the_o lord_n thy_o god_n etc_n etc_n and_o the_o romish_a catholic_n do_v contrariwise_o say_v that_o in_o some_o week_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o labour_v past_o three_o or_o four_o day_n or_o five_o at_o the_o most_o for_o the_o rest_n say_v they_o of_o the_o six_o ought_v to_o be_v employ_v idle_o in_o keep_v they_o holy_a and_o feastful_a to_o the_o saint_n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o be_v

i_o know_v well_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a law_n of_o moses_n they_o do_v make_v more_o rest_a day_n than_o the_o seven_o which_o be_v call_v the_o sabaoth_n day_n as_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o trumpet_n of_o unleavened_a bread_n of_o easter_n &_o such_o other_o like_v but_o the_o answer_n hereunto_o be_v that_o such_o feast_n be_v command_v by_o the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o those_o feast_n which_o be_v celebrate_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n otherwise_o in_o all_o the_o say_a feast_n of_o the_o old_a law_n the_o people_n do_v not_o loiter_v from_o their_o work_n yea_o and_o even_o in_o the_o christian_a primative_a church_n man_n may_v work_v in_o tillage_n upon_o the_o sunday_n sunday_n as_o it_o

honourable_a day_n of_o sunday_n but_o let_v it_o be_v free_a and_o lawful_a for_o the_o husbandman_n to_o labour_n in_o till_v the_o earth_n for_o often_o time_n it_o happen_v that_o on_o the_o other_o day_n the_o weather_n serve_v they_o not_o so_o well_o to_o sow_v their_o corn_n and_o to_o dres_z their_o vine_n lest_o by_o overhip_v so_o small_a space_n of_o time_n they_o may_v lose_v the_o commodity_n give_v they_o by_o the_o heavenly_a providence_n give_v the_o second_o day_n of_o march_n in_o the_o year_n of_o the_o second_o consulship_n of_o crispe_n constantine_n but_o there_o be_v a_o canon_n take_v out_o of_o s._n gregory_n which_o proceed_v yet_o further_o and_o say_v moreover_o that_o those_o which_o teach_v to_o abstain_v from_o work_n upon_o the_o saturday_n and_o

have_v sow_v among_o you_o some_o point_n of_o doctrine_n contrary_n to_o the_o holy_a faith_n command_v man_n to_o abstain_v from_o work_v upon_o the_o sunday_n who_o what_o else_o may_v we_o call_v than_o preacher_n of_o antichrist_n who_o at_o his_o come_n will_v cause_v man_n to_o rest_n from_o all_o labour_n both_o upon_o the_o saturday_n and_o sunday_n too_o this_o canon_n do_v plain_o condemn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n which_o hold_v opinion_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n upon_o the_o sunday_n nor_o on_o the_o holiday_n throughout_o the_o whole_a year_n the_o protestant_n do_v in_o deed_n confess_v that_o the_o sunday_n ought_v to_o be_v employ_v rather_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n than_o in_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o travel_n and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o observe_v that_o order_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o by_o rest_v on_o that_o day_n folk_n may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o go_v through_o with_o their_o work_n upon_o all_o the_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o to_o bind_v man_n conscience_n to_o that_o order_n be_v no_o better_a than_o to_o make_v they_o jew_n and_o although_o the_o romish_a catholic_n find_v fault_n with_o man_n for_o labour_v upon_o the_o sunday_n and_o the_o other_o feastedayes_o yet_o do_v they_o suffer_v usurer_n and_o merchant_n to_o use_v their_o traffic_n and_o to_o make_v bond_n bargain_n contract_n payment_n and_o receipt_n of_o money_n upon_o their_o holiday_n so_o as_o it_o be_v common_o see_v that_o the_o time_n which_o be_v choose_v for_o the_o make_n of_o obligation_n and_o such_o other_o bond_n and_o bargain_n be_v the_o sunday_n and_o the_o other_o feastdaies_o and_o that_o the_o time_n appoint_v for_o payment_n of_o money_n be_v general_o upon_o the_o feastdaye_n and_o yet_o if_o now_o a_o day_n any_o poor_a protestant_n shall_v labour_v six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o the_o field_n or_o in_o his_o shop_n to_o obey_v god_n and_o to_o maintain_v his_o poor_a family_n by_o and_o by_o they_o will_v cry_v out_o that_o he_o be_v a_o heretic_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v burn_v or_o banish_v and_o why_o so_o be_v it_o heresy_n to_o

their_o spew_v out_o of_o such_o speech_n be_v against_o god_n himself_o who_o will_v one_o day_n well_o cause_n they_o to_o feel_v his_o terrible_a judgement_n and_o make_v they_o know_v that_o he_o be_v jealous_a of_o his_o honour_n and_o a_o revenger_n of_o the_o despite_n do_v to_o his_o commandment_n the_o nine_o commandment_n also_o be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o catholic_n sophister_n commandment_n for_o god_n do_v utter_o and_o simple_o forbid_v to_o lie_v and_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o lie_v for_o a_o good_a intent_n and_o not_o only_o to_o tell_v a_o lie_n by_o report_v some_o untruth_n but_o also_o to_o break_v both_o promise_n and_o oath_n to_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o natural_a reason_n whereby_o the_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n have_v be_v bring_v in_o which_o will_v that_o both_o the_o public_a and_o private_a promise_n shall_v be_v religious_o observe_v &_o keep_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o human_a society_n and_o it_o be_v also_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o not_o only_o reprove_v li_v but_o also_o threaten_v the_o liar_n with_o damnation_n and_o command_v we_o to_o keep_v our_o promise_n even_o though_o it_o be_v to_o our_o own_o disadvantage_n also_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o canon_n law_n which_o say_v that_o all_o kind_n of_o lie_n be_v sin_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o keep_v our_o oath_n &_o promise_n man_n even_o with_o our_o enemy_n against_o who_o we_o make_v war_n 1._o for_o as_o the_o canon_n say_v express_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o seek_v peace_n to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v war_n but_o to_o the_o end_n to_o gain_v peace_n and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o the_o romish_a catholic_n have_v well_o observe_v these_o canon_n for_o than_o have_v not_o we_o frenchman_n fall_v into_o the_o calamity_n and_o ruin_v which_o we_o now_o be_v fall_v into_o the_o other_o commandment_n likewise_o have_v be_v great_o corrupt_v by_o these_o sophister_n papist_n which_o name_n then selue_o catholic_n as_o namely_o the_o seven_o commandment_n which_o forbid_v adultery_n have_v be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o goodly_a counsel_n of_o tollette_n and_o by_o isodorus_n which_o say_v thus_o a_o christian_n may_v not_o have_v two_o wife_n 4._o nor_o more_o than_o two_o but_o one_o only_a but_o if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o wife_n he_o may_v have_v a_o concubine_n which_o doctrine_n the_o pope_n &_o his_o upholder_n have_v canonise_v and_o confirm_v thereby_o the_o better_a and_o more_o easy_o to_o maintain_v their_o shameful_a lechery_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o seven_o commandment_n and_o also_o the_o ancient_a canon_n prohibit_v all_o dwelling_n or_o match_v together_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n save_v only_o in_o marriage_n wherefore_o for_o a_o conclusion_n upon_o this_o point_n it_o appear_v open_o that_o the_o protestaunte_n retain_v god_n commandment_n in_o their_o pureness_n and_o soundness_n without_o take_v aught_o from_o they_o whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o be_v see_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v the_o best_a the_o ancient_a and_o the_o far_a from_o error_n according_a to_o our_o foresaid_a maxim_n ❧_o of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n the_o vi_fw-la chapter_n although_o the_o romish_a catholic_n hold_a opinion_n that_o there_o be_v seven_o sacrament_n yet_o not_o withstand_v to_o avoid_v tediousness_n we_o will_v speak_v here_o but_o of_o two_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o touch_v baptism_n the_o catholic_n and_o the_o protestaunte_n do_v well_o agree_v in_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o be_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o the_o sign_n of_o water_n but_o they_o do_v differ_v very_o much_o in_o the_o other_o point_n and_o ceremony_n for_o the_o catholic_n believe_v that_o if_o a_o child_n die_v before_o he_o be_v baptize_v he_o can_v be_v save_v and_o that_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n woman_n may_v baptise_v and_o they_o will_v have_v baptism_n minister_v with_o conjure_a water_n such_o

as_o have_v be_v keep_v all_o the_o year_n in_o a_o vessel_n which_o they_o call_v a_o font_n within_o the_o church_n affirm_v that_o the_o evil_a spirit_n be_v conjure_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o little_a infant_n which_o be_v baptize_v and_o that_o they_o must_v be_v hold_v all_o naked_a over_o the_o fonte_fw-la in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o christen_n and_o that_o both_o salt_n and_o spittle_n shall_v be_v put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o babe_n all_o which_o thing_n the_o protestaunt_n do_v utter_o disallow_v because_o as_o touch_v the_o infant_n which_o die_v unchristened_a if_o they_o belong_v to_o god_n election_n which_o go_v both_o before_o their_o nativity_n &_o also_o before_o their_o conception_n they_o be_v with_o he_o and_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o salvation_n although_o they_o die_v unbaptized_a for_o god_n election_n can_v be_v disappoint_v beside_o this_o it_o be_v not_o their_o fault_n if_o they_o be_v not_o baptize_v but_o the_o negligence_n of_o their_o parent_n or_o by_o chance_n of_o sudden_a death_n and_o as_o concern_v woman_n their_o sect_n and_o nature_n do_v exclude_v they_o from_o public_a charge_n which_o only_o belong_v unto_o man_n and_o therefore_o be_v they_o altogether_o unmeet_a either_o to_o preach_v in_o church_n or_o to_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n and_o touch_v the_o child_n of_o infidel_n it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a to_o receive_v they_o into_o the_o church_n to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n until_o they_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v their_o head_n and_o make_v cnofession_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o consequent_o be_v of_o convenient_a year_n because_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o unbelieve_a parent_n they_o have_v not_o warrant_v or_o witness_v that_o they_o belong_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n neither_o do_v the_o protestant_n allow_v the_o forementioned_a ceremony_n and_o their_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o they_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n whereof_o and_o whereby_o we_o receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o generation_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o baptism_n without_o the_o aid_n of_o hallow_a water_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o other_o ceremony_n nay_o which_o more_o be_v they_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o defile_n of_o the_o holy_a baptism_n to_o add_v thereunto_o any_o other_o ceremony_n than_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n &_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v minister_v pure_o and_o simple_o according_a to_o his_o ordinance_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v this_o honour_n unto_o god_n namely_o to_o believe_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v ordain_v be_v perfect_a and_o that_o thereto_o there_o ought_v nothing_o to_o be_v add_v nor_o aught_o take_v away_o and_o therefore_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o in_o this_o point_n of_o baptism_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o protestant_n do_v much_o better_a yield_v god_n his_o due_a honour_n than_o do_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n for_o the_o protestant_n mind_v not_o to_o restrain_v the_o election_n of_o god_n to_o those_o only_o which_o be_v baptize_v but_o do_v extend_v it_o to_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o reasonable_a to_o be_v believe_v that_o if_o the_o father_n and_o moother_n be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o god_n their_o child_n be_v so_o likewise_o but_o the_o romish_a catholic_n do_v hold_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o child_n which_o die_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v be_v not_o of_o the_o household_n of_o god_n although_o their_o father_n and_o moother_n be_v again_o whereas_o the_o catholic_n enable_v woman_n to_o baptise_v which_o they_o call_v christen_v child_n in_o do_v whereof_o they_o commit_v unto_o they_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a charge_n in_o god_n house_n to_o wit_n the_o minister_a of_o the_o sacrament_n whereby_o we_o be_v graff_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n church_n and_o make_v the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o meyny_n of_o

and_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n neither_o they_o nor_o their_o parent_n but_o also_o bestow_v baptism_n upon_o bell_n after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o they_o then selue_o have_v invent_v for_o it_o the_o protestant_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o defile_v god_n house_n so_o much_o as_o to_o receive_v infidel_n into_o it_o or_o to_o avow_v those_o to_o be_v the_o member_n of_o

of_o a_o body_n as_o acknowledge_v not_o the_o head_n there_o of_o final_o the_o protestant_n yield_v this_o honour_n unto_o holy_a baptism_n institute_v by_o god_n that_o they_o will_v in_o no_o

beside_o this_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v teach_v we_o 7.14_o that_o christ_n receive_v little_a child_n which_o be_v not_o baptize_v and_o that_o he_o pronounce_v of_o they_o that_o the_o

to_o usurp_v any_o charge_n or_o degree_n of_o honour_n 3.27_o without_o lawful_a call_n thereunto_o and_o the_o same_o word_n do_v declare_v further_o unto_o we_o that_o those_o which_o do_v not_o

the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n apostle_n baptism_n be_v always_o minister_v with_o common_a water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o

for_o certain_a degree_n of_o sin_n because_o the_o truth_n say_v that_o if_o any_o man_n have_v blaspheme_v the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n

against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o pardon_v in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v the_o romish_a catholic_n or_o rather_o the_o schoolman_n and_o sophister_n have_v altogether_o build_v and_o found_v their_o purgatory_n and_o they_o be_v not_o content_v that_o only_o venial_a sin_n shall_v there_o be_v purge_v as_o s._n gregory_n will_v but_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o to_o serve_v for_o the_o do_v away_o of_o deadly_a sin_n also_o either_o by_o remain_v there_o the_o full_a time_n of_o seven_o year_n for_o every_o deadly_a sin_n or_o else_o by_o

to_o purge_v venial_a sin_n according_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a opinion_n of_o s._n gregory_n for_o the_o good_a people_n of_o christendom_n have_v rather_o to_o have_v purge_v themselves_o from_o those_o sin_n with_o holy_a water_n which_o do_v no_o harm_n to_o those_o that_o sprinkle_v themselves_o therewith_o then_o by_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n which_o be_v affirm_v to_o be_v extreme_o
