or_o so_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o as_o that_o which_o himself_o prescribe_v i_o presume_v there_o be_v no_o consider_v person_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o grant_v and_o therefore_o all_o wise_a man_n that_o ever_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o teach_v religion_n or_o the_o way_n to_o serve_v god_n howsoever_o they_o have_v differ_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o doctrine_n they_o have_v always_o

be_v always_o father_v upon_o god_n whereby_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o even_o those_o man_n that_o teach_v other_o to_o worship_n god_n false_o do_v themselves_o believe_v that_o none_o can_v be_v

teacher_n of_o all_o false_a religion_n pretend_v false_o the_o very_a same_o do_v the_o teacher_n of_o true_a religion_n profess_v true_o namely_o that_o they_o be_v send_v from_o god_n and_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o teach_v other_o be_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o that_o what_o god_n himself_o have_v teach_v they_o thus_o moses_n the_o lawgiver_n of_o the_o old_a

himself_o the_o lawgiver_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o himself_o but_o as_o he_o have_v hear_v of_o his_o father_n for_o my_o doctrine_n say_v he_o be_v
