main_n and_o serious_a endeavour_n to_o obscure_v the_o same_o by_o so_o many_o variety_n of_o translation_n &_o by_o such_o a_o number_n of_o gross_a corruption_n and_o falsification_n yet_o

which_o be_v in_o question_n &_o which_o affirm_v nothing_o less_o then_o that_o which_o they_o pretend_v to_o prove_v thereby_o for_o how_o absurd_a be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o

the_o four_o point_n be_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v reject_v any_o of_o the_o passage_n which_o thou_o produce_v pretend_v the_o same_o to_o be_v apocryphal_a know_v that_o to_o prevent_v this_o

in_o so_o little_a a_o treatise_n 5._o the_o five_o point_n be_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v contend_v with_o thou_o not_o about_o the_o word_n themselves_o as_o be_v clear_a but_o about_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o they_o for_o such_o place_n i_o say_v as_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o this_o cavil_n thou_o shall_v forthwith_o have_v recourse_n unto_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n to_o wit_n unto_o the_o ever-constant_a and_o uniform_a judgement_n of_o the_o church_n and_o ancient_a father_n who_o in_o every_o age_n since_o christ_n have_v understand_v the_o point_n in_o question_n in_o that_o sense_n which_o catholic_n do_v a_o example_n whereof_o thou_o may_v lay_v down_o before_o they_o out_o of_o that_o learned_a treatise_n entitle_v the_o summary_n of_o controversy_n debate_v the_o question_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n which_o thou_o have_v do_v bid_v they_o do_v the_o like_a and_o thou_o will_v yield_v unto_o they_o a_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v never_o do_v in_o their_o defence_n so_o as_o no_o man_n of_o reason_n will_v reject_v this_o rule_n ground_v so_o clear_o in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o

first_o which_o i_o will_v fortify_v and_o prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o this_o present_a treatise_n i_o mean_v this_o rule_n and_o therefore_o in_o no_o wise_n forget_v always_o to_o
