they_o will_v not_o have_v to_o be_v perpetual_a and_o immutable_a neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n err_v in_o doctrine_n therefore_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o retain_v those_o testimony_n whereas_o the_o most_o ancient_a writer_n do_v allege_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o origen_n tertullian_n irenaeus_n gregory_n neocaesariens_n trinity_n alexander_n bishop_n of_o alexandria_n
