come_v unto_o it_o with_o devotion_n now_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n mean_v by_o humbleness_n of_o spirit_n in_o this_o case_n and_o augustine_n by_o devotion_n be_v this_o a_o yield_v of_o a_o

for_o the_o decide_n of_o the_o great_a question_n betwixt_o we_o and_o papist_n or_o for_o our_o direction_n and_o settlement_n in_o that_o ordinary_a preach_v which_o be_v among_o ourselves_o

which_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n it_o be_v content_a like_o the_o pretend_a mother_n to_o divide_v those_o thing_n betwixt_o two_o or_o more_o which_o ought_v of_o right_a to_o

opinion_n of_o their_o own_o sufficiency_n which_o make_v a_o great_a many_o to_o gainsay_v this_o doctrine_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o paul_n of_o old_a call_v it_o the_o foolishness_n of_o
