as_o well_o as_o they_o to_o prefer_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n before_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v sacrilegious_a madness_n and_o although_o none_o of_o god_n ten_o proper_a name_n in_o

be_v answer_v he_o do_v take_v it_o away_o but_o he_o will_v not_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o he_o deal_v with_o saul_n so_o than_o this_o tell_v we_o solomon_n be_v a_o saint_n in_o heaven_n which_o be_v solomon_n 1._o solomon_n the_o penner_n of_o it_o but_o a_o wise_a than_o solomon_n indite_v it_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v choice_n of_o his_o instrument_n according_a to_o the_o use_n he_o have_v to_o put_v they_o to_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o estate_n of_o his_o church_n by_o the_o choice_a treasure_n of_o nature_n he_o use_v solomon_n spirit_n which_o 30._o be_v as_o large_a as_o

throughout_o the_o present_a and_o all_o after_o age_n this_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o as_o it_o be_v say_v before_o 1_o that_o solomon_n be_v a_o canonize_a saint_n else_o he_o have_v not_o be_v a_o penman_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n canonize_v not_o by_o peter_n pretend_a successor_n who_o have_v shameful_o err_v in_o this_o kind_n but_o by_o 21._o peter_n himself_o yea_o by_o a_o great_a
