give_v themselves_o to_o strange_a doctrine_n well_o therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n while_o he_o mind_v to_o exhort_v the_o faithful_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o strange_a or_o new_a doctrine_n use_v this_o foundation_n first_o of_o all_o christ_n yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o with_o which_o word_n

the_o rule_n of_o man_n and_o be_v place_v in_o the_o element_n of_o the_o world_n note_v that_o he_o set_v christ_n opposite_a and_o against_o both_o the_o element_n of_o the_o world_n and_o also_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n whereby_o he_o mean_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v forge_v in_o the_o brain_n of_o man_n be_v not_o agreeable_a unto_o christ_n who_o be_v appoint_v to_o we_o a_o only_a
