1.20_o that_o no_o pprophecy_n of_o scripture_n be_v of_o any_o private_a interpretation_n wherefore_o private_a man_n which_o be_v unskilled_a in_o the_o language_n and_o science_n be_v not_o to_o

thereof_o as_o they_o read_v they_o be_v better_a not_o read_v at_o all_o and_o whosoever_o dare_v maintain_v this_o opinion_n be_v not_o only_o guilty_a of_o slander_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n but_o do_v also_o submit_v to_o the_o pope_n who_o subtlety_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o seal_v up_o by_o his_o chaplain_n and_o minister_n what_o christ_n have_v unseal_v and_o

as_o a_o golden_a chain_n one_o in_o and_o with_o another_o as_o be_v clear_a by_o 2_o tim._n 3.16_o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n of_o god_n

that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n can_v know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n any_o more_o than_o one_o man_n can_v know_v what_o be_v the_o heart_n or_o mind_n of_o another_o now_o as_o a_o man_n may_v by_o chance_n conjecture_n or_o guess_v what_o be_v the_o mind_n or_o thought_n of_o another_o man_n as_o oftentimes_o man_n do_v even_o so_o by_o chance_n
