to_o their_o best_a understanding_n and_o conscience_n to_o be_v the_o sole_a and_o only_o rule_v of_o faith_n and_o judge_n of_o controversy_n be_v not_o he_o that_o profess_v to_o follow_v this_o principle_n allow_v by_o all_o to_o be_v a_o perfect_a good_a protestant_n tho_o never_o so_o much_o differ_v in_o faith_n from_o other_o who_o make_v the_o same_o profession_n good_a god_n have_v thou_o tell_v we_o that_o heresy_n must_v be_v and_o yet_o leave_v we_o without_o all_o possibility_n of_o convince_a or_o condemn_v they_o or_o know_v who_o be_v and_o who_o be_v not_o heretic_n but_o those_o who_o pretend_v this_o rule_n and_o judge_n to_o be_v scripture_n do_v in_o truth_n as_o little_a intend_v it_o as_o any_o who_o oppose_v they_o for_o if_o they_o will_v please_v but_o to_o speak_v their_o conscience_n clear_o it_o will_v soon_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o bias_n they_o but_o their_o own_o private_a reason_n put_v private_a sense_n and_o gloss_n upon_o those_o scripture_n which_o be_v easy_o quit_v if_o they_o will_v once_o give_v themselves_o the_o liberty_n to_o see_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o their_o reason_n to_o err_v in_o divine_a thing_n which_o be_v as_o far_o above_o the_o reach_n of_o reason_n as_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n to_o mistake_v so_o much_o in_o humane_a affair_n as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o do_v the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v construe_v and_o apply_v by_o man_n wherefore_o as_o man_n judgement_n and_o interest_n differ_v so_o will_v their_o exposition_n of_o write_a word_n from_o hence_o differ_v sense_n will_v be_v raise_v and_o from_o thence_o different_a faith_n for_o example_n if_o i_o be_v to_o dispute_v against_o a_o arrian_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o god_n the_o father_n and_o god_n the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n i_o shall_v urge_v that_o text_n joh._n 10._o 30._o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o by_o this_o according_a to_o my_o judgement_n i_o shall_v think_v i_o have_v prove_v the_o question_n but_o then_o my_o arrian_n compare_v this_o with_o joh_n 17._o 22._o where_o christ_n pray_v to_o his_o father_n that_o his_o disciple_n may_v all_o be_v one_o thing_n as_o thou_o father_n in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o conclude_v that_o this_o one_o or_o one_o thing_n in_o both_o these_o text_n be_v to_o be_v intend_v one_o in_o affection_n not_o in_o substance_n for_o say_v he_o it_o can_v never_o be_v understand_v that_o christ_n intend_v to_o pray_v that_o his_o disciple_n may_v be_v one_o in_o substance_n if_o i_o shall_v urge_v the_o arrian_n far_o and_o say_v that_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a give_v the_o same_o interpretation_n which_o i_o do_v to_o the_o text_n which_o i_o urge_v he_o will_v answer_v as_o protestant_n general_o do_v that_o he_o have_v a_o worthy_a esteem_n of_o council_n and_o father_n so_o far_o as_o they_o agree_v with_o scripture_n but_o he_o do_v not_o think_v they_o infallible_a he_o believe_v they_o may_v mistake_v and_o therefore_o where_o he_o find_v they_o disagree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o must_v contradict_v they_o all_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o i_o think_v forcible_a be_v that_o those_o who_o be_v thus_o far_o from_o for_o the_o sole_a scripture_n do_v not_o say_v that_o one_o or_o any_o particular_a number_n of_o the_o book_n of_o scripture_n but_o all_o the_o work_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v write_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n do_v be_v join_v together_o make_v up_o this_o rule_n and_o judge_n to_o be_v a_o complete_a rule_n and_o judge_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o if_o any_o of_o these_o book_n be_v now_o lose_v this_o rule_n be_v not_o perfect_a and_o then_o man_n be_v leave_v by_o god_n without_o mean_n to_o believe_v consequent_o must_v be_v damn_v for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o his_o fault_n now_o that_o many_o of_o
