be_v make_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v must_v be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n and_o heresy_n be_v a_o obstinate_a oppose_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n there_o can_v be_v no_o heresy_n

and_o to_o hold_v the_o contrary_a to_o they_o especial_o with_o obstinacy_n be_v heresy_n but_o there_o be_v other_o which_o be_v indirect_o against_o faith_n from_o whence_o something_o follow_v which_o overthrow_v faith_n as_o for_o any_o one_o to_o deny_v that_o samuel_n be_v the_o son_n of_o helcanah_n the_o consequence_n will_v be_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v false_a 3._o he_o make_v

and_o in_o this_o case_n there_o may_v be_v a_o erroneous_a opinion_n in_o faith_n without_o heresy_n so_o that_o a_o erroneous_a opinion_n lie_v in_o not_o attend_v to_o the_o consequence_n of_o that_o opinion_n as_o against_o faith_n and_o not_o maintain_v it_o obstinate_o but_o he_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o declare_v such_o a_o opinion_n to_o be_v against_o
