the_o aforesaid_a doctor_n have_v speak_v from_o their_o heart_n ground_v themselves_o upon_o the_o church_n or_o reason_n their_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n with_o note_n will_v with_o i_o in_o these_o point_n have_v have_v great_a authority_n and_o the_o conclusion_n have_v stand_v good_a whereas_o now_o one_o of_o the_o say_v four_o to_o wit_n gregory_n martin_n have_v deliver_v his_o

in_o that_o point_n their_o mind_n free_o peradventure_o because_o it_o be_v not_o expedient_a for_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n which_o i_o confess_v to_o be_v the_o best_a reason_n yet_o for_o god_n

annotation_n upon_o the_o five_o chapter_n and_o 19_o verse_n of_o the_o 4._o book_n of_o king_n do_v show_v that_o they_o do_v intend_v but_o seem_a reason_n and_o not_o whole_o convince_a for_o whereas_o for_o our_o opinion_n be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v usual_o bring_v the_o example_n of_o 17._o naaman_n the_o syrian_a permit_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o by_o the_o prophet_n elizeus_fw-la to_o go_v to_o the_o idolatrous_a temple_n rimmon_n which_o be_v most_o proper_a to_o our_o case_n the_o aforesaid_a good_a doctor_n reject_v the_o say_a example_n as_o nothing_o like_o to_o the_o same_o 1._o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o time_n for_o since_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n gospel_n say_v they_o we_o be_v more_o strict_o command_v to_o profess_v our_o faith_n then_o in_o naaman_n time_n which_o reason_n i_o conceive_v under_o favour_n to_o be_v impertinent_a as_o well_o to_o naaman_n case_n as_o to_o we_o for_o the_o do_v of_o a_o act_n

in_o naaman_n time_n to_o deny_v god_n then_o now_o 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o place_n for_o that_o the_o nobleman_n religion_n be_v not_o practise_v in_o the_o country_n where_o he_o go_v to_o the_o temple_n and_o so_o there_o can_v no_o scandal_n arise_v thereby_o this_o reason_n be_v in_o my_o judgement_n beside_o the_o purpose_n for_o no_o more_o be_v catholic_a religion_n practise_v in_o this_o country_n where_o we_o go_v to_o church_n again_o it_o prove_v not_o naaman_n case_n hereby_o more_o lawful_a than_o the_o go_v to_o church_n for_o there_o may_v be_v scandal_n where_o a_o thing_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n may_v be_v lawful_o do_v as_o there_o may_v have_v be_v scandal_n in_o our_o saviour_n poverty_n matth._n 17._o if_o he_o have_v not_o prevent_v it_o and_o there_o may_v be_v no_o scandal_n and_o yet_o the_o act_n unlawful_a therefore_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a abstract_n from_o scandal_n that_o be_v in_o our_o case_n easy_o avoid_v or_o take_v away_o the_o thing_n may_v still_o remain_v lawful_a for_o if_o he_o that_o go_v to_o church_n be_v a_o know_a catholic_a the_o weak_a be_v to_o be_v admonish_v of_o the_o indifferency_n of_o the_o

to_o who_o 3._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o person_n in_o that_o naaman_n have_v a_o office_n to_o serve_v the_o king_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o therefore_o
