that_o we_o learn_v tradition_n and_o by_o tradition_n the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o three_o that_o it_o be_v the_o church_n and_o her_o pastor_n assemble_v which_o shall_v

anew_o that_o which_o they_o have_v resolve_v the_o four_o and_o last_o that_o this_o authority_n be_v so_o necessary_a that_o after_o have_v deny_v it_o we_o have_v be_v force_v to_o establish_v it_o among_o we_o by_o our_o discipline_n by_o the_o act_n of_o our_o synod_n and_o by_o our_o practice_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o faith_n itself_o as_o to_o the_o first_o we_o agree_v with_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n that_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v the_o guardian_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o as_o she_o have_v receive_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n from_o the_o jewish_a

acknowledge_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o lawful_a reason_n which_o at_o first_o make_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o revelation_n from_o heaven_n but_o we_o do_v deny_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v mere_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o that_o it_o be_v principal_o by_o her_o authority_n that_o we_o receive_v the_o scripture_n as_o the_o divine_a word_n the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o testimony_n which_o itself_o give_v of_o its_o divinity_n and_o of_o the_o efficacious_a power_n which_o it_o have_v upon_o heart_n by_o the_o
