mystery_n unto_o we_o there_o be_v i_o confess_v a_o distinction_n between_o faith_n and_o manner_n when_o we_o come_v to_o sort_n and_o sever_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o word_n into_o the_o kind_n of_o duty_n impose_v but_o when_o we_o consider_v they_o in_o the_o rule_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o word_n itself_o from_o which_o the_o conscience_n be_v certain_o inform_v and_o bind_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n but_o they_o be_v all_o of_o faith_n alike_o even_o as_o the_o same_o sap_n which_o in_o the_o branch_n distinct_a unto_o leaf_n and_o blossom_n be_v in_o the_o root_n but_o one_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v proper_o canonical_a unto_o manner_n but_o the_o same_o be_v first_o canonical_a unto_o faith_n for_o we_o therefore_o stand_v undoubted_o persuade_v that_o thus_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v because_o we_o first_o believe_v that_o god_n himself_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v so_o and_o have_v reveal_v it_o to_o we_o as_o his_o will_n by_o this_o it_o seem_v evident_a that_o the_o distinction_n between_o canon_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o manner_n as_o use_v by_o the_o bishop_n be_v idle_a and_o impertinent_a and_o that_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o all_o have_v be_v say_v by_o mr._n hutton_n it_o remain_v as_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o the_o service_n book_n do_v consider_v the_o apocrypha_n as_o canonical_a as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o may_v be_v infer_v from_o their_o confound_v the_o apocryphal_a with_o the_o canonical_a book_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o their_o great_a bible_n authorize_v to_o be_v read_v where_o divide_v the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n into_o legal_a historical_a sapiential_a

two_o book_n of_o maccabee_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chapter_n of_o esther_n make_v the_o book_n of_o esther_n to_o consist_v of_o 16_o chapter_n and_o then_o to_o be_v part_n of_o that_o book_n in_o the_o sapiential_a they_o place_v 5_o book_n whereof_o they_o reckon_v the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n and_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la for_o two_o call_v the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n the_o wisdom_n of_o solomon_n in_o the_o prophetical_a they_o place_v 18_o book_n of_o which_o they_o reckon_v baruch_n the_o prophet_n and_o susanna_n bell_n and_o the_o dragon_n make_v the_o same_o all_o one_o with_o

the_o book_n of_o homily_n how_o it_o divers_a time_n call_v these_o apocryphal_a book_n holy_a scripture_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a

thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o according_a to_o the_o service_n book_n and_o the_o sentiment_n of_o some_o great_a bishop_n the_o great_a bible_n and_o book_n of_o homily_n the_o apocrypha_n be_v consider_v as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o which_o truth_n abide_v in_o its_o strength_n notwithstanding_o what_o be_v argue_v from_o the_o book_n of_o article_n where_o it_o be_v sufficient_o manifest_a that_o the_o apocrypha_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o this_o do_v but_o discover_v the_o contradiction_n there_o be_v between_o the_o book_n of_o article_n and_o the_o service_n book_n etc._n etc._n whereby_o the_o nonconformist_n be_v but_o supply_v with_o a_o unanswerable_a argument_n against_o subscription_n which_o i_o will_v give_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o devonshire_n minister_n viz._n that_o to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o service_n book_n be_v contrary_a to_o our_o subscription_n to_o the_o book_n of_o article_n the_o 6_o article_n whereof_o under_o the_o name_n of_o holy_a scripture_n understand_v only_o the_o canonical_a book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n there_o mention_v whereof_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la

namely_o that_o the_o apochripha_n book_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v read_v as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o as_o the_o canon_n and_o rule_n of_o manner_n i_o will_v proceed_v to_o

one_o of_o his_o best_a reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o these_o book_n be_v divine_a and_o canonical_a because_o they_o be_v now_o and_o have_v be_v of_o old_a read_v by_o the_o
