for_o he_o that_o have_v good_a understanding_n be_v able_a well_o to_o teach_v and_o this_o be_v a_o commendation_n of_o the_o author_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o teach_v very_o well_o and_o plain_o in_o so_o much_o that_o by_o his_o book_n a_o man_n may_v understand_v what_o to_o think_v what_o to_o take_v in_o hand_n what_o to_o do_v or_o to_o leave_v undo_v the_o word_n of_o the_o wise_n be_v like_o goad_n and_o like_a nail_n fasten_v by_o the_o master_n of_o the_o assembly_n and_o give_v by_o one_o pastor_n church_n here_o he_o exhort_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o lead_v about_o with_o diverse_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o have_v a_o notable_a master_n and_o teacher_n beware_v therefore_o of_o new_a teacher_n for_o the_o word_n of_o this_o master_n be_v goad_n and_o nail_n that_o be_v they_o be_v plant_v and_o set_v fast_o they_o be_v fasten_v such_o be_v the_o word_n of_o david_n and_o of_o the_o prophet_n the_o word_n of_o the_o inconstant_a waver_a man_n be_v as_o scum_n upon_o the_o water_n and_o of_o this_o place_n i_o conjecture_v there_o be_v certain_a book_n and_o history_n and_o to_o digest_v they_o into_o certain_a annalle_n and_o chronicle_n of_o the_o hebrew_n and_o to_o compact_a all_o other_o book_n in_o order_n thereby_o to_o purchase_v authority_n unto_o the_o book_n and_o to_o ratify_v and_o allow_v those_o that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v read_v god._n so_o there_o be_v many_o author_n that_o have_v write_v bible_n but_o of_o they_o all_o those_o only_o be_v receive_v and_o allow_v which_o at_o this_o day_n we_o call_v the_o bible_n this_o it_o be_v therefore_o that_o he_o will_v say_v take_v heed_n my_o son_n that_o thou_o stick_v fast_o to_o those_o book_n that_o be_v receive_v as_o for_o other_o set_v they_o at_o naught_o because_o these_o wise_a man_n have_v set_v they_o at_o naught_o for_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o one_o good_a book_n be_v set_v forth_o ten_o other_o evil_a be_v set_v forth_o again_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o our_o day_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o wise_n be_v firm_a &_o true_a which_o a_o man_n may_v take_v hold_v on_o for_o they_o be_v nail_n fasten_v they_o have_v their_o authority_n of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o congregation_n other_o book_n be_v not_o like_o they_o but_o be_v give_v by_o one_o pastor_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o king_n be_v pastor_n church_n have_v appoint_v wiseman_n to_o peruse_v and_o allow_v book_n these_o man_n in_o this_o book_n have_v acknowledge_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v have_v of_o the_o people_n thus_o be_v the_o gospel_n receive_v and_o allow_v of_o the_o father_n that_o be_v the_o father_n acknowledge_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v in_o they_o now_o we_o must_v not_o hereof_o infer_v therefore_o the_o church_n or_o father_n be_v above_o the_o gospel_n truth_n as_o it_o follow_v not_o i_o know_v god_n to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n and_o his_o word_n ergo_fw-la i_o be_o above_o god_n and_o his_o word_n as_o he_o be_v not_o above_o the_o prince_n that_o acknowledge_v the_o prince_n nor_o above_o his_o father_n that_o acknowledge_v his_o father_n even_o so_o in_o this_o these_o man_n teach_v not_o this_o pastor_n but_o receive_v of_o our_o pastor_n so_o i_o make_v a_o difference_n among_o book_n and_o say_v this_o epistle_n be_v
