god_n shall_v add_v unto_o they_o the_o plague_n that_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n thus_o the_o word_n testify_v of_o itself_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o word_n be_v true_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n quest_n what_o reason_n do_v you_o show_v for_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o answ_n first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o write_a will_n and_o testimony_n of_o god_n second_o because_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v the_o law_n in_o writing_n the_o jew_n be_v never_o guide_v by_o any_o unwritten_a word_n three_o because_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n never_o prove_v

the_o truth_n go_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n but_o after_o that_o god_n have_v write_v the_o law_n they_o never_o come_v to_o he_o but_o upon_o some_o especial_a occasion_n as_o for_o the_o

nothing_o but_o by_o the_o write_a word_n when_o it_o be_v more_o obscure_a much_o less_o we_o who_o have_v it_o more_o clear_a three_o because_o whatsoever_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v

a_o perfect_a rule_n contain_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v believe_v and_o do_v use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n teach_v we_o that_o then_o must_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n all_o unwritten_a tradition_n the_o ground_n of_o all_o which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a than_o tradition_n have_v nothing_o to_o lean_v
