the_o cause_n why_o paul_n do_v loathe_v his_o life_n may_v easy_o be_v assign_v because_o the_o jew_n in_o every_o place_n do_v seek_v he_o to_o molest_v but_o those_o which_o in_o this_o world_n

likewise_o flee_v so_o do_v king_n david_n flee_v when_o saul_n do_v seek_v he_o to_o annoy_v yea_o christ_n himself_o who_o in_o our_o deed_n to_o follow_v we_o may_v joy_v do_v secret_o conuaigh_v himself_o from_o jew_n so_o full_a of_o hate_n when_o they_o think_v from_o the_o top_n of_o hill_n he_o to_o precipitate_v wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o a_o man_n for_o to_o defend_v and_o keep_v himself_o from_o death_n so_o long_o as_o nature_n give_v he_o leave_v conscience_n the_o same_o who_o you_o recite_v have_v conceive_v a_o further_a end_n then_o to_o themselves_o to_o

among_o the_o psalm_n it_o better_a be_v to_o trust_v in_o god_n then_o that_o our_o confidence_n we_o settle_v shall_v in_o man_n wherefore_o to_o this_o which_o i_o now_o say_v of_o force_n

god_n be_v merciful_a when_o man_n no_o mercy_n show_v thus_o have_v i_o plead_v in_o this_o cause_n sufficient_o i_o trow_v conscience_n how_o can_v you_o say_v you_o trust_v in_o god_n whenas_o you_o he_o forsake_v and_o of_o the_o wicked_a mammon_n here_o do_v make_v your_o feign_a friend_n no_o no_o these_o word_n which_o you_o recite_v against_o you_o most_o make_v for_o thus_o he_o

best_a believe_v philologus_n i_o like_v thy_o word_n but_o that_o to_o lose_v these_o joy_n it_o will_v i_o grieve_v conscience_n and_o where_o suggestion_n tell_v thou_o that_o god_n in_o mercy_n flow_n yet_o be_v he_o just_a sin_n to_o correct_v and_o true_a in_o that_o he_o speak_v wherefore_o he_o say_v who_o so_o my_o name_n before_o man_n shall_v not_o know_v i_o shall_v not_o know_v he_o whenas_o judge_n i_o shall_v sit_v in_o my_o seat_n this_o if_o you_o call_v to_o mind_n it_o will_v your_o proud_a presumption_n break_v again_o he_o say_v who_o so_o his_o life_n or_o good_n will_v

demand_n according_a to_o my_o conscience_n god_n word_n be_v my_o warrant_n cardinal_n to_o begin_v therefore_o orderly_o how_o say_v thou_o philologus_n have_v i_o authority_n to_o call_v the_o i_o before_o or_o to_o be_v short_a i_o will_v object_v it_o thus_o whether_o have_v the_o pope_n which_o be_v peter_n successor_n then_o all_o other_o bishop_n pre-eminence_n more_o if_o not_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o neither_o he_o nor_o i_o which_o be_o his_o legate_n to_o account_n may_v call_v thou_o philologus_n the_o question_n be_v perilous_a for_o i_o to_o determine_v chief_o when_o the_o party_n be_v judge_n in_o the_o cause_n yet_o if_o the_o whole_a course_v of_o scripture_n you_o examine_v and_o will_v be_v try_v by_o god_n holy_a law_n small_a help_n shall_v you_o find_v to_o defend_v the_o same_o cause_n but_o the_o contrary_n may_v be_v prove_v manifest_o as_o i_o in_o short_a word_n will_v prove_v to_o you_o brief_o the_o sure_a ground_n whereon_o your_o pope_n do_v stand_v be_v of_o peter_n be_v at_o room_n a_o strong_a imagination_n and_o the_o same_o peter_n you_o do_v understand_v of_o all_o the_o disciple_n have_v the_o gubernation_n surmise_v both_o without_o good_a approbation_n unless_o you_o will_v by_o the_o name_n of_o babylon_n from_o whence_o peter_n write_v be_v understand_v room_n as_o indeed_o diverse_a of_o your_o writer_n have_v affirm_v recite_v jeromy_n austin_n primasius_n and_o ambrose_n who_o by_o their_o several_a write_n have_v confirm_v that_o rome_n be_v new_a babylon_n i_o may_v it_o not_o gloze_v but_o it_o be_v

that_o peter_n in_o room_n settle_v be_v yet_o that_o he_o be_v chief_a it_o remain_v you_o to_o prove_v for_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o if_o any_o among_o they_o to_o rule_v it_o do_v behoove_v he_o shall_v be_v chief_a who_o christ_n most_o do_v love_v to_o who_o he_o bequeath_v his_o mother_n most_o dear_a to_o who_o in_o revelation_n christ_n do_v also_o

steadfast_a faith_n so_o often_o time_n remove_v but_o grant_v all_o be_v true_a herein_o you_o do_v fain_v mark_v one_o proper_a lesson_n of_o a_o greek_a orator_n as_o a_o good_a child_n of_o his_o father_n wealth_n be_v inheritor_n so_o of_o his_o father_n virtue_n he_o must_v be_v possessor_n now_o peter_n follow_v christ_n and_o all_o worldly_a good_n forsake_v but_o the_o pope_n leave_v christ_n and_o himself_o to_o glory_n take_v and_o to_o be_v short_a christ_n himself_o refuse_v to_o be_v a_o king_n and_o the_o servant_n above_o the_o master_n may_v not_o be_v which_o be_v both_o true_a it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n how_o the_o pope_n can_v receive_v this_o pomp_n and_o dignity_n and_o yet_o profess_v himself_o christ_n servant_n to_o be_v christ_n will_v be_v no_o king_n the_o pope_n will_v be_v more_o the_o pope_n be_v christ_n master_n not_o his_o servant_n therefore_o cardinal_n ah_o thou_o arrant_a heretic_n i_o will_v thou_o remember_v i_o be_o glad_a i_o know_v
