it_o with_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n and_o albeit_o man_n spirit_n be_v not_o able_a to_o accord_v with_o some_o book_n &_o text_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o mater_fw-la be_v not_o much_o to_o be_v pass_v upon_o for_o we_o know_v that_o man_n judgement_n ought_v to_o be_v apply_v and_o obey_v unto_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o the_o scripture_n unto_o man_n judgement_n and_o touch_v the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o holy_a canonical_a scripture_n this_o have_v i_o think_v and_o after_o the_o example_n of_o other_o christian_a minister_n i_o have_v teach_v and_o yet_o still_o i_o think_v and_o confess_v unto_o the_o world_n that_o it_o ought_v 1._o 1._o pe._n 1._o not_o nor_o must_v be_v interpret_v or_o expound_v after_o any_o man_n opinion_n or_o thought_n much_o less_o after_o every_o man_n pleasure_n and_o fantasy_n but_o by_o itself_o and_o of_o itself_o aswell_o according_a to_o the_o proprety_n of_o the_o tongue_n wherein_o it_o be_v first_o write_v and_o by_o diligent_a wayeng_a and_o consideration_n of_o the_o sayenge_n that_o go_v before_o and_o those_o that_o be_v join_v together_o and_o follow_v with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n as_o also_o according_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o other_o place_n that_o seem_v either_o more_o plain_a or_o like_v there_o unto_o or_o else_o contrary_a by_o the_o line_n and_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o charity_n and_o where_o the_o father_n the_o doctor_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n have_v interpret_v doctor_n doctor_n and_o expound_v the_o scripture_n after_o this_o manner_n and_o have_v in_o no_o wise_a blenched_a nor_o swerve_v from_o this_o law_n and_o rule_n now_o before_o mention_v they_o we_o do_v with_o heart_n and_o good_a will_n acknowlage_n and_o take_v for_o faithful_a and_o diligent_a interpreter_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o honourable_a instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a goost_n who_o painful_a labour_n and_o industry_n our_o lord_n god_n have_v use_v in_o the_o church_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o name_n and_o to_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o faithful_a flock_n and_o therefore_o we_o not_o only_o reverence_v they_o but_o also_o think_v not_o well_o of_o such_o man_n as_o have_v they_o in_o contempt_n but_o as_o for_o all_o other_o doctrine_n and_o tradition_n of_o man_n how_o glorious_a how_o gay_a how_o high_a authority_n title_n or_o ancienty_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v commend_v or_o brag_v to_o be_v of_o if_o they_o be_v not_o found_v &_o ground_v upon_o some_o testimony_n of_o the_o scriptute_n and_o also_o if_o they_o pull_v we_o from_o god_n from_o the_o scripture_n and_o from_o the_o true_a faith_n or_o be_v hinderous_a unto_o we_o in_o the_o same_o i_o think_v they_o altogether_o vain_a unprofitable_a and_o of_o non_fw-fr effect_n yea_o rather_o pernicious_a and_o noisome_a as_o christ_n himself_o open_o report_v of_o they_o matth._n 15._o moreover_o the_o only_a intent_n scope_n &_o end_n of_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n be_v this_o that_o all_o man_n of_o all_o naciones_fw-la country_n and_o place_n may_v be_v by_o it_o instruct_v &_o teach_v concern_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o redemption_n bounteous_a liberality_n and_o salvation_n that_o be_v pleyntiful_o bestow_v &_o give_v in_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o this_o most_o wretched_a &_o most_o corrupt_a sinful_a world_n &_o also_o concern_v charity_n and_o faith_n namely_o that_o the_o people_n be_v now_o regenerate_v may_v be_v partaker_n of_o this_o salvation_n by_o true_a faith_n the_o holy_a child_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o heir_n of_o all_o his_o heavenly_a

deliver_v unto_o be_v from_o the_o holy_a apostle_n and_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v of_o our_o christian_n elder_n and_o faithful_a forefather_n and_o that_o same_o i_o for_o my_o part_n since_o it_o please_v god_n to_o translate_v i_o from_o the_o antichristian_a darkness_n of_o popery_n in_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o son_n have_v constaunt_o and_o faith_n full_o keep_v hitherto_o

christ_n while_o the_o breath_n be_v in_o my_o body_n &_o that_o be_v even_o thus_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n almigh_a tie_n maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o jesus_n

thence_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a i_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a goost_n the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n the_o forgevenesse_n
