away_o that_o make_v to_o the_o substance_n of_o doctrine_n all_o this_o can_v to_o be_v know_v by_o scripture_n but_o prove_v only_o by_o certain_a humane_a weak_a conjecture_n if_o you_o take_v away_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o the_o whole_a foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n shall_v rely_v upon_o uncertain_a conjecture_n moreover_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o scripture_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o word_n but_o in_o the_o sense_n &_o meaning_n which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o there_o may_v be_v a_o thousand_o controversy_n about_o the_o sense_n which_o can_v in_o any_o sort_n be_v decide_v by_o the_o scripture_n itself_o if_o you_o take_v a_o way_n tradition_n and_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o

first_o rule_n how_o to_o believe_v for_o every_o one_o may_v say_v that_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o by_o the_o inspiration_n thereof_o can_v judge_v and_o determine_v that_o this_o part_n or_o

a_o one_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o man_n can_v not_o be_v think_v a_o competent_a judge_n since_o no_o matter_n in_o controversy_n can_v be_v determine_v or_o end_v by_o sentence_n give_v by_o

while_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o do_v stiff_o maintain_v that_o it_o be_v most_o plain_a that_o it_o hold_v and_o stand_v for_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o controversy_n be_v never_o end_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o vain_a but_o also_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o appoint_v the_o scripture_n alone_o for_o judge_n for_o in_o every_o controversy_n there_o ought_v such_o a_o judge_n to_o be_v design_v who_o may_v so_o give_v sentence_n as_o it_o may_v be_v manifest_a to_o all_o and_o most_o of_o all_o to_o those_o party_n on_o who_o behalf_n the_o cause_n be_v

manifest_a that_o they_o admit_v not_o any_o judge_n at_o all_o by_o who_o the_o cause_n may_v be_v determine_v beside_o their_o private_a judgement_n alone_o for_o they_o do_v as_o if_o titus_n and_o caius_n have_v a_o suit_n at_o law_n will_v not_o have_v any_o other_o judge_n in_o the_o matter_n but_o justinian_n his_o code_n together_o with_o the_o pandect_n without_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o the_o interpretation_n of_o doctor_n and_o titus_n produce_v for_o his_o own_o right_n some_o law_n shall_v by_o it_o maintain_v that_o the_o cause_n be_v manifest_o adjudge_v for_o he_o and_o caius_n again_o shall_v deny_v it_o who_o by_o cite_v a_o other_o law_n for_o himself_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o that_o law_n favour_v &_o make_v for_o he_o which_o titus_n will_v in_o lake_n manner_n deny_v and_o so_o they_o shall_v both_o depart_v without_o any_o decision_n of_o the_o cause_n or_o controversy_n in_o hand_n will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o matter_n worthy_a of_o laughter_n and_o all_o will_v say_v that_o neither_o of_o they_o desire_v the_o determination_n or_o decision_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o that_o neither_o admit_v other_o judge_n than_o his_o own_o judgement_n in_o the_o very_a like_o manner_n in_o this_o that_o they_o will_v not_o have_v any_o other_o judge_n then_o scripture_n and_o every_o one_o reserve_v the_o interpretation_n thereof_o to_o his_o own_o spirit_n they_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o have_v no_o will_n that_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v decide_v or_o define_v by_o any_o lawful_a way_n nor_o to_o admit_v any_o judge_n but_o their_o own_o judgement_n four_o how_o very_o insufficient_a this_o rule_n of_o belief_n be_v experience_n itself_o plain_o teach_v for_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o end_n of_o controversy_n among_o they_o even_o about_o the_o great_a matter_n of_o faith_n since_o at_o this_o very_a time_n the_o lutheran_n caluinist_n
