than_o either_o the_o decree_n of_o a_o council_n of_o a_o latter_a age_n or_o the_o voice_n and_o practice_n of_o its_o pastor_n and_o people_n for_o let_v these_o agree_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v in_o vote_v any_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n to_o have_v be_v primitive_a yet_o they_o can_v never_o make_v it_o pass_v for_o such_o among_o wise_a and_o know_a man_n if_o the_o authentic_a

in_o any_o age_n do_v but_o decree_n in_o council_n or_o do_v general_o teach_v and_o practise_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o ancient_a tradition_n than_o this_o must_v obtain_v and_o be_v of_o force_n

we_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o high_a affront_n to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o let_v they_o attribute_v as_o much_o as_o they_o please_v to_o the_o decree_n and_o practice_n of_o their_o
