preach_v of_o christ_n jesus_n true_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v daily_o be_v increase_v their_o conscience_n discharge_v and_o the_o church_n edefied_a which_o christ_n jesus_n have_v buy_v with_o

alone_o be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n theod._n but_o they_o say_v they_o refuse_v the_o wear_n of_o these_o garment_n because_o they_o be_v offensive_a to_o the_o godly_a a_o scandal_n to_o the_o weak_a brethren_n a_o hindrance_n to_o many_o in_o come_v to_o the_o gospel_n &_o a_o induration_n to_o the_o papist_n harden_v their_o heart_n in_o hope_n that_o their_o

be_v drive_v to_o the_o wall_n and_o sore_o gravele_v that_o will_v fly_v to_o these_o simple_a shift_n but_o whatsoever_o they_o say_v or_o affirm_v certain_a it_o be_v that_o offensive_a to_o the_o

christian_a prince_n be_v not_o offensive_a or_o scandalous_a to_o any_o good_a christian_n and_o to_o the_o other_o it_o matter_v not_o what_o it_o be_v for_o they_o be_v such_o as_o the_o lord_n

&_o their_o representation_n in_o all_o thing_n wherefore_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v your_o judgement_n herein_o amphil._n you_o say_v the_o truth_n for_o the_o papist_n have_v their_o mystery_n in_o all_o thing_n after_o their_o manner_n therefore_o thus_o they_o say_v that_o white_a do_v signify_v holiness_n innocency_n &_o all_o kind_n of_o integrity_n put_v they_o in_o mind_n what_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o this_o life_n and_o represent_v unto_o they_o the_o beatitude_n the_o felicity_n and_o happiness_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o this_o they_o prove_v ab_fw-la

white_a therefore_o forsooth_o they_o must_v wear_v white_a apparel_n the_o corner_a cap_n say_v these_o mysterious_a fellow_n do_v signify_v and_o represent_v the_o whole_a monarchy_n of_o the_o
