of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n equal_o with_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n what_o blasphemy_n be_v this_o for_o a_o sinful_a man_n to_o arrogate_v the_o title_n of_o infallible_a due_a only_o to_o

himself_o to_o give_v the_o scripture_n a_o sanction_n yea_o to_o overrule_a they_o by_o his_o corrupt_a tradition_n which_o he_o declare_v infallible_a thus_o he_o exautorat_n and_o invalidates_n their_o divine_a original_a and_o superintendency_n as_o if_o they_o receive_v all_o the_o life_n of_o their_o interpretation_n from_o his_o authoritative_a dilucidation_n as_o the_o moon_n do_v her_o

a_o dead_a letter_n in_o themselves_o that_o they_o must_v be_v animate_v with_o his_o tradition_n though_o never_o so_o absurd_a and_o contradictory_n to_o their_o divine_a authority_n certainty_n

so_o that_o no_o part_n of_o they_o be_v canonical_a but_o only_o those_o book_n which_o he_o declare_v to_o be_v such_o thus_o a_o sinful_a man_n judge_v that_o sacred_a law_n by_o which_o himself_o
