unto_o we_o no_o less_o certain_a and_o firm_a then_o if_o we_o hear_v god_n himself_o speak_v or_o do_v behold_v and_o read_v the_o very_a mind_n of_o god_n yea_o the_o very_a divine_a oracle_n

here_o the_o adversary_n rise_v up_o and_o contend_v that_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n must_v have_v the_o priority_n of_o excellency_n and_o that_o it_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o god_n
