of_o christ_n but_o himself_o he_o say_v seek_v to_o be_v call_v by_o the_o prelate_n and_o receyve_v his_o call_n from_o they_o which_o manner_n of_o call_v see_v it_o be_v such_o as_o god_n never_o

be_v persuade_v in_o my_o conscience_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o true_a church_n in_o this_o realm_n even_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o her_o majesties_n reign_n which_o be_v assemble_v out_o of_o all_o part_n of_o the_o land_n in_o parliament_n do_v commit_v this_o authority_n to_o ordain_v minister_n unto_o the_o bishop_n and_o know_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o every_o true_a church_n have_v this_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o ordain_v minister_n i_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o though_o the_o church_n offend_v in_o commit_v this_o power_n unto_o they_o that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o yet_o i_o may_v without_o sin_n seek_v and_o take_v the_o church_n ordination_n at_o their_o hand_n as_o i_o may_v reverence_v and_o take_v the_o

of_o it_o this_o be_v mr_n h._n his_o first_o and_o chief_a reason_n wherein_o as_o also_o in_o the_o rest_n follow_v let_v this_o be_v observe_v general_o that_o although_o in_o the_o 1._o begin_n of_o his_o letter_n he_o promise_v nothing_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o persuade_v but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o now_o in_o stead_n thereof_o he_o set_v before_o we_o the_o persuasion_n of_o his_o conscience_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o usual_a among_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v either_o divine_a oracle_n or_o as_o foroible_a to_o persuade_v as_o they_o yea_o here_o he_o seem_v to_o prefer_v his_o persuasion_n before_o god_n oracle_n which_o if_o he_o have_v not_o do_v i_o will_v not_o thus_o have_v note_v it_o for_o confess_v on_o the_o one_o hand_n that_o he_o know_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o every_o true_a church_n have_v this_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o ordain_v minister_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o have_v it_o in_o and_o from_o a_o true_a church_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v yet_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n he_o profess_v that_o the_o parliament_n commit_v this_o power_n unto_o such_o as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o to_o wit_n to_o the_o prelate_n and_o so_o offend_v therein_o he_o notwithstanding_o upon_o his_o persuasion_n seek_v and_o take_v ordination_n from_o the_o prelate_n hand_n now_o what_o be_v this_o else_o but_o to_o regard_v his_o own_o persuasion_n more_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n special_o when_o he_o join_v withal_o that_o he_o think_v he_o may_v so_o do_v without_o sin_n sure_o this_o be_v strange_a divinity_n the_o scripture_n teach_v that_o we_o 22._o may_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o that_o 4._o the_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n be_v sin_n he_o notwithstanding_o think_v that_o he_o may_v partake_v with_o other_o in_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n ordinance_n and_o yet_o not_o sin_n i_o hope_v he_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v since_o and_o so_o will_v be_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o though_o these_o very_a thing_n which_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o rest_v upon_o be_v all_o grant_v he_o yet_o they_o make_v altogether_o against_o he_o and_o so_o this_o first_o reason_n of_o he_o be_v find_v in_o this_o case_n to_o be_v of_o no_o weight_n yet_o before_o we_o proceed_v to_o the_o rest_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o more_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n more_o full_o to_o consider_v the_o particular_n here_o set_v down_o 1_o and_o first_o where_o he_o say_v he_o be_v persuade_v the_o lord_n have_v a_o true_a church_n in_o this_o realm_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o her_o majesty_n reign_n etc._n etc._n it_o will_v be_v know_v
