enoch_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v believe_v before_o the_o flood_n we_o believe_v as_o abraham_n isaac_n &_o jaacob_n do_v believe_v &_o the_o other_o godly_a patriarch_n before_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n we_o believe_v as_o the_o bless_a apostle_n of_o our_o lord_n &_o other_o holy_a teacher_n in_o the_o church_n a_o long_a time_n after_o they_o do_v but_o you_o

that_o you_o believe_v as_o the_o holy_a father_n before_o the_o flow_v as_o the_o patriarch_n after_o the_o flood_n as_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n then_o doubtless_o you_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n but_o these_o be_v but_o word_n how_o will_v you_o prove_v this_o we_o say_v still_o you_o be_v heretic_n and_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o faith_n of_o these_o and_o we_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o reason_n because_o you_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o the_o faith_n of_o those_o forefather_n which_o succeed_v these_o for_o the_o father_n of_o our_o church_n be_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o you_o be_v fall_v from_o they_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o apostle_n pro._n then_o you_o grant_v that_o those_o have_v the_o truth_n on_o their_o side_n which_o believe_v as_o the_o apostle_n prophet_n &_o patriarch_n do_v it_o remain_v only_o in_o trial_n which_o of_o we_o hold_v that_o faith_n which_o they_o do_v we_o prove_v that_o we_o do_v because_o we_o acknowledge_v nothing_o but_o the_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o the_o bible_n upon_o which_o their_o faith_n be_v ground_v you_o bring_v for_o your_o proof_n the_o doctrine_n &_o succession_n of_o some_o man_n for_o certain_a hundred_o year_n let_v we_o now_o see_v who_o bring_v the_o best_o and_o sure_a proof_n say_v what_o you_o can_v to_o weaken_v we_o &_o then_o i_o will_v show_v that_o the_o father_n which_o you_o boast_v of_o from_o who_o we_o separate_v ourselves_o be_v no_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o in_o depart_v from_o they_o we_o depart_v not_o from_o the_o apostle_n who_o doctrine_n we_o hold_v pa._n what_o be_v you_o the_o better_a to_o say_v you_o bring_v the_o scripture_n and_o you_o believe_v nothing_o but_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v be_v try_v by_o the_o scripture_n by_o this_o you_o prove_v that_o you_o believe_v as_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n do_v your_o reason_n be_v not_o good_a because_o the_o scripture_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v

not_o the_o church_n if_o you_o may_v take_v they_o after_o your_o own_o interpretation_n than_o you_o will_v do_v well_o enough_o but_o the_o church_n which_o we_o be_v be_v to_o interpret_v they_o

that_o in_o no_o wise_a they_o may_v be_v understand_v or_o have_v any_o certainty_n in_o they_o but_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o clergy_n for_o that_o be_v most_o

god_n word_n which_o stand_v sure_a on_o our_o side_n and_o make_v flat_a against_o you_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v expound_v right_o but_o one_o way_n have_v but_o one_o sense_n pa._n that_o which_o you_o do_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n peter_n do_v make_v for_o we_o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a do_v pervert_v not_o only_o those_o hard_a thing_n but_o

3._o 1._o tim._n 3._o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n &_o ground_n of_o truth_n then_o i_o reason_v thus_o the_o unlearned_a do_v pervert_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o deal_v with_o they_o no_o private_a person_n be_v to_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o none_o but_o the_o church_n or_o those_o which_o have_v the_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n and_o because_o the_o
that_o which_o i_o grant_v some_o do_v abuse_v the_o scripture_n if_o a_o man_n can_v tell_v which_o they_o be_v than_o it_o shall_v suffice_v to_o take_v they_o from_o those_o but_o because_o it_o

this_o be_v a_o great_a reason_n i_o pray_v you_o if_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v what_o do_v it_o cost_v you_o pa._n this_o be_v a_o pretty_a conveyance_n when_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o answer_v

you_o say_v right_a for_o those_o which_o the_o scripture_n condemn_v we_o must_v confess_v to_o be_v idol_n then_o if_o i_o prove_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v condenne_n image_n it_o must_v
