to_o be_v follow_v by_o those_o that_o only_o sit_v at_o the_o apostle_n foot_n that_o be_v do_v they_o not_o with_o all_o plainness_n prove_v from_o scripture_n all_o that_o they_o deliver_v as_o god_n word_n this_o be_v our_o unapostolic_a way_n of_o preach_v as_o he_o call_v it_o the_o vain_a unedisy_a practice_n we_o now_o be_v in_o indeed_o we_o have_v no_o miracle_n at_o command_n to_o prove_v what_o we_o say_v as_o the_o apostle_n have_v and_o therefore_o must_v do_v it_o by_o reason_n which_o serve_v we_o to_o prove_v the_o apostle_n do_v such_o miracle_n and_o that_o again_o rational_o demonstrate_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v god_n word_n and_o then_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n in_o several_a age_n beside_o the_o understanding_n we_o must_v have_v of_o all_o the_o internal_a argument_n for_o it_o we_o must_v be_v able_a to_o show_v that_o these_o be_v the_o book_n of_o scripture_n and_o after_o all_o this_o the_o same_o reason_n must_v be_v employ_v to_o establish_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o they_o in_o order_n to_o these_o great_a end_n reason_n must_v be_v improve_v by_o the_o study_v of_o art_n science_n and_o language_n unless_o we_o have_v all_o these_o infuse_v as_o we_o need_v they_o we_o must_v acquire_v they_o therefore_o his_o argument_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hold_v good_a god_n think_v the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n needless_a after_o the_o gospel_n be_v once_o spread_v over_o the_o world_n i_o pray_v let_v we_o be_v no_o wise_a than_o god_n and_o his_o christ_n that_o be_v let_v we_o think_v the_o study_n of_o the_o language_n needless_a for_o that_o he_o mean_v or_o nothing_o yea_o ra●her_o the_o study_n of_o tongue_n be_v therefore_o necessary_a because_o the_o gift_n be_v cease_v and_o they_o can_v be_v have_v without_o study_n for_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o original_a scripture_n can_v be_v defend_v without_o a_o go●d_a
