first_o determine_v by_o some_o judge_n and_o this_o judge_n to_o each_o heretic_n be_v his_o own_o wit_n secondlie_o it_o be_v obscure_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v infinite_a variety_n in_o guess_v at_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o experience_n of_o many_o hundred_o year_n and_o in_o this_o case_n likewise_o each_o heretic_n do_v adore_v his_o own_o judgement_n as_o for_o the_o spirit_n that_o of_o god_n be_v not_o among_o heretic_n but_o in_o the_o church_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v since_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n and_o their_o spirit_n opposite_a it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v another_o and_o that_o erroneous_a and_o by_o the_o mulplicitie_n of_o judgment_n and_o contradiction_n among_o themselves_o it_o appear_v evidentlie_o that_o they_o be_v many_o and_o no_o marvel_n since_o each_o crowch_v unto_o his_o own_o since_o each_o have_v his_o maozim_n within_o himself_o this_o therefore_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o arian_n

if_o you_o shall_v argue_v thus_o luther_n receave_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n and_o caluin_n receave_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n therefore_o luther_n and_o caluin_n be_v of_o one_o religion_n it_o do_v not_o hold_v i_o say_v since_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o same_o sense_n nor_o be_v unite_v in_o any_o one_o common_a mean_a to_o receive_v it_o and_o be_v the_o argument_n good_a it_o will_v prove_v caluinist_n and_o arian_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o religion_n since_o each_o receive_v the_o letter_n 74._o hence_o it_o come_v also_o that_o all_o heretic_n can_v have_v one_o definition_n but_o that_o every_o one_o be_v to_o be_v define_v according_a to_o the_o point_n he_o do_v hold_v in_o particular_a because_o of_o his_o difference_n from_o other_o in_o the_o
