doctrine_n who_o when_o the_o congregation_n be_v assemble_v all_o together_o may_v seem_v to_o encourage_v to_o undertake_v and_o to_o determine_v something_o of_o themselves_o yet_o will_v they_o give_v nothing_o presume_v nothing_o arrogate_v nothing_o to_o themselves_o at_o all_o but_o by_o all_o mean_v provide_v that_o they_o may_v not_o deliver_v any_o thing_n to_o their_o posterity_n which_o they_o themselves_o have_v not_o receive_v of_o their_o father_n and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o only_o order_v the_o matter_n well_o for_o the_o present_a but_o give_v example_n also_o to_o they_o that_o shall_v succeed_v that_o they_o also_o may_v embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sacred_a antiquity_n and_o condemn_v the_o device_n of_o profane_a novelty_n we_o inveigh_v also_o against_o the_o wicked_a presumption_n of_o nestorius_n because_o he_o boast_v that_o he_o do_v first_o and_o only_o understand_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o all_o those_o whatsoever_o be_v ignorant_a
