we_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o doctrine_n themselves_o right_o explain_v but_o of_o the_o word_n wherein_o they_o be_v set_v forth_o for_o the_o word_n which_o shall_v be_v clear_a be_v ambiguous_a be_v capable_a of_o more_o sense_n than_o one_o and_o so_o may_v be_v and_o be_v wrest_v to_o patronize_v error_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v reform_v by_o such_o a_o orthodox_n explanation_n as_o may_v distinct_o and_o positive_o express_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o leave_v so_o homonymous_a and_o equivocal_a as_o to_o countenance_v those_o error_n which_o we_o

complete_a before_o subscription_n to_o those_o few_o as_o if_o they_o be_v all_o which_o our_o church_n will_v own_v here_o we_o say_v again_o that_o a_o necessary_a addition_n be_v proper_o a_o reformation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v defective_a to_o make_v it_o perfect_a 5._o whereas_o you_o struggle_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o 39_o article_n do_v include_v many_o if_o not_o all_o of_o those_o doctrine_n which_o we_o hold_v needful_a to_o be_v add_v we_o admit_v that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v touch_v upon_o by_o name_n but_o not_o explain_v as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n require_v and_o as_o those_o point_n be_v which_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n if_o then_o the_o name_v they_o on_o the_o by_o be_v enough_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o more_o then_o the_o bare_a name_n of_o the_o title_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n have_v be_v sufficient_a without_o the_o body_n of_o the_o article_n themselves_o or_o else_o those_o other_o doctrine_n which_o be_v but_o name_v aught_o to_o be_v explain_v as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o or_o no_o subscription_n to_o be_v urge_v but_o only_o to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n themselves_o which_o be_v infallible_a and_o contain_v all_o doctrine_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o what_o purpose_n then_o be_v that_o assertion_n that_o the_o creed_n be_v mention_v in_o the_o article_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o add_v more_o article_n because_o they_o be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o creed_n or_o name_v in_o the_o 39_o article_n 6._o as_o for_o your_o many_o quibble_n and_o
