time_n as_o little_a knowledge_n of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o he_o call_v sound_o as_o any_o young_a grammarian_n either_o have_v or_o can_v have_v of_o the_o deep_a mystery_n of_o divinity_n for_o i_o know_v that_o before_o that_o time_n he_o never_o give_v himself_o to_o any_o grave_a study_n neither_o do_v he_o gyve_v himself_o to_o any_o manner_n of_o orderly_a read_n but_o his_o whole_a

the_o time_n of_o my_o ordinary_a dinner_n and_o supper_n unto_o which_o exercise_n i_o do_v employ_v he_o as_o i_o do_v other_o young_a boy_n that_o i_o keep_v in_o my_o house_n as_o i_o keep_v he_o and_o yet_o see_v how_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o condemn_v for_o most_o false_a damnable_a and_o contrary_a to_o all_o wholesome_a doctrine_n yea_o and_o to_o the_o scripture_n itself_o the_o opinion_n that_o those_o two_o excellent_a man_n john_n caluine_n and_o martin_n luther_n hold_v and_o teach_v and_o have_v leave_v behind_o they_o in_o write_v to_o the_o view_n of_o all_o

speech_n that_o he_o use_v he_o will_v seem_v to_o have_v read_v and_o weigh_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o to_o have_v confer_v the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o as_o one_o very_o
