to_o be_v doubt_v but_o all_o the_o learned_a i_o think_v agree_v that_o the_o church_n use_v no_o translation_n but_o the_o greek_a for_o a_o matter_n of_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n for_o two_o hundred_o year_n before_o so_o that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o position_n full_a of_o danger_n for_o man_n to_o affirm_v that_o translation_n be_v not_o a_o rule_n to_o ground_v our_o faith_n on_o when_o we_o understand_v no_o other_o that_o say_v i_o or_o none_o not_o none_o therefore_o that_o and_o now_o at_o last_o after_o the_o clear_n of_o what_o be_v past_a we_o come_v to_o the_o main_a point_n to_o find_v out_o what_o it_o be_v that_o a_o poor_a soul_n who_o understand_v not_o the_o original_n must_v rest_v upon_o first_o i_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o his_o church_n in_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o to_o have_v a_o rule_n to_o build_v our_o faith_n on_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o that_o rule_n for_o common_a people_n must_v be_v the_o scripture_n translate_v or_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o special_a ordinance_n that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v translate_v for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o church_n in_o several_a language_n 37_o for_o the_o original_a copy_n i_o must_v subscribe_v to_o that_o of_o ganus_n a_o papist_n who_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o receive_v into_o the_o holy_a canon_n both_o for_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n but_o such_o book_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v allow_v and_o deliver_v over_o to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v preserve_v the_o hebrew_n original_a of_o the_o old_a testament_n safe_a and_o sure_a so_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o same_o hand_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v and_o do_v preserve_v the_o greek_a original_a of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o original_n shall_v serve_v the_o turn_n of_o all_o or_o immediate_o of_o any_o but_o of_o such_o as_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o tongue_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a few_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o the_o world_n over_o wherefore_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o line_n of_o god_n providence_n have_v and_o do_v and_o will_v carry_v the_o matter_n in_o have_v translation_n of_o several_a language_n so_o inti●e_n as_o to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n to_o ground_v their_o faith_n else_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n must_v needs_o be_v want_v
