then_o before_o all_o the_o people_n have_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o god_n and_o so_o have_v seal_v for_o ever_o to_o that_o whole_a nation_n the_o confession_n of_o his_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o thus_o with_o a_o great_a access_n to_o his_o glory_n on_o earth_n have_v prevent_v their_o so_o great_a and_o long_a apostasy_n what_o mean_v he_o then_o to_o appear_v so_o spare_o and_o in_o corner_n the_o door_n be_v shut_v and_o not_o to_o all_o the_o people_n say_v the_o apostle_n but_o to_o some_o few_o choose_v to_o be_v witness_n though_o he_o be_v not_o here_o defective_a in_o what_o be_v sufficient_a again_o can_v not_o his_o spirit_n that_o have_v lead_v some_o have_v lead_v all_o into_o all_o truth_n if_o he_o have_v please_v to_o give_v it_o to_o they_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n how_o easy_a have_v it_o be_v for_o our_o saviour_n who_o foresee_v that_o sharp_a controversy_n concern_v observance_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n by_o christian_n the_o maintainer_n of_o which_o ceremony_n contend_v only_o for_o they_o because_o they_o think_v christ_n have_v not_o abrogate_a they_o to_o have_v declare_v himself_o open_o in_o that_o point_n when_o he_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n how_o easy_a for_o he_o foresee_v the_o controversy_n ever_o since_o even_o those_o so_o many_o about_o his_o own_o person_n those_o now_o between_o the_o reform_a and_o the_o roman_a church_n to_o have_v cause_v instead_o of_o a_o occasionally-written_a epistle_n such_o a_o creed_n as_o the_o athanasian_n or_o such_o article_n as_o those_o of_o trent_n or_o of_o the_o augustan_n confession_n or_o such_o a_o methodical_a clear_a catechism_n as_o now_o several_a sect_n draw_v up_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o their_o follower_n in_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o religion_n to_o have_v be_v write_v by_o his_o apostle_n will_v any_o one_o say_v that_o have_v such_o write_n be_v h._n scripture_n yet_o these_o controversy_n have_v not_o be_v prevent_v or_o at_o least_o not_o in_o some_o great_a measure_n prevent_v than_o now_o they_o be_v or_o will_v not_o brieflier_n all_o controversy_n have_v be_v prevent_v have_v our_o saviour_n as_o plain_o say_v that_o the_o roman_a bishop_n shall_v regulate_v the_o faith_n of_o his_o church_n for_o ever_o as_o it_o may_v be_v say_v and_o be_v say_v by_o other_o there_o must_v be_v heresy_n then_o and_o 19_o therefore_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v do_v that_o may_v but_o only_o so_o much_o that_o be_v sufficient_a whereby_o they_o shall_v be_v prevent_v neither_o be_v it_o a_o good_a reason_n this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n for_o take_v away_o all_o controversy_n and_o error_n in_o the_o church_n that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v plain_o so_o as_o none_o may_v mistake_v set_v down_o all_o truth_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o know_v infallible_a judge_n therefore_o they_o do_v so_o or_o therefore_o there_o be_v so_o because_o this_o seem_v not_o best_o to_o god_n for_o the_o reason_n forementioned_a and_o for_o many_o other_o perhaps_o not_o know_v which_o make_v the_o apostle_n cry_v 〈◊〉_d
