for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o common_a reason_n in_o they_o and_o for_o their_o sin_v against_o reason_n he_o must_v be_v answerable_a to_o god_n how_o do_v one_o of_o the_o doctor_n parishioner_n find_v his_o whole_a religion_n in_o scripture_n thus_o the_o doctor_n will_v bid_v he_o read_v the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o 6._o chap._n to_o the_o roman_n or_o he_o will_v read_v the_o word_n to_o he_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n here_o say_v he_o the_o papist_n be_v plain_o confute_v who_o say_v that_o god_n reward_v our_o good_a work_n with_o heaven_n he_o will_v tell_v he_o again_o that_o the_o papist_n hold_v that_o our_o lord_n body_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n how_o shall_v they_o be_v confute_v christ_n indeed_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n what_o then_o this_o must_v be_v understand_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v this_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o my_o body_n then_o plain_a scripture_n interpret_v by_o the_o doctor_n be_v against_o they_o again_o look_v out_o the_o first_o chapter_n to_o titus_n you_o will_v find_v that_o those_o who_o be_v call_v elder_n or_o presbyter_n in_o the_o five_o verse_n be_v call_v bishop_n in_o the_o seven_o here_o our_o antichristian_a prelate_n be_v plain_o confute_v who_o exalt_v themselves_o above_o elder_n etc._n etc._n 155._o but_o one_o point_v there_o be_v of_o main_a importance_n to_o these_o who_o will_v find_v all_o thing_n in_o scripture_n which_o be_v a_o proof_n that_o these_o book_n which_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o call_v scripture_n be_v the_o same_o which_o be_v ancient_o write_v by_o man_n inspire_v by_o god_n that_o they_o have_v not_o be_v corrupt_v and_o that_o they_o be_v right_o interpret_v none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n they_o can_v find_v in_o scripture_n what_o remedy_n therefore_o for_o this_o none_o in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o doctor_n own_o authority_n he_o will_v tell_v they_o perhaps_o that_o the_o universal_a
