that_o i_o may_v prove_v those_o point_n of_o faith_n wherein_o the_o catholic_a roman_a church_n do_v differ_v from_o the_o protestant_n by_o holy_a scripture_n which_o our_o adversary_n urge_v i_o unto_o i_o must_v necessary_o to_o satisfy_v their_o disorder_a desire_n proceed_v disorderlie_o and_o suppose_v that_o for_o truth_n without_o proof_n which_o require_v most_o to_o be_v prove_v i_o say_v without_o proof_n if_o no_o proof_n be_v good_a but_o that_o which_o be_v make_v out_o of_o scripture_n and_o here_o occur_v by_o the_o way_n two_o thing_n worthy_a of_o note_n thone_n that_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v a_o universal_a rule_n of_o our_o faith_n seeinge_v some_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v with_o out_o proof_n of_o scripture_n as_o be_v for_o example_n that_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a scripture_n contain_v god_n word_n and_o revelation_n and_o that_o these_o and_o these_o book_n be_v such_o therefore_o must_v there_o of_o necessity_n be_v some_o other_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n more_o universal_a than_o the_o scripture_n and_o consequent_o before_o the_o scripture_n and_o this_o can_v be_v but_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n church_n which_o be_v cler_o s._n augustins_n doctrine_n who_o be_v not_o afeard_a to_o say_v i_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n 5._o but_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n do_v move_v i_o seeinge_v therefore_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n for_o we_o to_o believe_v what_o be_v scripture_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o have_v the_o like_a authority_n with_o we_o in_o other_o point_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v also_o s._n augustins_n argument_n in_o the_o same_o place_n but_o i_o will_v notwithstanding_o satisfy_v our_o adversary_n in_o their_o own_o humoure_n the_o secund_a thing_n to_o be_v note_v be_v that_o they_o that_o believe_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n be_v evident_o convince_v to_o believe_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o they_o that_o can_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v à_fw-fr holy_a scripture_n or_o what_o book_n be_v holy_a scripture_n can_v believe_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o before_o they_o believe_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n they_o must_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o scripture_n and_o what_o book_n be_v scripture_n but_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n can_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o scripture_n nor_o what_o book_n be_v holy_a

or_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o their_o positione_n to_o wit_n that_o nothing_o ought_v or_o can_v right_o be_v believe_v but_o that_o which_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n to_o be_v false_a which_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o main_a ground_n of_o all_o their_o religion_n but_o now_o have_v show_v the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o doctrine_n in_o this_o point_n i_o will_v join_v with_o

put_v down_o the_o position_n contradictory_n to_o the_o catholic_a doctrine_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o indifferent_a reader_n be_v he_o catholic_a or_o otherways_o may_v more_o easy_o judge_v
