of_o john_n he_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v far_o enough_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o these_o reason_n i_o conceive_v be_v sufficient_a to_o evidence_n to_o all_o man_n that_o be_v not_o guide_v by_o a_o partial_a spirit_n that_o apollo_n here_o preach_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o office_n or_o ordination_n but_o by_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o

that_o some_o thing_n especial_o above_o other_o man_n be_v record_v of_o he_o as_o that_o namely_o he_o be_v a_o very_a eloquent_a man_n answ_n 18.24_o act_n 18.24_o and_o that_o he_o be_v mighty_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o he_o bold_o teach_v and_o that_o by_o his_o teach_n he_o mighty_o convince_v the_o jew_n but_o that_o this_o do_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v extraordinary_o endue_v with_o gift_n from_o god_n i_o can_v see_v but_o do_v believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o for_o that_o i_o shall_v offer_v the_o reader_n these_o reason_n first_o because_o if_o god_n have_v extraordinary_o inspire_v he_o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o reveal_v will_n way_n and_o council_n of_o god_n declare_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o only_o to_o have_v know_v the_o

oiher_n apostles_n 16._o john_n 14.28_o and_o 16.13_o to_o 16._o 2._o because_o if_o he_o have_v be_v so_o inspire_v than_o he_o will_v have_v no_o need_n of_o aquillaes_n and_o priscilla_n teach_v or_o more_o perfect_a learning_n he_o the_o way_n of_o god_n for_o than_o he_o may_v better_o have_v teach_v they_o but_o we_o find_v that_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o they_o take_v he_o unto_o they_o and_o expound_v or_o show_v he_o the_o way_n of_o god_n more_o perfect_o and_o therefore_o for_o these_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o i_o believe_v he_o be_v not_o extraordinary_o guift_v of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o may_v serve_v to_o evidence_n the_o truth_n from_o those_o false_a gloss_n and_o misinterpretation_n that_o some_o have_v endeavour_v to_o put_v upon_o this_o scripture_n to_o
