sectary_n for_o that_o they_o acknowledge_v not_o their_o true_a mother_n which_o be_v pride_n and_o singularity_n after_o this_o his_o proud_a entrance_n he_o begin_v his_o silly_a discourse_n and_o for_o methode_n sake_n make_v many_o division_n and_o subdivision_n every_o thing_n run_v therein_o by_o couple_n wherein_o he_o be_v so_o fertile_a and_o abundant_a as_o by_o method_n he_o confound_v all_o memory_n but_o yet_o as_o i_o may_v i_o will_v here_o recite_v the_o chief_a point_n thereof_o first_o then_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v join_v with_o they_o and_o none_o at_o all_o why_o they_o shall_v yield_v to_o us._n the_o first_o he_o prove_v for_o that_o it_o become_v the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o be_v at_o protestants_n unity_n in_o itself_o which_o reason_n how_o far_o it_o prove_v his_o purpose_n the_o reader_n can_v consider_v the_o second_o he_o declare_v for_o that_o the_o gain_n that_o they_o shall_v receive_v by_o come_v to_o we_o in_o his_o opinion_n shall_v be_v very_o small_a both_o touch_v us._n matter_n of_o religion_n as_o also_o of_o state_n for_o in_o religion_n he_o make_v his_o account_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v nothing_o more_o they_o now_o they_o have_v except_o only_o certain_a sacrament_n image_n and_o ceremony_n which_o he_o call_v representation_n all_o which_o he_o esteem_v of_o small_a avail_n in_o matter_n of_o state_n likewise_o he_o suppose_v the_o commodity_n will_v be_v few_o and_o little_a as_o namely_o to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o pope_n curse_n which_o he_o say_v they_o find_v now_o by_o experience_n not_o to_o be_v so_o hurtful_a as_o heretofore_o it_o be_v esteem_v which_o reason_n as_o you_o know_v may_v as_o well_o serve_v against_o god_n curse_v also_o for_o that_o it_o do_v not_o always_o show_v forth_o present_o his_o sensible_a effect_n next_o after_o this_o he_o declare_v how_o that_o by_o us._n yield_v to_o we_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o not_o receive_v gain_n but_o also_o great_a hurt_n &_o that_o in_o double_a manner_n first_o in_o religion_n wherein_o among_o other_o thing_n they_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o coafession_n &_o penance_n which_o thing_n say_v he_o be_v burdensome_a and_o they_o abhor_v from_o man_n nature_n then_o in_o state_n for_o that_o by_o this_o mean_a they_o shall_v come_v under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o byshope_n of_o rome_n which_o he_o esteme_v intolerable_a add_v further_a that_o this_o only_a reason_n of_o state_n hold_v many_o of_o their_o side_n from_o come_v to_o we_o who_o otherwise_o in_o conscience_n would-have_a no_o scruple_n at_o all_o which_o be_v such_o a_o confession_n as_o i_o marvel_v that_o ever_o my_o lord_n archebishope_n will_v let_v it_o pass_v in_o print_n for_o howsoever_o this_o poor_a minister_n to_o terrify_v the_o common_a people_n devise_v bug_n upon_o the_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n of_o the_o bishope_fw-mi this_o of_o rome_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v restore_v in_o england_n again_o yet_o every_o man_n of_o reason_n can_v consider_v with_o himself_o that_o the_o emperor_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n france_n polonia_n and_o other_o prince_n admit_v thesame_a authority_n do_v find_v no_o such_o inconvenience_n as_o neither_o our_o prince_n of_o england_n ever_o do_v for_o so_o many_o age_n together_o when_o they_o be_v more_o potent_a and_o glorious_a than_o they_o have_v be_v since_o the_o suppression_n thereof_o wherefore_o if_o this_o reason_n only_o do_v stay_v so_o many_o from_o we_o as_o m._n buny_n affirm_v it_o be_v very_o like_v we_o shall_v have_v the_o great_a part_n short_o when_o god_n shall_v open_v their_o understanding_n in_o a_o matter_n that_o in_o itself_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o palpable_a this_o be_v do_v he_o come_v to_o show_v the_o commodity_n that_o we_o shall_v receive_v by_o join_v with_o they_o and_o those_o also_o after_o his_o manner_n he_o they_o make_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o in_o religion_n and_o they_o in_o our_o civil_a state_n in_o religion_n say_v he_o we_o shall_v first_o receive_v the_o free_a use_n of_o holy_a seripture_n as_o though_o among_o we_o now_o there_o be_v no_o use_n thereof_o and_o then_o also_o we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o burden_n of_o confession_n and_o penance_n as_o also_o from_o religion_n all_o vow_n of_o chastity_n poverty_n and_o obedience_n and_o final_o we_o shall_v so_o cleave_v to_o christ_n alone_o say_v he_o as_o we_o shall_v abandon_v all_o other_o help_v both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n of_o angel_n saint_n other_o man_n as_o also_o our_o own_o which_o say_v he_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n and_o then_o he_o make_v a_o solemn_a protestation_n in_o thes_n word_n if_o any_o people_n can_v be_v find_v protestation_n in_o the_o world_n that_o do_v more_o abandon_v all_o other_o mean_n in_o heaven_n &_o earth_n than_o we_o do_v than_o we_o must_v pronounce_v against_o ourselves_o that_o in_o this_o respect_n they_o be_v near_o to_o this_o advantage_n than_o we_o be_v unto_o which_o protestation_n notwithstanding_o i_o doubt_v m._n buny_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v well_o urge_v will_v be_v very_o much_o ashamed_a to_o stand_v and_o cleave_v for_o albeit_o i_o confess_v that_o he_o and_o his_o fellow_n do_v very_o little_a in_o deed_n whereby_o to_o help_v themselves_o by_o their_o work_n yet_o by_o this_o reason_n they_o shall_v do_v far_o better_o in_o do_v nothing_o at_o al._n for_o he_o that_o shall_v never_o pray_v nor_o desire_v other_o man_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o he_o that_o shall_v never_o fast_v or_o do_v other_o good_a deed_n but_o shall_v rather_o defy_v the_o same_o and_o lay_v all_o upon_o christ_n passion_n he_o shall_v more_o abandon_v all_o other_o help_v and_o mean_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n beside_o christ_n than_o many_o of_o the_o best_a protestants_n do_v next_o in_o our_o civil_a state_n he_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v great_o be_v better_v by_o join_v with_o state_n they_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o blessedness_n of_o england_n which_o be_v great_a as_o he_o say_v at_o this_o time_n then_o ever_o it_o be_v since_o the_o land_n be_v first_o inhabit_v whereof_o he_o seem_v to_o allege_v two_o reason_n or_o cause_n first_o for_o that_o protestant_n in_o flattery_n thes_n temporal_a affair_n be_v always_o prosperous_a for_o say_v he_o how_o soever_o it_o go_v with_o other_o that_o be_v not_o friend_n to_o the_o gospel_n yet_o shall_v the_o favourer_n thereof_o always_o flanders_n prosper_v howsoever_o it_o be_v with_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n yet_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n shall_v always_o flourish_v the_o other_o place_n the_o people_n be_v go_v under_o their_o burden_n but_o in_o england_n all_o be_v mirth_n and_o safety_n the_o second_o cause_n of_o this_o blessedness_n of_o england_n be_v for_o that_o england_n say_v he_o be_v govern_v by_o a_o prince_n of_o their_o own_o country_n one_o that_o deal_v mild_o with_o they_o one_o that_o send_v not_o their_o plea_n abroad_o to_o other_o consistory_n one_o that_o dry_v they_o not_o up_o with_o exaction_n and_o when_o convenient_a collection_n be_v make_v the_o money_n that_o be_v exact_v of_o subject_n be_v not_o send_v say_v he_o blessedness_n out_o of_o the_o realm_n to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o foreign_a power_n but_o be_v employ_v at_o home_n to_o their_o honour_n and_o defence_n wherein_o notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o good_a man_n talk_v rather_o by_o meditation_n or_o fiction_n then_o by_o any_o great_a intelligence_n he_o have_v in_o such_o affair_n after_o all_o this_o he_o go_v about_o to_o remove_v certain_a grave_a impediment_n which_o he_o imagine_v impediment_n do_v let_v many_o catholic_n from_o come_v unto_o their_o side_n for_o which_o cause_n he_o show_v first_o that_o we_o catholic_n shall_v not_o lose_v altogether_o our_o credit_n by_o make_v we_o protestant_n or_o at_o least_o wise_a we_o shall_v not_o leeso_fw-mi the_o same_o discredit_n with_o they_o that_o be_v good_a and_o of_o their_o side_n or_o if_o we_o do_v somewhat_o impair_v the_o same_o yet_o patience_n be_v to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o ghospels_n sake_n in_o like_a manner_n he_o show_v that_o the_o holy_a saint_n of_o heaven_n will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o as_o we_o seem_v to_o doubt_v for_o leave_v their_o patronage_n also_o that_o carver_n kandlemaker_n belcaster_n organiste_n and_o other_o such_o like_a who_o may_v fear_v hurt_n to_o want_v by_o follow_v the_o gospel_n albeit_o in_o truth_n they_o shall_v lose_v no_o small_a part_n of_o their_o gain_n yet_o may_v the_o matter_n be_v ease_v and_o they_o comfort_v otherwise_o thus_o discourse_v this_o wise_a man_n in_o very_o great_a sadue_v and_o after_o all_o
