may_v clear_o prove_v that_o a_o unwritten_a doctrine_n may_v be_v receive_v into_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n which_o thing_n to_o this_o day_n they_o have_v not_o do_v what_o they_o be_v like_a to_o

understand_v the_o thing_n that_o concern_v you_o so_o near_o and_o whereas_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v never_o admit_v judge_n of_o faith_n before_o the_o trent_n council_n it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o of_o these_o blind_a seducer_n may_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v be_v a_o judge_n and_o hold_v a_o judge_n in_o christendom_n by_o some_o long_a time_n before_o which_o in_o some_o sort_n be_v true_a but_o not_o against_o i_o for_o he_o have_v be_v by_o diverse_a repute_v a_o judge_n of_o controversy_n of_o right_a and_o wrong_n in_o such_o thing_n as_o come_v to_o be_v plead_v by_o the_o canon_n law_n but_o of_o matter_n of_o faith_n he_o be_v never_o hold_v to_o be_v a_o judge_n therefore_o the_o pope_n canon_n do_v confess_v that_o 2._o dist._n 2._o for_o exposition_n of_o scripture_n and_o matter_n of_o faith_n the_o expositor_n of_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o pope_n as_o for_o their_o learning_n and_o godliness_n far_o excel_v the_o pope_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o in_o causis_fw-la definiendis_fw-la that_o be_v in_o decide_v of_o cause_n and_o end_v of_o suit_n which_o come_v to_o be_v plead_v in_o the_o pope_n court_n the_o pope_n be_v prefer_v for_o the_o height_n of_o their_o place_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o their_o own_o cannon_n have_v yield_v to_o they_o before_o the_o trent_n council_n i_o warn_v you_o of_o these_o thing_n before_o hand_n that_o yourselves_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o judge_v of_o any_o answer_n which_o may_v be_v return_v against_o i_o and_o i_o think_v that_o this_o warning_n may_v suffice_v to_o instruct_v you_o against_o their_o idle_a answer_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o trouble_v myself_o any_o further_a i_o have_v be_v short_a in_o collect_v these_o direction_n for_o these_o cause_n first_o because_o in_o this_o scribble_a age_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v the_o church_n with_o unneedfull_a writing_n second_o because_o i_o will_v invite_v the_o more_o reader_n who_o may_v be_v content_a to_o read_v a_o short_a book_n whereas_o length_n do_v often_o deter_v such_o as_o either_o have_v not_o much_o leisure_n or_o be_v coy_a of_o their_o pain_n last_o because_o if_o any_o will_v answer_v it_o they_o may_v see_v that_o i_o have_v somewhat_o help_v they_o in_o shortness_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_o content_v to_o set_v down_o my_o word_n now_o whereas_o your_o seducer_n pretend_v that_o they_o love_v the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o glory_n so_o much_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n you_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o try_v the_o spirit_n that_o speak_v in_o they_o for_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o fault_n to_o believe_v every_o
