understand_v either_o that_o the_o legend_n be_v of_o as_o good_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o scripture_n or_o that_o in_o their_o public_a office_n they_o use_v legend_n where_o they_o shall_v have_v use_v the_o scripture_n he_o show_v there_o be_v too_o much_o occasion_n give_v for_o the_o former_a among_o they_o as_o when_o they_o own_o in_o their_o public_a office_n that_o st._n bridget_n revelation_n come_v immediate_o from_o god_n to_o her._n but_o here_o our_o author_n interpose_v and_o say_v how_o do_v the_o papist_n change_v the_o scripture_n into_o legend_n when_o he_o be_v command_v by_o his_o church_n to_o own_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o if_o he_o own_v the_o scripture_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v command_v by_o his_o church_n then_o wherein_o be_v the_o difference_n if_o he_o be_v command_v by_o his_o church_n to_o believe_v a_o legend_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a revelation_n our_o author_n will_v have_v do_v a_o kind_a part_n if_o he_o have_v set_v we_o right_o in_o this_o matter_n between_o divine_a revelation_n and_o divine_a revelation_n between_o the_o revelation_n for_o scripture_n and_o the_o divine_a revelation_n for_o the_o legend_n but_o he_o say_v for_o all_o this_o a_o person_n be_v not_o alike_o oblige_v to_o assent_v no_o although_o the_o church_n require_v it_o but_o that_o say_v he_o the_o church_n do_v not_o for_o though_o he_o may_v read_v legend_n if_o he_o please_v yet_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o his_o church_n or_o religion_n to_o give_v assent_n to_o or_o believe_v any_o one_o passage_n in_o any_o one_o legend_n whatsoever_o if_o he_o have_v no_o better_a authority_n for_o the_o latter_a branch_n than_o the_o former_a for_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o assent_v than_o for_o he_o may_v read_v they_o if_o he_o please_v his_o cause_n be_v uncapable_a of_o his_o support_n for_o how_o can_v he_o be_v at_o liberty_n whether_o he_o will_v read_v hear_v they_o if_o he_o please_v when_o they_o be_v insert_v into_o the_o body_n of_o their_o church-service_n and_o be_v lesson_n choose_v out_o for_o their_o instruction_n and_o he_o can_v as_o little_a say_v they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o assent_v to_o they_o when_o the_o church_n itself_o say_v in_o its_o public_a office_n they_o come_v immediate_o from_o god._n be_v it_o at_o last_o all_o come_v to_o this_o that_o when_o thing_n be_v institute_v by_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o order_n of_o st._n benedict_n 14._o and_o be_v receive_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o those_o order_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o in_o ordain_v some_o festival_n and_o declare_v other_o to_o be_v divine_o inspire_v as_o st._n brigit_fw-la and_o st._n catherine_n and_o to_o come_v immediate_o from_o god_n as_o their_o office_n be_v it_o all_o i_o say_v come_v to_o this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v assent_n to_o or_o believe_v any_o one_o passage_n in_o any_o legend_n whatsoever_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o to_o believe_v any_o one_o to_o be_v a_o saint_n their_o church_n have_v canonize_v no_o not_o st._n

to_o have_v judge_v those_o thing_n worthy_a of_o credit_n which_o he_o be_v canonize_v for_o yet_o no_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v bind_v to_o assent_v or_o believe_v but_o he_o
