               <l style="margin-left:12em;">ther are, they doe then teach them damnable hereſies, directly contrary to diuers of</l><lb/>

               <l style="margin-left:12em;">and fanatical, as by fayning to them ſelues a monſtruous new kind of ſpeach neuer</l><lb/> 
               <l style="margin-left:12em;">found in the Scriptures, nor in ancient father or writer of Chriſts Church, by which</l><lb/> 
               they doc moue ignorant &amp; ſimple people at the firſt rather to marueile at them, then to underſtand them: but yet to<lb/> 
               colour their ſect withall, they name them ſelues to be of the familie of loue, and then as many as ſhall be allowed by<lb/> 
               them to be of that familie, to be elect &amp; ſaued, and all others of what Church ſo euer they be, to be reiected and damned:<lb/>
               And for that upon conuenting of ſome of them before the Biſhops and ordinaries, it is founde that the ground of their<lb/>
               ſect maintained by certaine lewd, heretical, &amp; ſeditious bookes firſt made in the Dutch tongue, and lately tranſlated<lb/>
               into Engliſh, and printed beyonde the ſeas, and ſecretly brought ouer into the realme, the authour whereof they name<lb/>

               to be of their ſect (which they terme the familie of loue) by othe or otherwiſe deny any thing for their aduantage, ſo as<lb/>
               though many of them are well knowen to be teachers &amp; ſpreaders abroade of theſe dangerous and damnable ſects,<lb/>
               yet by their owne conteſſion they can not be condemned, whereby they are more dangerous in any Chriſtian Realme:<lb/>
