shall_v read_v the_o scripture_n but_o we_o exhort_v man_n thereunto_o second_o they_o persuade_v you_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v obscure_a and_o ambiguous_a but_o we_o say_v all_o thing_n

church_n and_o that_o you_o ought_v to_o receive_v it_o because_o the_o church_n have_v ordain_v it_o five_o when_o we_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n we_o give_v not_o out_o our_o interpretation_n for_o law_n as_o do_v the_o roman_a church_n nor_o call_v ourselves_o judge_n or_o infallible_a interpreter_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n final_o when_o we_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n we_o
