from_o which_o case_n by_o a_o parity_n of_o reason_n we_o may_v argue_v that_o whatever_o alter_v the_o term_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o make_v that_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n which_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o make_v necessary_a or_o that_o unnecessary_a which_o the_o gospel_n have_v make_v necessary_a be_v such_o a_o pervert_n it_o as_o make_v it_o another_o gospel_n for_o that_o be_v to_o set_v up_o that_o as_o a_o divine_a revelation_n which_o have_v not_o the_o divine_a authority_n to_o confirm_v it_o for_o it_o be_v god_n alone_o that_o can_v appoint_v the_o term_n of_o salvation_n and_o so_o what_o no_o man_n or_o society_n of_o man_n have_v any_o authority_n in_o to_o frame_v alter_v or_o revoke_v the_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o instance_n of_o our_o duty_n must_v have_v a_o divine_a establishment_n and_o so_o what_o we_o must_v learn_v either_o from_o the_o invariable_a principle_n and_o dictate_v of_o human_a nature_n or_o pure_a revelation_n 2._o that_o be_v another_o gospel_n which_o pretend_v to_o a_o revelation_n from_o god_n for_o its_o authority_n when_o it_o be_v of_o human_a invention_n or_o imagination_n and_o that_o whether_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a it_o may_v for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o not_o be_v a_o revelation_n but_o proceed_v only_o from_o man_n and_o then_o to_o place_v that_o to_o the_o account_n of_o revelation_n though_o it_o be_v for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o true_a be_v a_o notorious_a falsehood_n and_o imposture_n but_o if_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o it_o be_v false_a it_o be_v a_o double_a falsehood_n as_o it_o pretend_v to_o a_o revelation_n which_o be_v not_o revelation_n and_o also_o call_v in_o the_o veracity_n of_o god_n to_o give_v testimony_n to_o a_o falsehood_n suppose_v then_o that_o the_o immaculate_a conception_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n transubstantiation_n and_o purgatory_n be_v true_a yet_o to_o plead_v a_o revelation_n for_o they_o as_o it_o be_v plead_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n 8._o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o revelation_n do_v fix_v such_o a_o indelible_a blot_n upon_o the_o pretend_a infallible_a church_n as_o all_o the_o water_n of_o tiber_n can_v cleanse_v but_o if_o it_o shall_v prove_v false_a as_o those_o thing_n certain_o be_v than_o it_o be_v to_o add_v a_o sort_n of_o blasphemy_n to_o the_o imposture_n as_o it_o make_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n to_o justify_v a_o falsehood_n 3._o that_o be_v another_o gospel_n which_o do_v establish_v another_o rule_n or_o add_v to_o or_o detract_v from_o that_o which_o be_v establish_v rev._n 22._o 18._o now_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o practice_n and_o then_o to_o alter_v the_o rule_n by_o add_v to_o it_o or_o take_v from_o it_o be_v to_o alter_v the_o gospel_n which_o that_o contain_v the_o revelation_n of_o as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o not_o only_o add_v the_o apocrypha_fw-la to_o the_o canon_n but_o as_o the_o pharisee_n of_o old_a give_v the_o same_o authority_n to_o unwritten_a tradition_n as_o to_o the_o scripture_n and_o require_v it_o to_o be_v receive_v with_o the_o like_a pious_a regard_n according_a to_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n last_o to_o alter_v to_o add_v to_o or_o diminish_v from_o the_o fundamental_a article_n or_o principle_n of_o it_o be_v to_o make_v it_o another_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n or_o to_o appoint_v other_o mediator_n than_o he_o such_o as_o angel_n and_o saint_n by_o so_o do_v the_o gospel_n be_v render_v as_o imperfect_a and_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o imperfect_a revelation_n of_o it_o but_o this_o there_o be_v no_o occasion_n for_o as_o i_o shall_v now_o
