the_o oracle_n of_o god_n and_o dictate_v of_o his_o spirit_n and_o second_o that_o the_o lewes_n have_v not_o any_o such_o esteem_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o never_o receive_v they_o into_o their_o canon_n of_o holy_a writ_n but_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v general_o repute_v and_o take_v for_o a_o history_n
