be_v to_o take_v we_o off_o from_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o cast_v we_o and_o our_o conscience_n on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n we_o list_v not_o to_o dispute_v with_o they_o about_o the_o infallibility_n of_o that_o which_o they_o call_v their_o church_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o the_o learned_a among_o they_o do_v not_o themselves_o believe_v what_o themselves_o do_v

church_n authority_n we_o know_v not_o any_o such_o authority_n the_o church_n as_o church_n ●●_z be_v not_o a_o domination_n but_o a_o ministration_n but_o that_o we_o may_v not_o leave_v any_o rub_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o weak_a as_o touch_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o touch_v the_o original_n and_o translation_n we_o will_v shut_v up_o all_o in_o brief_a for_o the_o

do_v shake_v hand_n in_o this_o that_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n have_v preserve_v they_o uncorrupt_a what_o if_o there_o be_v variety_n of_o read_n in_o some_o copy_n and_o some_o mistake_n in_o
