typical_a word_n and_o sentence_n concern_v type_n and_o figure_n of_o all_o these_o this_o i_o say_v general_o that_o in_o all_o such_o place_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v but_o one_o only_a simple_a

not_o be_v otherwise_o but_o there_o must_v be_v such_o in_o the_o scripture_n first_o i_o say_v that_o such_o word_n have_v but_o one_o signification_n only_o in_o such_o place_n and_o that_o the_o

may_v deprehend_v that_o one_o signification_n and_o that_o one_o plain_a scripture_n how_o to_o understand_v a_o doubtful_a word_n phrase_n or_o sentence_n in_o scripture_n meaning_n of_o the_o word_n we_o desire_v to_o find_v either_o by_o the_o drift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o place_n or_o text_n where_o any_o such_o word_n be_v or_o by_o conference_n of_o other_o place_n of_o

text_n of_o scripture_n i_o say_v that_o there_o such_o word_n be_v use_v by_o y_z e_z holy_a ghost_n purposely_o to_o express_v in_o a_o more_o significant_a and_o lively_a manner_n but_o one_o sense_n and_o meaning_n as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n by_o the_o metonymy_n which_o be_v in_o the_o word_n body_n the_o spirit_n speak_v more_o significant_o then_o if_o he_o

of_o the_o thing_n signify_v next_o i_o say_v if_o the_o trope_n seem_v somewhat_o obscure_a and_o strange_a that_o you_o may_v find_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o same_o trope_n by_o a_o word_n of_o proper_a signification_n either_o in_o the_o same_o scripture_n or_o in_o some_o other_o scripture_n where_o the_o like_a trope_n may_v be_v find_v if_o you_o meet_v in_o scripture_n with_o a_o sentence_n seem_v ambiguous_a ambiguous_a a_o sentence_n in_o scripture_n seem_v ambiguous_a first_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o god_n spirit_n do_v not_o purposely_o speak_v doubtful_o as_o sophister_n do_v but_o have_v ever_o one_o single_a and_o plain_a meaning_n but_o man_n do_v both_o give_v and_o receive_v a_o evil_a construction_n of_o the_o context_n either_o ignorant_o or_o malicious_o next_o i_o say_v that_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n do_v more_o clear_o set_v forth_o the_o self_n same_o matter_n final_o if_o you_o find_v allegory_n in_o scripture_n of_o they_o this_o i_o affirm_v that_o first_o they_o serve_v for_o illustration_n next_o that_o they_o have_v but_o one_o signification_n or_o sense_n and_o the_o same_o be_v either_o manifest_a and_o need_v
