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n wherefore_o if_o we_o be_v heretic_n as_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o ought_v we_o by_o right_a to_o be_v hard_o in_o the_o council_n as_o they_o be_v and_o because_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o you_o do_v use_v sheweth_z that_o they_o condemn_v those_o which_o teach_v contrary_a to_o paul_n and_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o you_o teach_v the_o same_o it_o follow_v that_o you_o also_o be_v condemn_v in_o they_o but_o if_o as_o you_o suppose_v the_o adversary_n of_o paul_n have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o council_n than_o you_o which_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o opinion_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n by_o your_o own_o judgement_n in_o a_o lawful_a council_n but_o if_o they_o which_o consent_v to_o paul_n doctrine_n be_v admit_v into_o the_o council_n and_o give_v sentence_n against_o paul_n enemy_n than_o ought_v we_o by_o good_a right_a to_o set_v in_o the_o council_n and_o to_o give_v sentence_n against_o you_o for_o we_o teach_v like_o doctrine_n with_o paul_n touch_v christ_n faith_n in_o christ_n and_o of_o justification_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o work_n and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o question_n make_v direct_o against_o yourselves_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o question_n counsel_n be_v whether_o the_o apostle_n do_v take_v into_o the_o council_n lay_v or_o unlearned_a man_n which_o follow_v the_o foresay_a heresy_n but_o yet_o these_o man_n do_v rather_o in_o this_o place_n seek_v whether_o that_o lay_v man_n which_o follow_v hereste_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o counsel_n here_o first_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v consider_v who_o they_o be_v which_o follow_v hereste_n and_o then_o to_o consider_v to_o what_o end_n this_o question_n be_v direct_v and_o who_o they_o be_v which_o they_o go_v about_o to_o exclude_v from_o counsel_n to_o this_o second_o part_n we_o answer_v that_o those_o godly_a prince_n and_o magistrate_n and_o honest_a lie_v man_n which_o believe_v the_o gospel_n that_o we_o do_v preach_v do_v not_o follow_v heresy_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v admit_v into_o christian_a counsel_n and_o assembly_n we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o your_o custom_n and_o tyrannous_a government_n whereby_o sometime_o you_o do_v admit_v lay_v man_n into_o your_o counsel_n but_o yet_o to_o learn_v as_o you_o term_v it_o but_o when_o any_o weighty_a matter_n be_v to_o be_v conclude_v than_o you_o exclude_v they_o and_o place_v they_o only_o in_o your_o council_n which_o will_v geve_v sentence_n as_o you_o list_v and_o those_o be_v your_o bishop_n only_a but_o in_o the_o same_o place_n of_o the_o act_n which_o you_o allege_v for_o yourselves_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v then_o it_o please_v the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n with_o the_o whole_a church_n etc_n etc_n in_o the_o which_o place_n lie_v and_o unlearned_a man_n be_v number_v because_o they_o have_v the_o grace_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o neither_o may_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v exclude_v from_o counsel_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n neither_o ought_v the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n to_o suffer_v these_o spiritual_a nien_z as_o they_o call_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o whole_a authority_n of_o these_o matter_n to_o themselves_o the_o fourteen_o question_n why_o do_v not_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o sector_n heresy_n at_o antioch_n but_o come_v to_o peter_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o entreat_v he_o to_o give_v sentence_n upon_o it_o the_o answer_n the_o apostle_n can_v not_o 2._o make_v a_o end_n with_o their_o adversary_n except_o they_o will_v revoke_v some_o part_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o bring_v it_o more_o near_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o adversary_n and_o that_o their_o adversary_n will_v glad_o have_v have_v they_o do_v but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o similitude_n of_o agreement_n between_o these_o two_o sentence_n faith_n in_o christ_n justify_v man_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o this_o the_o la_o or_o work_n do_v justify_v man_n before_o god_n and_o not_o faith_n in_o christ_n neither_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v retract_v any_o part_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o yield_v unto_o their_o adversary_n for_o paul_n speak_v hereof_o say_v to_o who_o we_o give_v not_o place_n by_o subjection_n for_o a_o hour_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v continue_v with_o you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ._n if_o then_o while_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n we_o ourselves_o be_v find_v sinner_n be_v christ_n therefore_o the_o minister_n of_o sin_n â–ª_o god_n forbid_v for_o if_o i_o build_v again_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v destroy_v i_o make_v myself_o a_o trespasser_n hereby_o it_o evident_o appear_v that_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o agree_v with_o their_o adversary_n neither_o at_o antioch_n neither_o at_o jerusalem_n nor_o yield_v to_o any_o part_n of_o their_o doctrine_n neither_o yet_o will_v they_o neither_o come_v they_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o jerusalem_n end_n they_o will_v make_v agreement_n and_o join_v with_o their_o adversary_n much_o less_o than_o to_o entreat_v peter_n that_o he_o will_v pacify_v the_o matter_n between_o they_o but_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o their_o go_n be_v for_o that_o the_o heretic_n do_v brag_v themselves_o to_o be_v send_v from_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o that_o they_o agree_v in_o their_o doctrine_n and_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n touch_v the_o gospel_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o other_o apostle_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v evident_o appear_v that_o this_o their_o brag_n be_v false_a they_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o thereupon_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o jerusalem_n write_v to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n amongst_o who_o the_o heretic_n have_v scatter_v these_o thing_n untrue_o against_o paul_n &_o so_o among_o other_o they_o use_v these_o word_n because_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o certain_a be_v come_v from_o we_o and_o have_v trouble_v you_o with_o their_o word_n to_o who_o we_o have_v give_v no_o commandment_n etc_n etc_n read_v the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o act_n and_o the_o second_o to_o the_o galatian_n the_o fiftienth_n question_n whether_o that_o paul_n do_v not_o speak_v his_o mind_n first_o in_o that_o council_n also_o whether_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o there_o present_a wherefore_o if_o these_o be_v true_a why_o do_v they_o with_o their_o sect_n spoil_v the_o church_n of_o peter_n of_o her_o honour_n and_o how_o dare_v they_o call_v in_o doubt_n those_o thing_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v inspire_v the_o answer_n now_o it_o may_v plain_o appear_v by_o this_o question_n to_o what_o end_n the_o former_a question_n be_v write_v by_o their_o

not_o right_o but_o without_o faith_n the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v evermore_o true_a and_o be_v leave_v unto_o we_o for_o our_o instruction_n but_o in_o that_o all_o man_n do_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v instruct_v thereby_o they_o yea_o their_o lack_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o simon_n magus_n be_v baptize_v but_o not_o

supper_n of_o our_o lord_n receive_v not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n unto_o eternal_a life_n not_o because_o the_o sacrament_n do_v not_o represent_v and_o offer_v the_o same_o meat_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o because_o he_o receive_v it_o without_o faith_n again_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v grace_n not_o therefore_o obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o because_o it_o be_v our_o work_n but_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n because_o through_o grace_n we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n in_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o now_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n &_o therefore_o by_o this_o mean_n show_v ourselves_o thankful_a and_o obedient_a towards_o he_o again_o we_o know_v that_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o increase_v and_o grow_v in_o the_o

the_o answer_n it_o appear_v by_o this_o question_n anabaptist_n they_o mind_n to_o make_v some_o proof_n of_o we_o what_o we_o do_v think_v of_o the_o anabaptist_n wherefore_o we_o answer_v that_o even_o you_o which_o be_v the_o upholder_n &_o maintainer_n of_o the_o popish_a kingdom_n &_o the_o hinderer_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v most_o wicked_o offend_v and_o that_o the_o

will_v suffer_v the_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o have_v his_o free_a passage_n then_o can_v not_o this_o heresy_n nor_o any_o other_o so_o mighty_o prevail_v and_o take_v place_n to_o the_o deceive_n of_o simple_a and_o unlearned_a man_n which_o think_v what_o so_o ever_o be_v teach_v they_o be_v straight_o way_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n neither_o go_v we_o about_o to_o defend_v the_o anabaptist_n from_o who_o we_o dissent_v very_o much_o as_o in_o all_o our_o book_n we_o do_v plain_o declare_v but_o many_o of_o they_o be_v very_o simple_a man_n and_o otherwise_o of_o a_o honest_a nature_n who_o have_v scarce_o hear_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o if_o they_o have_v yet_o because_o they_o see_v so_o little_a amendment_n of_o life_n among_o those_o that_o profess_v the_o same_o &_o be_v call_v gospeler_n yield_v to_o the_o subtle_a persuasion_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n think_v they_o shall_v great_o offend_v if_o they_o baptise_v their_o infant_n take_v a_o oath_n or_o come_v unto_o those_o church_n in_o which_o as_o they_o say_v sinner_n do_v yet_o remain_v yea_o that_o no_o minister_n which_o receive_v any_o stipend_n for_o his_o ministry_n or_o do_v not_o himself_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o teach_v other_o to_o do_v can_v teach_v the_o true_a doctrine_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o congregation_n a_o true_a church_n in_o which_o the_o order_n of_o prophesy_v and_o excommunication_n be_v not_o according_a to_o that_o form_n which_o s._n paul_n have_v prescribe_v 1._o corrin_n 14._o therefore_o as_o these_o their_o error_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suffer_v so_o yet_o must_v they_o be_v friendly_a instruct_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o bring_v home_o again_o as_o s._n paul_n teach_v rom._n 14._o but_o if_o they_o be_v contentious_a and_o stubborn_a they_o must_v not_o yet_o therefore_o straight_o way_n be_v cast_v off_o but_o hope_v better_a of_o they_o take_v heed_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n lest_o they_o infect_a any_o other_o with_o these_o their_o obscure_a opinion_n while_o we_o look_v for_o their_o amendment_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o convert_v yet_o must_v we_o always_o deal_v sober_o

what_o they_o will_v do_v if_o they_o may_v have_v free_a liberty_n we_o have_v good_a experience_n in_o the_o monkish_a anabaptist_n if_o therefore_o these_o man_n which_o be_v so_o malicious_a may_v

of_o infant_n it_o infant_n have_v his_o authority_n from_o the_o scripture_n for_o because_o we_o all_o confess_v that_o baptism_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o people_n of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o infant_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n and_o be_v number_v with_o his_o people_n therefore_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o sign_n hereof_o can_v be_v
