the_o temptation_n man_n of_o probity_n and_o lover_n of_o truth_n shall_v upon_o diligent_a examination_n hold_v it_o fast_o than_o otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v do_v this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o

other_o church_n will_v bring_v we_o to_o a_o entire_a submission_n to_o her_o authority_n in_o every_o point_n of_o religion_n so_o much_o great_a reason_n there_o be_v to_o examine_v every_o one_o of_o her_o particular_n and_o if_o i_o find_v that_o she_o be_v mistake_v in_o any_o of_o they_o i_o be_o very_o sure_a that_o she_o be_v not_o infallible_a in_o all_o and_o if_o she_o will_v not_o

these_o be_v by_o all_o christian_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o undoubted_a and_o the_o most_o ancient_a record_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n and_o they_o have_v have_v a_o tradition_n so_o
