heretic_n in_o the_o several_a age_n of_o the_o church_n have_v form_v against_o those_o doctrine_n be_v a_o clear_a proof_n of_o this_o seeing_z they_o upon_o all_o occasion_n pretend_a scripture_n for_o their_o ground_n and_o because_o catholic_o can_v not_o bring_v any_o text_n of_o scripture_n against_o they_o so_o clear_a but_o they_o can_v elude_v it_o by_o some_o seem_a exposition_n therefore_o scripture_n alone_o can_v never_o decide_v the_o controversy_n but_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o her_o council_n be_v in_o all_o age_n esteem_v necessary_a to_o stop_v their_o
