the_o force_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o enter_v therefore_o into_o a_o more_o exact_a and_o sound_a discussion_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v observe_v 3._o rule_n which_o serve_v

the_o scripture_n be_v take_v in_o the_o true_a proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n which_o the_o learn_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v also_o confess_v we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o
