itself_o final_o when_o the_o adversary_n be_v bid_v to_o bring_v forth_o what_o these_o point_n be_v than_o that_o lie_a spirit_n bewray_v himself_o because_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o will_v

the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n that_o we_o may_v consent_v unto_o the_o point_n of_o christian_a religion_n as_o unto_o true_a ground_n and_o much_o more_o that_o we_o may_v

elsewhere_o be_v teach_v tban_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n because_o the_o church_n be_v the_o congregation_n of_o they_o that_o must_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n &_o to_o who_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o

be_v one_o manner_n of_o thing_n to_o understande_v what_o this_o or_o that_o man_n say_v than_o so_o to_o understand_v the_o thing_n which_o thou_o do_v perceive_v that_o thou_o also_o approve_v of_o they_o god_n comprehension_n knowledge_n and_o full_a persuasion_n must_v be_v distinguish_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o which_o that_o to_o wit_n comprehension_n be_v natural_a the_o other_o be_v in_o deed_n spiritual_a but_o also_o common_a to_o many_o reprobate_n the_o three_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o not_o only_o that_o thou_o understand_v what_o the_o thing_n
