which_o thy_o adversary_n do_v say_v of_o thy_o doctrine_n and_o they_o admonish_v man_n to_o judge_v of_o this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o fruit_n and_o they_o say_v that_o thou_o and_o thy_o disciple_n do_v yield_v many_o fruit_n of_o thy_o god_n for_o they_o say_v you_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n quarreller_n desirous_a of_o revengement_n long_a keeper_n and_o mindful_a of_o injury_n and_o

one_o thing_n and_o think_v and_o will_v another_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v jest_n you_o imitate_v your_o god_n do_v the_o same_o and_o deceive_v the_o people_n true_o caluine_n i_o do_v once_o favour_n thy_o doctrine_n and_o defend_v it_o albeit_o i_o do_v not_o sufficient_o perceive_v it_o because_o i_o do_v attribute_v so_o much_o to_o thine_o outoritie_n that_o i_o think_v it_o a_o grievous_a sin_n so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v the_o contrary_a but_o now_o have_v hear_v thine_o adversary_n argument_n i_o have_v not_o what_o to_o answer_v in_o deed_n thy_o disciple_n endeavour_v to_o answer_v and_o amongst_o the_o favourer_n which_o they_o have_v they_o brag_v bold_o the_o truth_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o adversary_n they_o quake_v and_o seek_v help_n of_o thy_o

they_o convince_v the_o adversary_n but_o the_o adversary_n argument_n be_v plain_a sharp_a and_o such_o as_o may_v easy_o be_v commit_v to_o memory_n and_o be_v perceive_v of_o the_o unlearned_a and_o such_o almost_o as_o be_v they_o that_o follow_v christ_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o thy_o disciple_n do_v more_o build_v upon_o thy_o authority_n than_o upon_o reason_n and_o when_o they_o can_v overcome_v their_o adversary_n they_o hold_v they_o for_o heretic_n and_o froward_a man_n and_o they_o shun_v their_o company_n and_o every_o where_o move_v all_o man_n to_o shun_v they_o but_o i_o who_o think_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v who_o speak_v but_o what_o be_v speak_v do_v judge_n that_o all_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o all_o thing_n approve_v and_o that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o be_v keep_v wherefore_o caluine_n if_o thou_o haste_v any_o true_a manifest_a and_o strong_a argument_n wherewith_o thine_o adversary_n may_v be_v refel_v i_o pray_v thou_o bring_v they_o

wheresoever_o i_o can_v take_v the_o truth_n i_o be_o ready_a to_o follow_v it_o and_o to_o persuade_v other_o to_o the_o same_o but_o if_o by_o chance_n thou_o have_v err_v for_o we_o be_v man_n i_o pray_v thou_o caluine_n that_o thou_o will_v give_v glory_n to_o god_n that_o shall_v be_v more_o commendable_a to_o thou_o than_o to_o persevere_v in_o error_n but_o he_o not_o displease_v with_o i_o for_o this_o epistle_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o just_a and_o a_o true_a man_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o thou_o will_v first_o because_o it_o be_v for_o thy_o weal_n to_o be_v put_v in_o

other_o fruit_n of_o contumacy_n and_o corruption_n for_o god_n ordain_v to_o destruction_n but_o to_o just_a destruction_n and_o therefore_o albeit_o he_o ordain_v not_o to_o destruction_n for_o corruption_n and_o that_o fruit_n thereof_o but_o because_o he_o so_o see_v it_o good_a who_o will_n albeit_o secret_a yet_o it_o be_v always_o just_a yet_o he_o damn_v not_o except_o for_o

for_o he_o minister_v unto_o they_o wicked_a and_o unhonest_a affertion_n not_o only_o by_o sufferance_n but_o effectual_o and_o he_o harden_v they_o so_o that_o when_o they_o live_v wicked_o they_o
