fountain_n of_o lively_a water_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o abide_v and_o stick_v sure_a to_o that_o faith_n they_o have_v receive_v by_o god_n word_n and_o that_o in_o no_o wise_a they_o shall_v turn_v from_o it_o to_o jewishnes_n or_o to_o the_o law_n to_o the_o sacrifice_n or_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n as_o to_o think_v they_o can_v be_v save_v without_o they_o when_o by_o christ_n they_o have_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n nor_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o join_v with_o christ_n any_o other_o thing_n as_o learning_n of_o philosophy_n work_v of_o the_o law_n ceremony_n tradition_n of_o man_n as_o without_o they_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v for_o christ_n be_v a_o sufficient_a saviour_n without_o all_o these_o thing_n

place_n do_v reprove_v they_o that_o say_v man_n can_v understande_v holy_a scripture_n true_o without_o human_a philosophy_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o philosophy_n be_v necessary_a and_o that_o young_a man_n bring_v up_o in_o the_o university_n must_v needs_o learn_v philosophy_n they_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o study_v divinity_n before_o they_o have_v spend_v three_o or_o four_o year_n in_o philosophy_n in_o aristotle_n or_o in_o plato_n work_v that_o by_o philosophy_n they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o divinity_n and_o so_o it_o oft_o time_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o divinity_n be_v judge_v by_o philosophy_n and_o as_o the_o heathen_a philosophier_n have_v think_v and_o judge_v of_o divinity_n so_o many_o young_a man_n judgement_n be_v and_o so_o the_o studious_a youth_n in_o university_n be_v poison_v by_o human_a philosophy_n in_o their_o first_o study_n for_o as_o it_o be_v oft_o time_n see_v that_o the_o vessel_n will_v keep_v long_o the_o

of_o these_o gentile_a author_n they_o have_v red_a in_o their_o youth_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a grace_n if_o ever_o they_o be_v bring_v from_o they_o and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a cause_n why_o so_o many_o bring_v up_o in_o gentile_a author_n have_v more_o swetenes_n and_o pleasure_n in_o gentile_a learning_n then_o in_o the_o learning_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o god_n word_n which_o they_o contemn_v and_o despise_v for_o gentile_a learning_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o most_o expedient_a for_o god_n glory_n to_o be_v spread_v abroad_o &_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o many_o and_o for_o true_a judgement_n to_o be_v have_v that_o all_o youth_n shall_v be_v verteous_o bring_v up_o after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n that_o they_o may_v have_v their_o judgement_n true_o form_v

how_o they_o shall_v take_v it_o and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o with_o what_o humbleness_n and_o mekenes_n oft_o time_n geve_v themselves_o too_o faithful_a prayer_n desire_v the_o
