of_o belief_n depend_v not_o upon_o the_o publicknes_n of_o a_o exposition_n but_o upon_o the_o soundness_n thereof_o if_o faith_n say_v he_o must_v be_v infallible_a and_o impossible_a to_o be_v either_o proposition_n proof_n of_o the_o proposition_n erroneous_a or_o changeable_a and_o faith_n build_v upon_o private_a exposition_n be_v subject_a to_o error_n and_o change_v then_o he_o that_o

build_v upon_o private_a exposition_n be_v subject_a to_o error_n and_o change_n therefore_o he_o that_o build_v his_o faith_n upon_o his_o own_o private_a exposition_n be_v a_o infidel_n his_o
