for_o they_o wvere_v man_n as_o they_o but_o that_o they_o content_v themselves_o only_o with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o altogether_o deny_v or_o gainsay_v they_o in_o that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o reject_v thereby_o god_n and_o his_o gift_n by_o think_v to_o reject_v man_n and_o their_o doctrine_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v good_a heed_n unto_o man_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o themselves_o and_o also_o when_o god_n speak_v by_o they_o the_o same_o we_o may_v know_v when_o their_o doctrine_n be_v confirmable_a and_o agree_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o right_a which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n &_o apostle_n furthermore_o we_o will_v not_o have_v you_o ignorant_a that_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v ordain_v and_o

14._o nor_o aught_o to_o have_v because_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v clean_a and_o purify_v through_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n then_o we_o see_v that_o that_o decree_n which_o have_v be_v decree_v
