council_n begin_v to_o be_v a_o divine_a truth_n when_o it_o be_v not_o so_o
before_o but_o as_o article_n of_o faith_n be_v take_v for_o dogma_fw-la necessario_fw-la credendum_fw-la for_o a_o divine_a truth_n necessary_a when_o know_v to_o be_v so_o to_o be_v believe_v or_o not_o oppose_v so_o a_o divine_a truth_n may_v be_v a_o article_n or_o object_n of_o my_o faith_n to_o day_n which_o be_v not_o yesterday_o so_o he_o who_o by_o what_o mean_v soever_o know_v that_o

to_o be_v believe_v not_o for_o the_o matter_n thereof_o as_o if_o the_o actual_a knowledge_n and_o faith_n thereof_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n thus_o a_o few_o point_n only_o

because_o we_o have_v a_o sufficient_a proposal_n thereof_o that_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a truth_n not_o that_o the_o error_n in_o or_o ignorance_n of_o such_o a_o point_n even_o after_o such_o

to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n as_o some_o way_n conducible_a to_o christian_a edification_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n or_o to_o some_o other_o good_a end_n therefore_o the_o duty_n she_o
