whereas_o you_o bid_v i_o consult_v my_o own_o reason_n touch_v the_o term_n of_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a call_n i_o answer_v my_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o scripture_n nor_o judge_v

the_o scripture_n know_v two_o way_n of_o entrance_n into_o the_o sheep-fold_n do_v that_o testify_v of_o any_o more_o than_o one_o way_n and_o that_o the_o same_o that_o be_v the_o way_n be_v also_o the_o door_n even_o jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o although_o you_o passionate_o deny_v that_o distinction_n to_o be_v of_o your_o own_o create_v but_o say_v that_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v of_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n have_v no_o where_o make_v mention_v thereof_o throughout_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o you_o shall_v be_v charge_v as_o the_o creator_n of_o it_o and_o if_o to_o use_v your_o own_o language_n you_o know_v and_o care_v what_o you_o say_v you_o will_v not_o proceed_v in_o your_o wont_a boldness_n to_o say_v that_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v of_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n when_o as_o it_o be_v never_o use_v among_o any_o of_o the_o church_n mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n neither_o be_v the_o word_n so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v find_v through_o all_o the_o writing_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o apostle_n but_o it_o do_v behoove_v those_o that_o dare_v not_o

they_o enter_v not_o in_o by_o the_o one_o true_a door_n yet_o they_o may_v save_v themselves_o from_o the_o sentence_n of_o thief_n and_o robber_n by_o erect_v a_o backdoor_n which_o the_o
