for_o his_o say_a reason_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v read_v as_o we_o do_v apocryphal_a scripture_n to_o explain_v but_o not_o oblige_v we_o to_o so_o firm_a a_o belief_n of_o what_o be_v here_o

to_o christian_a liberty_n by_o enthral_a the_o conscience_n where_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v free_a but_o if_o on_o the_o other_o side_n which_o be_v the_o truth_n the_o constitution_n of_o the_o

and_o as_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o of_o none_o beside_o bound_n to_o our_o liberty_n that_o the_o freedom_n of_o our_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n ever_o reserve_v we_o must_v yet_o in_o the_o use_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n moderate_v our_o liberty_n by_o order_v ourselves_o according_a unto_o christian_a sobriety_n by_o condescend_v sometime_o to_o our_o brethren_n in_o christian_a
