be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o authority_n and_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v make_v apparent_a from_o god_n spirit_n and_o from_o themselves_o without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o church_n which_o assertion_n do_v contradict_v the_o papist_n who_o do_v audacious_o affirm_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v absolute_o depend_v upon_o the_o church_n the_o absurd_a

give_v unto_o it_o be_v to_o make_v the_o scripture_n no_o otherwise_o but_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n yea_o it_o be_v to_o make_v the_o eternal_a and_o inviolable_a truth_n of_o god_n rest_n upon_o the_o

such_o like_a be_v the_o absurdity_n that_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v hold_v by_o retain_v opinion_n of_o this_o kind_n paulus_n but_o do_v not_o austin_n say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n save_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n move_v he_o thereto_o evangelus_n the_o papist_n do_v give_v a_o false_a interpretation_n upon_o his_o word_n if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o his_o writing_n for_o as_o calvin_n well_o observe_v austin_n have_v then_o to_o do_v with_o the_o manichee_n who_o argue_v with_o they_o speak_v thus_o i_o myself_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n save_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n move_v i_o thereto_o mean_v that_o he_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n from_o the_o faith_n can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v bring_v to_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n for_o the_o assure_a truth_n of_o god_n but_o by_o this_o that_o he_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o
