and_o consequent_o the_o insufficiency_n of_o your_o rule_n of_o faith_n tradition_n have_v be_v make_v appear_v it_o will_v be_v fit_a to_o vindicate_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o that_o rule_n which_o we_o rely_v upon_o in_o which_o work_n the_o first_o hindrance_n that_o i_o meet_v with_o be_v this_o objection_n of_o you_o that_o the_o particular_a book_n of_o scripture_n be_v write_v for_o other_o particular_a end_n and_o not_o to_o give_v we_o a_o complete_a body_n of_o faith_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o by_o particular_a book_n of_o scripture_n you_o understand_v each_o

praise_n god_n some_o to_o discipline_n we_o in_o matter_n of_o practice_n that_o we_o may_v know_v how_o aptly_o to_o serve_v and_o please_v he_o and_o other_o to_o instruct_v we_o in_o matter_n of_o belief_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o rely_v upon_o he_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o you_o remit_v the_o least_o of_o this_o abstract_n and_o independent_a consideration_n of_o the_o particular_a book_n of_o scripture_n i_o must_v then_o profess_v that_o i_o steadfast_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v all_o design_v to_o this_o chief_a and_o primary_n end_v of_o compose_v that_o complete_a body_n of_o faith_n whereon_o christ_n perfect_a church_n shall_v be_v build_v as_o certain_o as_o so_o many_o several_a part_n of_o a_o building_n have_v each_o a_o particular_a end_n

of_o that_o when_o the_o subordinate_a workman_n that_o frame_v it_o think_v of_o nothing_o far_o than_o of_o the_o piece_n he_o be_v in_o hand_n with_o so_o oftentimes_o the_o almighty_a architect_n when_o his_o minister_n perhaps_o never_o look_v further_a than_o that_o service_n in_o particular_a wherein_o they_o be_v employ_v some_o perhaps_o in_o a_o gospel_n in_o a_o epistle_n some_o he_o
