which_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o church_n 3._o how_o know_v i_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n 4._o how_o know_v i_o that_o this_o doctrine_n and_o these_o word_n be_v of_o god_n or_o a_o divine_a revelation_n 5._o how_o know_v i_o that_o they_o be_v true_a §_o 3._o i._o to_o the_o first_o question_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o know_v that_o i_o hear_v and_o read_v the_o word_n and_o that_o this_o bible_n contain_v in_o it_o all_o its_o visible_a content_n by_o my_o sense_n my_o sight_n and_o hear_n and_o my_o intellective_a perception_n of_o thing_n sensible_a and_o though_o this_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o which_o the_o papist_n agree_v not_o with_o we_o i_o be_o never_o the_o more_o in_o doubt_n whether_o i_o see_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n §_o 4._o ii_o to_o the_o second_o i_o know_v that_o this_o doctrine_n and_o book_n be_v the_o same_o which_o by_o the_o apostle_n be_v deliver_v to_o the_o church_n by_o infallible_a history_n not_o such_o as_o depend_v on_o the_o honesty_n of_o the_o speaker_n only_o and_o so_o beget_v but_o a_o humane_a faith_n much_o less_o such_o as_o depend_v on_o the_o bare_a authority_n of_o the_o king_n of_o rome_n and_o his_o narrow_a selfish_a sect_n or_o party_n and_o kingdom_n but_o by_o such_o history_n as_o have_v a_o certainty_n in_o it_o from_o natural_a principle_n by_o which_o we_o prove_v it_o impossible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v deceit_n there_o be_v so_o full_a a_o concurrence_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o christian_n and_o enemy_n also_o and_o infallible_a circumstantial_a evidence_n even_o as_o i_o know_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n at_o rome_n as_o gregory_n 1._o and_o gregory_n 7._o and_o such_o person_n in_o england_n as_o henry_n 8._o king_n edward_n 6._o queen_n marry_o queen_n elizabeth_z etc._n etc._n and_o as_o i_o know_v that_o our_o statute_n book_n be_v not_o counterfeit_v and_o as_o your_o doctor_n know_v that_o the_o act_n and_o decree_n of_o council_n the_o work_n of_o bellarmine_n baronius_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o counterfeit_v which_o be_v not_o because_o the_o pope_n or_o a_o general_n council_n say_v so_o but_o by_o rational_a evidence_n of_o certain_a history_n which_o leave_v not_o man_n mind_n in_o doubt_n §_o 5._o but_o i_o be_o not_o equal_o certain_a of_o some_o question_a book_n or_o readins_n no_o nor_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o some_o difficult_a word_n as_o i_o be_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n which_o be_v more_o evident_a be_v more_o past_a controversy_n §_o 6._o iii_o i_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n speak_v or_o write_v as_o you_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o a_o man_n that_o talk_v with_o you_o or_o of_o any_o other_o write_n as_o of_o your_o council_n decretal_n mass-book_n bellarmine_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v by_o the_o significance_n of_o such_o word_n by_o humane_a usage_n from_o those_o day_n till_o now_o which_o lexicon_n book_n and_o successive_a practice_n full_o prove_v §_o 7._o but_o there_o be_v plain_a passage_n in_o scripture_n which_o i_o understand_v certain_o not_o because_o the_o pope_n say_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n such_o be_v all_o the_o essential_o of_o christianity_n and_o abundance_n more_o and_o there_o be_v difficult_a passage_n which_o i_o be_o not_o certain_a of_o the_o sense_n of_o §_o 8._o iv._o i_o know_v that_o this_o doctrine_n and_o the_o bible_n contain_v it_o as_o such_o be_v of_o god_n or_o be_v his_o word_n by_o the_o spirit_n attest_v and_o feeling_n it_o not_o in_o the_o fanatic_a sense_n as_o they_o think_v they_o have_v a_o inward_a impulse_n persuade_v they_o that_o so_o it_o be_v as_o some_o papist_n think_v the_o pope_n and_o council_n know_v that_o to_o be_v of_o god_n which_o they_o decree_v by_o prophetical_a inspiration_n but_o 1._o as_o to_o the_o gospel_n the_o spirit_n attest_v it_o by_o antecedent_n prophecy_n 2._o the_o image_n of_o god_n power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n imprint_v on_o the_o scripture_n be_v its_o

may_v from_o a_o sensibleness_n taste_v that_o it_o be_v god_n word_n if_o a_o bible_n have_v come_v to_o they_o by_o chance_n and_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o it_o before_o i_o say_v that_o they_o may_v do_v so_o if_o you_o can_v suppose_v they_o spiritual_o dispose_v before_o but_o if_o not_o yet_o they_o may_v strong_o suspect_v that_o it_o be_v god_n word_n when_o they_o read_v that_o it_o affirm_v itself_o to_o be_v so_o and_o that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n upon_o it_o be_v so_o clear_a 3._o but_o the_o concomitant_a evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n make_v up_o the_o proof_n in_o
