can_v stand_v unless_o man_n do_v credit_n one_o a_o other_o in_o thing_n wherein_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o distrust_v they_o for_o what_o shall_v we_o know_v of_o thing_n pass_v before_o

what_o familiarity_n human_a society_n or_o friendship_n can_v stand_v if_o we_o admit_v not_o belief_n wherefore_o abbeit_v it_o be_v a_o fault_n to_o believe_v upon_o light_n or_o small_a

excuse_n of_o such_o speech_n because_o as_o they_o say_v all_o point_n of_o christian_n faitb_n be_v in_o scripture_n but_o since_o we_o urge_v they_o only_o to_o give_v humane_a belief_n to_o such_o

they_o must_v reject_v all_o humane_a authority_n all_o man_n word_n or_o write_n and_o believe_v nothing_o but_o what_o either_o god_n have_v write_v or_o themselves_o have_v see_v for_o if_o scripture_n must_v be_v the_o only_a square_n of_o all_o our_o belief_n both_o humane_a and_o dyvine_a we_o must_v believe_v nothing_o but_o what_o god_n haeh_fw-it write_v no_o not_o that_o such_o be_v our_o parent_n that_o there_o be_v turk_n moor_n be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n mention_v not_o or_o if_o we_o admit_v as_o we_o must_v needs_o that_o humane_a authority_n by_o

reason_n why_o such_o authority_n as_o testify_v it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o a_o wise_a man_n to_o give_v credit_n unto_o or_o else_o we_o must_v confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v wilful_a to_o
