that_o against_o flatter_a falsehood_n we_o use_v faithful_a flatness_n second_o that_o contrary_a to_o childishness_n &_o folly_n we_o show_v wisdom_n and_o discretion_n and_o these_o be_v join_v

matter_n of_o all_o their_o doctrine_n as_o paul_n curse_v all_o aftercomer_n that_o shall_v preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n yea_o though_o he_o be_v a_o angel_n so_o he_o pardon_v no_o predecessor_n that_o have_v broach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n though_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n let_v we_o then_o with_o trustiness_n the_o first_o note_n join_v wisdom_n the_o second_o also_o as_o two_o leg_n to_o

himself_o who_o come_v for_o the_o same_o nonce_n can_v convince_v we_o the_o contrary_a but_o that_o we_o keep_v touch_v with_o the_o verity_n write_v &_o speak_v wisdom_n not_o of_o man_n nor_o
