command_v in_o case_n of_o religion_n to_o depend_v on_o it_o alone_o but_o also_o by_o the_o nature_n &_o definition_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n both_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v ground_v on_o god_n word_n also_o by_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o prophetical_a &_o apostolical_a doctrine_n and_o by_o the_o diverse_a calling_n of_o prophet_n apostle_n &_o other_o doctor_n &_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n 3._o of_o the_o certainty_n and_o authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n 1._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o only_o this_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n &_o apostle_n be_v deliver_v by_o god_n himself_o &_o do_v not_o only_o nor_o principal_o rely_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o most_o especial_o upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n &_o the_o scripture_n itself_o 2._o the_o first_o and_o principal_a argument_n whereby_o this_o authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n be_v establish_v among_o we_o be_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a 3._o this_o witness_n as_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o godly_a so_o it_o only_o cause_v we_o in_o true_a

or_o forceable_o persuade_v we_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n but_o except_o we_o have_v also_o this_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o can_v never_o move_v our_o mind_n to_o embrace_v and_o give_v credit_n to_o they_o 4._o the_o second_o argument_n be_v because_o this_o doctrine_n only_o show_v man_n the_o cause_n of_o evil_a &_o deliverrance_n from_o sin_n &_o death_n agree_v with_o the_o perfect_a justice_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o also_o satisfy_v our_o conscience_n 5_o the_o three_o because_o only_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n retain_v god_n law_n entire_a &_o pure_a but_o all_o other_o religion_n frame_n unto_o themselves_o god_n and_o their_o worship_n without_o any_o authority_n from_o god_n and_o approve_v many_o

doctrine_n 13_o the_o eleven_o the_o constancy_n of_o martyr_n and_o confessor_n tertullian_n the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o church_n the_o martyr_n of_o the_o church_n differ_v from_o othersâ—_n in_o multitude_n 2_o in_o alacrity_n &_o cheerfulness_n in_o undergo_n danger_n &_o death_n itself_o 3_o the_o defender_n of_o wicked_a doctrine_n suffer_v when_o they_o be_v convict_v of_o error_n but_o the_o godly_a be_v by_o tyrannical_a force_n carry_v away_o to_o punishment_n 14_o the_o twelve_o their_o holiness_n of_o life_n by_o who_o it_o be_v deliver_v and_o spread_v abroad_o far_o exceed_v the_o virtue_n of_o heathen_a man_n and_o such_o as_o follow_v other_o religion_n 15_o see_v therefore_o this_o only_a doctrine_n of_o religion_n be_v true_a and_o divine_a no_o opinion_n can_v bind_v our_o conscience_n to_o belief_n or_o obedience_n which_o be_v not_o establish_v by_o testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n right_o understand_v but_o no_o opinion_n
