these_o obscure_a and_o uncertain_a generality_n as_o for_o example_n ask_v they_o what_o ground_n they_o have_v for_o invocation_n of_o saint_n worship_v of_o image_n indulgence_n superadded_a

upon_o it_o come_v present_o tumble_v down_o yet_o because_o they_o think_v it_o too_o improbable_a a_o course_n to_o build_v all_o on_o the_o naked_a assertion_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v only_o to_o interpret_v and_o not_o to_o make_v the_o text_n therefore_o they_o bring_v in_o tradition_n which_o they_o call_v unwritten_a verity_n and_o make_v they_o of_o equal_a value_n and_o

at_o any_o time_n be_v bring_v against_o any_o of_o these_o point_n they_o say_v it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o declare_v what_o book_n of_o scripture_n be_v canonical_a what_o

vindicate_v to_o themselves_o this_o privilege_n this_o verse_n that_o i_o have_v read_v be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a but_o how_o just_o we_o be_v now_o to_o consider_v say_v the_o apostle_n to_o

by_o this_o distinguish_a property_n that_o it_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n that_o be_v truth_n be_v the_o sign_n whereby_o this_o house_n of_o god_n be_v know_v from_o other_o

flat_a contrary_n to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n who_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o next_o chapter_n show_v evident_o that_o in_o the_o late_a time_n some_o shall_v

we_o believe_v that_o because_o the_o truth_n be_v once_o at_o rome_n it_o be_v there_o still_o indeed_o the_o house_n and_o place_n where_o once_o it_o be_v they_o
alone_a again_o if_o our_o religion_n be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o right_n that_o only_o will_v be_v entertain_v but_o when_o we_o mingle_v thus_o and_o will_v not_o run_v without_o a_o by_o as_o

hence_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o take_v up_o nothing_o mere_o upon_o trust_n not_o to_o think_v thing_n be_v so_o only_o because_o the_o church_n have_v say_v it_o this_o foundation_n be_v too_o
