our_o age_n but_o only_o the_o same_o church_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o authority_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v two_o thing_n or_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o that_o this_o be_v a_o most_o wicked_a opinion_n to_o say_v that_o without_o the_o church_n the_o word_n of_o

the_o church_n receive_v it_o and_o publish_v it_o but_o because_o that_o god_n have_v give_v it_o and_o make_v the_o same_o manifest_a unto_o us._n beside_o be_v this_o a_o small_a matter_n that_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v his_o peculiar_a office_n to_o guide_v and_o lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n 2.27_o john_n 16.13_o 1._o joh._n 2.27_o and_o to_o teach_v we_o all_o thing_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o teach_v we_o this_o truth_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v of_o god_n and_o

spirit_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n teach_v we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o discern_v between_o these_o book_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o receive_v without_o gainsay_v and_o the_o other_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o reject_v and_o refuse_v some_o perhaps_o will_v say_v that_o this_o article_n or_o point_n be_v dangerous_a because_o that_o heretic_n oftentimes_o brag_v that_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o they_o have_v not_o indeed_o and_o we_o know_v how_o they_o have_v always_o endeavour_v to_o make_v their_o doctrine_n of_o authority_n and_o credit_n through_o their_o inward_a revelation_n which_o they_o have_v imagine_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o we_o can_v easy_o answer_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o in_o this_o matter_n we_o can_v easy_o avoid_v all_o danger_n if_o we_o use_v and_o follow_v the_o remedy_n which_o s._n john_n do_v furnish_v we_o withal_o when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o
