nine_o hundred_o year_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o catholic_a the_o four_o chapter_n that_o no_o satisfaction_n be_v give_v by_o pretence_n of_o scripture_n 26._o the_o last_o shift_n whereunto_o in_o fine_a you_o betake_v yourself_o be_v to_o leave_v antiquity_n and_o to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o word_n or_o scripture_n only_o and_o here_o too_o you_o be_v so_o nice_a that_o you_o will_v admit_v a_o part_n only_o of_o scripture_n and_o scarce_o know_v what_o your_o own_o self_n but_o of_o this_o hereafter_o
here_o i_o reply_v that_o we_o have_v scripture_n too_o and_o that_o you_o can_v bring_v sufficient_a evidence_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v against_o we_o and_o with_o you_o for_o trial_n of_o this_o i_o be_o content_v according_a to_o your_o desire_n to_o abstract_n from_o all_o other_o mean_n what_o soever_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o learned_a father_n from_o the_o definition_n of_o general_a counsel_n from_o consent_n of_o nation_n and_o other_o argument_n of_o that_o kind_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o scripture_n alone_o will_v approve_v or_o condenne_v our_o religion_n and_o because_o in_o deduce_v a_o consequence_n out_o of_o obscure_a premise_n a_o man_n wit_n may_v be_v deceive_v i_o will_v abstract_n from_o this_o also_o that_o be_v from_o draw_v consequence_n out_o of_o scripture_n look_v only_o to_o that_o which_o be_v and_o necessary_o must_v be_v true_a and_o which_o be_v formal_o avouch_v or_o deny_v in_o god_n word_n and_o i_o argue_v thus_o the_o scripture_n do_v no_o where_o formal_o deny_v any_o point_n of_o our_o faith_n nor_o formal_o affirm_v any_o point_n which_o our_o church_n do_v deny_v therefore_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o
