of_o he_o although_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o certain_a godly_a honest_a man_n be_v a_o great_a while_n since_o earnest_o in_o hand_n with_o i_o to_o write_v somewhat_o for_o the_o

they_o not_o hitherto_o win_v i_o to_o yield_v unto_o their_o petition_n and_o request_n because_o it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o my_o nature_n to_o thrust_v myself_o in_o to_o deal_v with_o matter_n of_o controversy_n and_o debate_n and_o sure_o i_o have_v at_o that_o time_n great_a reason_n to_o excuse_v i_o partly_o because_o i_o think_v that_o in_o short_a time_n this_o fond_a opinion_n will_v find_v no_o companion_n and_o therefore_o be_v soon_o forget_v or_o else_o that_o a_o few_o cockbrayn_v and_o lighthead_v fellow_n will_v only_o keep_v it_o in_o hug_a mugger_n and_o

never_o hard_a any_o speech_n of_o they_o save_v only_o a_o confuse_a kind_n of_o buzz_v of_o a_o thing_n so_o that_o if_o i_o shall_v have_v have_v to_o do_v with_o such_o as_o be_v not_o yet_o

therewith_o they_o will_v never_o let_v it_o be_v understand_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o this_o sleep_v now_o since_o that_o time_n have_v step_v out_o these_o boucherly_a soule-sleaers_a who_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n cut_v their_o throat_n and_o yet_o thanks_n be_v to_o god_n do_v they_o no_o hurt_n at_o all_o notwithstanding_o i_o very_o think_v that_o the_o error_n of_o the_o first_o sort_n be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v withal_o and_o beside_o that_o this_o second_o kind_n of_o they_o be_v lively_o to_o be_v repress_v for_o neither_o of_o both_o sort_n have_v any_o foundation_n either_o of_o reason_n or_o yet_o of_o judgement_n howbeit_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o persuade_v other_o thus_o except_o maugre_o their_o beard_n as_o we_o common_o say_v i_o open_o refute_v these_o babble_a gallaunte_n and_o so_o discover_v their_o leasing_n which_o can_v no_o way_n be_v perceive_v but_o by_o their_o write_n now_o as_o i_o hear_v say_v they_o hear_v and_o there_o let_v fly_v i_o know_v not_o in_o what_o short_a scedul_v and_o pamflett_n their_o leasing_n and_o doltery_n unto_o which_o i_o can_v never_o as_o yet_o once_o come_v to_o the_o sight_n of_o they_o only_o i_o have_v

other_o half_a still_o to_o myself_o but_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o draw_v unto_o their_o error_n great_a store_n of_o people_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o troublesome_a speech_n and_o mighty_a prattle_n wherewith_o they_o so_o great_o deal_v as_o if_o they_o have_v cause_v print_v book_n to_o have_v be_v spread_v all_o the_o world_n over_o i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o can_v be_v guiltless_a of_o treason_n against_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n if_o in_o so_o great_a a_o necessity_n i_o hold_v my_o peace_n and_o dissemble_v the_o matter_n and_o true_o because_o i_o hope_v my_o travel_n will_v be_v very_o profitable_a even_o to_o the_o most_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a who_o may_v set_v themselves_o occupy_v about_o this_o matter_n and_o argument_n i_o will_v not_o be_v a_o fear_v to_o render_v unto_o all_o honest_a and_o godly_a man_n a_o reason_n of_o my_o faith_n and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o well_o furnish_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o defence_n able_a at_o full_a to_o geve_v the_o attempt_n to_o the_o enemy_n neither_o yet_o so_o strong_o bulwark_v as_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o approach_v thereto_o nevertheless_o i_o hope_v not_o altogether_o

this_o combat_n which_o can_v no_o way_n bring_v with_o it_o so_o great_a gain_n as_o pain_n consider_v especial_o because_o i_o think_v that_o the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o apostle_n may_v if_o it_o be_v at_o any_o time_n needful_a be_v sufficient_a in_o this_o behalf_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v of_o discreet_a judgement_n and_o although_o these_o man_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o use_v the_o discretion_n which_o we_o glad_o desire_n yet_o will_v i_o have_v as_o great_a regard_n as_o i_o can_v modest_o to_o dispute_v of_o the_o matter_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v if_o it_o have_v so_o please_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n that_o some_o other_o mean_a may_v have_v be_v find_v for_o the_o sudden_a cut_n of_o of_o this_o mischief_n which_o too_o too_o much_o increase_v lest_o it_o eat_v in_o far_a and_o far_o like_o a_o cancer_n although_o this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n only_o of_o the_o beginning_n thereof_o for_o we_o read_v that_o the_o arabian_n be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o this_o error_n who_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n die_v together_o with_o the_o body_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v both_o of_o they_o rise_v again_o at_o the_o judgement_n day_n and_o within_o a_o while_n after_o john_n bishop_n of_o rome_n defend_v the_o same_o which_o the_o sorboniste_n of_o paris_n make_v he_o recant_v now_o when_o this_o error_n have_v long_a time_n after_o that_o be_v repress_v the_o anabaptiste_n begin_v late_o to_o revive_v the_o same_o and_o blow_v abroad_o certain_a spark_n thereof_o which_o sparkle_v far_o and_o wide_a in_o the_o end_n fall_v out_o into_o hot_a fiery_a flame_n which_o i_o beseech_v the_o lord_n god_n to_o quench_v even_o at_o the_o first_o day_n with_o this_o gladsome_a rain_n which_o he_o especial_o reserve_v for_o his_o church_n now_o then_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n his_o holy_a spirit_n i_o intend_v to_o dispute_v hereof_o without_o bitterness_n of_o mind_n without_o tie_v myself_o to_o any_o man_n particular_o and_o also_o without_o desire_n to_o scoff_n and_o slander_n so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a in_o truth_n to_o complain_v that_o i_o have_v hurt_v he_o or_o yet_o by_o any_o mean_v possible_a once_o offend_v he_o though_o we_o may_v in_o deed_n at_o this_o day_n see_v some_o man_n very_o hoat_o give_v to_o reprehend_v sting_n and_o find_v fault_n who_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v touch_v but_o with_o the_o typp_n of_o the_o finger_n will_v by_o and_o by_o cry_n out_o and_o say_v that_o we_o break_v the_o unity_n and_o quietness_n of_o the_o church_n and_o utter_o violate_v charity_n and_o brotherly_a love_n but_o to_o these_o man_n this_o be_v my_o answer_n in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o we_o acknowledge_v no_o unity_n but_o such_o as_o be_v found_v in_o and_o upon_o christ_n neither_o yet_o allow_v we_o of_o any_o other_o charity_n then_o of_o that_o whereof_o he_o be_v the_o bond_n so_o that_o the_o principal_a point_n and_o beginning_n to_o preserve_v charity_n be_v this_o that_o our_o faith_n remain_v holy_a and_o sound_a amongst_o us._n and_o over_o and_o beside_o this_o i_o say_v that_o this_o disputation_n may_v very_o well_o be_v decide_v with_o out_o any_o breach_n of_o charity_n if_o they_o bring_v with_o they_o such_o ear_n as_o i_o determine_v to_o bring_v a_o tongue_n and_o as_o for_o you_o right_a worthy_a sir_n there_o be_v many_o cause_n

other_o be_v these_o dream_n or_o fable_n but_o because_o they_o will_v have_v some_o way_n to_o escape_v they_o make_v a_o parable_n of_o this_o story_n and_o say_v that_o whatsoever_o the_o truth_n speak_v of_o abraham_n the_o rich_a glutton_n and_o of_o lazarus_n be_v but_o a_o feign_a thing_n this_o be_v all_o the_o reverence_n they_o bear_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o his_o word_n but_o i_o ask_v this_o of_o they_o let_v they_o bring_v forth_o but_o one_o only_a example_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n where_o in_o a_o parable_n any_o man_n be_v call_v by_o his_o name_n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o these_o word_n there_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n name_v lazarus_n etc._n etc._n either_o must_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o false_a lie_n or_o else_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a true_a story_n the_o ancient_a doctor_n also_o have_v great_a regard_n to_o this_o for_o s._n ambrose_n say_v that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o story_n than_o a_o parable_n because_o there_o be_v a_o name_n put_v in_o s._n gregory_n be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n tertulyan_n ireneus_fw-la origen_n s._n cyprian_n and_o s._n jerome_n do_v take_v it_o for_o a_o history_n amongst_o who_o tertulyan_n think_v that_o by_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v mean_v herode_fw-la and_o by_o lazarus_n john_n baptist_n and_o see_v what_o ireneus_fw-la say_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v recite_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n &_o of_o lazarus_n be_v no_o fable_n and_o cyrill_n answer_v the_o arrian_n who_o out_o of_o this_o place_n make_v it_o their_o buckler_n for_o the_o refute_v of_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n refall_v not_o this_o as_o a_o parable_n but_o expound_v it_o as_o a_o history_n but_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mockery_n that_o for_o the_o strengthen_v of_o their_o error_n the_o more_o they_o pretend_v the_o name_n of_o s._n augustine_n and_o because_o they_o may_v the_o better_o wrangle_v say_v that_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o same_o opinion_n i_o think_v they_o do_v it_o for_o this_o cause_n for_o that_o he_o have_v say_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n that_o we_o must_v understand_v by_o lazarus_n jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o the_o rich_a man_n the_o pharysy_n and_o yet_o his_o meaning_n be_v none_o otherwise_o but_o that_o this_o story_n be_v to_o be_v transfer_v into_o a_o parable_n if_o the_o person_n of_o lazarus_n be_v attribute_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n unto_o the_o pharysy_n this_o be_v also_o the_o custom_n and_o manner_n of_o all_o such_o man_n as_o have_v once_o

to_o stay_v on_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o small_a a_o tittle_n of_o a_o letter_n which_o they_o will_v not_o lay_v fast_o hold_v on_o to_z wrythe_o and_o wrest_v it_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o

themselves_o in_o these_o very_a snare_n for_o admit_v we_o do_v grant_v it_o they_o to_o be_v a_o parable_n which_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o obtain_v at_o our_o hand_n what_o other_o thing_n can_v they_o gather_v hereupon_o but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o show_n of_o truth_n in_o this_o comparyson_n now_o if_o these_o great_a divine_n know_v not_o this_o let_v they_o go_v learn_v at_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o the_o gramarian_n and_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o a_o parable_n be_v a_o similitude_n take_v from_o the_o truth_n for_o when_o we_o hear_v that_o a_o man_n have_v two_o son_n unto_o who_o he_o divide_v and_o lot_v out_o their_o portion_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o man_n son_n a_o inheritance_n and_o a_o division_n of_o portion_n moreover_o this_o be_v always_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o parable_n first_o we_o must_v conceive_v of_o the_o bare_a matter_n as_o it_o be_v propound_v afterward_o we_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o parable_n to_o wit_n to_o the_o thing_n itself_o whereunto_o the_o parable_n be_v apply_v and_o herein_o let_v they_o follow_v chrysostom_n as_o their_o patron_n he_o always_o think_v this_o to_o be_v a_o

how_o horrible_a hell_n fire_n be_v and_o the_o destruction_n that_o come_v of_o pleasure_n and_o lest_o i_o shall_v here_o lose_v much_o speech_n let_v common_a reason_n teach_v they_o if_o they_o have_v any_o and_o they_o shall_v soon_o understand_v what_o the_o strength_n and_o reason_n of_o a_o parable_n be_v and_o because_o we_o will_v glad_o satisfy_v all_o man_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o

to_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o not_o only_o unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o faithful_a remission_n unto_o salvation_n but_o also_o unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o wicked_a utter_a destruction_n for_o thus_o do_v i_o interpret_v this_o place_n which_o have_v so_o great_o trouble_v many_o man_n wit_n and_o i_o hope_v so_o to_o persuade_v all_o good_a and_o godly_a man_n for_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o humility_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o of_o christ_n and_o he_o have_v show_v that_o all_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o fashion_n themselves_o to_o be_v like_a unto_o he_o that_o they_o may_v not_o despair_v he_o forthwith_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v &_o know_v the_o very_a end_n of_o all_o tribulation_n for_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o overcome_v of_o death_n but_o have_v overcome_v it_o show_v himself_o triumphant_a which_o thing_n he_o declare_v by_o these_o word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o very_a deed_n dead_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o yet_o quicken_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o also_o mean_v s._n paul_n when_o he_o write_v that_o he_o suffer_v in_o the_o humility_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n now_o to_o the_o end_n the_o faithful_a may_v understand_v that_o the_o self_n same_o power_n belong_v unto_o they_o he_o go_v on_o far_a and_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v bestow_v this_o power_n upon_o other_o and_o not_o only_o on_o the_o quick_a but_o also_o upon_o the_o dead_a and_o beside_o not_o only_o upon_o his_o servant_n but_o also_o upon_o the_o faithless_a and_o despiser_n of_o his_o grace_n moreover_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o this_o be_v a_o maim_a kind_n of_o speech_n and_o want_v one_o of_o his_o two_o branch_n of_o which_o sort_n be_v many_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o chief_o when_o many_o sentence_n be_v gather_v together_o under_o one_o conclusion_n as_o here_o be_v do_v neither_o yet_o let_v any_o man_n think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o holy_a father_n be_v shut_v up_o in_o prison_n who_o look_v for_o the_o redemption_n that_o shall_v be_v obtain_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o because_o they_o behold_v a_o far_o of_o the_o light_n as_o it_o be_v under_o a_o cloud_n or_o shadow_n as_o they_o do_v which_o behold_v

reveal_v unto_o they_o wherein_o they_o may_v repose_v themselves_o he_o call_v their_o hope_n a_o prison_n or_o dungeon_n the_o meaning_n then_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v this_o that_o jesus_n christ_n preach_v in_o spirit_n unto_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o prison_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o redemption_n obtain_v by_o jesus_n christ_n appear_v and_o be_v manifest_v unto_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o dead_a here_o want_v the_o other_o branch_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o faithful_a who_o have_v know_v &_o taste_v of_o this_o fruit_n and_o set_v out_o the_o other_o

the_o which_o they_o be_v shut_v out_o and_o therefore_o what_o thing_n can_v they_o else_o look_v for_o but_o utter_a desperation_n i_o see_v already_o how_o these_o man_n murmur_v &_o grudge_n that_o i_o have_v devise_v this_o gloze_n of_o my_o own_o head_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v unto_o any_o such_o law_n well_o i_o will_v not_o tie_v they_o to_o my_o law_n but_o i_o will_v
