put_v into_o their_o hand_n xiii_o of_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o faith_n the_o only_a thing_n insist_v on_o here_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o 27._o the_o word_n but_o the_o sense_n of_o

no_o security_n from_o error_n there_o be_v nothing_o capable_a of_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o clear_v this_o we_o must_v consider_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o make_n of_o a_o
