that_o the_o scripture_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n thereof_o can_v be_v judge_n but_o this_o be_v sufficient_a about_o the_o former_a part_n where_o it_o be_v manifest_a both_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o also_o by_o diverse_a sundry_a example_n that_o the_o scripture_n if_o we_o respect_v only_o the_o bare_a and_o outward_a letter_n thereof_o can_v

thereof_o often_o time_n be_v obscure_a and_o very_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v &_o oftentimes_o about_o discern_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o it_o great_a controversy_n do_v arise_v but_o every_o controversy_n do_v require_v some_o judge_n to_o determine_v the_o same_o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o some_o judge_n be_v appoint_v who_o certain_o may_v determine_v which_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o can_v be_v the_o scripture_n itself_o for_o of_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n thereof_o there_o be_v controversy_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v
