that_o it_o can_v be_v but_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n that_o we_o receive_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o second_o that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o church_n that_o we_o learn_v tradition_n and_o by_o tradition_n the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o three_o that_o it_o be_v the_o church_n and_o her_o pastor_n assemble_v which_o shall_v determine_v controversy_n that_o divide_v the_o faithful_a and_o that_o when_o once_o they_o have_v resolve_v any_o matter_n we_o ought_v to_o submit_v unto_o their_o decision_n without_o examine_v anew_o that_o which_o they_o have_v resolve_v the_o four_o and_o last_o that_o this_o authority_n be_v so_o necessary_a that_o after_o have_v deny_v it_o we_o have_v be_v force_v to_o establish_v it_o among_o we_o by_o our_o discipline_n by_o the_o act_n of_o our_o synod_n and_o by_o our_o practice_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o faith_n itself_o as_o to_o the_o first_o we_o agree_v with_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n that_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v the_o guardian_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o as_o she_o have_v receive_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n from_o the_o jewish_a church_n so_o it_o be_v from_o the_o chirstian_a church_n that_o the_o faithful_a receive_v all_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o of_o the_o old_a as_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o even_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o lawful_a reason_n which_o at_o first_o make_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o revelation_n from_o heaven_n but_o we_o do_v deny_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v mere_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o that_o it_o be_v principal_o by_o her_o authority_n that_o we_o receive_v the_o scripture_n as_o the_o divine_a word_n the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o testimony_n which_o itself_o give_v of_o its_o divinity_n and_o of_o the_o efficacious_a power_n which_o it_o have_v upon_o heart_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v indeed_o somewhat_o injurious_a to_o this_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o its_o efficacy_n and_o somewhat_o contradictory_n when_o it_o be_v contend_v that_o a_o matter_n divine_a shall_v not_o be_v receive_v but_o by_o dependence_n upon_o a_o humane_a authority_n it_o be_v as_o if_o one_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v yet_o at_o this_o day_n only_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n that_o christian_n have_v receive_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n because_o it_o be_v by_o her_o hand_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v they_o though_o upon_o the_o whole_a the_o authority_n of_o this_o peopel_n choose_v of_o god_n may_v be_v a_o reasonable_a ground_n of_o the_o

before_o our_o eye_n and_o not_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o those_o who_o propose_v it_o to_o we_o by_o great_a reason_n heavenly_a truth_n like_o the_o sun_n manifest_v themselves_o by_o their_o proper_a splendour_n it_o be_v a_o common_a speech_n upon_o this_o subject_n that_o a_o man_n asleep_a be_v tell_v the_o sun_n be_v up_o present_o believe_v it_o be_v day_n upon_o what_o be_v tell_v
