because_o they_o be_v bend_v to_o condemn_v and_o utter_o to_o oppress_v such_o as_o they_o well_o know_v to_o be_v innocent_a they_o be_v unwilling_a that_o their_o innocence_n shall_v appear_v

afore_o they_o be_v afeard_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o power_n to_o condemn_v we_o if_o they_o shall_v hear_v us._n this_o be_v the_o invective_n which_o lactantius_n write_v against_o the_o heathen_a in_o his_o time_n who_o condemn_v the_o christian_n without_o hear_v they_o which_o reason_n i_o will_v use_v against_o the_o impatient_a catholic_n desire_v they_o not_o to_o show_v

persecute_v without_o know_v what_o it_o contain_v but_o if_o those_o angry_a catholic_n which_o oppose_v themselves_o as_o adversary_n against_o our_o reform_a religion_n and_o so_o bold_o condemn_v it_o will_v temper_v their_o choler_n &_o passion_n with_o such_o moderation_n as_o to_o geve_v place_n to_o reason_n and_o to_o set_v natural_a discretion_n in_o due_a place_n and_o pre-eminence_n true_o i_o dare_v make_v they_o judge_n of_o this_o cause_n and_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v that_o they_o will_v judge_v far_o otherwise_o than_o they_o have_v do_v hitherto_o or_o do_v yet_o and_o in_o deed_n if_o the_o love_n of_o truth_n have_v any_o place_n in_o their_o heart_n as_o i_o believe_v it_o have_v i_o beseech_v they_o even_o before_o god_n and_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n to_o vouchsafe_v to_o examine_v this_o present_a defence_n with_o settle_a judgement_n and_o to_o consider_v of_o it_o without_o affection_n for_o i_o protest_v unto_o they_o that_o i_o will_v use_v such_o modesty_n in_o my_o word_n as_o none_o shall_v just_o have_v cause_n to_o accuse_v i_o of_o rigour_n first_o therefore_o i_o presuppose_v that_o betwixt_o the_o romish_a catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n there_o be_v disagreement_n of_o doctrine_n in_o many_o point_n yea_o even_o in_o the_o most_o principal_a as_o i_o will_v show_v hereafter_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o do_v acknowledge_v general_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o two_o nature_n not_o confound_v the_o holy_a trinitye_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o therefore_o they_o both_o may_v in_o this_o respect_n be_v call_v christian_n howbeit_o the_o one_o more_o apt_o than_o the_o other_o as_o shall_v appear_v by_o that_o which_o i_o will_v say_v hereafter_o now_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o treat_v of_o the_o point_n which_o be_v in_o question_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v the_o more_o plain_o judge_v thereof_o we_o will_v distinct_o examine_v the_o reason_n which_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o discourse_n and_o be_v common_o allege_v on_o both_o side_n for_o the_o maintain_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o either_o party_n and_o so_o by_o compare_v the_o contrary_a reason_n and_o allegation_n together_o the_o truth_n will_v the_o more_o apparent_o show_v itself_o because_o light_n be_v they_o most_o apparent_a and_o bright_a when_o it_o be_v set_v nigh_o to_o his_o contrary_n ¶_o of_o three_o maxim_n ground_n or_o rule_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v judge_v of_o the_o point_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v in_o question_n the_o first_o chapter_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o hot_a catholic_n accuse_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o protestant_n to_o be_v wicked_a new_a and_o heretical_a and_o therefore_o can_v brook_v the_o society_n of_o such_o as_o profess_v the_o same_o we_o hope_v to_o show_v

they_o evident_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o scan_n of_o every_o point_n particular_o that_o be_v in_o question_n and_o for_o proof_n and_o demonstration_n of_o our_o

the_o same_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v reckon_v wicked_a new_a and_o heretical_a or_o no._n the_o three_o maxim_n be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v that_o that_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n whereby_o god_n be_v most_o honour_a be_v the_o best_a the_o second_o be_v that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v best_a build_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o true_a the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o romish_a catholic_n can_v well_o accuse_v that_o doctrine_n of_o heresy_n which_o be_v approve_v by_o their_o own_o canon_n which_o three_o rule_n or_o maxim_n be_v so_o clear_a &_o evident_a of_o themselves_o that_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o day_n or_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o clear_a for_o see_v that_o religion_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o the_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n it_o do_v follow_v that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v we_o to_o yield_v unto_o he_o all_o duty_n and_o honour_n and_o to_o rob_v he_o of_o no_o part_n thereof_o be_v a_o good_a and_o true_a doctrine_n and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o better_o likewise_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o only_a word_n of_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v call_v new_a but_o that_o we_o may_v rather_o say_v that_o it_o be_v as_o old_a as_o the_o world_n itself_o in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o which_o do_v call_v it_o new_a may_v not_o nor_o can_v so_o call_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o but_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o own_o ignorance_n for_o to_o the_o ignorant_a every_o thing_n that_o they_o understand_v not_o be_v new_a neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o it_o be_v most_o true_a because_o that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n thereof_o be_v the_o truth_n itself_o and_o the_o fountain_n of_o light_n and_o wisdom_n in_o like_a manner_n i_o think_v that_o all_o man_n will_v easy_o grant_v that_o even_o the_o earne_a catholic_n of_o rome_n can_v not_o dispense_v so_o much_o with_o themselves_o as_o to_o accuse_v that_o religion_n of_o heresy_n which_o be_v approve_v by_o their_o own_o canon_n because_o the_o canon_n be_v authorise_v by_o the_o pope_n themselves_o for_o the_o decree_n of_o gracian_a from_o whence_o i_o intend_v to_o draw_v the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o canon_n which_o shall_v be_v allege_v be_v ratify_v &_o authorise_v by_o pope_n pope_n euginie_n the_o three_o who_o command_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v red_a in_o the_o vniversytye_n 1168._o and_o use_v in_o judgement_n as_o they_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o so_o that_o to_o reject_v and_o condemn_v the_o canon_n be_v as_o much_o in_o effect_n as_o to_o deny_v the_o pope_n and_o all_o the_o roman_a religion_n but_o full_a well_o i_o know_v that_o hereafter_o when_o i_o shall_v allege_v the_o canon_n those_o passionate_a catholic_n will_v rise_v up_o and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v other_o canon_n contrary_a to_o these_o and_o true_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n be_v full_a of_o contraryety_n yet_o dare_v i_o bold_o say_v and_o assure_o avow_v that_o those_o canon_n which_o i_o will_v allege_v in_o this_o book_n be_v of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o ancient_a of_o all_o the_o canon_n law_n new_a &_o which_o have_v proceed_v from_o the_o best_a spring_n &_o fountain_n and_o from_o such_o author_n as_o be_v most_o principal_a in_o

be_v easy_o to_o be_v perceive_v by_o every_o man_n of_o common_a capacity_n yea_o even_o of_o the_o gross_a sort_n i_o be_o now_o to_o apply_v they_o orderly_v to_o every_o particular_a point_n and_o first_o of_o all_o we_o will_v treat_v of_o prayer_n ❧_o of_o prayer_n the_o second_o chapter_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n touch_v prayer_n be_v very_o plain_a their_o opinion_n be_v in_o effect_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o offer_v our_o prayer_n unto_o god_n our_o maker_n who_o be_v able_a enough_o to_o geve_v we_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v &_o gracious_a in_o harcken_a gentle_o to_o our_o request_n who_o also_o have_v manifest_v his_o great_a goodness_n in_o give_v his_o everlasting_a son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o he_o our_o manhood_n may_v have_v access_n to_o his_o godhead_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o in_o pray_v to_o god_n our_o creator_n we_o must_v always_o use_v the_o credit_n and_o intercession_n of_o his_o son_n our_o mediator_n who_o may_v bold_o go_v to_o the_o father_n because_o he_o be_v god_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o selfsame_a godhead_n and_o be_v and_o disdain_v not_o also_o to_o apply_v himself_o to_o
