one_o or_o many_o man_n have_v their_o distinct_a copy_n such_o a_o total_a loss_n can_v not_o have_v happen_v and_o although_o it_o may_v be_v well_o think_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n may_v

whilst_o strive_v to_o serve_v god_n according_a to_o his_o will_n reveal_v in_o scripture_n we_o may_v neither_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v entrap_v by_o the_o wise_a sort_n

into_o the_o danger_n of_o such_o ibidem_fw-la as_o may_v seem_v more_o simple_a and_o unintere_v because_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unwary_a 3.16_o do_v rest_n scripture_n to_o their_o own_o

chief_a drift_n be_v to_o instruct_v we_o in_o the_o fundamental_o of_o our_o salvation_n and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o to_o declare_v those_o mystery_n and_o general_a precept_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o belief_n &_o practice_v therein_o it_o leave_v private_a man_n for_o particular_a guidance_n to_o the_o authorise_a interpreter_n thereof_o at_o first_o it_o be_v the_o priest_n lip_n shall_v preserve_v knowledge_n and_o thou_o shall_v seek_v the_o law_n at_o his_o mouth_n 2.7_o they_o have_v this_o their_o law_n particular_o set_v down_o by_o moses_n and_o so_o also_o when_o they_o be_v to_o have_v king_n he_o be_v to_o have_v a_o book_n thereof_o and_o to_o do_v thereafter_o 17.19_o but_o now_o in_o the_o gospel_n as_o these_o particular_a legal_a precept_n stand_v not_o of_o literal_a divine_a authority_n but_o as_o precedent_n useful_a upon_o occasion_n so_o the_o minister_n thereof_o be_v minister_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n 3.6_o but_o of_o the_o spirit_n whereupon_o it_o still_o appear_v that_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o new_a testament_n be_v but_o to_o set_v forth_o christ_n the_o foundation_n unto_o we_o and_o to_o leave_v we_o unto_o the_o present_a high_a power_n for_o direction_n of_o our_o practice_n thereafter_o according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o scripture_n or_o natural_a reason_n therefore_o as_o we_o first_o find_v the_o scope_n of_o each_o gospel_n to_o record_v the_o miracle_n christ_n do_v in_o proof_n hereof_o so_o shall_v we_o find_v the_o other_o discourse_n and_o doctrine_n therein_o contain_v usual_o to_o follow_v but_o as_o occasion_v thereupon_o for_o saint_n john_n speak_v plain_o that_o if_o all_o that_o jesus_n do_v shall_v be_v write_v the_o whole_a world_n will_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v write_v but_o these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n 20.31_o and_o that_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v life_n through_o his_o name_n and_o so_o again_o for_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n namely_o the_o epistle_n we_o be_v not_o to_o conceive_v that_o all_o that_o be_v write_v by_o

admire_v the_o care_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o the_o church_n in_o preserve_v and_o deliver_v to_o we_o those_o book_n and_o epistle_n leave_v yet_o in_o and_o by_o they_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v all_o but_o occasional_o write_v and_o that_o no_o writer_n do_v undertake_v to_o set_v down_o the_o whole_a platform_n of_o christian_a obedience_n or_o to_o compose_v a_o entire_a and_o perfect_a body_n of_o divinity_n but_o in_o delivery_n of_o these_o instruction_n they_o be_v still_o respective_a and_o even_o as_o they_o have_v particular_a and_o separate_a
