try_v by_o the_o fan_n of_o persecution_n &_o so_o to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n but_o they_o revolt_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n at_o sundry_a time_n &_o upon_o diverse_a occasion_n either_o because_o they_o can_v not_o abide_v to_o be_v reprove_v for_o their_o fault_n &_o offence_n or_o else_o because_o they_o will_v not_o submit_v their_o neck_n to_o the_o yoke_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o range_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n as_o other_o do_v or_o else_o because_o they_o can_v not_o addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n as_o have_v be_v say_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o stumble_v at_o the_o first_o stumble_v stone_n whereon_o they_o light_v in_o the_o way_n nay_o rather_o they_o go_v purposely_o to_o seek_v the_o same_o othersome_a have_v take_v occasion_n at_o the_o cross_n &_o persecution_n and_o albeit_o the_o most_o part_n of_o these_o man_n make_v a_o show_n that_o they_o approve_v our_o religion_n &_o yet_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v count_v good_a catholic_n be_v more_o superstitious_a and_o addict_v to_o ceremony_n than_o other_o yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v very_a epicure_n &_o atheist_n which_o in_o their_o heart_n deride_v all_o religion_n as_o for_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n we_o may_v rather_o desire_v it_o than_o ever_o hope_v for_o it_o that_o they_o will_v ever_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o their_o offence_n that_o they_o may_v turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n have_v strike_v they_o with_o such_o blindness_n through_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v in_o great_a darkness_n of_o beastly_a ignorance_n as_o touch_v the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o fault_n than_o they_o be_v before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o it_o fare_v with_o they_o as_o with_o he_o that_o in_o a_o dark_a night_n come_v to_o put_v out_o a_o candle_n or_o light_n wherewith_o he_o be_v enlighten_v a_o while_n for_o afterward_o his_o eye_n dazzle_v more_o &_o he_o be_v in_o worse_a case_n than_o before_o he_o have_v that_o light_n therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o these_o man_n be_v so_o turn_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n that_o they_o can_v return_v into_o the_o same_o again_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o those_o which_o have_v once_o be_v illuminate_v and_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n &_o have_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v if_o these_o i_o say_v fall_v away_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v renew_a to_o repentance_n see_v they_o crucify_v the_o son_n of_o god_n afresh_o so_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v and_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o he_o now_o then_o forasmuch_o as_o these_o man_n be_v harden_v in_o their_o wickedness_n &_o so_o consequent_o incurable_a it_o be_v but_o lose_v labour_n to_o write_v to_o they_o &_o to_o exhort_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o amend_v their_o fault_n wherefore_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o apply_v myself_o to_o they_o in_o this_o my_o writing_n save_v only_o to_o denounce_v against_o they_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrews_n that_o be_v that_o see_v they_o have_v sin_v willing_o after_o they_o know_v the_o truth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v see_v that_o be_v altogether_o estrange_v and_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o take_v pleasure_n in_o iniquity_n &_o contrary_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n do_v malicious_o resist_v the_o know_v truth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n for_o they_o but_o a_o fearful_a look_v for_o judgement_n and_o a_o consume_a fire_n which_o shall_v devour_v the_o adversary_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o both_o can_v &_o will_v say_v touch_v these_o man_n at_o this_o time_n but_o as_o for_o you_o my_o brethren_n to_o who_o i_o now_o speak_v god_n will_v not_o have_v i_o to_o reckon_v you_o among_o those_o man_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o will_v not_o i_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n as_o to_o write_v to_o you_o but_o as_o i_o know_v that_o in_o the_o more_o part_n of_o you_o there_o be_v more_o frailty_n than_o malice_n &_o hatred_n against_o the_o truth_n so_o likewise_o i_o have_v a_o good_a hope_n that_o after_o the_o lord_n through_o his_o goodness_n have_v behold_v you_o with_o the_o same_o eye_n wherewith_o he_o behold_v s._n peter_n he_o will_v make_v you_o come_v out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o that_o wicked_a priest_n caiphas_n where_o antichrist_n &_o his_o minister_n pursue_v jesus_n christ_n to_o death_n &_o spit_v in_o his_o face_n with_o mock_n railinge_n and_o blasphemy_n most_o horrible_a i_o hope_v also_o that_o after_o you_o have_v weep_v bitter_o for_o your_o fault_n you_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o receive_v to_o mercy_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o you_o be_v awake_v up_o &_o thorough_o touch_v lest_o you_o lie_v sleep_a in_o your_o sin_n and_o so_o flatter_v yourselves_o whether_o by_o excuse_v or_o lessen_v your_o fault_n or_o by_o feed_n yourselves_o with_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o vain_a hope_n and_o so_o fall_v final_o into_o the_o same_o hardness_n and_o obstinacy_n whereinto_o many_o be_v fall_v who_o when_o they_o first_o begin_v to_o fall_v away_o make_v none_o account_v always_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o filthy_a sink_n but_o do_v hope_n yea_o &_o persuade_v themselves_o to_o come_v out_o thence_o in_o time_n notwithstanding_o they_o have_v suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v lull_v fast_o asleep_o by_o the_o world_n in_o the_o bed_n of_o their_o tender_a &_o delicate_a flesh_n they_o drive_v off_o from_o day_n to_o day_n wait_v for_o some_o golden_a world_n wherein_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v preach_v without_o contradiction_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o religion_n shall_v no_o long_o bring_v with_o it_o the_o cross_n &_o affliction_n but_o what_o they_o see_v that_o in_o steed_n of_o have_v a_o end_n these_o affliction_n continue_v nay_o be_v redouble_v contrary_a to_o their_o hope_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o never_o as_o yet_o learned_a this_o lesson_n which_o jesus_n christ_n teach_v all_o those_o which_o will_v follow_v he_o that_o be_v 16_o mat._n 16_o that_o they_o forsake_v themselves_o and_o take_v up_o their_o cross_n that_o they_o may_v bear_v it_o during_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o that_o be_v thus_o prepare_v they_o follow_v he_o forasmuch_o they_o as_o these_o man_n see_v themselves_o deceive_v by_o their_o vain_a hope_n and_o that_o they_o never_o take_v any_o time_n to_o bethink_v themselves_o and_o to_o ponder_v their_o fault_n and_o to_o mark_v and_o consider_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o those_o that_o be_v so_o slack_a and_o disloyal_a as_o to_o fly_v from_o their_o ensign_n at_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v to_o enter_v the_o battle_n they_o be_v resolve_v to_o forsake_v all_o and_o to_o lie_v tumble_v in_o their_o filth_n that_o they_o may_v perish_v miserable_o yea_o eternal_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v suffer_v even_o a_o little_a with_o jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o may_v reign_v and_o be_v glorify_v with_o he_o eternal_o and_o now_o my_o brethren_n to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v make_v your_o profit_n of_o their_o folly_n and_o that_o by_o other_o man_n harm_n you_o may_v learn_v to_o be_v wise_a you_o must_v beware_v that_o you_o take_v not_o the_o same_o way_n which_o they_o have_v take_v but_o contrariwise_o enter_v you_o rather_o into_o yourselves_o and_o examine_v your_o conscience_n thorough_o without_o flattery_n give_v the_o same_o judgement_n of_o your_o fault_n and_o pronounce_v the_o same_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n against_o your_o own_o self_n which_o you_o sometime_o give_v upon_o these_o which_o have_v use_v the_o like_a slackness_n &_o disloialty_n to_o the_o end_n that_o judge_v yourselves_o you_o may_v not_o be_v judge_v of_o the_o lord_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n and_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o do_v this_o you_o must_v rather_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o witness_n of_o your_o own_o conscience_n which_o accuse_v you_o then_o to_o the_o enchant_a voice_n of_o that_o old_a serpent_n who_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v seduce_v you_o as_o he_o have_v already_o make_v too_o great_a a_o beginning_n cease_v not_o to_o
