be_v dead_a write_v then_o become_v needful_a but_o that_o in_o those_o circumstance_n oral_a tradition_n be_v a_o sufficient_a way_n of_o convey_v a_o doctrine_n what_o i_o note_n be_v that_o you_o

when_o your_o pregnant_a fancy_n and_o dextrous_a pencil_n come_v to_o delineate_v it_o which_o show_v indeed_o much_o crafty_a wit_n but_o i_o doubt_v the_o reader_n will_v think_v it_o argue_v not_o too_o much_o honesty_n i_o affirm_v sure-footing_a p._n 17._o that_o the_o numerous_a comment_n write_v upon_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o infinite_a dispute_n about_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o even_o in_o most_o concern_v point_n as_o in_o that_o of_o christ_n divinity_n beat_v it_o out_o so_o plain_a to_o we_o that_o this_o to_o wit_n to_o find_v out_o a_o certain_a sense_n of_o scripture_n by_o their_o interpretation_n be_v not_o the_o task_n of_o the_o vulgar_a that_o it_o be_v perfect_a frenzy_n to_o deny_v it_o which_o you_o quote_v p._n 85._o and_o diverse_a other_o place_n leave_v out_o still_o my_o word_n and_o sense_n that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o task_n of_o the_o vulgar_a upon_o which_o that_o whole_a §_o proceed_v and_o impugn_v it_o according_o see_v your_o own_o word_n p._n 86._o make_v i_o say_v the_o protestant_n can_v be_v certain_a of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o it_o as_o if_o protestant_n and_o vulgar_a be_v the_o same_o notion_n also_o p._n 86._o he_o tell_v we_o say_v you_o the_o numerous_a comment_n upon_o scripture_n be_v a_o evidence_n that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v certain_a of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o it_o this_o improve_v it_o into_o a_o very_a ample_a falsification_n for_o the_o word_n no_o man_n exclude_v all_o catholic_n too_o and_o indeed_o all_o the_o world_n however_o proceed_v to_o interpret_v it_o whereas_o i_o only_o engage_v in_o the_o place_n cite_v against_o the_o vulgar_a and_o after_o you_o have_v end_v you_o confute_v all_o build_v on_o your_o own_o omission_n of_o those_o important_a word_n you_o single_v out_o after_o your_o old_a fashion_n two_o or_o three_o of_o my_o word_n it_o be_v perfect_a frenzy_n to_o deny_v it_o and_o call_v it_o a_o hot_a phrase_n whereas_o it_o be_v very_o lukewarm_a take_v in_o the_o

differ_v about_o it_o how_o you_o will_v clear_v yourself_o of_o this_o kind_a insincerity_n without_o cast_v a_o mist_n before_o man_n eye_n that_o they_o can_v read_v right_a i_o can_v in_o your_o behalf_n imagine_v p._n 104_o you_o quote_v i_o twice_o as_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o man_n may_v safe_o rely_v on_o a_o general_a and_o uncontrolled_a tradition_n which_o though_o you_o

join_v by_o you_o to_o certainty_n ay_o who_o contend_v for_o the_o absolute_a certainty_n of_o faith_n will_v say_v uncontrollable_a not_o uncontrolled_a for_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v uncontrolled_a mere_o because_o it_o have_v the_o good_a fortune_n that_o none_o have_v occasion_n to_o look_v into_o it_o and_o so_o control_v it_o whereas_o nothing_o can_v be_v uncontrollable_a but_o by_o
