in_o the_o faith_n and_o four_o hereby_o he_o cause_v they_o to_o put_v private_a interpretation_n upon_o the_o scripture_n apply_v they_o at_o their_o pleasure_n to_o particular_a time_n place_n

the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v interpret_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o man_n with_o any_o private_a interpretation_n but_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o we_o can_v only_o find_v out_o by_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a a_o three_o way_n by_o which_o satan_n bring_v many_o to_o a_o

they_o sometime_o contrary_a to_o the_o conviction_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n light_n and_o knowledge_n to_o maintain_v their_o temporal_a advantage_n and_o to_o keep_v up_o the_o principle_n of_o

be_v in_o many_o professor_n to_o see_v the_o fulfil_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o those_o prophecy_n because_o they_o be_v persuade_v that_o thereby_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v

of_o god_n go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o so_o far_o do_v this_o zeal_n hurry_v they_o that_o they_o persecute_v the_o most_o precious_a saint_n of_o jesus_n
