first_o at_o my_o proceed_n which_o i_o think_v by_o a_o distinction_n direct_a enough_o at_o which_o you_o except_v as_o though_o direct_a and_o distinct_a be_v not_o in_o the_o sense_n i_o take_v they_o all_o one_o and_o so_o then_o to_o answer_v by_o a_o distinction_n be_v to_o give_v a_o direct_a or_o a_o distinct_a answer_n but_o you_o be_v like_o one_o that_o be_v even_o weary_v ere_o ever_o he_o set_v forth_o foot_n in_o journey_n &_o therefore_o to_o make_v your_o journey_n the_o short_a you_o will_v conceive_v it_o only_o in_o a_o continue_a and_o dead_a way_n delude_v thereby_o yourself_o with_o imagination_n that_o your_o journey_n be_v short_a and_o therefore_o i_o think_v you_o in_o a_o confuse_v deal_v seem_v more_o fearful_a of_o the_o way_n to_o run_v then_o i_o that_o consider_v the_o question_n we_o be_v to_o handle_v by_o distinct_a point_n divide_v my_o answer_n by_o the_o eye_n of_o judgement_n into_o distinct_a portion_n and_o therefore_o i_o answer_v you_o again_o when_o you_o demand_v of_o i_o what_o shall_v decide_v all_o controversy_n in_o religion_n whether_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n i_o answer_v you_o direct_o enough_o that_o by_o

will_v answer_v the_o art_n &_o knowledge_n of_o the_o herbalist_n that_o find_v out_o the_o secret_a nature_n of_o the_o herb_n show_v how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v and_o use_v to_o have_v his_o due_a operation_n so_o here_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n write_v and_o unwritten_a word_n formal_o and_o principal_o cause_v we_o to_o believe_v but_o the_o church_n that_o propound_v it_o as_o god_n

which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v they_o or_o mean_v they_o 3._o as_o occasion_n shall_v offer_v i_o will_v touch_v your_o answer_n to_o the_o other_o question_n leave_v the_o exact_a and_o direct_v handle_v thereof_o until_o this_o controversy_n in_o hand_n be_v end_v first_o than_o you_o set_v down_o the_o first_o argument_n which_o i_o bring_v thus_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o be_v not_o teach_v or_o manifest_o gather_v i._o out_o of_o the_o write_a word_n but_o that_o the_o bible_n be_v canonical_a be_v not_o teach_v or_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o write_a word_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o bible_n be_v canonical_a mark_v then_o how_o mr_n ainsworth_n argument_n smooth_v up_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v give_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n when_o he_o answer_v that_o the_o pillar_n of_o our_o proposition_n be_v earth_n &_o ash_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o my_o argument_n lie_v in_o the_o dust_n
a_o view_n how_o you_o mainteyn_v your_o proof_n first_o you_o say_v i_o fain_o will_v challenge_v the_o name_n catholic_n unto_o myself_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o so_o the_o catholic_a church_n

that_o by_o the_o write_a word_n which_o it_o seem_v you_o can_v not_o do_v that_o there_o be_v a_o catholic_a or_o universal_a church_n and_o if_o need_n be_v can_v bring_v many_o more_o proof_n
