anathema_n to_o s._n john_n evangelist_n who_o many_o year_n after_o the_o preach_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o galathian_o yea_o after_o his_o death_n write_v his_o apocalyps_n wherein_o there_o be_v many_o new_a revelation_n which_o s._n paul_n have_v not_o preach_v to_o the_o galathan_n because_o they_o be_v not_o they_o reveal_v by_o god_n 4._o the_o second_o absurdity_n that_o s._n paul_n

that_o which_o god_n have_v not_o yet_o reveal_v 5._o the_o three_o absurdity_n the_o apostle_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n have_v pronounce_v anathema_n against_o s._n luke_n who_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n relate_v many_o thing_n which_o happen_v long_o after_o s._n paul_n leave_v galatia_n 6._o the_o four_o absurdity_n the_o apostle_n for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o have_v condemn_v himself_o with_o the_o say_a anathema_n for_o he_o write_v many_o epistle_n after_o he_o have_v leave_v galatia_n wherein_o he_o reat_v many_o thing_n which_o happen_v afterward_o unto_o he_o either_o at_o rome_n or_o in_o other_o place_n 7._o last_o it_o be_v a_o absurd_a thing_n to_o think_v either_o god_n after_o those_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o galathian_o can_v reveal_v to_o man_n nothing_o more_o by_o a_o angel_n send_v from_o heaven_n or_o that_o the_o say_a angel_n who_o by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n shall_v reveal_v any_o new_a thing_n but_o not_o contrary_a to_o faith_n shall_v incur_v that_o anathema_n by_o s._n paul_n see_v that_o this_o be_v to_o wrest_v the_o anathema_n upon_o god_n himself_o who_o command_v the_o angel_n to_o do_v so_o this_o place_n therefore_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o diverse_a and_o distinct_a thing_n from_o those_o which_o s._n paul_n teach_v the_o galathian_o but_o only_o of_o contrary_n and_o opposite_a thing_n unto_o they_o but_o according_a to_o this_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n praeter_fw-la all_o the_o foresay_a absurdity_n do_v cease_v for_o neither_o s._n john_n in_o his_o apocalyps_n nor_o s._n luke_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o any_o other_o which_o do_v prophesy_v nor_o s._n paul_n himself_o ever_o write_v or_o teach_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o that_o which_o s._n paul_n teach_v the_o galathian_o but_o even_o god_n himself_o can_v â—8_o ad_fw-la heb._n 16._o v._o â—8_o reveal_v the_o contrary_a by_o a_o angel_n because_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o lie_v 8._o neither_o be_v it_o sufficient_a for_o i_o to_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v afterward_o reveal_v and_o write_v be_v not_o necessary_a point_n of_o faith_n to_o salvation_n for_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o say_v if_o any_o shall_v euangelize_n unto_o you_o any_o point_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o absolute_o if_o any_o shall_v euangelize_n any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o that_o which_o you_o have_v receyve_v moreover_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v afterward_o set_v down_o in_o holy_a scripture_n be_v true_a point_n of_o faith_n the_o which_o every_o christian_a be_v necessary_o bind_v to_o believe_v if_o not_o express_o yet_o at_o the_o least_o virtual_o and_o general_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v if_o not_o express_o yet_o at_o the_o least_o virtual_o and_o general_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v with_o a_o assure_a faith_n all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o holy_a writ_n to_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o true_a 9_o final_o even_o our_o adversary_n confession_n do_v convince_v this_o to_o be_v most_o true_a for_o now_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n be_v deduce_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n do_v belong_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v point_n of_o say_v and_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v lawful_o preach_v unto_o the_o people_n as_o we_o have_v 3._o suprac_n 3._o say_v before_o but_o all_o these_o be_v distinct_a thing_n from_o those_o which_o be_v express_o write_v in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o the_o antecedent_n whereby_o some_o other_o thing_n may_v be_v infer_v be_v distinct_a from_o that_o which_o be_v infer_v for_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a illation_n if_o one_o and_o the_o

of_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o he_o and_o not_o absolute_o of_o any_o other_o distinct_a doctrine_n 10._o and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o father_n do_v often_o say_v that_o s._n paul_n affirm_v in_o
