the_o holy_a scripture_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n &_o that_o perspicuous_o and_o clear_o and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o

be_v able_a to_o furnish_v a_o man_n with_o all_o accomplish_a ability_n sufficiency_n and_o knowledge_n for_o live_v virtuous_o and_o pious_o here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o for_o the_o save_n of_o his_o soul_n eternal_o for_o if_o the_o scripture_n of_o themselves_o be_v of_o such_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v with_o they_o that_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o salvation_n that_o great_a work_n they_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o perfection_n yea_o happiness_n itself_o and_o that_o eternal_a than_o we_o ought_v only_o to_o cleave_v unto_o they_o and_o content_v ourselves_o with_o their_o perfection_n and_o not_o listen_v unto_o the_o vain_a and_o lie_a oracle_n of_o the_o pope_n but_o now_o to_o the_o word_n themselves_o in_o order_n which_o be_v
