of_o his_o church_n from_o who_o alone_o both_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v draw_v their_o doctrine_n who_o as_o he_o be_v author_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o be_v he_o also_o the_o interpreter_n as_o peter_n say_v that_o no_o scripture_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v of_o any_o private_a interpretation_n he_o therefore_o will_v have_v all_o the_o
