doctor_n say_v they_o and_o believe_v the_o catholyke_a church_n which_o have_v continue_v from_o christ_n time_n hitherto_o we_o can_v show_v say_v they_o by_o ancient_a writer_n from_o time_n to_o

that_o their_o writing_n must_v be_v try_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o that_o allow_v they_o not_o they_o will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a that_o we_o shall_v believe_v they_o this_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n y_o it_o they_o will_v have_v we_o geve_v such_o credit_n to_o the_o doctor_n which_o thing_n the_o doctor_n themselves_o forbid_v but_o they_o have_v always_o this_o sayeinge_n of_o augustine_n in_o their_o mouth_n i_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n except_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n do_v move_v i_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v catch_v this_o in_o their_o sermon_n they_o triumph_v lo_o say_v they_o what_o authorite_n do_v this_o great_a doctor_n attribute_v to_o y_fw-fr e_o church_n in_o so_o much_o that_o y_z e_z gospel_n be_v and_o must_v

these_o man_n may_v be_v answer_v out_o of_o augustine_n own_o word_n before_o rehearse_v for_o he_o will_v geve_v no_o such_o credit_n to_o any_o man_n writtinge_n what_o so_o ever_o he_o be_v as_o

therefore_o if_o they_o will_v have_v i_o believe_v augustine_n word_n they_o must_v prove_v they_o true_a bye_n the_o scripture_n or_o else_o by_o some_o other_o probable_a and_o sure_a reason_n that_o dissent_v not_o from_o the_o truth_n else_o may_v not_o i_o believe_v austin_n word_n for_o this_o he_o counsel_v himself_o but_o admytte_a austin_n word_n to_o be_v true_a without_o any_o
