can_v not_o the_o copy_n thereof_o be_v so_o many_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n disperse_v throughout_o the_o world_n second_o because_o she_o think_v it_o not_o so_o needful_a have_v other_o mean_n to_o work_v her_o devilish_a devise_n for_o although_o she_o can_v not_o corrupt_v the_o scripture_n yet_o it_o make_v the_o less_o matter_n because_o she_o find_v mean_n to_o diminish_v and_o control_v the_o authority_n thereof_o by_o advance_v decree_n of_o man_n pope_n and_o counsel_n to_o be_v equal_a or_o of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o scripture_n three_o because_o she_o will_v be_v less_o in_o fear_n to_o be_v reprove_v by_o the_o scripture_n she_o provide_v that_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o shall_v be_v hide_v from_o the_o unlearned_a people_n by_o a_o strange_a tongue_n and_o from_o the_o learned_a by_o the_o tedious_a maze_n of_o question_n devise_v by_o her_o canonist_n and_o sententiary_n four_o because_o she_o submit_v all_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o her_o own_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o be_v control_v by_o the_o judgement_n thereof_o but_o will_v always_o expound_v it_o as_o it_o like_v she_o best_o as_o appear_v by_o ockam_n and_o duns_n who_o though_o they_o confess_v that_o transubstantiation_n seem_v to_o they_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o reason_n yet_o they_o believe_v it_o because_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o for_o none_o other_o cause_n these_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o romish_a church_n do_v not_o as_o well_o corrupt_a the_o text_n of_o the_o testament_n as_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o yet_o how_o corrupt_a that_o latin_a translation_n be_v which_o they_o will_v needs_o thrust_v upon_o we_o be_v sufficient_o know_v to_o all_o learned_a man_n even_o in_o such_o text_n as_o be_v the_o most_o coulerable_a place_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o popish_a doctrine_n i_o will_v geve_v one_o example_n for_o all_o they_o allege_v the_o text_n 1._o cor._n

end_n for_o which_o popish_a prelate_n maintain_v popish_a religion_n take_v away_o the_o pope_n prerogative_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n his_o word_n down_o go_v cardinal_n

itself_o although_o she_o preserve_v not_o the_o word_n itself_o in_o such_o safety_n as_o become_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n 3_o show_v i_o why_o we_o shall_v believe_v the_o papist_n as_o you_o
