you_o my_o spirit_n the_o comforter_n and_o other_o such_o like_a say_n which_o be_v read_v in_o the_o gospel_n furthermore_o the_o apostle_n show_v a_o very_a commodious_a way_n how_o we_o may_v be_v

here_o be_v breadth_n from_o the_o same_o and_o the_o apostle_n himself_o commend_v unto_o we_o the_o example_n of_o a_o apostle_n say_v thou_o have_v see_v the_o experience_n of_o my_o doctrine_n

and_o my_o patience_n in_o persecution_n follow_v thou_o these_o thing_n decline_v no_o whit_n from_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o i_o for_o our_o lord_n say_v also_o in_o the_o gospel_n 8._o john_n 8._o i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o walk_v not_o in_o darkness_n but_o have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o as_o i_o follow_v christ_n but_o because_o the_o man_n of_o this_o last_o age_n do_v not_o much_o esteem_n the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o apostle_n but_o do_v more_o regard_n the_o example_n of_o father_n i_o know_v not_o of_o what_o sort_n and_o of_o most_o filthy_a munks_n that_o be_v therefore_o the_o cause_n why_o there_o be_v so_o many_o sect_n and_o that_o so_o many_o wander_v about_o and_o grope_v like_o blind_a man_n not_o know_v what_o or_o who_o to_o follow_v or_o what_o

and_o interpretation_n therefore_o be_v they_o most_o foolish_a who_o think_v that_o heretic_n can_v be_v over_o come_v by_o the_o scripture_n only_o but_o that_o rather_o they_o be_v to_o be_v convince_v by_o counsel_n and_o decree_n of_o council_n or_o else_o by_o curse_n for_o we_o find_v that_o paul_n the_o apostle_n also_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v with_o stand_n and_o overcome_v both_o the_o rebellious_a jew_n and_o also_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o none_o other_o weapon_n then_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o very_o well_o and_o in_o good_a time_n come_v here_o to_o my_o remembrance_n a_o noble_a sentence_n of_o saint_n augustine_n which_o he_o use_v against_o maximinus_n the_o arrian_n heretic_n in_o his_o three_o book_n and_o faith_n but_o now_o neither_o i_o ought_v to_o allege_v the_o council_n of_o nice_a neither_o thou_o the_o council_n of_o ariminun_n as_o thereby_o to_o obtain_v the_o victory_n and_o neither_o i_o nor_o thou_o to_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n but_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v witness_n not_o proper_a to_o any_o but_o common_a and_o indifferent_a to_o we_o both_o let_v matter_n with_o matter_n cause_n with_o cause_n and_o reason_n with_o reason_n contend_v together_o you_o see_v therefore_o how_o saint_n augustine_n judgement_n be_v that_o the_o detestable_a heresy_n of_o arrius_n can_v be_v confute_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o by_o counsel_n but_o now_o at_o this_o day_n we_o have_v the_o self_n same_o scripture_n what_o shall_v set_v therefore_o but_o that_o we_o may_v with_o the_o scripture_n strong_o convince_v all_o error_n and_o heresy_n whatsoever_o at_o what_o soever_o time_n they_o spring_v up_o for_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v mere_a for_o confutation_n furthermore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n corrupt_v in_o the_o church_n as_o many_o time_n the_o most_o

be_v necessary_a to_o be_v amend_v it_o follow_v therefore_o in_o the_o apostle_n that_o here_o also_o the_o scripture_n be_v requisite_a pros_n epanothosin_n that_o be_v to_o renew_v and_o as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v to_o make_v straight_o and_o amend_v the_o holy_a history_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o many_o and_o sundry_a place_n the_o use_n and_o example_n of_o that_o thing_n for_o as_o often_o as_o the_o sincerity_n and_o pureness_n of_o religion_n be_v defile_v by_o the_o negligence_n wickedness_n ignorance_n and_o covetousness_n of_o the_o ruler_n and_o the_o priest_n and_o then_o by_o god_n be_v send_v prophet_n and_o king_n to_o amend_v the_o error_n that_o be_v general_o receive_v we_o read_v that_o they_o do_v none_o otherwise_o reform_v and_o correct_v the_o church_n then_o according_a to_o the_o form_n and_o rule_v of_o the_o divine_a scripture_n the_o holy_a story_n of_o josaphat_n ezechias_n and_o josias_n well_o enough_o know_v and_o also_o our_o lord_n
