so_o easy_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o scripture_n do_v not_o go_v about_o mere_o to_o beg_v a_o favourable_a reception_n in_o the_o world_n as_o if_o it_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o such_o mean_a

as_o the_o translator_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o preface_n that_o it_o be_v unbecoming_a the_o dignity_n of_o such_o sacred_a truth_n as_o the_o christian_a religion_n teach_v we_o to_o build_v they_o

the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o very_o much_o question_n the_o authority_n of_o other_o of_o the_o new_a he_o do_v not_o allow_v scripture_n in_o general_n either_o as_o to_o the_o

the_o holy_a penman_n be_v there_o mistake_v and_o contradict_v themselves_o and_o as_o the_o translator_n in_o his_o preface_n p._n 6._o tell_v we_o the_o use_n of_o all_o this_o be_v to_o settle_v
