which_o have_v commend_v the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v believe_v of_o all_o true_a christian_n where_o soever_o they_o be_v although_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o holy_a

all_o nation_n to_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n it_o be_v evident_a thereby_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n do_v not_o induce_v all_o they_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n to_o
