to_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o tully_n that_o thing_n perspicuous_a and_o clear_a be_v much_o obscure_v by_o much_o argue_v i_o hope_v the_o papist_n for_o shame_n will_v give_v over_o fool_v against_o we_o that_o we_o run_v after_o private_a spirit_n and_o revelation_n since_o aquinas_n the_o flower_n of_o the_o papist_n speak_v out_o as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v as_o touch_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o application_n of_o all_o i_o have_v make_v a_o long_a and_o tedious_a discourse_n about_o the_o original_n and_o translation_n because_o i_o find_v by_o my_o self_n that_o thing_n let_v fall_v in_o print_n by_o learned_a man_n and_o great_a reformer_n as_o touch_v the_o original_n that_o none_o can_v say_v this_o be_v the_o hebrew_n that_o the_o greek_a but_o because_o

to_o trip_v do_v so_o say_v that_o the_o original_n transcribe_v into_o many_o copy_n may_v err_v and_o mistake_v and_o for_o the_o translation_n that_o there_o be_v flaw_n in_o they_o too_o since_o the_o transcriber_n and_o translator_n be_v no_o prophet_n but_o man_n though_o not_o will_v perhaps_o yet_o subject_a to_o speak_v and_o write_v beside_o the_o matter_n that_o translation_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o our_o rule_n these_o and_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o i_o doubt_v not_o do_v stagger_v the_o thought_n of_o weak_a and_o of_o strong_a christian_n too_o and_o drive_v a_o many_o towards_o atheism_n and_o now_o say_v a_o sick_a soul_n what_o shall_v a_o poor_a feeble-hearted_a christian_n do_v my_o counsel_n be_v that_o when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o be_v certain_a without_o actual_a doubt_n by_o reason_n argument_n consent_n of_o time_n and_o of_o the_o church_n that_o our_o bible_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v in_o all_o humility_n and_o sincerity_n apply_v himself_o to_o read_v it_o to_o hear_v it_o read_v to_o hear_v it_o preach_v and_o he_o may_v promise_v to_o himself_o that_o by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v infuse_v and_o inspire_v divine_a and_o save_a faith_n into_o his_o soul_n and_o free_v he_o not_o only_o from_o all_o actual_a but_o possible_o doubt_v that_o the_o bible_n translate_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o the_o translation_n than_o the_o original_n for_o what_o ever_o be_v the_o instrument_n to_o convert_v the_o soul_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n some_o be_v firm_a that_o god_n never_o work_v a_o miracle_n but_o to_o confirm_v truth_n this_o be_v past_a question_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v never_o work_v this_o miracle_n to_o convert_v the_o soul_n but_o by_o god_n word_n so_o say_v now_o i_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o convert_v my_o soul_n so_o psal._n 19_o 7_o the_o law_n of_o the_o 7._o lord_n be_v perfect_a convert_v the_o soul_n by_o this_o than_o i_o know_v that_o it_o be_v without_o dispute_v the_o perfect_a law_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o it_o do_v not_o only_o evince_v and_o convince_v i_o but_o convert_v my_o soul_n st_n austin_n say_v that_o he_o be_v convert_v by_o read_v the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o thirteen_o to_o the_o roman_n and_o that_o do_v prove_v to_o austin_n that_o it_o be_v the_o perfect_a law_n and_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v story_v that_o cyprian_n be_v convert_v by_o read_v the_o prophet_n ionas_n and_o junius_n in_o his_o life_n write_v by_o himself_o 27_o say_v that_o he_o be_v convert_v by_o read_v the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o john_n for_o austin_n and_o cyprian_n i_o think_v neither_o of_o they_o have_v hebr._n much_o skill_n in_o the_o original_n no_o nor_o junius_n neither_o at_o that_o time_n wherefore_o it_o be_v plain_a enough_o that_o they_o be_v convert_v by_o read_v translation_n when_o then_o a_o man_n do_v find_v that_o by_o read_v or_o hear_v translation_n read_v or_o preach_v upon_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o warm_v thy_o heart_n to_o turn_v and_o change_v thy_o poor_a soul_n to_o convert_v thou_o into_o a_o new_a creature_n go_v thy_o way_n doubt_v nothing_o its_o a_o argument_n past_o answer_n that_o the_o bible_n even_o as_o translate_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n go_v on_o look_v on_o it_o as_o god_n word_n read_v on_o still_o be_v diligent_a to_o hear_v it_o with_o the_o best_a ear_n thou_o have_v and_o thou_o

we_o lie_v all_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n to_o put_v light_n into_o our_o mind_n and_o then_o to_o work_v in_o we_o a_o firm_a assent_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v indeed_o and_o truth_n the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n and_o none_o of_o this_o be_v do_v otherwise_o then_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o and_o the_o spirit_n join_v with_o the_o

the_o soul_n make_v the_o most_o of_o that_o which_o some_o call_v universal_a tradition_n it_o can_v bring_v we_o no_o far_o than_o a_o human_a belief_n little_o better_o be_v it_o then_o that_o which_o the_o papist_n call_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n we_o grant_v needful_a and_o useful_a but_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n we_o
