scripture_n round_o as_o well_o as_o he_o doctr._n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v wary_a how_o we_o entertain_v doctrine_n of_o heretic_n and_o false_a teacher_n though_o they_o seem_v to_o

how_o the_o devil_n can_v allege_v scripture_n and_o that_o fit_o for_o his_o purpose_n and_o it_o be_v the_o subtle_a practice_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o allege_v scripture_n that_o so_o he_o may_v persuade_v man_n to_o receive_v his_o damnable_a doctrine_n and_o become_v heretic_n and_o scismatickes_n and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o do_v gross_o abuse_v the_o scripture_n yea_o when_o he_o will_v persuade_v man_n to_o live_v in_o sin_n he_o have_v he_o scriptum_n est_fw-la very_o ready_a and_o can_v tell_v they_o at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n do_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n he_o shall_v have_v mercy_n and_o true_o by_o his_o abuse_n of_o scripture_n he_o prevail_v with_o many_o the_o word_n which_o the_o devil_n allege_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o fourscore_o and_o eleven_o

the_o word_n be_v very_o precise_a and_o show_v himself_o very_o careful_a in_o repeat_v of_o the_o word_n in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v out_o no_o not_o this_o particle_n for_o which_o may_v well_o have_v be_v leave_v out_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n he_o stick_v not_o to_o leave_v out_o a_o whole_a clause_n which_o be_v the_o main_a point_n and_o ground_n of_o god_n promise_n namely_o this_o to_o keep_v thou_o in_o all_o thy_o way_n where_o we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o devil_n do_v most_o vil●ly_o abuse_v the_o scripture_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o he_o in_o his_o allegation_n to_o put_v in_o or_o to_o put_v out_o something_o or_o some_o way_n or_o other_o to_o deprave_v they_o or_o to_o corrupt_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o serve_v his_o own_o turn_n and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o devil_n manner_n in_o his_o allege_v and_o deal_n with_o the_o scripture_n so_o do_v the_o papist_n as_o his_o scholar_n for_o though_o in_o word_n they_o hold_v the_o scripture_n yet_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o they_o to_o put_v in_o or_o leave_v out_o or_o by_o some_o mean_n to_o corrupt_v and_o deprave_v they_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n as_o may_v be_v show_v by_o example_n well_o see_v the_o devil_n be_v so_o skilful_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o can_v allege_v they_o so_o ready_o and_o so_o fit_o for_o his_o

so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v themselves_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o will_n in_o his_o word_n but_o if_o they_o leave_v the_o way_n of_o god_n

there_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v some_o difference_n in_o the_o word_n as_o they_o be_v allege_v by_o christ_n for_o in_o that_o place_n of_o deuteronomy_n it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o

there_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o difference_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o their_o allege_v of_o scripture_n do_v not_o so_o much_o stick_v to_o the_o very_a syllable_n as_o aim_v at_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o allege_v scripture_n seek_v to_o expound_v scripture_n and_o to_o open_v it_o in_o allege_v of_o it_o and_o so_o do_v he_o may_v well_o add_v a_o word_n when_o as_o the_o word_n he_o add_v make_v much_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n and_o thus_o christ_n in_o this_o place_n change_v the_o word_n not_o mistake_v of_o it_o but_o rather_o to_o expound_v moses_n for_o whereas_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n he_o mean_v that_o religious_a fear_n whereby_o we_o fear_v god_n and_o worship_v he_o now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n he_o say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v show_v moses_n mean_v that_o fear_n whereby_o we_o do_v with_o reverence_n and_o bow_v of_o the_o body_n and_o adore_v of_o god_n worship_v he_o move_v thereunto_o by_o religious_a fear_n either_o in_o pray_v for_o some_o mercy_n we_o want_v or_o give_v thanks_n for_o some_o benefit_n receive_v again_o christ_n in_o allege_v this_o text_n of_o scripture_n he_o add_v a_o word_n yet_o so_o as_o he_o do_v it_o without_o any_o fault_n for_o though_o this_o word_n alone_o be_v not_o in_o moses_n his_o text_n express_o set_v down_o yet_o it_o be_v include_v and_o in_o sense_n it_o be_v understand_v for_o where_o he_o say_v in_o the_o thirteen_o verse_n thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n and_o add_v no_o more_o in_o the_o fourteen_o verse_n he_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o walk_v after_o any_o other_o god_n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o perceive_v he_o do_v in_o sense_n include_v it_o though_o not_o express_v it_o in_o word_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n christ_n clear_v in_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n
