pray_v you_o if_o you_o can_v 1._o the_o first_o be_v reason_n because_o the_o write_a text_n be_v mute_a and_o dumb_a utter_v nothing_o to_o we_o from_o the_o book_n but_o only_o the_o word_n and_o

wrangler_n may_v construe_v still_o to_o his_o own_o understanding_n against_o all_o the_o world_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o s._n augustine_n say_v reason_n be_v very_o full_a of_o hard_a and_o deep_a anystery_n in_o so_o much_o that_o when_o honoratus_n say_v to_o he_o as_o many_o unlearned_a man_n say_v now_o a_o day_n that_o he_o understand_v

therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o though_o man_n be_v never_o so_o perverse_a yet_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o pose_v you_o then_o one_o question_v far_o to_o y_fw-fr e_o quick_a how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o know_v by_o any_o conference_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v canonical_a scripture_n and_o which_o be_v not_o certain_o if_o any_o infidel_n will_v deny_v the_o old_a

yea_o if_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v deny_v all_o the_o new_a testament_n also_o we_o have_v no_o sure_a anchor_n hold_v against_o he_o but_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n by_o tradition_n to_o his_o church_n which_o be_v the_o pyllor_n and_o sure_a stay_n of_o truth_n which_o s._n augustine_n well_o see_v think_v he_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v with_o due_a reverence_n to_o god_n and_o holy_a scripture_n both_o i_o shall_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n except_o the_o authority_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o church_n do_v move_v i_o thereunto_o meaning_n that_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o universal_a

we_o to_o give_v credit_n unto_o therefore_o let_v any_o man_n beware_v of_o fli_v from_o the_o church_n judgement_n to_o the_o scripture_n only_o lest_o the_o scripture_n itself_o shall_v utter_o be_v deny_v as_o by_o some_o atheist_n in_o england_n as_o i_o hear_v say_v be_v already_o and_o then_o may_v such_o infidel_n laugh_v all_o heretic_n to_o scorn_n for_o rob_v themselves_o of_o
