no_o more_o than_o assent_v that_o they_o may_v be_v use_v and_o so_o they_o consent_v with_o the_o nonconformist_n in_o the_o matter_n but_o not_o in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n and_o to_o the_o former_a they_o say_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v other_o mistranslation_n beside_o those_o that_o follow_v the_o septuagint_n 2._o that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n by_o cite_v some_o text_n

it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o sound_a book_n that_o be_v apocrypha_fw-la may_v be_v read_v in_o the_o church_n as_o a_o homily_n may_v be_v with_o due_a notice_n of_o their_o difference_n from_o

some_o r._n reverend_a conformist_n do_v profess_v that_o those_o sentence_n be_v untrue_a and_o not_o to_o be_v approve_v 3._o but_o such_o think_v that_o the_o church_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o
