both_o the_o contrary_a party_n use_v to_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a on_o their_o own_o side_n they_o both_o show_v that_o it_o be_v difficult_a and_o whereas_o both_o also_o can_v wish_v

which_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v decide_v indeed_o this_o happen_v ordinary_o that_o some_o sentence_n of_o scripture_n seem_v plain_a on_o one_o side_n and_o other_o sentence_n thereof_o
