and_o ambition_n do_v alienate_v our_o first_o parent_n from_o god_n so_o pride_n and_o ambition_n make_v a_o division_n between_o the_o church_n and_o her_o child_n for_o you_o shall_v often_o see_v the_o child_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v so_o ambitious_a that_o they_o will_v esteem_v themselves_o above_o their_o mother_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o schismatic_n much_o more_o a_o heretic_n but_o be_v ambitious_a and_o so_o the_o shoolman_n speak_v when_o they_o say_v that_o a_o schismatic_a be_v one_o who_o retain_v the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o religion_n rend_v impudent_o the_o church_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o right_n and_o ceremony_n which_o his_o ambition_n approve_v not_o of_o but_o i_o think_v that_o the_o next_o daughter_n of_o hell_n be_v envy_n which_o seem_v sad_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n which_o she_o fear_v in_o this_o kingdom_n for_o envy_n love_v nothing_o but_o division_n because_o that_o vice_n and_o immoderate_a affection_n of_o our_o soul_n will_v never_o permit_v we_o to_o like_v what_o be_v do_v by_o those_o that_o we_o do_v not_o like_a or_o to_o consent_v unto_o these_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v no_o hand_n to_o in_o their_o

another_o which_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o very_a black_a garment_n where_o you_o can_v discern_v nothing_o and_o that_o be_v ignorance_n which_o can_v inform_v we_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v impose_v upon_o we_o by_o our_o superior_n for_o ignorance_n make_v we_o esteem_v the_o circumstance_n and_o garment_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v of_o as_o high_a a_o nature_n as_o the_o body_n and_o substance_n thereof_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o can_v agree_v nor_o receive_v the_o circumstantial_a thing_n which_o our_o superior_n impose_v upon_o we_o for_o the_o good_a order_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o further_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o let_v another_o monstrous_a daughter_n of_o hell_n appear_v with_o the_o other_o that_o we_o may_v eschew_v the_o fatal_a effect_n thereof_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o her_o nature_n and_o that_o be_v obstinacy_n which_o be_v not_o content_a to_o cause_v division_n but_o will_v countenance_v it_o for_o

although_o we_o know_v not_o any_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o so_o the_o obstinate_a man_n will_v remain_v in_o their_o error_n and_o entertain_v division_n now_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o division_n without_o partiality_n you_o will_v confess_v with_o i_o that_o pride_n envy_n ignorance_n and_o obstinacy_n be_v those_o monster_n which_o will_v not_o permit_v as_o now_o will_v not_o yet_o suffer_v the_o fomenter_n of_o division_n to_o adhere_v to_o those_o thing_n which_o their_o superior_n impose_v upon_o they_o for_o otherwise_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o they_o have_v not_o embroil_v this_o nation_n with_o such_o a_o cruel_a war_n neither_o have_v they_o upon_o their_o pretend_a occasion_n so_o violent_o persecute_v the_o church_n for_o these_o

man_n for_o not_o any_o of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o division_n of_o this_o kingdom_n i_o hope_v will_v blame_v the_o moderation_n of_o the_o first_o reformer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o serious_o examine_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o its_o doctrine_n discipline_n and_o worship_n to_o reject_v the_o error_n and_o heresy_n of_o the_o doctrine_n the_o tyranny_n and_o

more_o than_o that_o they_o take_v a_o way_n the_o abuse_n of_o thing_n indifferent_a in_o their_o nature_n and_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o lawful_a use_n but_o for_o all_o that_o some_o contentious_a like_o those_o that_o be_v in_o corinth_n of_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v i_o hear_v that_o there_o be_v division_n among_o you_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v they_o blame_v many_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v easy_o pass_v by_o as_o now_o many_o of_o their_o imitator_n do_v for_o the_o white_a colour_n of_o the_o garment_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n offend_v their_o sight_n they_o say_v that_o these_o garment_n be_v superstitious_o use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o if_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o clergy_n regular_a &_o secular_a do_v not_o use_v garment_n of_o several_a other_o colour_n as_o well_o as_o white_a nay_o more_o than_o that_o those_o that_o know_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o know_v it_o have_v live_v among_o they_o &_o in_o their_o communion_n 23_o or_o 24_o year_n be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o she_o make_v use_v of_o all_o sort_n of_o colour_n so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v not_o use_v any_o of_o those_o she_o make_v use_v of_o we_o shall_v go_v all_o naked_a &_o so_o we_o shall_v prove_v very_o fit_a to_o be_v among_o the_o adamite_n but_o as_o s._n jerome_n say_v very_o well_o against_o pelagius_n what_o enmity_n be_v it_o against_o god_n if_o the_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n do_v go_v in_o white_a vestment_n when_o they_o be_v to_o officiate_v moreover_o they_o will_v not_o admit_v the_o sing_n of_o the_o creed_n nor_o many_o pious_a song_n when_o other_o protestant_n beyond_o the_o sea_n who_o the_o contentious_a approve_v of_o sing_z the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o their_o

other_o do_v and_o if_o they_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v produce_v any_o passage_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o sing_n of_o the_o creed_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o circumstantial_a thing_n and_o that_o our_o protestant_n beyond_o the_o sea_n who_o the_o causer_n of_o division_n in_o this_o kingdom_n do_v approve_v of_o can_v bring_v any_o passage_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v the_o sing_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o the_o ten_o commandment_n but_o their_o contentious_a humour_n go_v yet_o further_o for_o they_o

of_o but_o for_o the_o first_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v good_a according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o join_v ourselves_o with_o the_o pastor_n in_o the_o church_n as_o you_o do_v this_o day_n in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o divine_a service_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sacred_a conce●t_n in_o imitation_n of_o that_o which_o the_o sacred_a angel_n make_v use_v of_o in_o heaven_n in_o their_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o isa_n 6._o and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o only_a church_n among_o the_o reform_a which_o make_v use_v of_o answer_n in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o divine_a service_n for_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o hungaria_n transilvania_n and_o lithuania_n as_o i_o be_o credible_o inform_v make_v use_n of_o some_o answer_n in_o their_o divine_a service_n but_o i_o need_v not_o to_o plead_v in_o that_o manner_n for_o if_o in_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v alone_o among_o the_o protestant_a church_n i_o will_v hold_v it_o lawful_a because_o it_o be_v not_o against_o scripture_n but_o rather_o conformable_a to_o it_o when_o the_o bless_a

that_o they_o be_v as_o so_o many_o production_n of_o a_o sacred_a and_o vehement_a affection_n like_o unto_o that_o of_o david_n lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o that_o of_o the_o angel_n holy_a holy_a holy_a indeed_o if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o her_o repetition_n by_o number_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v so_o that_o by_o the_o repeat_n of_o so_o many_o time_n such_o a_o prayer_n she_o shall_v think_v to_o merit_v something_o before_o god_n as_o the_o relaxation_n
heresy_n deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n as_o you_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o 15._o chapter_n some_o will_v defile_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n with_o judaical_a superstition_n which_o some_o false_a doctor_n will_v introduce_v in_o the_o church_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n moreover_o they_o will_v infect_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o the_o

that_o the_o division_n of_o the_o corinthian_n be_v not_o about_o the_o save_a knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o about_o heresy_n which_o evert_v the_o doctrine_n but_o about_o the_o manner_n of_o preach_v and_o pray_v and_o about_o the_o manner_n of_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n concern_v the_o first_o the_o contention_n be_v about_o the_o cover_n of_o the_o head_n as_o if_o we_o shall_v now_o dispute_v about_o a_o hat_n and_o a_o coif_n for_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v engage_v themselves_o in_o that_o division_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o corinthian_n as_o
