manifest_v for_o you_o i_o shall_v neither_o believe_v catholic_o nor_o you_o here_o i_o will_v stop_v for_o true_o after_o so_o much_o say_v of_o this_o subject_a and_o so_o long_a experience_n of_o

when_o he_o talk_v of_o clear_a evidence_n of_o scripture_n against_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n notorious_o deviate_a from_o it_o under_o the_o face_n he_o set_v on_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o he_o have_v the_o art_n to_o make_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n bear_v a_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o or_o friend_n invention_n no_o great_a matter_n to_o brag_v on_o alas_o no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o for_o learning_n 16_o for_o even_o the_o unlearned_a he_o know_v have_v wit_n enough_o to_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o

when_o we_o will_v not_o embrace_v that_o mean_v be_v not_o to_o mince_v his_o word_n rash_a pride_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o s._n austin_n but_o to_o go_v on_o the_o answerer_n know_v very_o well_o
