not_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n 17._o yet_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o together_o and_o at_o once_o commit_v to_o writing_n because_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n &_o the_o wisdom_n of_o

manner_n of_o delivery_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o explain_v the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o universal_a and_o scientifical_a rule_n but_o by_o narration_n example_n precept_n exhortation_n admonition_n and_o promise_n because_o that_o manner_n do_v make_v most_o for_o the_o common_a use_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o man_n and_o also_o most_o to_o affect_v the_o will_n &_o stir_v up_o godly_a motion_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a scope_n of_o divinity_n 20._o also_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v in_o that_o manner_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o although_o the_o thing_n themselves_o

perspicuous_a 21._o hence_o the_o scripture_n need_v not_o especial_o in_o necessary_n any_o such_o explication_n whereby_o light_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o it_o from_o something_o else_o but_o they_o give_v light_n to_o themselves_o which_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o by_o man_n and_o to_o be_v communicate_v to_o other_o according_a to_o their_o call_n 22._o hence_o also_o there_o be_v only_o one_o sense_n of_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n because_o otherwise_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v not_o only_o not_o clear_a and_o certain_a but_o none_o at_o all_o for_o that_o which_o do_v not_o signify_v one_o thing_n signify_v certain_o nothing_o 23._o for_o the_o determine_n of_o controversy_n in_o divinity_n there_o be_v no_o visible_a power_n as_o it_o be_v kingly_a or_o praetorian_a appoint_v in_o the_o church_n but_o there_o be_v lay_v a_o duty_n on_o man_n to_o inquire_v there_o be_v bestow_v a_o gift_n of_o discern_v both_o public_o and_o private_o and_o there_o be_v command_v a_o desire_n to_o further_o the_o knowledge_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o know_a truth_n according_a to_o their_o call_n unto_o which_o also_o be_v join_v a_o promise_n of_o direction_n and_o blessing_n from_o god_n 24._o but_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v for_o the_o use_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o they_o be_v write_v in_o those_o tongue_n which_o more_z most_o common_o vulgar_a in_o the_o church_n at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o be_v write_v 25._o hence_o all_o those_o book_n which_o be_v write_v before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v write_v in_o hebrew_n for_o to_o the_o jew_n be_v commit_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n rom._n 3._o 2._o &_o 9_o 4._o and_o upon_o lice_n reason_n they_o that_o be_v write_v afterward_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o greek_a tongue_n because_o that_o tongue_n be_v most_o common_a in_o those_o part_n be_v the_o church_n do_v first_o flourish_n 26._o hence_o there_o be_v some_o knowledge_n at_o least_o of_o these_o tongue_n necessary_a to_o the_o exact_a understanding_n of_o the_o
the_o devil_n themselves_o 14._o the_o second_o four_o and_o five_o be_v in_o the_o will_n and_o do_v make_v faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n and_o act_n of_o religion_n 15._o the_o three_o as_o

psal._n 1●…9_n 30_o 31._o 18._o for_o by_o faith_n we_o first_o cleave_v to_o god_n and_o then_o afterward_o consequent_o we_o cleave_v to_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v propou●…ded_v to_o we_o by_o

to_o god_n be_v our_o life_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n and_o our_o duty_n towards_o god_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o life_n therefore_o in_o the_o former_a par●…_n we_o have_v define_v it_o

nor_o about_o mere_a predication_n because_o under_o that_o respect_n they_o propound_v no_o good_a to_o we_o but_o it_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o promise_n because_o in_o they_o there_o be_v

faith_n in_o the_o understanding_n do_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v some_o necessary_a motion_n of_o the_o will_n to_o the_o yield_n of_o that_o assent_n even_o as_o in_o humane_a faith_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o voluntary_a thing_n to_o give_v credit_n to_o one_o but_o if_o faith_n depend_v upon_o the_o will_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o faith_n be_v in_o

it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o all_o that_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v with_o a_o divine_a faith_n be_v true_a this_o whole_a demonstration_n be_v manifest_o confirm_v and_o use_v by_o
