what_o shall_v we_o do_v of_o these_o two_o opinion_n to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a one_o for_o if_o every_o person_n or_o party_n be_v allow_v such_o a_o latitude_n as_o to_o interpret_v thing_n

which_o be_v false_a he_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o touchstone_n so_o must_v we_o in_o this_o case_n between_o they_o and_o we_o be_v a_o difference_n the_o party_n must_v not_o be_v the_o judge_n it_o be_v not_o just_a they_o shall_v be_v judge_n in_o their_o own_o cause_n nor_o we_o in_o we_o then_o we_o must_v agree_v about_o a_o judge_n such_o as_o be_v impartial_a and_o infallible_a and_o none_o but_o god_n be_v such_o now_o god_n do_v not_o immediate_o speak_v from_o heaven_n for_o he_o do_v it_o in_o his_o word_n that_o be_v his_o will_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v our_o law_n and_o
