then_o to_o declare_v all_o catholic_n ever_o own_v what_o he_o teach_v since_o i_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o question_n whether_o our_o author_n be_v of_o that_o number_n and_o that_o 1._o because_o all_o true_a catholic_n ever_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o incarnation_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o be_v thing_n which_o concern_v faith_n and_o as_o such_o to_o be_v plain_o contain_v in_o scripture_n but_o our_o author_n on_o the_o contrary_a say_v these_o be_v not_o plain_o contain_v in_o scripture_n and_o then_o either_o according_a to_o st._n austin_n they_o shall_v not_o concern_v faith_n or_o our_o author_n be_v none_o of_o those_o catholic_n that_o own_v what_o st._n austin_n teach_v 2._o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o whatever_a other_o think_v i_o question_v not_o but_o the_o prover_n hold_v to_o be_v catholic_n own_v not_o what_o st._n austin_n teach_v for_o she_o affirm_v there_o be_v a_o word_n unwritten_a as_o well_o

that_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o write_a but_o here_o our_o author_n have_v prevent_v i_o for_o he_o will_v prove_v this_o also_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o st._n austin_n and_o both_o consistent_a as_o thus_o all_o catholic_n own_o what_o st._n augustin_n teach_v that_o all_o thing_n which_o concern_v faith_n and_o manner_n be_v plain_o contain_v in_o scripture_n for_o as_o the_o

our_o author_n suppose_v he_o turn_v not_o to_o the_o place_n in_o that_o father_n when_o beside_o this_o impertinence_n he_o charge_v upon_o that_o learned_a writer_n he_o read_v we_o have_v no_o

though_o we_o but_o if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v teach_v beside_o what_o you_o have_v receive_v in_o the_o prophetical_a or_o evangelical_n write_n let_v he_o be_v accurse_v proof_n but_o the_o case_n in_o this_o first_o question_n as_o it_o appear_v state_v by_o the_o addresser_n be_v whether_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v immediate_o and_o express_o contain`d_v
