same_o god_n have_v express_v he_o same_o mind_n in_o his_o write_a word_n and_o therefore_o the_o write_a word_n must_v agree_v both_o to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n that_o declare_v it_o and_o to_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o man_n that_o be_v form_v by_o the_o same_o original_a and_o they_o can_v but_o all_o answer_n to_o each_o other_o if_o these_o three_o agree_v and_o be_v unite_v and_o bring_v together_o by_o christ_n as_o certain_o they_o be_v for_o all_o three_o meet_v in_o he_o and_o come_v forth_o together_o from_o he_o then_o if_o we_o true_o understand_v one_o we_o shall_v understand_v all_o and_o that_o which_o be_v true_o spiritual_a or_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v also_o most_o rational_a and_o that_o which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o rational_a be_v also_o scriptural_a or_o according_a to_o the_o write_a word_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a on_o the_o contrary_a that_o what_o pretend_v to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o be_v not_o also_o rational_a be_v not_o of_o the_o man_n christ_n but_o be_v a_o spiritual_a beast_n and_o what_o seem_v rational_a and_o be_v not_o also_o spiritual_a that_o do_v not_o derive_v itself_o from_o the_o heavenly_a man_n it_o be_v earthly_a and_o sensual_a at_o least_o and_o what_o man_n have_v from_o the_o scripture_n only_o and_o not_o from_o the_o heavenly_a pattern_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o break_a reed_n not_o fit_a to_o measure_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o heavenly_a mind_n which_o give_v forth_o the_o scripture_n can_v only_o interpret_v they_o and_o what_o be_v spiritual_a and_o scriptural_a will_v be_v also_o

these_o three_o agree_v in_o he_o she_o can_v subject_v to_o any_o thing_n right_o but_o what_o have_v the_o light_n of_o all_o three_o in_o it_o neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o demonstration_n

these_o may_v challenge_v belief_n from_o all_o man_n and_o christian_n and_o from_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o it_o be_v great_a breach_n of_o charity_n and_o trust_n to_o doubt_v the_o success_n
