of_o the_o ancient_a father_n do_v deny_v the_o scripture_n to_o any_o heretic_n as_o they_o suppose_v we_o to_o be_v that_o they_o may_v show_v his_o case_n plain_a and_o austin_n say_v that_o the_o

little_a high_o their_o church_n not_o only_o to_o be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a but_o none_o at_o all_o but_o be_v i_o be_o not_o afraid_a of_o their_o arrow_n which_o they_o can_v take_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v they_o the_o bible_n have_v thus_o far_o secure_v the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n about_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n i_o descend_v to_o the_o propriety_n of_o they_o i_o affirm_v therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v perfect_a as_o well_o touch_v the_o perfection_n of_o part_n as_o of_o degree_n and_o thence_o to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o our_o salvation_n the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a say_v david_n 119._o psal_n 119._o and_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o it_o be_v show_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o forementioned_a word_n 2_o tim._n 3.16_o the_o accession_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o the_o old_a make_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o perfection_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n because_o he_o that_o declare_v all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n speak_v nothing_o other_o than_o what_o moses_n do_v say_v and_o the_o prophet_n as_o we_o write_v before_o hence_o the_o old_a father_n say_v very_o well_o as_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v hide_v in_o the_o old_a so_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v declare_v in_o the_o new_a neither_o gradus_fw-la variat_fw-la speciem_fw-la do_v a_o degree_n

to_o commit_v a_o fallacy_n of_o division_n and_o as_o we_o do_v just_o cut_v off_o from_o this_o perfection_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n the_o book_n call_v apocrypha_fw-la by_o reason_n
