that_o that_o the_o soul_n stand_v on_o must_v stand_v itself_o now_o nothing_o have_v a_o firm_a consistence_n but_o that_o which_o be_v divine_a which_o i_o prove_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o

it_o be_v a_o old_a rule_n falsehood_n can_v be_v under_o faith_n because_o faith_n must_v lie_v upon_o truth_n infallible_a and_o immutable_a truth_n and_o who_o be_v so_o but_o god_n and_o what_o

than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v therefore_o infallible_a and_o true_a because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v so_o that_o he_o

that_o they_o can_v err_v that_o must_v be_v trust_v before_o they_o if_o they_o have_v credit_n from_o the_o word_n the_o word_n must_v be_v believe_v before_o they_o before_o man_n for_o there_o
