through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n 2._o that_o this_o remission_n be_v not_o absolute_o though_o free_o give_v but_o do_v depend_v upon_o certain_a condition_n or_o qualification_n whereby_o man_n be_v make_v fit_a and_o capable_a of_o receive_v it_o 3._o that_o the_o rule_n as_o well_o for_o the_o mean_n of_o convey_v this_o donation_n to_o we_o as_o for_o our_o aptitude_n and_o capacity_n to_o receive_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v out_o and_o take_v from_o the_o scripture_n 4._o that_o because_o many_o thing_n of_o importance_n concern_v this_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v deduce_v from_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o mediation_n of_o humane_a understanding_n it_o be_v a_o mark_n both_o of_o piety_n wisdom_n and_o humility_n to_o take_v the_o catholic_a church_n for_o our_o guide_n and_o reliance_n therein_o false_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n prove_v either_o full_a of_o perplexity_n or_o danger_n or_o both_o to_o ourselves_o and_o other_o but_o most_o
