observe_v the_o first_o proposition_n be_v manifest_a consider_v that_o the_o statute_n off_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o statute_n off_o christ_n the_o second_o be_v augustine_n allow_a off_o the_o

scripture_n by_o aug._n and_o the_o d_z contain_v no_o sufficient_a doctrine_n unto_o salvation_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v manifest_a in_o that_o s._n paul_n to_o deliver_v himself_o from_o the_o guilt_n off_o blood_n towards_o the_o 20._o ephes_n allege_v that_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o all_o the_o will_v off_o god_n the_o second_o follow_v off_o that_o which_o aug._n and_o the_o d._n

be_v so_o necessary_a that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v alter_v upon_o just_a occasion_n by_o such_o as_o have_v authority_n he_o can_v not_o mock_v the_o world_n after_o that_o sort_n with_z fast_a and_o

they_o which_o the_o apostle_n have_v place_v and_o iff_n it_o be_v madness_n as_o he_o say_v afterward_o out_o off_o augustin_n not_o to_o observe_v they_o or_o once_o to_o reason_n off_o they_o how_o can_v they_o take_v order_n in_o they_o and_o this_o answer_n be_v overthrow_v by_o the_o word_n off_o augustin_n which_o follow_v immediate_o but_o other_o thing_n say_v he_o which_o be_v

off_o which_o side_n soever_o the_o church_n determine_v off_o they_o a_o man_n may_v safe_o obey_v the_o other_o must_v needs_o be_v off_o that_o sort_n that_o if_o the_o church_n will_v otherwise_o
