religion_n have_v shine_v with_o the_o great_a glory_n of_o miracle_n of_o wisdom_n and_o of_o sanctity_n of_o her_o follower_n throughout_o all_o former_a age_n and_o do_v at_o this_o day_n also_o

the_o old_a testament_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o be_v change_v and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o pass_v from_o a_o shadow_n to_o the_o truth_n or_o from_o a_o type_n or_o pattern_n to_o the_o true_a

the_o new_a testament_n when_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v clear_o denounce_v that_o there_o thalbe_n no_o more_o change_n make_v but_o that_o god_n will_v be_v present_a with_o she_o for_o her_o assistance_n to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o she_o for_o what_o wisdom_n be_v it_o for_o any_o man_n to_o believe_v so_o great_a a_o

without_o miracle_n and_o unless_o we_o do_v believe_v all_o upon_o their_o bare_a word_n they_o present_o raise_v up_o grievous_a presecution_n against_o us._n but_o they_o will_v say_v scripture_n

these_o our_o controversy_n &_o so_o can_v not_o be_v any_o way_n partial_a therein_o again_o their_o argument_n like_v unto_o spider_n web_n be_v very_o easy_o dissolve_v by_o catholic_a doctor_n beside_o that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o new_a reformer_n spring_v up_o within_o these_o 80._o or_o 90._o year_n so_o many_o repayrer_n of_o the_o decay_a church_n so_o many_o reniver_n of_o the_o

of_o all_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v or_o of_o none_o and_o last_o see_v that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v unless_o scripture_n say_v it_o where_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v it_o say_v that_o you_o or_o he_o or_o such_o a_o one_o be_v send_v of_o god_n for_o the_o reform_v and_o restore_v of_o the_o decay_a church_n and_o religion_n they_o will_v say_v follower_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n to_o have_v many_o follower_n perhaps_o that_o they_o want_v not_o miracle_n for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a miracle_n that_o in_o so_o short_a time_n so_o many_o have_v embrace_v this_o new_a gospel_n and_o this_o perhaps_o may_v have_v some_o colour_n if_o their_o religion_n be_v more_o austere_a and_o strict_a unto_o the_o flesh_n then_o be_v the_o catholic_a but_o see_v that_o this_o their_o new_a doctrine_n do_v banish_v all_o austerity_n and_o sharpness_n of_o the_o catholic_a religion_n and_o give_v all_o liberty_n to_o the_o flesh_n what_o miracle_n be_v it_o if_o many_o follow_v and_o embrace_v the_o same_o what_o marvel_n be_v it_o if_o weighty_a thing_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n when_o as_o their_o prop_n be_v take_v away_o or_o that_o have_v run_v
