rely_v not_o upon_o any_o hypothesis_n but_o upon_o the_o receive_a custom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o he_o do_v rely_v upon_o as_o be_v confess_v but_o he_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o

whole_a book_n be_v full_a of_o fallacy_n and_o deceit_n and_o of_o the_o very_a spirit_n and_o genius_n of_o a_o heretic_n who_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o abuse_v the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o most_o excellent_a person_n in_o it_o to_o maintain_v his_o own_o principle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o divers_a of_o the_o great_a truth_n of_o christianity_n be_v know_v to_o

of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o such_o be_v this_o which_o he_o father_n upon_o a_o impostor_n and_o pretend_v the_o church_n receive_v it_o from_o he_o without_o any_o proof_n of_o either_o whereas_o if_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a it_o be_v much_o more_o likely_a that_o he_o receive_v the_o hypothesis_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n at_o that_o time_n and_o be_v therefore_o rather_o a_o evidence_n of_o it_o other_o matter_n of_o this_o book_n have_v be_v consider_v by_o learned_a man_n of_o our_o own_o country_n and_o i_o think_v i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o of_o this_o

of_o any_o such_o thing_n can_v i_o find_v that_o be_v ever_o hear_v of_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o a_o unanimous_a agreement_n in_o all_o both_o in_o the_o practice_n continue_v by_o
