these_o ensue_a point_n very_o necessary_a to_o serve_v thyself_o of_o with_o fruit_n and_o profit_n 1._o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o in_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n allege_v throughout_o

commandment_n 2._o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o thou_o admire_v the_o splendour_n of_o truth_n the_o which_o be_v such_o and_o so_o pass_v bright_a that_o notwithstanding_o our_o adversary_n main_n and_o serious_a endeavour_n to_o obscure_v the_o same_o by_o so_o many_o variety_n of_o translation_n &_o by_o such_o a_o number_n of_o gross_a corruption_n and_o falsification_n yet_o nevertheless_o their_o condemnation_n be_v so_o express_o set_v down_o in_o this_o their_o own_o bible_n and_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o nothing_o else_o be_v needful_a

unto_o catholic_n against_o their_o adversary_n concern_v the_o uprightnes_n of_o their_o cause_n to_o offer_v to_o be_v try_v and_o to_o confound_v they_o by_o their_o own_o bible_n the_o

which_o be_v in_o question_n &_o which_o affirm_v nothing_o less_o then_o that_o which_o they_o pretend_v to_o prove_v thereby_o for_o how_o absurd_a be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o

in_o so_o little_a a_o treatise_n 5._o the_o five_o point_n be_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v contend_v with_o thou_o not_o about_o the_o word_n themselves_o as_o be_v clear_a but_o about_o the_o
