do_v speak_v after_o a_o far_a other_o manner_n of_o it_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o book_n eccles_n worthy_a that_o all_o shall_v be_v much_o verse_v in_o it_o and_o that_o all_o and_o especial_o

that_o it_o be_v contentious_a swell_a dry_a strawy_a and_o unworthy_a a_o apostolical_a spirit_n thus_o also_o divers_a other_o romanist_n have_v charge_v luther_n answ_n as_o campian_n duraeus_n

this_o favour_n yet_o how_o shall_v they_o do_v it_o at_o wittemberge_n where_o i_o suppose_v not_o the_o zwinglians_n but_o the_o lutheran_n do_v bear_v sway_n and_o will_v have_v the_o chief_a

gerhard_n a_o great_a lutheran_n say_v that_o luther_n indeed_o in_o his_o preface_n to_o s._n james_n his_o epistle_n in_o the_o first_o edition_n of_o the_o german_a bible_n do_v say_v that_o this_o
