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

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

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

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
