to_o comprehend_v also_o some_o of_o the_o early_a piece_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o therefore_o since_o their_o canon_n be_v admit_v as_o such_o by_o our_o lord_n himself_o and_o his_o

during_o the_o first_o 300_o year_n whatever_o opinion_n theodorus_n of_o mopsuestia_n may_v entertain_v concern_v some_o particular_a book_n those_o very_a book_n be_v undoubted_o part_v of_o the_o

direct_o contradict_v the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n 3._o this_o will_v be_v still_o further_o manifest_a if_o we_o confider_v that_o for_o this_o very_a thing_n among_o other_o he_o be_v censure_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o five_o general_n council_n we_o have_v none_o of_o the_o write_n of_o theodorus_n now_o extant_a nothing_o but_o what_o be_v quote_v

in_o the_o four_o collation_n of_o the_o five_o council_n at_o constantinople_n and_o among_o other_o six_o or_o seven_o passage_n wherein_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o allow_v neither_o the_o book_n of_o job_n nor_o the_o canticle_n nor_o perhaps_o the_o proverb_n or_o ecclesiaste_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a authority_n but_o for_o this_o he_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n condemn_v 8._o condemn_v

such_o eminent_a counsel_n as_o these_o be_v then_o from_o the_o write_n of_o a_o single_a bishop_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o evident_a that_o all_o the_o book_n which_o he_o reject_v be_v
