thereunto_o but_o yet_o all_o the_o learned_a godly_a christian_n in_o all_o former_a age_n have_v hold_v practise_v the_o contrary_a as_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o some_o godly_a eminent_a divine_n among_o we_o now_o conclude_v in_o judgement_n with_o they_o the_o judgement_n therefore_o and_o practise_v of_o all_o age_n church_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n till_o now_o shall_v rather_o sway_v the_o balance_n of_o this_o controversy_n than_o these_o few_o late_a divine_n though_o learned_a and_o judicious_a second_o most_o of_o those_o godly_a learned_a man_n have_v take_v up_o this_o

that_o they_o do_v but_o light_o touch_v it_o in_o the_o by_o and_o so_o away_o not_o serious_o or_o peremptory_o resolve_v it_o ground_v themselves_o upon_o such_o reason_n as_o no_o way_n prove_v

not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v regard_v three_o in_o all_o dispute_n we_o must_v not_o so_o much_o observe_v what_o and_o who_o the_o author_n produce_v be_v as_o what_o their_o proof_n and_o reason_n
