for_o that_o the_o question_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v general_a and_o so_o a_o general_a answer_n be_v sufficient_a but_o the_o demand_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v particular_a &_o so_o in_o

in_o the_o question_n of_o the_o romanist_n there_o be_v no_o impertinency_n in_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o demand_v it_o but_o the_o knight_n answer_n be_v both_o impertinent_a in_o itself_o and_o also_o false_o father_v upon_o our_o saviour_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o roman_a catholik_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o do_v not_o oblige_v the_o knight_n nor_o any_o of_o his_o consort_n to_o answer_v so_o metaphysical_o to_o their_o demand_n as_o he_o erroneous_o persuade_v himself_o but_o they_o only_o urge_v the_o reformer_n to_o name_v the_o author_n and_o time_n of_o such_o

those_o he_o call_v error_n which_o be_v a_o demand_n so_o far_o from_o impertinency_n that_o there_o have_v never_o be_v any_o notorious_a error_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o have_v not_o

manifest_o that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v no_o wise_a guilty_a of_o impertinency_n in_o their_o demand_n yet_o sir_n humphrey_n be_v most_o impertinent_a in_o his_o answer_n and_o not_o only_o

professedlie_o they_o make_v mention_n of_o any_o at_o all_o secondlie_o i_o say_v that_o as_o the_o reformer_n can_v with_o any_o probability_n infer_v out_o of_o those_o father_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o two_o sacrament_n baptism_n and_o the_o eucharist_n have_v flow_v out_o of_o the_o side_n of_o christ_n that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o two_o so_o neither_o can_v they_o in_o any_o sort_n thence_o infer_v that_o the_o same_o father_n teach_v not_o the_o septenarie_a number_n of_o sacrament_n and_o more_o than_o this_o if_o the_o reformer_n stand_v upon_o this_o

of_o this_o general_a answer_n to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o may_v infer_v how_o false_o sir_n humphrey_n in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o 149._o page_n affirm_v that_o they_o

where_o he_o speak_v against_o the_o homousian_o that_o be_v against_o the_o christian_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n to_o which_o he_o give_v that_o name_n because_o they_o defend_v &_o believe_v the_o consubstantiality_n of_o the_o eternal_a son_n with_o his_o father_n &_o yet_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o saint_n chrysostome_n never_o either_o write_v or_o speak_v against_o the_o
