their_o society_n their_o own_o testimony_n not_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n unless_o thou_o know_v thyself_o not_o in_o the_o word_n of_o cavil_v people_n but_o in_o the_o testimony_n of_o my_o

that_o the_o protestant_n be_v the_o true_a church_n which_o be_v to_o make_v it_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n but_o out_o of_o scripture_n i_o can_v prove_v that_o the_o protestant_n be_v a_o church_n
