either_o by_o force_n of_o the_o say_a scripture_n or_o by_o authority_n of_o any_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n of_o both_o which_o i_o will_v treat_v in_o order_n 1._o of_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n phil_n 2_o 10._o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n shall_v every_o knee_n bow_n both_o of_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o thing_n in_o earth_n and_o thiug_n under_o the_o earth_n if_o it_o be_v the_o true_a proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n of_o this_o text_n that_o we_o must_v bow_v the_o knee_n by_o external_a reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n than_o it_o be_v a_o precept_n bind_v we_o to_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o practice_n by_o indispensable_a obligation_n if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o say_a scripture_n to_o bow_v the_o knee_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n by_o such_o a_o external_a act_n of_o reverence_n then_o be_v we_o not_o bind_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o ceremony_n by_o the_o force_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o enter_v therefore_o into_o a_o more_o exact_a and_o sound_a discussion_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v observe_v 3._o rule_n which_o serve_v to_o open_v this_o particular_a and_o sundry_a other_o in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n 1._o whereas_o no_o point_n of_o religion_n can_v be_v demonstrate_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n but_o as_o the_o scripture_n be_v take_v in_o the_o true_a proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n which_o the_o learn_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v also_o confess_v we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v but_o one_o true_a proper_a &_o literal_a sense_n the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v the_o very_a form_n of_o it_o and_o every_o thing_n have_v but_o one_o form_n as_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n do_v dictate_v to_o our_o understanding_n so_o that_o all_o other_o sense_n so_o call_v as_o tropilogicall_a allegorical_a analogical_a 9_o be_v indeed_o not_o proper_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o a_o accommodation_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o reader_n &_o hearer_n 2._o second_o that_o be_v the_o true_a proper_a &_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o speaker_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o do_v import_v to_o our_o understanding_n by_o what_o word_n soever_o proper_a or_o unproper_a the_o say_a sense_n be_v express_v in_o the_o scripture_n 3._o three_o we_o must_v therefore_o observe_v that_o the_o true_a proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o always_o that_o which_o the_o word_n do_v bear_v immediate_o in_o their_o grammatical_a signification_n but_o that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v sometime_o proper_a as_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n sometime_o improper_a or_o methaphoricall_a as_o christ_n be_v a_o vine_n a_o dore._n now_o if_o the_o word_n be_v improper_a and_o metaphorical_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o we_o must_v note_v that_o as_o d●s_v whitaker_n do_v true_o advertise_v bellarmine_n the_o improper_a word_n carry_v not_o in_o they_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n immediate_o for_o then_o great_a absurdity_n will_v follow_v but_o mediate_o that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o they_o be_v reduce_v unto_o proper_a word_n as_o here_o bow_v the_o knee_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v a_o improper_a or_o methaphoricall_a speech_n and_o be_v reduce_v to_o this_o proper_a speech_n viz._n a_o subjection_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o true_a proper_a &_o literal_a sense_n of_o that_o scripture_n be_v contain_v in_o a_o improper_a &_o metaphorical_a speech_n i_o come_v therefore_o punctual_o to_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n and_o say_v that_o the_o true_a proper_a &_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v according_a to_o the_o intention_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o represent_v unto_o our_o understanding_n not_o a_o outward_a ceremony_n of_o bow_v the_o knee_n of_o the_o body_n but_o a_o real_a subject_n on_o of_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n earth_n and_o hell_n unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n also_o now_o exalt_v unto_o glory_n whereas_o therefore_o s._n paul_n say_v god_n
