Together with the grounds and ends of the composing thereof by the Apostles, the sufficiency thereof for the rule of faith, the reasons of the name symbolon in the originall Greeke, and the division or parts of it.

to_o name_v no_o latter_a one_o 2._o that_o in_o set_v down_o these_o rule_n or_o confession_n of_o faith_n they_o keep_v themselves_o often_o to_o the_o same_o word_n ordinary_o to_o the_o same_o

both_o practise_v and_o allow_v it_o as_o for_o the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o form_n though_o they_o omit_v some_o of_o they_o to_o express_v some_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n in_o
