4._o i_o ask_v once_o more_o whether_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o must_v not_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o any_o man_n can_v believe_v

those_o who_o deny_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o we_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n than_o the_o

and_o thus_o much_o for_o john_n and_o william_n and_o the_o infallible_a guide_n if_o john_n have_v any_o reason_n independent_a on_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o guide_n he_o may_v then_o try_v

he_o answer_v let_v it_o be_v so_o but_o what_o follow_v here_o but_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o unerring_a interpreter_n what_o follow_v why_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o can_v prove_v
