c. Summa the Enthusiasmus sticketh in Adam hys chyldren from the beginnyng vntyl the ende of the world grafted and planted in thē of the olde dragon and is occasiō myght power of all heresye also of the papacye and machomette Therfore oughte and must we abyde by thys that God wil not handle with vs Christen men but by hys outewarde worde and Sacrament And all whatsoeuer is boasted of the spirite without thys worde and Sacrament is diabolicall For God woulde also fyrst appeare vnto Moyses through the fyery busshe and the outewarde worde Exo. iij. And no Prophet neyther Elias nor Eliseus dyd receaue the spirite withoute the tenne commaundementes iij. Reg. xvij in Reg. xix And Iohn the Baptiser was not conceyued withoute the afore goynge worde of Gabriel neyther dyd he leape in hys mothers belly withoute the voyce of Marie Luc. i And S. Peter sayth ij Pet. i The Prophetes spake not by the wyl of man but beyng moued by the holy Ghoost as the holy men of God But withoute the outewarde worde were they not holy moche lesse shoulde the holye goost haue moued them to speake beyng yet vnholy for they were holye sayth he whan the holy Goost spake thorough them Of the Curse Greate curse The great curse as the Pope doth call it do we take for a mere temporal correction and touched not vs ministers of the churche But the lesser that is the ryghte Christen curse That the open stubborne synnes should not be admitted or suffred to come vnto the Sacrament or other communion of the churche vntyl they amende theyr lyues and eschewe synne And the preachers ought not to myngle the temporal correction with thys spiritual correction or curse Of anoyntynge consecratynge or callynge Yf the Bysshoppes woulde be ryght and true Bysshoppes and earnestly take vpon them the ministratiō of the Churche and the Gospell it myghte be graunted and permitted for loue and vnities sake but not of necessite that they shoulde ordeyne confirme vs and oure preachers but yet al disguysyng and fantasticall of vngodlynes and bragging set a part But nowe that they are not ryght Bysshoppes neyther also wyl be but worldly Lordes and Princes whiche neyther preache nor teache nor baptise nor communicate nor yet wil exercyse any maner of worke or offyce of the churche yea rather which diffame vexe persecute and condemne suche offyces and the setters forth therof so may not yet the church for theyr sakes be destitute of ministers Therfore accordyng as the olde examples of the churche and of the fathers teache vs wil and ought we our selues to ordeyne discrete persons to suche offyces And thys can thei not forbidde or let vs euen accordynge to their own lawe For their lawes saye That suche also as are ordeyned euē of very heretykes shal be called ordeined styl remaine Euē as S. Ierome writteth of the churches of Alexādria that at the fyrst they were gouerned of the bysshoppes through Priestes preachers indifferētly in commune Of matrimony concernyng Priestes That they haue forbidden matrimony and haue charged the Godly ordre of priesthode with perpetual chastitie that haue they done withoute alryght and reason But haue handled in that lyke Antichristysshe tyrannyouse arraunt and wicked persones therewith geuen occasyon of all manner of horrible execrable innumerable synnes of vnclenlynes wherein they sticke yet And euen as littell as we or thei haue authorite and power of a man to make a womā or of a woman to make a man or neyther of bothe Euē so littel haue they had authoryte power to separate such creatures of God or to forbidde thē honestly and accordyng to the lawe of matrimony to dwes together Therfore wil we not consente into their ydel celibate nor suffer it But we wyll haue matrimony free and at liberte accordyng as God hath ordeyned and instituted thesame And wil not rente nor hynder hys worke For S. Paule sayth That it is a deuelyshe doctrine Of the Churche Vve graunte not vnto them that they are the churche for they are not the Churche neyther wyll we heare what soeuer they commaunde or forbidde vnder the name of the churche For thankes be to God a chylde of seuen yeres olde knoweth what the churche is Church namely the holy beleuyng and the shepe that heare theyr shepeherdes voyce For thus pray the childrē I beleue one holy catholyke churche This holynes standeth not in surplices shauen crounes longe gownes and other of their ceremonyes by thē aboue the holy Scripture inuented but in the word of God and in ryghte faythe Howe man is iustifyed before God and of Good workes Vvhatsoeuer thereof hitherto and alwayes I haue taught knowe I not in any wyse to alter Namely that we thorough fayth as S. Peter sayeth Act. xv get another newe and pure herte and that God for Christes oure mediators sake wil counte and doth counte vs very ryghteous and holy Althoughe the synne in the flesshe be not cleane extinguysshed or dead yet wyl he not reken nor impute it vnto vs. And vpon such fayth renewynge and remissyon of synnes followe then good workes And whatsoeuer in thesame is also yet synful and vnparfect shal not be counted for synne or imperfectnesse euen for the same Christes sake But the man shall be called and also be ryghteous and holy throughoute bothe in hys person and in hys workes of mere grace and mercy in Christe poured oute and dilated ouer vs. Therfore can we not boaste many desertes of our workes yf they be loked vpon withoute grace and mercy But as it is written he that reioyseth let hym reioyce in the Lorde that is That he hath a mercyful God s Cor. i. So is it al good We saye also further that yf good workes followe not so is the fayth false and not ryght Of Cloyster vowes For as muche as the Cloyster vowes fighte quite and streyght against the chiefe and princypal article So ought they to be cleane abolysshed For they are those whereof Christe speaketh Mat. xxiiij Ego sum Christus c. Matth. xxiiij For he that voweth to leade a cloyster lyfe thesame beleueth that he ledeth a better lyfe than the commune Christen man and wil by his workes not onely bringe hym selfe to heauen but also to helpe other to heauen This is to denye Christ And thei boaste by their S. Thomas that cloyster vowes be equal with baptisme This is a blasphemye to God Of mans institutions That the papistes saye that mennes institutions serue for the remissiō of synnes or deserue saluation That is vnchristenly and damnable As Christ sayth Matth. xv In vayne do they worshyppe me teaching doctrynes which are nothyng but mennes preceptes Item ad Tit. i. Aduersantium veritatem Tit. i. Item where as they saye That it is damnable to breake suche institutions That is also vntrue These are the articles wherevnto I must stande and

geue backe admitte euen as the whoremōger will haue it But she is sayeth S. Paul i. Ti. iij. a pyller ground of the trueth She standeth sure sayth he is a sure grounde And not a false or deceyuable grounde But a grounde of trueth which neither lyeth nor deceyueth neither gothe aboute with any lyes But whatsoeuer wauereth or doubteth the same can not be truth And whereto were a Churche of God profitable and necessary in the worlde yf she woulde wauer and be vnstable of her wordes Or institute euery daye some newe knacke nowe geue this and nowe take awaye that yea where vnto were such a God profitable that woulde teache vs so to wayuer and to doubte Theologyes of the Papistes as the Theologie of the Papistes teachet that men muste doubte of mercy Vvhereof is writtē ynough besydes For all though the Papistes in all other causes had ouercome yet be they condēned in this Chyef Article that they teache That we muste doubte of the grace of God yf we be not worthy ynough before through oure oune satisfaction or merites intercession of saynctes There be their Bookes writtinges seales Cloysters Mynsters also yet their bayly shauen Crounes and masses to beare witnes And for as muche as they teache this Article that they stoude vpon their owne workes and doubtes as they can none other So is it euident that they muste nedes be the Churche of the deuill Wayes vnto saluation For there can be no more wayes than these two The one whiche trusteth vnto Goddes mercy The other that buyldeth vpon oure owne merites and workes The fyrst is the waye of the olde Churche and of all the Patriarkes Prophetes and Apostles as the scripture witnesseth The other is the waye of the Roomyshe Bysshop and of his Churche This can noman denye no not H.M. and all the deuills them selues There standeth as often hath ben sayde recorde Bookes Bullus Sealles Vvrittinges Mynsters Cloysters so that it may be testifyed by all the worlde And there is S. Pet. Act. iiij There is none other name geuē whereby we may be saued but onely Iesus Christ Act. iiij Agaynst this sayeth the kyng of Rattes at Rome No not so But there are many other names wherby the people muste be saued specially Myne name after that all such as I will S. Frauncys Dominyke and all propre workes that bryng in mony vnto me And lay kyng Emperour vnder fote Here is holynes saluation Christ is no more necessarye nor profitable c. Church of christ suffereth no lyes nor false doctrine But to come agayn to oure matter That the Churche of Christ dothe not lye nor deceyue must they confesse them selues in despite of their hartes Where woulde they elles become They must saye That she is a rocke Matth xvi agaynst the which hell gates can not preuayle Math. xvi Or as S. Paule gloseth the same a piller and grounde of truth i. Ti. iij. This I saye to graunte we thanke them not Euen so sayeth also the Crede of the children that she is a holy Catholyke church And S. Paull i. Cor. iij. The tempel of God is holy whiche ye are i. Co. iij But whosoeuer defyleth the temple of God hym shal God destroye Therfore can may the holy church a byde no lyes nor false doctrine But she must teache nothinge but mere holynes and truthe that is onely the worde of God And yf she teache any lye then is she cleane Idolatriouse and the whorys church of the deuill Goddes seruice of the kynges of Israel What did it profite vnto the kynges of Israel to boaste that they serued the God of Israel whiche had brought them oute of Egypte There with named and meaned they The very God of their fathers And did also obserue the whole lawe of Moyses But for as much as they besydes that did also honour Calues or Baal or at the least there with of mannes imagination Did institute newe Goddes seruice to the honour of the very true God So was it all lost For agaynste the same was Goddes cōmaundemēt Thou shalt haue none other God besydes me And Moyses Deu. iiij and xij had cōmaunded Deut. iiij xij that they shoulde not pretende any newenes or alteration or of their owne imaginatiō sayeng What soeuer I commaunde the that shalt thou do Thou shalt take nothinge from it nor put any thinge there vnto Thou shalt not tourne from it to the lefte hande nor to the righte hand That is Thou shalt neither make it better nor worse neither diminyshe nor alter any thinge Vvhereof we reade in the Prophetes in dyuers places howe that they rebuked kynges Priestes and the people because they inuented dayly newe wayes and did not abyde in the righte waye and onely pathe Onely the way vnto saluatiō is the word of God For whatsoeuer steppeth a syde frō the worde of God whiche onely is the waye as he sayeth I am the waye the truthe and the lyfe Io. xiiij appeare it as good and fayre as it maye So is it notwhitstanding doubtles errour lyes and death For it is without the word of God that is withoute the waye truthe and lyfe And what nede shoulde we haue of the worde yf we withoute the same coulde fynde wayes for oure selues Psal xxix For the worde is onely the lanterne of oure fete and the lyght of oure pathes which lighteth in the darke places of the worde as S.
