of_o they_o be_v unquestionable_a and_o infallible_a we_o may_v easy_o be_v convince_v from_o these_o reason_n first_o from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o they_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n of_o

need_v no_o unwritten_a verity_n no_o tradition_n no_o invention_n of_o man_n no_o canon_n of_o council_n no_o sentence_n of_o father_n much_o less_o the_o decree_n of_o pope_n to_o supply_v any_o

we_o may_v also_o learn_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v infallible_a the_o rule_n thereof_o be_v indispensable_o true_a and_o sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a

therefore_o the_o scripture_n the_o immediate_a inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o to_o be_v canvas_v up_o and_o down_o or_o any_o way_n as_o we_o please_v alter_v their_o nature_n be_v as_o unchangeable_a as_o their_o author_n therefore_o leave_v off_o reason_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n without_o dispute_v but_o five_o and_o last_o avoid_v all_o strife_n out_o of_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n our_o saviour_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o godly_a constancy_n in_o he_o his_o carriage_n be_v always_o civil_a and_o urban_n humble_a and_o candid_a quiet_a and_o peaceable_a towards_o his_o church_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o nonconformity_n and_o contention_n of_o morosity_n and_o disobedience_n that_o he_o rather_o

stand_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o wise_a man_n than_o ourselves_o let_v we_o stand_v to_o the_o constitution_n and_o action_n of_o our_o bishop_n the_o only_a lawful_a magistrate_n let_v we_o still_o retain_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n and_o member_n thereof_o that_o by_o peaceable_a live_n uniformity_n of_o conversation_n the_o honour_n of_o god_n name_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o religion_n the_o interest_n of_o his_o service_n and_o worship_n may_v be_v promote_v and_o advance_v in_o a_o word_n let_v we_o join_v with_o the_o apostle_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n without_o murmur_n and_o dispute_n that_o we_o may_v be_v blameless_a and_o pure_a the_o son_n of_o god_n without_o rebuke_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o naughty_a and_o crooked_a generation_n that_o at_o last_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o peace_n and_o obedience_n viz._n eternal_a life_n and_o glory_n through_o the_o merit_n and_o mediation_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n
