he_o say_v not_o that_o god_n have_v leave_v his_o scripture_n for_o everi_n man_n to_o read_v it_o alone_o but_o that_o he_o have_v orden_v such_o a_o policy_n and_o order_fw-fr of_o the_o church_n

let_v they_o excuse_v the_o matter_n as_o fyne_o and_o crafty_o as_o they_o list_v for_o the_o sentence_n of_o paul_n be_v most_o evident_a that_o none_o be_v of_o christ_n body_n neither_o can_v or_o oght_n to_o be_v count_v a_o member_n thereof_o unless_o he_o submit_v himself_o to_o this_o common_a rule_n &_o order_n wherefore_o dear_a brethren_n let_v we_o not_o so_o proud_o lift_v up_o our_o

and_o feable_v may_v be_v stay_v what_o folly_n i_o pray_v you_o and_o how_o great_a foolishness_n be_v this_o when_o we_o feel_v our_o foot_n to_o fail_v and_o our_o leg_n to_o bow_v under_o we_o to_o contemn_v and_o despise_v these_o so_o great_a and_o necessary_a help_n to_o prop_n &_o stay_v our_o foot_n as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o profit_n at_o all_o of_o such_o thing_n wherefore_o what_o difference_n soever_o be_v between_o we_o &_o the_o jew_n yet_o must_v we_o know_v that_o this_o doctrine_n which_o david_n here_o set_v forth_o be_v common_a for_o al._n the_o name_n of_o

true_o which_o david_n chief_o regard_v that_o pertain_v as_o much_o unto_o we_o as_o to_o he_o now_o proud_a man_n which_o have_v a_o false_a opinion_n of_o themselves_o will_v not_o much_o regard_n

in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n which_o christ_n ordain_v when_o he_o appoint_v pastor_n curse_a be_v their_o pride_n &_o arrogancy_n which_o will_v flee_v in_o the_o air_n &_o which_o their_o
