scripture_n to_o prove_v a_o outward_a judge_n of_o controversy_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o be_v interpreter_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o question_n he_o propose_v be_v whether_o the_o

some_o seduce_a socinian_o or_o other_o heretic_n who_o seek_v to_o disgrace_v the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o set_v forth_o their_o own_o error_n with_o fair_a pretence_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o to_o answer_v cardinal_n bellarmine_n and_o james_n nayler_n both_o together_o 1._o moses_n be_v a_o extraordinary_a man_n and_o have_v a_o extraordinary_a measure_n of_o

neither_o fit_a cardinal_n bellarmine_n a_o papist_n nor_o james_n nayler_n a_o quaker_n nayler_n do_v allege_v divers_a other_o scripture_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n as_o

otherwise_o naylers_n scripture_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o question_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o concern_v a_o private_a inferior_a or_o particular_a judge_n but_o concern_v a_o chief_a
