of_o the_o pure_a church_n in_o all_o age_n concern_v usury_n these_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o will_v now_o subjoine_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o

therefore_o the_o church_n have_v her_o honour_n neither_o be_v the_o confession_n of_o the_o true_a church_n to_o be_v contemn_v but_o this_o precept_n must_v be_v keep_v try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n or_o no._n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o what_o testimony_n the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n have_v follow_v if_o their_o judgement_n differ_v from_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n we_o be_v to_o cast_v they_o away_o and_o cleave_v to_o the_o word_n of_o
