the_o mass_n book_n and_o our_o common_a prayer_n book_n together_o between_o which_o they_o pretend_v there_o be_v such_o a_o consent_n that_o every_o piece_n and_o parcel_n of_o our_o book_n be_v take_v from_o thence_o but_o the_o falsity_n of_o this_o we_o show_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n in_o which_o they_o speak_v of_o this_o matter_n and_o name_v there_o what_o we_o have_v in_o our_o book_n which_o the_o mass_n book_n have_v not_o and_o we_o add_v now_o that_o if_o we_o have_v never_o a_o word_n but_o what_o be_v there_o yet_o we_o have_v none_o of_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v there_o it_o can_v follow_v that_o we_o must_v be_v evil_a for_o have_v in_o it_o somewhat_o that_o be_v there_o second_o for_o the_o mutual_a complacency_n they_o talk_v of_o i_o answer_v that_o to_o accuse_v all_o that_o like_o our_o liturgy_n to_o be_v liker_n also_o of_o the_o mass_n be_v so_o shameless_a and_o foul_a a_o slander_n as_o none_o can_v be_v more_o and_o of_o the_o other_o side_n for_o the_o papist_n approve_v of_o our_o liturgy_n it_o be_v more_o a_o commendation_n of_o it_o then_o otherwise_o it_o argue_v our_o service_n to_o be_v so_o good_a that_o our_o very_a adversary_n which_o in_o all_o thing_n else_o be_v so_o bitter_a against_o we_o yet_o can_v say_v nothing_o against_o that_o whereas_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o if_o the_o papist_n like_o it_o it_o can_v be_v good_a because_o they_o be_v against_o all_o good_a i_o answer_v this_o be_v intolerable_a for_o thus_o they_o may_v as_o well_o condemn_v much_o of_o our_o doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o our_o liturgy_n as_o namely_o all_o divine_a and_o necessary_a truth_n which_o we_o hold_v and_o teach_v concern_v the_o unity_n of_o essence_n and_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n all_o the_o artribute_n of_o god_n and_o in_o a_o word_n all_o the_o first_o part_n of_o divinity_n in_o thomas_n wherein_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n have_v hardly_o any_o difference_n so_o then_o this_o second_o argument_n make_v more_o for_o our_o book_n then_o against_o it_o all_o those_o sound_a part_n and_o doctrine_n in_o divinity_n which_o we_o with_o they_o hold_v joint_o not_o have_v their_o original_a from_o they_o or_o their_o writing_n but_o from_o the_o scripture_n whence_o we_o and_o they_o also_o take_v they_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o word_n which_o they_o use_v in_o this_o chapter_n concern_v this_o second_o argument_n as_o have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o foul_a and_o shameful_a expression_n of_o their_o rancorous_a and_o malicious_a heart_n against_o all_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o strain_n i_o pass_v over_o as_o nothing_o to_o purpose_n for_o the_o business_n we_o have_v in_o hand_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o last_o evidence_n they_o bring_v against_o we_o which_o they_o call_v the_o undeniable_a testimony_n of_o the_o king_n namely_o of_o king_n edward_n the_o six_o and_o of_o his_o council_n where_o they_o bring_v in_o a_o piece_n of_o a_o letter_n tell_v we_o they_o have_v the_o rest_n by_o they_o which_o may_v be_v as_o true_a as_o all_o they_o say_v else_o but_o grant_v all_o they_o say_v if_o the_o king_n and_o state_n to_o draw_v the_o papist_n back_o to_o we_o and_o win_v they_o to_o our_o church_n do_v write_v to_o that_o purpose_n what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o our_o liturgy_n as_o long_o as_o all_o the_o evil_a in_o the_o mass_n book_n be_v leave_v out_o in_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o new_a service_n but_o the_o old_a and_o what_o be_v in_o we_o be_v they_o to_o assure_v the_o papist_n hereof_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o especial_a argument_n to_o move_v the_o papist_n not_o to_o abhor_v our_o church_n but_o too_o frequent_v they_o and_o join_v with_o we_o in_o our_o liturgy_n though_o perhaps_o they_o can_v rest_v satisfy_v with_o it_o but_o will_v private_o have_v their_o own_o mass_n beside_o it_o also_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o their_o three_o proof_n also_o now_o their_o
