you_o of_o this_o dangerous_a deceit_n when_o i_o can_v not_o have_v opportunity_n to_o speak_v unto_o you_o our_o of_o the_o pulpit_n and_o this_o i_o be_v move_v to_o unat_v this_o time_n the_o rather_o because_o i_o have_v of_o late_o observe_v that_o these_o artificial_a liar_n among_o their_o other_o device_n and_o forgery_n which_o upon_o confidence_n of_o this_o art_n they_o take_v

that_o among_o our_o learned_a man_n many_o in_o heart_n be_v of_o their_o church_n howsoever_o for_o the_o world_n sake_n they_o dissemble_v their_o opinion_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o good_a

our_o great_a clerk_n who_o have_v more_o than_o intimate_v to_o myself_o that_o i_o know_v that_o which_o may_v justify_v their_o cause_n if_o i_o will_v speak_v it_o which_o may_v well_o put_v i_o

for_o as_o if_o they_o have_v cast_v off_o all_o fear_n of_o shame_n which_o be_v sure_a in_o the_o end_n to_o be_v their_o reward_n they_o have_v in_o write_v belie_v in_o this_o manner_n the_o

of_o the_o most_o constant_a and_o zealous_a professor_n of_o our_o religion_n they_o give_v it_o out_o to_o the_o world_n that_o such_o and_o such_o man_n of_o chief_a esteem_n in_o the_o

but_o these_o consequent_n be_v most_o absurd_a and_o therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n from_o whence_o they_o follow_v be_v most_o false_a thus_o by_o god_n grace_n i_o have_v

well-meaning_a christian_a and_o that_o be_v to_o beware_v of_o trust_v they_o who_o profession_n be_v to_o equivocate_v for_o such_o man_n be_v both_o more_o impious_a and_o more_o dangerous_a than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o liar_n that_o i_o know_v beside_o first_o they_o be_v more_o impious_a because_o among_o man_n of_o other_o religion_n though_o there_o may_v be_v vicious_a person_n that_o make_v too_o common_a a_o practice_n of_o lie_a deceit_n yet_o that_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o man_n and_o not_o of_o their_o doctrine_n but_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n their_o great_a doctor_n do_v not_o only_o practice_v this_o deceit_n but_o praise_v it_o too_o and_o commend_v it_o to_o their_o disciple_n as_o a_o good_a art_n very_o fit_a fo●_n scrupulous_a conscience_n which_o doctrine_n can_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v without_o great_a dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o much_o disgrace_n to_o religion_n second_o they_o be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o liar_n because_o they_o come_v mask_v under_o a_o vizard_n of_o truth_n &_o arm_v with_o resolution_n to_o protest_v and_o swear_v and_o pawn_v their_o soul_n and_o salvation_n upon_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o they_o say_v notwithstanding_o that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o utter_v and_o for_o all_o that_o you_o can_v hear_v or_o gather_v by_o they_o all_o be_v most_o false_a which_o they_o speak_v from_o the_o consideration_n whereof_o i_o infer_v before_o that_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o believe_v a_o jesuite_n or_o any_o of_o his_o fellow_n or_o scholar_n for_o that_o a_o man_n may_v as_o soon_o be_v deceive_v by_o a_o equivocate_a jesuite_n as_o by_o a_o lie_a devil_n now_o i_o add_v therefore_o wise_a christian_n must_v beware_v of_o they_o and_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v deceive_v we_o must_v not_o believe_v either_o their_o word_n or_o oath_n in_o what_o business_n soever_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o this_o caveat_n that_o it_o may_v the_o better_a appear_v how_o far_o it_o be_v to_o be_v extend_v i_o will_v for_o example_n sake_n set_v down_o some_o special_a case_n of_o ordinary_a use_n in_o which_o it_o will_v 〈…〉_o to_o believe_v they_o 1._o ●irst_n than_o we_o may_v not_o safe_o believe_v they_o when_o they_o be_v dispute_v and_o argue_v for_o their_o religion_n and_o deliver_v point_n of_o their_o faith_n for_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o jesus_n our_o lord_n do_v equivocate_v when_o he_o preach_v of_o prayer_n and_o sacrament_n and_o of_o his_o office_n of_o judge_v the_o world_n etc._n etc._n and_o i_o trow_v jesuite_n will_n be_v ready_a to_o imitate_v the_o example_n of_o jesus_n who_o name_n they_o bear_v but_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_v of_o their_o meaning_n in_o this_o case_n for_o they_o therefore_o allege_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v defend_v and_o make_v good_a their_o own_o practice_n and_o therefore_o when_o i_o hear_v a_o priest_n or_o a_o jesuite_n tell_v of_o pope_n pardon_n and_o preach_v of_o s._n patrick_n purgatory_n etc._n etc._n and_o when_o for_o these_o he_o tell_v i_o of_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o allege_v many_o father_n to_o confirm_v his_o assertion_n how_o can_v i_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o do_v not_o equivocate_v with_o i_o in_o that_o case_n or_o what_o reason_n have_v i_o to_o think_v but_o that_o he_o speak_v against_o his_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n or_o how_o can_v i_o without_o a_o note_n of_o rashness_n and_o temeritie_n believe_v that_o he●_n do_v not_o wilful_o belie_v the_o father_n and_o other_o author_n to_o

they_o give_v answer_n or_o bear_v witness_n in_o a_o court_n of_o justice_n or_o before_o a_o magistrate_n no_o not_o though_o they_o swear_v what_o they_o say_v and_o take_v it_o upon_o their_o soul_n and_o salvation_n for_o they_o profess_v to_o equivocate_v in_o such_o case_n if_o either_o the_o judge_n be_v incompetent_a or_o if_o he_o proceed_v incompetent_o and_o when_o i_o hear_v one_o of_o they_o speak_v and_o swear_v before_o any_o of_o our_o governor_n or_o ruler_n either_o ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a what_o can_v i_o tell_v but_o he_o may_v think_v either_o the_o judge_n or_o his_o proceed_n to_o be_v incompetent_a and_o unjust_a nay_o sure_a in_o most_o case_n in_o which_o they_o have_v to_o do_v before_o our_o governor_n they_o be_v know_v to_o hold_v either_o the_o judge_n or_o the_o proceed_n or_o both_o to_o be_v incompetent_a and_o therefore_o i_o can_v see_v how_o we_o may_v safe_o believe_v they_o when_o they_o make_v answer_v or_o give_v evidence_n upon_o their_o oath_n three_o we_o may_v not_o believe_v they_o when_o they_o tell_v of_o great_a wonder_n and_o miracle_n do_v by_o man_n of_o their_o order_n and_o profussion_n and_o by_o saint_n and_o

great_a a_o good_a to_o their_o order_n to_o their_o church_n and_o to_o their_o religion_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o tell_v i_o of_o many_o great_a miracle_n don●_n by_o their_o man_n in_o the_o indies_n and_o by_o the_o lady_n of_o lauretto_n and_o hall_n how_o can_v i_o tell_v that_o they_o do_v not_o fitten_v and_o devise_v all_o that_o upon_o their_o finger_n end_n to_o gain_v

our_o church_n for_o the_o disgrace_n of_o these_o man_n may_v breed_v great_a advantage_n to_o their_o religion_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v a_o axiom_n of_o they_o he_o must_v be_v disgrace_v because_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o their_o order_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o tell_v i_o of_o luther_n and_o caluin_n and_o beza_n and_o bucer_n and_o such_o other_o that_o they_o either_o despair_v or_o recant_v or_o renounce_v their_o religion_n how_o may_v i_o believe_v they_o that_o they_o do_v not_o equivocate_v nay_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o the_o forge_n of_o these_o report_n they_o do_v either_o lie_n or_o equivocate_v or_o both_o and_o therefore_o when_o they_o now_o tell_v we_o that_o many_o of_o our_o reverend_a bishop_n and_o learned_a preacher_n and_o

to_o their_o word_n or_o to_o their_o writing_n and_o when_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o such_o a_o doctor_n upon_o his_o deathbed_n and_o such_o a_o bishop_n towards_o his_o latter_a end_n turn_v

shall_v we_o believe_v they_o to_o speak_v as_o they_o think_v nay_o we_o shall_v rather_o spit_v in_o the_o liar_n face_n that_o presume_v we_o to_o be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o believe_v a_o
