The

consist
not

in
the
vnderstanding
,
otherwise
if
we
follow
the

,
we
also
may
frame
vnto

a
new
opinion

affirme
that
they
who
weare

are
not
to
be
receiued

and
the
other
heretical
plagues
,
haue
not
the

of

because
they
haue
not
the
holy
Ghost
,
without
which
the
Gospel
which
is
taught
,
is
made
humane
or
of
men
.
It
is
not
in

in

not

in

It
is
a

Then
the

is
profitable
to

,
when
it

not
expounded
without
Christ
(
that
is
to
say
,
not
contrary
to
the
rule
of

deliuered
by

to
his

)
when
it
is
not
spoken
without
the
Father
;
when
he
that
preacheth
,
doth
not
insinuate
it
without

because

were
euer
wont
to

and
yet
doe
wrest
and
wring
the
same
for
the
most
part
,
by
false
interpretations
,
to
their
owne
heresies
:
Therefore
,
that
the
true
Churches
may
be
discerned
from
the
conuenticles
of
we
must
vnderstand
and
expound
those
principles
and
chiefe
points
of
doctrine

in
no
other
sense
,
then
as
the
ancient
Church
(
agreeably
to
the
scriptures
by
common
consent
,
specially
in
the
best
approued
Councels
)
expounded
them
.
For
what
(

can
be
more
firme

certaine
,
and
manifestlie
spoken
for

things

were

there
are
but
two
certaine
waies
of
peaceable
conclusion
:
the
one
,
a
sentence
of
judicial
decision
giuen
among
our selues
;
the
other
,
the
like
kinde
of
sentence
giuen
by
a
more
vniuersal
authority
,
The
former
of
which
two
waies
God
in
the
law
prescribeth
:
and
his
spirit
it
was
,
which
directed
the
very
first
Christian
Churches
to
vse
the
second
.
wherefore
they
should
not
condescend
absolutely
in
the
matter
controuersed
,
to
haue
their
judgements
ouer-ruled
by
some
such
definitiue
sentence
,
whether
it
fal
out
with
them
or
against
them
?
that
so
these
tedious
contentions
may
cease
without
some
definitiue
sentence
it
is
almost
impossible
,
that
either
confusion
should
be
avoided
,
or
hope
be
had
to
attaine
to
peace
.
To
smal
purpose
had
the
Councel
of
beene
assembled
,
if
once
their
determination
being
set
downe
,
men
might
afterwards
haue
defended
their
former
opinions
:
when
therefore
they
had
giuen
their
definitiue
sentence
,
al
controuersies
was
at
end
,
thinges
were
disputed
before
they
came
to
be
determined
,
men
afterwards
were
not
to
dispute
any
longer
,
but
to
obey
:
the
sentence
of
judgement
finished
their
strife
,
which
their
disputers
before
judgement
could
not
doe
.
This
was
ground
sufficient
for
any
reasonable
mans
conscience
,
to
build
the
duty
of
obedience
vpon
,
whatsoeuer
his
owne
opinion
were
,
as
touching
the
matter
before
in
question
.
So
ful
of
wilfulnes
&
selfe-liking
is
our
nature
,
that
without
some
defititiue
sentence
,
which
being
giuen
may
stand
,
and
a
necessity
of
silence
on
both
sides
afterwards
imposed
;
smal
hope
there
is
,
that
strifes
thus
farre
prosecuted
,
wil
in
short
time
quietly
end
:
in
his
last
booke
saue
one
written
about
these
matters
,
professeth
himselfe
to
be
nowe
weary
of
such
combats
and
encounters
,
whether
by
word
or
writing
,
in
asmuch
as
he
findeth
that
controuersies
thereby
are
made
brawles
:
and
therefore
he
wisheth
,
that
in
some
common
lawful
assembly
of
Churches
,
al
these
strifes
may
at
once
be
decided
:
they
should
be
forced
to
haue
recourse
to
general
Councels

Therefore
,
though
there
be

there
is
one
Bishop

whome
an

The
distinction
of
Bishops
and
Priests
,
is
very
necessary
for
the
pollicy
of
the
Church

to
auoid

and
to
preserue

God
is
not
the
author
of
confusion

but
to
haue
a

equallity
among
ministers
,
were
the
next
way
to
bring
in
confusion
,
if
none
should
be
ruled
or

In
the
calling
of
Bishops
somewhat
is
diuine
it
is
a
diuine
ordinance
,
that
among
the
ministers
of
the

there
should
be
a
superioritie

This
principally
seemeth
worthy
of
our
consideration
,
whether
now
betweene
the
diuines
of
other
Churches
and
ours
,
any
Sinode
can
be
called
and
assembled
.
For
who
of
vs
wil
arrogate
to
himselfe
,
to
appoint
the
place
,
to
name
the
day
,
to
cal
the
diuines
of
diuers
nations
?
Which
(
as
histories
testifie
)
was
the
proper
office
of
the
Emperours
,
before
the
Papal
tirannie
increased
.
Nowe
moreouer
,
who
shal
haue
rule
or
be
superior
in
authority
in
the
Sinode
it selfe
?
There
can
no
other
haue
this
office
,
but
either
one
of
our
side
or
of
our
aduersaries
:
but
neither
we
wil
suffer
a
president
or
chiefe
ruler
of
the
aduerse
part
,
to
the
prejudice
of
ours
:
so
neither
wil
they
(
without
doubt
)
endure
,
that
one
of
ours
should
haue
that
place
.
But
if
of
both
sides
some
be
appointed
,
then
each
one
wil
vndertake
the
patronage
of
his
owne
part
,
and
so
there
wil
arise
dissention
betweene
the
Presidents
.
Further
,
who
shal
be
judge
ouer
those
that
varie
or
contend
?
but
let
vs
put
the
case
,
or
rather
faine
and
imagine
that
the
Sinod
is
now
called
;
that
it
is
sufficiently
argued
on
both
sides
;
that
the
Presidents
haue
pronounced
their
sentence
;
that
the
pertinacious
and
fanatical
are
condemned
and
accursed
,
by
the
common
consent
and
suffrage
of
al
:
Who
then
shal
bridle
and
restraine
the
clamours
of
the
condemned
?
their
complaints
?
their
accusations
?
by
which
they
wil
exclaime
that
the
proceedings
against
them
haue
been
vnjust
;
that
they
were
not
rightly
heard
;
that
judgement
was
giuen
rather
according
to
affection
,
then
according
to
the
word
of
God
.
Hence
wil
arise
newe
swarmes
of
contentions
,
and
the
Sinode
being
ended
,
the
Church
wil
enjoy
no
more
quietnes
,
tranquillity
and
peace
,
then
was
before

The
sleepe
of
the
soule
in

life
is
more
profound
or
sound
,
then
in

The
Saints
are
in

sleepe

the

of

sleepeth

our
bedde
is
as
it
were
our

in

neuerthelesse
is
nothing
paineful

so
the
place
of
the

hath
no

they

(
as
saith
)
the

soule
of

is
sense
:
I
permit
neuertheles
that
the
Pope
make
articles
of
his
faith
:
and
to
those
that
are
his
faithful
:
such
as
are
bread

to
be
transubstantiated
in

;
the
essence
of
God
neither
to
beget

to
be

;
the
soule
to
be
a
substantial
forme
of
the
bodie
of
man
;
himselfe
to
be
the
Emperour
of
the
world
,
and
the
king
of

earthlie
God

the
soule
to
be
immortal

and
al
those
infinite
monsters
contained
in
the
dunghil
of

that
like
as
his

is

such

be

such

Although
there
be
no
publike
profession
among

that
the
soule
doth
die
together
with
the
bodie
,
and
that
there
is
no
resurrection
of

dead

yet
,
that
most
impure
and
most
vaine

which

of

,
that
they
doe
not

The

sufficiently
,
that
the

beganne
forthwith
to
be
more
and

and

this

was
almost

and
that
the

Nowe
let
the
Godly

imagine
with
himselfe
,
howe
farre
this
age
touching
this
article
went
a
stray
from
the
doctrine
of
the
Apostles
.
Prosper
retained
not
a
fewe
freckles
of
his
age
;
such
an
one
is
that
faith
only
doth
not
justifie
:
M.
Luther
See
ye
what
darkenesse
there
is
in
the
Fathers
writings
concerning
faith
.
For
when
that
article
of
the
justification
of
man
is
couered
with
darkenesse
,
it
can
by
no
meanes
be
that
greater
errors
be
auoided
:
S.
Paules
Those
Fathers
truly
taught
very
wel
,
but
they
could
bring
forth
nothing
singular
,
when
they
wrote
not
of
controuersies
and
in
confutation
of
others
:
neither
are
there
any
workes
extant
of
theirs
vpon
the
Epistle
either
to
the
or
to
the
in
which
any
thing
pure
and
sincere
may
be
found
:
S.
Hierome
he
was
deceaued
by
he
vnderstood
nothing
at
al
in
but
depraued
the
justice
of
only
faith
;
and
that
this
one
error
of
his
was
so
great
,
that
it
alone
was
sufficient
to
destroy
the
Gospel
,
by
which
if
it
had
not
beene
through
the
singular
grace
of
God
,
had
merited
rather
hel
then
heauen
:
But
howsoeuer
I
liued
as
a
irreprehensible
,
who
felt
my selfe
to
be
a
sinner
of
a
most
vnquiet
conscience
before
God
,
neither
could
I
haue
confidence
that
he
was
appeased
with
my
satisfaction
,
did
not
loue
,
yea
I
hated
God
iust
and
punishing
sinners
;
and
inwardly
in
my
hart
if
not
with
a
blaspheamous
,
truly
with
a
very
great
murmuring
or
grudging
,
I
repined
and
was
displeased
with
God
,
saying
:
As
though
it
were
not
sufficient
that
miserable
and
wreatched
sinners
,
and
eternally
lost
by
original
sinne
,
are
by
the
lawe
of
the
tenne
Commandements
oppressed
with
al
kinde
of
calamity
,
except
God
did
by
the
Gospel
adde
griefe
to
griefe
,
and
threaten
also
by
the
Gospel
his
iustice
and
anger
vpon
vs
;
I
was
therefore
madde
and
did
rage
through
an
angry
and
troubled
conscience
.
Wherefore
,
by
howe
much
the
more
I
hated
before
these
wordes
(
the
iustice
of
God
)
with
so
much
the
greater
loue
I
extolled
that
sweete
word
vnto
me
so
this
place
of
was
truly
vnto
me
Afterwardes
I
read
in
his
booke
where
beyond
my
expectation
I
found
,
that
he
also
doth
so
interprete
the
iustice
of
God
,
to
be
that
with
which
he
clotheth
vs
,
when
he
doth
iustifie
vs
.
And
although
this
was
spoken
imperfectly
,
and
he
doth
not
explicate
al
thinges
clearely
concerning
imputation
,
yet
it
pleased
me
that
he
taught
the
iustice
of
God
to
be
that
,
by
which
we
are
iustified

There

no

hath

troubled

then
this
of

;
and
not
only
my selfe

what

on

side
,
but
I
haue
also
sought
out
the
judgement
of
the
old
writers
touching
the
same
.
And
when
I
haue
laied
al
together
,
I
finde
no
good
reason
that
may
satisfie
a
conscience
departing
from
the
propriety
of
Christes
wordes
;
this
is
my
body
.
You
gather
many
absurdities
Sacramentary
)
which
followe
this
opinion
,
but
absurdities
wil
not
trouble
him
who
remembreth
,
that
we
must
judge
of
diuine
matters
according
to
Gods
word
,
not
according
to
Geomatry
.
I
finde
no
reason
howe
I
may
depart
from
this
opinion
touching
the
real
presence
.
Wel
it
may
be
an
other
opinion
more
agreable
to
mans
reason
,
may
please
an
idle
minde
,
especially
if
the
said
opinion
be
furnished
and
commended
with
arguments
wel
handled
:
but
what
shal
be
come
of
vs
in
tentation
,
when
our
conscience
shal
be
called
to
an
account
,
what
cause
we
had
to
dissent
from
the
receiued
opinion
in
the
Church
?
Then
these
wordes
(
this
is
my
body
)
wil
be
thunderbolts
:
Melancthon
.
Luther
Wheras
Gods
power
surpasseth
al
cogitation
,
and
worketh
that
which
is
to
our
reason
incomprehensible
,
and
which
only
faith
beleeueth
;
and
the
same
God
said
;
This
is
my
body
which
shal
be
deliuered
for
you
,
howe
can
I
perswade
my
conscience
,
that
God
hath
neither
meanes
nor
ability
to
doe
as
his
wordes
sound
?
These
good
by
their
loathing
and
abhorring
such
thinges
,
make
way
to
the
denial
of
Christ
,
and
God
himselfe
,
and
of
al
articles
of
our
faith
.
And
truly
for
a
great
part
,
they
haue
already
begunne
to
beleeue
nothing
:
for
they
bring
themselues
within
the
compasse
of
reason
,
which
is
the
right
way
to
damnation
.
And
themselues
knowe
,
that
these
Ethnical
cauils
,
either
are
nothing
worth
against
this
article
,
or
if
they
conclude
any
thing
against
this
,
they
doe
the
like
against
al
:
for
the
word
of
God
is
foolishnes
to
mans
reason
,
And
they
would
neuer
haue
vttered
this
,
had
they
had
any
regard
of
the
Scripture
,
and
were
not
their
harts
ful
of
infidelity
,
so
as
their
mouth
speaketh
out
of
the
aboundance
of
their
hart
.
If
these
be
the
groundes
and
reasons
which
should
certifie
vs
of
the
truth
,
and
proue
our
faith
and
confirme
our
conscience
,
then
truly
we
are
in
euil
case
.
If
a
man
had
deliuered
me
such
bookes
without
title
or
name
and
I
knewe
not
otherwise
such
learned
and
excellent
men
to
haue
beene
the
Authours
of
them

I
should
surely
haue
thought
that
some
iesting
Comediant
or
vagabond
,
had
made
them
in
despite
and
derision
of
Christians
.
Verily
I
see
not
howe
they
can
be
excused
with
any
probable
pretence
,
as
many
other
haue
had
:
for
it
appeareth
,
that
they
play
with
Gods
word
of
wilfulnesse
and
malice
.

thinke
it
cannot
be

that

should
indeede

Christ
is
truly
deliuered

Christ
pronounceth
that
his

is
the

his

with
such
foode
I
offer
my

In

I
nothing

he
doth
truly
deliuer

I
doe

vntil
we

so
it
is
necessary
that
we
prudently
discerne
truth

falshood
.
And
we
must
juditiously
consider
,
whether
the
word
of
God
be
truly

for
we

Freewil
is
a
forged

thing

power
to

euil
,

al
thinges

out

There
is
no
doubt

this
word
freewil

came
from
the
Deuil
,

that
he
was
master
of
it

in

it
is
a
thing
to
be
lamented

that

attaine

some

Therefore
there
is

There
is
Christs
body
,
but
not

after

We

denie

Christ
himselfe
,
who

,
is
spiritually
to

.
But
we
grant
not
that
the
Eucharist
it selfe
is

We
say
the

is
to
be
reuerenced
as
an
holy
mistery
,
but
not
to
be

But
you
must
remember
that
I
doe
referre
you
to
this
booke
:
and
not
to
the
translation
of
it
.
Why
?
some
may
say
is
it
not
faithfully
translated
?
Shal
we
thinke
that
such
zealous
men
as
had
to
deale
herein
,
would
serue
vs
as
the
Iesuites
doe
?
It
is
we
knowe
a
practise
with
that
false
hipocritical
broode
to
leaue
out
and
thrust
in
what
they
list
into
the
writinges
of
the
auncient
Fathers
that
thereby
in
time
,
nothing
might
appeare
,
which
should
any
way
make
against
them
.
But
we
wil
neuer
suspect
nor
beleeue
,
that
any
man
who
feareth
God
;
and
least
of
al
that
any
of
that
sort
,
which
are
so
earnest
against
al
abuses
and
corruptions
,
shal
play
such
a
prancke
.
Surely
we
doe
wel
to
judge
the
best
:
and
I
my selfe
was
of
your
opinian
,
but
now
I
am
cleane
altered
.
How
were
some
of
workes
vsed
at
and
it
is
true
that
some
other
bookes
haue
beene
handled
vary
strangely
else
where
.
But
concerning
the
present
point
,
this
the
truth
.
The
translator
of
booke
,
hath
quite
omitted
the
wordes
which
I
haue
alleaged
;
and
al
the
rest
which
tendeth
to
that
purpose
,
euen
seauenteene
lines
together
.
So
as
if
you
see
but
the
booke
,
you
shal
not
finde
so
much
as
one
steppe
whereby
you
might
suspect
,
that
euer
had
carried
so
hard
a
hand
ouer
the
pretend●d
widowes
.
If
the
translatour
had
receiued
any
commission
from
the
author
,
to
haue
dealt
in
that
sort
with
his
booke
:
yet
it
should
haue
beene
signified
either
in
some
preface
,
or
in
some
note
,
or
by
some
meanes
or
other
:
but
to
leaue
luch
a
matter
out
,
and
to
giue
no
general
warning
of
it
,
I
tel
you
plainely
it
was
great
dishonesty
and
lewdnes
