as_o well_o as_o they_o to_o prefer_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n before_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v sacrilegious_a madness_n and_o although_o none_o of_o god_n ten_o proper_a name_n in_o

portion_n of_o holy_a writ_n use_v 3_o three_o this_o show_v we_o that_o as_o this_o scripture_n be_v canonical_a so_o the_o penman_n of_o it_o be_v a_o canonical_a saint_n in_o heaven_n for_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o according_a to_o that_o not_o of_o peter_n successor_n as_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v it_o but_o of_o s._n peter_n himself_o 21._o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o

prophet_n be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n now_o all_o the_o prophet_n come_v not_o near_o this_o prophet_n and_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v pen_v by_o a_o prophetical_a and_o apostolical_a spirit_n and_o though_o solomon_n do_v fall_v yet_o 15._o if_o he_o commit_v iniquity_n i_o will_v chasten_v he_o with_o the_o rod_n of_o man_n etc._n etc._n verse_n 15._o but_o my_o mercy_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o he_o as_o i_o take_v it_o from_o saul_n if_o some_o say_v by_o this_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o god_n will_v not_o take_v away_o his_o kingdom_n to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v he_o do_v take_v it_o away_o but_o he_o will_v not_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o he_o deal_v with_o saul_n so_o than_o this_o tell_v we_o solomon_n be_v a_o saint_n in_o heaven_n which_o be_v solomon_n 1._o solomon_n the_o penner_n of_o it_o but_o a_o wise_a than_o solomon_n indite_v it_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v choice_n of_o his_o instrument_n according_a to_o the_o use_n he_o have_v to_o put_v they_o to_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o estate_n of_o his_o church_n by_o the_o choice_a treasure_n of_o nature_n he_o use_v solomon_n spirit_n which_o 30._o be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n shore_n 4._o and_o as_o god_n lead_v moses_n to_o the_o top_n of_o mount_n pisgah_n to_o behold_v all_o the_o place_n and_o situation_n of_o israel_n so_o he_o lift_v
