through_o their_o diligent_a search_n and_o travel_n the_o hard_a place_n may_v be_v open_v to_o the_o people_n but_o this_o we_o affirm_v against_o our_o adversary_n first_o that_o all_o point_n of_o faith_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v plain_o setforth_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n second_o that_o they_o may_v with_o great_a profit_n be_v read_v of_o the_o simple_a and_o unlearned_a
