what_o can_v not_o god_n which_o make_v both_o mind_n and_o tongue_n speak_v plain_o and_o perspicuous_o yea_o certain_o he_o use_v great_a care_n and_o providence_n that_o all_o man_n may_v

32_o yet_o when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v perspicuous_a we_o will_v not_o have_v it_o so_o understand_v as_o if_o we_o mean_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v contain_v any_o where_o in_o scripture_n be_v so_o easy_a and_o plain_a that_o any_o man_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n may_v understand_v it_o 33_o but_o this_o be_v our_o meaning_n that_o the_o perspicuity_n of_o scripture_n be_v such_o that_o from_o thence_o a_o man_n may_v learn_v sure_a and_o infallible_a ground_n and_o principle_n of_o religion_n the_o knowledge_n whereof_o be_v necessary_a unto_o every_o man_n towards_o the_o attainment_n of_o everlasting_a salvation_n 34_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v the_o integrall_a part_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o both_o those_o
