a_o strange_a tongue_n yea_o sometime_o man_n of_o singular_a learning_n take_v great_a pain_n in_o this_o thing_n for_o oftentimes_o it_o happen_v that_o a_o sentence_n be_v expound_v w●●●_n the_o

the_o difference_n of_o the_o phrase_n or_o manner_n of_o speech_n therefore_o jest_n here_o unwares_o we_o may_v be_v deceive_v oftentimes_o a_o learned_a interpreter_n be_v needful_a the_o second_o cause_n be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n for_o he_o that_o perceive_v not_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o handle_n shall_v certain_o very_o often_o time_n be_v deceive_v as_o they_o be_v which_o recite_n out_o of_o paul_n this_o say_n against_o the_o justification_n of_o faith_n not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o doer_n shall_v be_v justify_v here_o if_o they_o have_v consider_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o handle_n they_o may_v have_v see_v paul_n in_o that_o place_n not_o to_o have_v preach_v of_o the_o justification_n of_o work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o

word_n the_o three_o cause_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o witness_n of_o a_o true_a interpretation_n for_o when_o the_o hearer_n perceive_v the_o interpretation_n to_o be_v bring_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o do_v see_v the_o agreement_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o pure_a church_n with_o the_o interpretation_n they_o love_v the_o doctrine_n more_o earnest_o and_o do_v learn_v it_o more_o greedy_o the_o four_o cause_n be_v the_o confutation_n of_o false_a opinion_n least_o learner_n shall_v be_v infect_v with_o the_o poison_n of_o heretic_n these_o cause_n be_v sufficient_o great_a enough_o for_o that_o which_o god_n will_v have_v the_o ministry_n of_o his_o word_n both_o in_o school_n and_o in_o church_n to_o be_v preserve_v ¶_o the_o kind_n of_o interpret_v although_o
