for_o faith_n must_v have_v god_n express_a authority_n for_o her_o foundation_n here_o you_o may_v consider_v the_o miserable_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o your_o new_a ghospeller_n in_o that_o

be_v proper_o call_v heresy_n and_o so_o the_o word_n signify_v and_o let_v any_o protestant_n in_o our_o country_n of_o england_n tell_v i_o why_o he_o do_v rather_o believe_v his_o own_o judgement_n
