the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o holy_a father_n be_v gather_v together_o that_o according_a to_o they_o by_o the_o decree_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o council_n the_o rule_n of_o faith_n may_v

that_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o second_o book_n we_o recapitulate_v &_o touch_v in_o few_o word_n the_o sum_n of_o all_o that_o which_o in_o these_o two_o commonitorie_a book_n have_v be_v speak_v we_o say_v in_o the_o premise_n that_o this_o always_o have_v be_v and_o at_o this_o day_n be_v the_o custom_n of_o catholic_n to_o try_v and_o examine_v true_a faith_n two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o divine_a scripture_n second_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n not_o because_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n be_v not_o of_o itself_o

and_o for_o that_o cause_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o divine_a scripture_n be_v direct_v according_a to_o the_o one_o only_a rule_n of_o the_o church_n understanding_n especial_o in_o those_o question_n upon_o which_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o whole_a catholic_a religion_n do_v depend_v likewise_o we_o say_v that_o in_o the_o church_n we_o have_v

a_o council_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v that_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n but_o yet_o of_o these_o only_a who_o in_o their_o time_n and_o
