so_o slippery_a so_o weak_a various_a waver_a changeable_a inconstant_a as_o you_o see_v the_o private_a reason_n of_o the_o learned_a be_v to_o be_v rely_v on_o by_o they_o as_o their_o guide_n in_o expound_v of_o scripture_n how_o can_v you_o imagine_v it_o possible_a for_o all_o christian_n to_o concur_v in_o the_o same_o belief_n while_o the_o learned_a who_o read_v and_o expound_v the_o scripture_n give_v differ_v and_o contrary_a interpretation_n of_o it_o for_o as_o long_o as_o the_o scripture_n be_v no_o otherwise_o in_o their_o head_n and_o heart_n than_o by_o the_o interpretation_n they_o make_v of_o it_o their_o faith_n must_v necessary_o be_v as_o various_a as_o their_o interpretation_n and_o be_v not_o the_o story_n of_o the_o manna_n which_o follow_v as_o applicable_a to_o the_o learned_a for_o be_v not_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o manna_n as_o different_a to_o the_o priest_n as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o people_n do_v it_o not_o relish_v according_a to_o that_o kind_n of_o meat_n that_o be_v most_o grateful_a to_o every_o priest_n palate_n now_o if_o the_o priest_n in_o canaan_n have_v receive_v a_o command_n of_o bring_v forth_o that_o sort_n of_o meat_n who_o taste_n shall_v be_v like_o that_o of_o the_o manna_n they_o eat_v in_o the_o desert_n be_v it_o possible_a they_o shall_v all_o agree_v in_o their_o dish_n since_o though_o the_o manna_n be_v the_o same_o they_o all_o feed_v on_o yet_o the_o relish_n be_v as_o different_a as_o their_o temper_n and_o palate_n do_v you_o therefore_o see_v that_o man_n will_v never_o be_v of_o one_o spirit_n and_o one_o mind_n until_o the_o read_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v prohibit_v to_o the_o learned_a and_o not_o to_o some_o but_o to_o all_o his_o holiness_n as_o infallible_a only_o except_v for_o if_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o the_o cardinal_n notwithstanding_o their_o eminence_n above_o other_o together_o with_o his_o holiness_n they_o will_v never_o agree_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o for_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o of_o many_o cardinal_n who_o have_v differ_v from_o his_o holiness_n and_o among_o themselves_o too_o about_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v it_o not_o then_o as_o plain_a as_o demonstration_n that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o end_n of_o controversy_n as_o long_o as_o the_o scripture_n be_v read_v by_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o the_o pope_n and_o perhaps_o not_o then_o neither_o for_o since_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a but_o when_o he_o speak_v from_o his_o chair_n which_o seldom_o happen_v at_o other_o time_n he_o may_v chance_v to_o contradict_v himself_o and_o give_v one_o sense_n of_o scripture_n this_o year_n another_o the_o next_o it_o be_v therefore_o most_o advisable_a can_v it_o possible_o be_v effect_v that_o the_o book_n itself_o be_v utter_o abolish_v let_v not_o any_o man_n interpret_v this_o to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o learning_n since_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o evident_a than_o that_o the_o learned_a have_v vast_a advantage_n above_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n for_o attain_v to_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o more_o obscure_a text_n of_o scripture_n provide_v they_o sincere_o search_v after_o truth_n and_o be_v so_o humble_a so_o sensible_a of_o their_o own_o liableness_n to_o mistake_v that_o they_o daily_o implore_v the_o divine_a assistance_n but_o if_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o these_o

at_o the_o same_o impertinent_a rate_n so_o agreeable_a to_o he_o be_v this_o way_n of_o reason_v that_o he_o natural_o fall_v into_o it_o in_o every_o chapter_n but_o the_o vanity_n of_o it_o lie_v
