the_o scripture_n when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o have_v seem_v good_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o who_o deny_v it_o we_o have_v too_o great_a a_o veneration_n for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o

which_o be_v recommend_v by_o his_o authority_n who_o you_o judge_v it_o a_o wickedness_n to_o resist_v all_o this_o we_o can_v ready_o subscribe_v to_o for_o when_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o
