this_o sentence_n be_v true_o &_o without_o subtle_a allegation_n deliver_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n peradventure_o demosthenes_n will_v not_o think_v of_o a_o person_n if_o he_o shall_v read_v

in_o christ_n for_o he_o know_v that_o touch_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n we_o must_v believe_v the_o heavenly_a voice_n utter_v and_o that_o it_o be_v great_a wickedness_n too_o invent_v opinion_n

witness_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o i_o speak_v as_o touch_v doctrine_n and_o not_o man_n tradition_n for_o they_o will_v have_v doctrine_n too_o be_v firm_a and_o perpetual_a but_o man_n ordinance_n they_o will_v not_o have_v to_o be_v perpetual_a and_o immutable_a neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n err_v in_o doctrine_n therefore_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o retain_v those_o testimony_n whereas_o the_o most_o ancient_a writer_n do_v allege_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o origen_n tertullian_n irenaeus_n gregory_n neocaesariens_n trinity_n alexander_n bishop_n of_o alexandria_n and_o many_o other_o do_v cyte_v their_o testimony_n touch_v the_o trinity_n who_o when_o they_o do_v witness_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v receive_v of_o the_o apostle_n do_v

be_v judge_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o thing_n the_o rule_n of_o doctrine_n institute_v always_o admonish_v example_n augustine_n touch_v original_a sin_n more_o sharp_o contend_v writer_n

they_o believe_v the_o article_n not_o for_o augastyne_n but_o for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o we_o see_v that_o the_o writer_n name_v have_v hold_v the_o same_o opinion_n although_o they_o have_v not_o handle_v this_o article_n so_o copious_o or_o so_o plain_o a_o other_o peter_n bishop_n of_o alexandria_n contend_v against_o meletius_n affirm_v that_o such_o as_o slide_v away_o from_o the_o

not_o for_o this_o bishop_n but_o because_o we_o see_v this_o sentence_n be_v express_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o hereunto_o testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n do_v condescend_v also_o

the_o article_n not_o for_o the_o synod_n or_o council_n but_o because_o we_o see_v it_o so_o express_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v without_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o so_o well_o to_o be_v embrace_v as_o the_o council_n of_o nicene_n institute_v canon_n of_o repentance_n which_o be_v man_n tradition_n beside_o the_o scripture_n and_o have_v be_v the_o seed_n
