can_v be_v say_v to_o follow_v all_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o recommend_v tradition_n and_o you_o reject_v it_o when_o they_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o firmament_n of_o truth_n and_o you_o make_v her_o apostatical_a i_o can_v instance_n in_o many_o particular_n how_o counter_a you_o run_v to_o the_o scripture_n you_o so_o much_o pretend_v to_o but_o i_o shall_v wave_v they_o and_o only_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v a_o unwarrantable_a way_n to_o fall_v off_o from_o the_o church_n and_o then_o appeal_v to_o that_o
