say_v he_o that_o this_o council_n be_v receive_v by_o the_o bishop_n but_o what_o man_n can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o the_o bishop_n have_v another_o faith_n and_o religion_n from_o that_o

and_o how_o shall_v the_o people_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n flock_n unless_o they_o acknowledge_v some_o pastor_n see_v then_o this_o in_o brief_a be_v his_o argument_n the_o bishop_n have_v receive_v the_o council_n the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n have_v believe_v the_o bishop_n ergo_fw-la the_o council_n have_v be_v receive_v by_o the_o king_n the_o bishop_n the_o clergy_n and_o likewise_o of_o

they_o as_o catholic_a to_o ferdinando_n king_n of_o arragon_n defender_n of_o the_o faith_n to_o henry_n the_o eight_o king_n of_o england_n yet_o do_v they_o descend_v unto_o their_o successor_n

a_o christian_a as_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o yet_o the_o title_n of_o christian_a belong_v only_o unto_o the_o one_o and_o the_o title_n of_o catholic_a to_o the_o other_o but_o above_o all_o be_v this_o reason_n ill_o apply_v against_o the_o king_n of_o france_n for_o that_o christian_a be_v not_o a_o title_n to_o distinguish_v one_o christian_a from_o another_o but_o to_o distinguish_v

have_v the_o most_o war_n of_o all_o with_o the_o saracen_n enemy_n of_o the_o name_n of_o christ._n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o title_n may_v incline_v he_o the_o more_o to_o embrace_v that_o

for_o the_o huguenot_n may_v as_o well_o convert_v this_o reason_n to_o persuade_v the_o king_n to_o reform_v the_o church_n as_o the_o catholic_n use_v it_o to_o incline_v he_o to_o maintain_v the_o

long_o then_o to_o scour_v away_o the_o rust_n nor_o to_o maintain_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n then_o to_o reform_v the_o abuse_n of_o it_o nevertheless_o to_o establish_v such_o a_o course_n that_o any_o of_o the_o iron_n be_v not_o scrape_v away_o in_o stead_n of_o the_o rust_n and_o yet_o see_v that_o it_o be_v bright_a scour_v there_o be_v no_o safe_a mean_n then_o to_o do_v quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o which_o our_o aduersay_n advise_v viz._n to_o let_v their_o council_n of_o trent_n sleep_n and_o to_o call_v another_o wherein_o both_o part_n may_v have_v indifferent_a hear_n by_o which_o mean_n if_o so_o be_v that_o there_o be_v any_o corruption_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n it_o may_v be_v see_v into_o and_o purge_v and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o error_n in_o the_o

be_v a_o act_n indeed_o well_o worthy_a a_o most_o christian_n king_n 3_o but_o descend_v we_o now_o to_o the_o people_n how_o shall_v they_o say_v he_o be_v the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n flock_n if_o
