the_o apostle_n our_o true_a father_n and_o that_o as_o many_o as_o intend_v to_o follow_v that_o faith_n must_v neither_o teach_v nor_o believe_v any_o other_o doctrine_n the_o catholic_n then_o of_o

most_o certain_a and_o true_a if_o you_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v in_o old_a time_n for_o as_o for_o the_o church_n which_o be_v now_o a_o day_n wherein_o the_o

of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o romish_a catholic_n of_o these_o day_n do_v follow_v the_o faith_n of_o that_o church_n ¶_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o romish_a catholic_n do_v reckon_v and_o esteem_v to_o be_v good_a work_n and_o be_v not_o the_o four_o chapter_n i_o have_v can_v you_o here_o before_o that_o the_o romish_a catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n do_v disagree_v about_o the_o define_n of_o good_a work_n for_o the_o protestant_n account_v those_o only_a to_o be_v good_a work_n which_o concern_v the_o obey_v of_o god_n commandment_n but_o the_o catholic_n do_v not_o only_o reckon_v those_o to_o be_v good_a work_n which_o concern_v the_o obey_v of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o also_o those_o that_o concern_v the_o obey_v of_o the_o tradition_n &_o commandment_n of_o man_n of_o which_o tradition_n say_v they_o some_o have_v be_v institute_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o because_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o they_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o have_v recourse_n to_o a_o distinction_n invent_v by_o the_o sophister_n say_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o one_o write_v and_o the_o other_o unwritten_a write_v and_o under_o this_o kind_n of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god_n they_o will_v comprehend_v the_o most_o part_n of_o their_o tradition_n but_o this_o distinction_n be_v very_o easy_o answer_v namely_o that_o those_o tradition_n which_o they_o call_v the_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god_n as_o holy_a water_n lent_n the_o worship_v of_o the_o cross_n the_o hallow_n of_o altar_n and_o such_o other_o like_a be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god_n the_o same_o can_v be_v repugnant_a to_o that_o which_o be_v write_v as_o these_o tradition_n be_v also_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v by_o the_o write_n of_o historiographer_n and_o other_o author_n who_o they_o be_v that_o first_o do_v set_v forth_o such_o tradition_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v father_v upon_o the_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god._n three_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a and_o sufficient_a to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o that_o no_o article_n of_o faith_n ought_v to_o be_v father_v upon_o the_o unwritten_a word_n but_o only_o at_o the_o most_o some_o such_o point_n as_o concern_v the_o order_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n but_o yet_o under_o pretence_n of_o the_o same_o distinction_n the_o papist_n think_v that_o to_o say_v and_o hear_v mas_o to_o sing_v and_o say_v suffrage_n for_o the_o dead_a to_o geve_v legacy_n and_o offering_n unto_o priest_n to_o go_v on_o pilgrimage_n to_o saint_n to_o offer_v candle_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o fall_v flat_a before_o the_o image_n of_o they_o to_o abstain_v at_o certain_a time_n in_o the_o year_n from_o eat_v of_o flesh_n to_o live_v solitary_o within_o a_o cloister_n and_o to_o wear_v their_o garment_n after_o some_o strange_a fashion_n and_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n be_v good_a work_n and_o meritorious_a to_o gain_v paradise_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v reckon_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a work_n be_v part_o because_o they_o do_v pretend_v that_o god_n have_v command_v they_o by_o his_o unwritten_a word_n as_o before_o be_v say_v and_o partly_o for_o that_o say_v they_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o perfection_n when_o one_o do_v not_o only_o all_o that_o which_o god_n command_v but_o also_o more_o than_o he_o do_v command_v for_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o do_v so_o abound_v in_o good_a work_n that_o many_o of_o they_o do_v more_o than_o be_v needful_a to_o salvation_n &_o may_v therefore_o spare_v some_o part_n of_o they_o to_o other_o good_a christian_n which_o do_v to_o few_o in_o recompense_n of_o their_o temporal_a god_n which_o they_o receive_v of_o they_o but_o hereunto_o the_o protestant_n do_v answer_n that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n without_o charge_v himself_o far_o sith_o there_o yet_o be_v never_o man_n that_o can_v perform_v they_o thorough_o much_o less_o do_v more_o notwithstanding_o the_o protestant_n grant_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o common_o man_n do_v more_o than_o they_o be_v command_v but_o their_o so_o do_v be_v but_o sin_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o leave_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n undo_v and_o therefore_o this_o do_v of_o more_o than_o god_n command_v be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o virtue_n as_o the_o roman_a catholic_n esteem_v it_o to_o be_v for_o see_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a as_o the_o author_n of_o they_o be_v perfect_a so_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o comprehend_v all_o good_a work_n and_o so_o consequent_o that_o all_o such_o work_n as_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o good_a again_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v esteem_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a which_o god_n command_v and_o account_v those_o thing_n for_o ill_a which_o he_o forbid_v without_o go_v any_o far_o for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v set_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o good_a and_o ill_a and_o betwixt_o vice_n and_o virtue_n and_o which_o have_v imprint_v the_o knowledge_n thereof_o in_o man_n understanding_n even_o from_o his_o creation_n by_o reason_n whereof_o whereas_o we_o deem_v it_o good_a to_o honour_v one_o god_n to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n &_o not_o to_o do_v otherwise_o then_o we_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o these_o &_o such_o like_a do_v proceed_v &_o depend_v upon_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n ordinance_n which_o have_v set_v that_o order_n and_o distinction_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o by_o consequent_a virtue_n be_v good_a and_o vice_n be_v ill_a because_o that_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v &_o establish_v that_o order_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v call_v those_o good_a work_n which_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v good_a work_n by_o his_o word_n and_o ordinance_n neither_o may_v man_n judgement_n so_o much_o presume_v of_o itself_o as_o to_o term_v that_o a_o good_a thing_n which_o he_o be_v not_o sure_a to_o be_v so_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o to_o be_v desirous_a that_o god_n shall_v allow_v those_o thing_n for_o good_a which_o our_o fancy_n dream_v to_o be_v good_a without_o have_v any_o warrant_n thereof_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v a_o embase_v of_o the_o creator_n beneath_o the_o creature_n sort_n moreover_o the_o protestant_n do_v say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n may_v win_v heaven_n by_o these_o pretend_a good_a work_n as_o the_o romish_a catholic_n hold_a opinion_n it_o will_v then_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a for_o the_o rich_a man_n to_o attain_v to_o it_o than_o for_o for_o the_o poor_a for_o the_o rich_a have_v better_o wherewith_o to_o cause_v mass_n to_o be_v say_v and_o to_o be_v liberal_a in_o give_v to_o priest_n and_o to_o maintain_v long_a journey_n on_o pilgrimage_n and_o to_o buy_v good_a fish_n that_o they_o may_v the_o better_o forbear_v flesh_n in_o the_o lend_a time_n and_o to_o do_v such_o other_o like_o work_n so_o as_o by_o this_o reckon_n the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v open_a to_o the_o rich_fw-fr and_o shut_v against_o the_o poor_a by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o wealthy_a man_n shall_v be_v happy_a both_o in_o

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

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

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
