we_o be_v treat_v of_o revelation_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v like_a light_n to_o be_v know_v by_o itself_o and_o that_o the_o best_a way_n therefore_o be_v to_o take_v the_o

they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o say_v this_o be_v land_n and_o that_o water_n or_o whether_o neither_o of_o the_o two_o and_o we_o talk_v as_o much_o at_o random_n when_o we_o leave_v the_o beat_a track_n of_o scripture_n and_o think_v to_o find_v out_o by_o our_o own_o reason_n what_o we_o must_v understand_v by_o revelation_n alone_o we_o can_v only_o think_v and_o discourse_v of_o such_o

upon_o the_o argument_n in_o hand_n i_o shall_v sole_o keep_v myself_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n all_o i_o pretend_v be_v to_o compare_v scripture_n with_o itself_o and_o to_o try_v if_o by_o
