which_o i_o thus_o prove_v 1._o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v alter_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n the_o church_n be_v a_o holy_a commonwealth_n under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o govern_v it_o by_o his_o law_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n these_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o their_o worship_n and_o obedience_n to_o he_o

the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o defective_a insufficient_a rule_n and_o therefore_o they_o join_v to_o they_o the_o apocryphal_a book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n which_o also_o they_o receive_v and_o reject_v at_o their_o pleasure_n decree_v of_o council_n and_o decretal_n and_o decision_n of_o pope_n all_o these_o together_o be_v the_o perfect_a rule_n that_o the_o papist_n acknowledge_v and_o pretend_v to_o i_o say_v pretend_v because_o the_o scripture_n have_v little_a share_n in_o it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o trial_n hereby_o they_o have_v make_v a_o new_a foundation_n of_o the_o church_n both_o of_o faith_n and_o practice_n for_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o we_o believe_v and_o practice_v all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n but_o we_o must_v believe_v and_o obey_v the_o apocryphal_a writing_n and_o unwritten_a tradition_n as_o of_o the_o same_o authority_n with_o the_o bible_n thus_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v determine_v as_o be_v show_v before_o this_o alter_v the_o very_a constitution_n of_o the_o church_n and_o subject_v it_o to_o man_n instead_o of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o apostasy_n 2._o because_o the_o papist_n pretend_v their_o pope_n or_o church_n to_o be_v above_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o put_v a_o authentic_a authority_n on_o they_o and_o their_o sense_n thus_o all_o our_o faith_n and_o obedience_n be_v resolve_v into_o the_o determination_n of_o man_n that_o the_o papist_n pretend_v the_o pope_n their_o council_n or_o church_n to_o be_v above_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v deny_v they_o give_v the_o authority_n and_o authenticness_n to_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v from_o their_o command_n that_o the_o bible_n be_v receive_v and_o if_o they_o please_v they_o may_v cause_v it_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o it_o can_v be_v know_v they_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v god_n word_n but_o that_o
