pope_n also_o in_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o church_n the_o punishment_n and_o travel_n of_o noah_n abraham_n jacob_n and_o other_o and_o to_o who_o do_v he_o distribute_v they_o seaventh_o why_o do_v not_o the_o sacrificer_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n distribute_v they_o to_o the_o faithful_a in_o their_o time_n eight_o why_o do_v not_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o the_o apostle_n nor_o their_o disciple_n in_o all_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n distribute_v any_o indulgence_n unto_o the_o dead_a nineth_o why_o be_v it_o that_o they_o do_v not_o celebrate_v any_o jubilee_n nor_o establish_v any_o such_o privilege_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v now_o whereupon_o he_o that_o cause_v certain_a mass_n to_o be_v say_v draw_v a_o soul_n who_o he_o will_v choose_v out_o of_o

procure_v be_v it_o because_o the_o pope_n have_v better_a invention_n than_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o have_v or_o that_o god_n be_v grow_v more_o liberal_a than_o he_o be_v in_o former_a age_n ten_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v any_o work_n of_o supererogation_n see_v god_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v love_v and_o serve_v he_o with_o all_o the_o heart_n and_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o all_o the_o strength_n and_o all_o the_o mind_n now_o if_o god_n require_v all_o who_o be_v he_o that_o can_v do_v more_o than_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v best_o of_o superabounding_a work_n more_o than_o god_n require_v when_o he_o require_v all_o for_o whatsoever_o any_o man_n can_v do_v or_o perform_v that_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v do_v it_o be_v include_v in_o this_o word_n all_o and_o it_o be_v either_o express_v or_o include_v in_o some_o command_n or_o precept_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o express_v nor_o include_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o god_n will_v say_v of_o it_o as_o in_o isa_n 1.1_o ●ho_fw-mi h●h_a require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n and_o god_n will_v esteem_v of_o it_o as_o he_o say_v isa_n 66.3_o he_o that_o

their_o own_o way_n and_o their_o so●l_n delight_v in_o their_o abomination_n for_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v that_o be_v not_o either_o express_v nor_o include_v in_o some_o command_n or_o precept_n in_o which_o god_n require_v all_o it_o be_v your_o own_o way_n and_o abomination_n and_o not_o god_n way_n and_o therefore_o god_n will_v not_o accept_v it_o ergo_fw-la there_o be_v no_o work_n of_o supererogation_n second_o of_o merit_n first_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v by_o scripture_n that_o any_o man_n can_v merit_v any_o good_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n see_v christ_n himself_o tell_v we_o that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o we_o can_v we_o shall_v count_v ourselves_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v and_o therefore_o not_o meritorious_a as_o to_o eternal_a life_n second_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n say_v mr._n perkins_n be_v of_o such_o infinite_a dignity_n that_o no_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o do_v a_o work_n to_o countervail_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n alone_o three_o say_v he_o for_o one_o good_a work_n we_o do_v we_o do_v many_o evil_a work_n the_o offence_n whereof_o deface_v the_o merit_n of_o our_o best_a work_n and_o make_v they_o too_o light_a in_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n four_o god_n show_v mercy_n unto_o thousand_o of_o they_o that_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n exod._n 20_o 6._o whence_o we_o reason_n thus_o that_o where_o reward_n be_v give_v upon_o mercy_n there_o it_o be_v not_o give_v upon_o merit_n but_o reward_n be_v give_v upon_o mercy_n even_o to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n the_o refore_o not_o give_v upon_o merit_n five_o christ_n himself_o have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v give_v we_o our_o daily_a bread_n it_o must_v needs_o therefore_o say_v mr_n perkias_n be_v a_o satanical_a insolency_n for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v that_o he_o can_v merit_v eternal_a life_n who_o can_v merit_v bread_n but_o aught_o daily_a to_o pray_v for_o it_o six_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n titus_n 5.3_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o work_n of_o righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v do_v but_o of_o mercy_n we_o be_v save_v and_o if_o of_o mercy_n than_o it_o be_v not_o of_o merit_n three_o of_o purgatory_n first_o whereas_o papist_n teach_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o intercessor_n and_o meadiator_n for_o those_o soul_n which_o they_o say_v be_v in_o purgatory_n we_o demand_v why_o they_o do_v not_o present_o go_v forth_o upon_o his_o intercession_n but_o remain_v some_o hundred_o or_o thousand_o year_n as_o appear_v by_o five_o or_o six_o thousand_o year_n pardon_n which_o the_o po●e_n grantetth_v unless_o you_o think_v that_o there_o be_v more_o efficacy_n in_o the_o pope_n pardon_n then_o there_o be_v in_o christ_n inercession_n answer_v it_o if_o you_o can_v second_o we_o demand_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o other_o religious_a man_n now_o a_o day_n in_o small_a account_n in_o 〈…〉_o carmelites_n have_v the_o privilege_n grant_v they_o by_o the_o pope_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o purgatory_n but_o till_o the_o saturday_n after_o their_o death_n and_o the_o cordilians_n have_v this_o privilege_n grant_v they_o to_o draw_v a_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n by_o say_v five_o pater_fw-la noster_n and_o five_o ave_fw-la maiyes_n why_o have_v not_o the_o jesute_v the_o like_a privilege_n and_o how_o prove_v you_o that_o the_o carmelites_n and_o cor●ilians_n have_v such_o privilege_n three_o we_o demand_v if_o the_o pope_n have_v power_n to_o grant_v such_o privilege_n to_o other_o and_o have_v power_n himself_o as_o some_o hold_n by_o way_n of_o jurisdiction_n or_o by_o way_n of_o suffrage_n if_o he_o have_v such_o power_n as_o he_o pretend_v and_o your_o church_n teach_v then_o why_o do_v he_o not_o take_v they_o all_o out_o of_o purgatory_n why_o do_v he_o suffer_v his_o child_n to_o lie_v in_o a_o burn_a fire_n so_o many_o hundred_o year_n if_o he_o be_v able_a to_o deliver_v they_o four_o of_o transubstantiation_n first_o mr._n perkins_n say_v that_o in_o the_o first_o institution_n before_o christ_n passion_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v sacramental_o eat_v as_o already_o sacrifice_v now_o how_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n crucify_a shall_v after_o a_o corporal_a manner_n be_v eat_v he_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o crucify_a be_v impossible_a to_o imagine_v second_o we_o demand_v whether_o the_o priest_n break_v in_o the_o mass_n the_o same_o thing_n that_o jesus_n christ_n brak_fw-mi in_o the_o supper_n with_o his_o disciple_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o our_o lord_n brak_fw-mi bread_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o break_v nothing_o but_o bread_n but_o the_o priest_n break_v after_o consecration_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o consecration_n you_o say_v the_o element_n be_v change_v into_o the_o real_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o so_o than_o you_o actual_o crucify_v christ_n afresh_o break_v he_o in_o piece_n both_o with_o your_o hand_n and_o tooth_n put_v he_o to_o open_a shame_n and_o yet_o the_o priest_n say_v he_o sacrifice_v in_o break_v which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a prove_v it_o by_o scripture_n and_o who_o give_v you_o this_o authority_n thus_o to_o sacrifice_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n three_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v adore_v that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n give_v they_o as_o now_o the_o papist_n do_v neither_o do_v we_o find_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o administer_a the_o supper_n speak_v any_o thing_n of_o sacrifice_n nor_o make_v any_o elevation_n of_o the_o host_n as_o you_o now_o do_v he_o communicate_v it_o to_o all_o the_o assistant_n speak_v in_o a_o language_n understand_v of_o all_o why_o then_o be_v it_o at_o this_o day_n the_o priest_n do_v quite_o contrary_a four_o if_o there_o be_v a_o real_a corporal_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o papist_n pretend_v and_o that_o short_o after_o the_o apostle_n have_v receive_v it_o in_o their_o stomach_n jesus_n christ_n do_v sweat_v drop_n of_o blood_n and_o be_v apprehend_v and_o buffet_v then_o
