reason_n which_o i_o shall_v recount_v unto_o you_o be_v this_o that_o to_o make_v the_o scripture_n this_o sole_a rule_n and_o judge_n be_v in_o effect_v not_o to_o make_v the_o scripture_n so_o but_o to_o make_v every_o individual_a man_n and_o woman_n who_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o read_v and_o understand_v the_o scripture_n such_o a_o rule_n and_o judge_n unto_o themselves_o for_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o judge_v by_o my_o own_o reason_n and_o judge_v by_o a_o law_n to_o be_v interpret_v by_o my_o own_o reason_n this_o be_v to_o make_v the_o scripture_n not_o god_n word_n but_o the_o word_n of_o every_o private_a man_n hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o christ_n be_v god_n as_o certain_o and_o infallible_o he_o be_v and_o if_o he_o true_o love_v those_o soul_n for_o which_o he_o die_v he_o have_v certain_o provide_v for_o they_o some_o more_o assure_a mean_n by_o which_o to_o know_v the_o true_a faith_n without_o which_o he_o will_v not_o save_v they_o then_o by_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v interpret_v by_o each_o one_o as_o he_o think_v best_o for_o what_o law_n maker_n be_v there_o ever_o find_v so_o ridiculous_a as_o to_o gather_v a_o people_n into_o a_o body_n and_o give_v they_o a_o law_n book_n in_o writing_n to_o govern_v they_o and_o to_o be_v their_o only_a judge_n in_o all_o their_o difference_n without_o appoint_v nay_o express_o prohibeting_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o live_a judge_n or_o judge_n or_o any_o court_n to_o expound_v this_o law_n and_o to_o have_v the_o executive_a authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n from_o whence_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o appeal_n have_v consider_v after_o this_o manner_n what_o can_v be_v say_v for_o the_o private_a spirit_n reason_n and_o the_o sole_a sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n i_o be_v in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o see_v what_o can_v be_v say_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n resolve_v from_o these_o premise_n that_o if_o here_o i_o can_v not_o find_v a_o satisfaction_n in_o point_n of_o certainty_n and_o a_o infallible_a assurance_n i_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v it_o as_o far_o as_o i_o yet_o understand_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o christianity_n and_o consequent_o must_v conclude_v that_o religion_n and_o faith_n be_v no_o more_o than_o fancy_n and_o opinion_n i_o think_v it_o not_o unreasonable_a and_o other_o person_n will_v doubtless_o have_v think_v the_o argument_n strong_a enough_o if_o i_o have_v seek_v no_o further_o but_o conclude_v the_o private_a spirit_n be_v not_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o this_o rule_n and_o judge_n therefore_o the_o church_n be_v but_o i_o resolve_v to_o examine_v far_o and_o have_v agree_v the_o point_n that_o such_o a_o rule_n and_o judge_n there_o must_v always_o be_v of_o necessity_n and_o therefore_o there_o have_v always_o be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o one_o unless_o we_o shall_v say_v which_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v that_o god_n be_v defective_a in_o necessary_n i_o find_v first_o for_o the_o first_o 2000_o year_n before_o any_o scripture_n be_v write_v the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v this_o rule_n and_o judge_n be_v not_o circumcision_n and_o other_o right_n bring_v in_o by_o abraham_n and_o practise_v by_o the_o church_n then_o without_o any_o scripture_n to_o try_v they_o by_o what_o will_v you_o have_v say_v if_o you_o have_v then_o live_v will_v you_o have_v disobey_v the_o then_o church_n and_o reject_v those_o ordinance_n because_o there_o be_v then_o no_o scripture_n to_o warrant_v they_o second_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v so_o to_o the_o jew_n after_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v and_o this_o by_o the_o express_a direction_n of_o scripture_n deut._n 17._o 8._o
