they_o so_o bold_o affirm_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v of_o god_n or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o deal_v upright_o in_o this_o affair_n but_o will_v only_o

as_o they_o can_v never_o err_v the_o least_o jot_n in_o their_o doctrine_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n nay_o in_o that_o beginning_n they_o have_v most_o of_o all_o

be_v special_o necessary_a that_o straight_o in_o their_o begin_n their_o doctrine_n have_v be_v solid_a and_o without_o all_o contradiction_n lest_o they_o may_v have_v be_v reject_v and_o contemn_v

they_o can_v not_o err_v any_o long_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v manifest_a to_o the_o world_n that_o man_n may_v know_v when_o to_o believe_v they_o and_o when_o not_o to_o wit_v not_o in_o the_o

that_o they_o either_o exaggerated_a or_o change_v it_o into_o some_o contradiction_n in_o the_o end_n the_o vii_o reason_n take_v from_o the_o fraud_n and_o deceit_n which_o the_o sectary_n common_o
