the_o forego_v write_n dispense_v unto_o they_o forth_o of_o the_o inquisition_n show_v the_o unrighteousness_n of_o their_o cause_n and_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o their_o weapon_n which_o fight_v and_o battle_v against_o i_o who_o i_o show_v in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o suffering_n that_o if_o they_o judge_v i_o to_o be_v a_o madman_n they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v nigh_o senseless_a to_o seek_v i_o by_o temptation_n of_o cruelty_n and_o pleasure_n to_o turn_v unto_o they_o by_o sin_v against_o the_o lord_n of_o righteousness_n and_o again_o i_o remonstrate_v to_o their_o understanding_n viz._n that_o if_o the_o pope_n cardinal_n doctor_n jesuit_n priest_n friar_n lawyer_n physician_n and_o all_o the_o wise_a council_n and_o counsellor_n in_o rome_n be_v fall_v so_o far_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o degenerate_v so_o much_o below_o humane_a reason_n as_o not_o to_o judge_v of_o a_o humane_a state_n in_o a_o more_o rational_a sort_n than_o to_o conclude_v i_o to_o be_v a_o madman_n that_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o most_o miserable_a destroy_a state_n that_o shall_v trust_v unto_o their_o judgement_n concern_v any_o thing_n which_o they_o shall_v judge_v be_v spiritual_a tend_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n for_o if_o all_o can_v not_o right_o judge_v of_o a_o cause_n external_a in_o so_o low_a a_o degree_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v judge_v of_o thing_n spiritual_a which_o be_v matter_n of_o the_o high_a concernment_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o conclude_v myself_o a_o wilful_a destroyer_n of_o my_o own_o soul_n if_o i_o shall_v have_v adhere_v unto_o such_o spirit_n as_o be_v not_o able_a right_o to_o judge_v betwixt_o a_o state_n of_o true_a sense_n and_o madness_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v my_o desire_n that_o the_o poor_a simple_a hungry_a and_o thirsty_a roman_a catholic_n who_o soul_n be_v not_o satisfy_v without_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o true_a god_n may_v know_v the_o real_a cause_n why_o they_o yet_o walk_v with_o heavy_a heart_n and_o pressed-down_a mind_n not_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o the_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n in_o they_o though_o they_o have_v careful_o seek_v many_o year_n to_o find_v it_o go_v unto_o many_o masse-house_n to_o communicate_v often_o and_o to_o pray_v frequent_o and_o to_o confess_v several_a time_n in_o the_o

than_o all_o whatever_o they_o practise_v can_v take_v away_o from_o their_o heart_n nor_o wash_v from_o their_o soul_n one_o of_o their_o least_o sin_n i_o say_v one_o cause_n be_v this_o as_o the_o

those_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n god_n never_o require_v from_o you_o and_o therefore_o in_o your_o daily_a sacrifice_n you_o can_v expect_v another_o answer_n from_o god_n than_o this_o as_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n say_v who_o have_v require_v these_o thing_n at_o your_o hand_n for_o god_n never_o institute_v bead_n nor_o image_n of_o person_n or_o cross_n neither_o ever_o say_v he_o
