some_o there_o be_v that_o do_v oppose_v this_o truth_n other_o that_o pervert_v it_o some_o there_o be_v that_o oppose_v it_o and_o those_o be_v our_o adversary_n the_o romanist_n first_o in_o set_v up_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o second_o in_o cry_v up_o the_o father_n and_o the_o counsel_n for_o our_o faith_n how_o can_v this_o be_v but_o false_a if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n first_o therefore_o for_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n who_o will_v sit_v like_o a_o emperor_n and_o take_v up_o any_o controversy_n belove_v we_o know_v controversy_n on_o foot_n which_o he_o can_v decide_v between_o the_o franciscan_n and_o dominican_n about_o the_o assumption_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o the_o like_a either_o he_o can_v or_o dare_v not_o end_v they_o for_o fear_n of_o lose_v either_o side_n but_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n have_v not_o some_o of_o their_o pope_n be_v pronounce_v heretic_n by_o general_a counsel_n and_o yet_o these_o man_n must_v know_v all_o thing_n one_o of_o they_o can_v not_o read_v saint_n matthews_n gospel_n and_o yet_o these_o must_v be_v save_v they_o will_v pluck_v out_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o see_v by_o other_o man_n and_o how_o can_v this_o be_v if_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o then_o again_o they_o will_v cry_v up_o the_o father_n and_o counsel_n but_o when_o all_o be_v do_v they_o do_v but_o abuse_v we_o and_o the_o father_n will_v be_v find_v to_o err_v when_o all_o come_v to_o light_v be_v there_o not_o some_o of_o they_o that_o hold_v dangerous_a and_o heretical_a opinion_n but_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o uncover_v our_o forefather_n nakedness_n if_o i_o must_v i_o will_v take_v you_o off_o from_o adore_v it_o rise_v up_o to_o it_o and_o too_o much_o reverence_v it_o cyprian_n be_v for_o rebaptisation_n saint_n austin_n be_v once_o of_o opinion_n that_o child_n shall_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o well_o as_o other_o of_o age_n and_o origen_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o spirit_n have_v hand_n and_o flesh_n and_o eye_n and_o justin_n martyr_n but_o i_o rather_o cover_v they_o in_o silence_n but_o that_o the_o papist_n do_v incite_v we_o the_o father_n be_v but_o a_o partial_a no_o infallible_a rule_n again_o as_o some_o do_v oppose_v this_o point_n so_o some_o do_v pervert_v it_o so_o the_o papist_n they_o pervert_v it_o and_o say_v because_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n therefore_o we_o must_v have_v tradition_n for_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o this_o they_o do_v but_o as_o we_o say_v bring_v coal_n to_o newcastle_n or_o light_v a_o candle_n to_o the_o sun_n by_o bring_v their_o tradition_n to_o be_v prove_v by_o this_o scripture_n second_o the_o anabaptist_n they_o pervert_v it_o and_o conclude_v from_o hence_o because_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n therefore_o we_o will_v look_v for_o revelation_n from_o above_o and_o thereupon_o they_o cast_v by_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o look_v for_o revelation_n from_o heaven_n god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v countenance_v any_o such_o spirit_n as_o these_o be_v for_o what_o be_v there_o to_o be_v know_v but_o what_o be_v fetch_v out_o of_o god_n word_n three_o other_o forsooth_o that_o be_v lazy_a christian_n will_v say_v if_o i_o turn_v over_o the_o book_n of_o god_n never_o so_o much_o i_o shall_v know_v but_o in_o part_n therefore_o i_o will_v know_v nothing_o at_o all_o like_o little_a child_n if_o you_o take_v away_o one_o of_o their_o trinket_n they_o will_v throw_v all_o the_o rest_n away_o or_o because_o one_o man_n give_v i_o a_o box_n on_o the_o ear_n therefore_o i_o will_v sue_v he_o and_o because_o i_o may_v not_o have_v five_o hundred_o pound_n damage_n therefore_o i_o will_v have_v nothing_o at_o all_o this_o be_v like_o the_o hangman_n that_o first_o blind_v the_o malefactor_n eye_n and_o then_o turn_v he_o off_o this_o be_v it_o make_v the_o jew_n crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n for_o have_v they_o know_v it_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v it_o the_o candle_n must_v be_v put_v out_o or_o else_o put_v into_o the_o dark_a lantern_n say_v the_o papist_n we_o must_v not_o see_v what_o mischief_n be_v towards_o this_o ignorance_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o way_n to_o hell_n to_o utter_v darkness_n if_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n first_o let_v we_o follow_v man_n but_o in_o part_n turn_v over_o antiquity_n borrow_v authority_n from_o the_o father_n they_o will_v be_v good_a moral_a persuasion_n and_o induction_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o truth_n but_o bring_v all_o to_o the_o scripture_n weigh_v it_o by_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o no._n and_o where_o they_o speak_v that_o which_o be_v contradictory_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n let_v we_o prefer_v truth_n before_o the_o father_n christ_n say_v not_o i_o be_o antiquity_n or_o i_o be_o custom_n but_o i_o be_o truth_n second_o if_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n let_v we_o add_v some_o cubit_n to_o our_o knowledge_n knowledge_n be_v like_a unto_o heaven_n it_o be_v very_o glorious_a if_o we_o can_v see_v it_o and_o we_o must_v first_o know_v the_o will_n of_o our_o father_n before_o we_o can_v do_v it_o this_o be_v the_o first_o step_n to_o know_v what_o god_n be_v and_o to_o know_v what_o ourselves_o be_v first_o begin_v with_o knowledge_n then_o go_v on_o with_o practice_n first_o know_v the_o truth_n and_o then_o adhere_v to_o it_o and_o then_o defend_v it_o to_o the_o death_n let_v we_o add_v knowledge_n unto_o our_o knowledge_n but_o as_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n let_v we_o be_v wise_a also_o take_v heed_n of_o enter_v rough_o into_o the_o cabinet_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o gaze_v too_o high_a i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v search_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o study_v they_o free_o but_o what_o mystery_n god_n have_v reserve_v unto_o himself_o meddle_v not_o with_o they_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o then_o again_o make_v amends_o for_o thy_o want_n of_o knowledge_n by_o thy_o faith_n believe_v if_o god_n have_v say_v it_o set_v thy_o seal_n of_o faith_n unto_o it_o he_o say_v luther_n that_o will_v be_v wise_a in_o aristotle_n be_v a_o fool_n in_o christ_n and_o a_o pope_n do_v once_o say_v that_o piscatores_fw-la and_o not_o philosopher_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v they_o that_o say_v they_o know_v much_o know_v nothing_o say_v solomon_n and_o saint_n paul_n the_o empty_a hogshead_n sound_v most_o and_o the_o shallow_a water_n make_v the_o great_a noise_n non_fw-la est_fw-la etc._n etc._n this_o be_v no_o true_a knowledge_n but_o a_o swell_a and_o excrescency_n in_o the_o six_o place_n we_o must_v practice_v what_o we_o know_v if_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n let_v we_o make_v amends_o for_o our_o partial_a knowledge_n in_o practise_v what_o we_o know_v and_o whatsoever_o else_o you_o know_v be_v sure_a to_o know_v those_o thing_n that_o concern_v your_o eternal_a salvation_n what_o be_v it_o for_o man_n to_o be_v scrupulous_a in_o leave_v out_o h_n in_o homo_fw-la and_o yet_o will_v take_v away_o a_o man_n this_o be_v the_o only_a true_a arithmetic_n to_o number_v our_o day_n that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n that_o be_v the_o true_a astronomy_n this_o be_v it_o indeed_o that_o we_o must_v discourse_v of_o what_o be_v it_o then_o to_o deserve_v our_o supremacy_n in_o logic_n to_o be_v overcome_v in_o arithmetic_n to_o talk_v of_o generation_n and_o have_v not_o regeneration_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o know_v but_o we_o must_v practice_v if_o you_o know_v these_o thing_n happy_a be_v you_o if_o you_o do_v they_o belove_a how_o many_o

for_o shame_n make_v it_o up_o by_o your_o practice_n he_o that_o practise_v what_o he_o know_v god_n will_v make_v he_o to_o know_v more_o some_o know_v to_o instruct_v other_o that_o be_v charity_n some_o know_v to_o practice_n and_o that_o be_v piety_n some_o know_v for_o affectation_n and_o that_o be_v pride_n knowledge_n make_v a_o man_n worse_o rather_o than_o better_a unless_o he_o
