the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v obscure_a and_o doubtful_a which_o fall_v out_o often_o as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o can_v so_o plain_o pronounce_v sentence_n that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o

the_o scripture_n in_o one_o place_n be_v obscure_a yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o some_o other_o place_n it_o be_v very_a plain_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n by_o that_o place_n which_o be_v

the_o plainness_n of_o the_o word_n depend_v upon_o the_o knowledge_n of_o grammar_n but_o the_o sense_n upon_o the_o intention_n and_o counsel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o doubtless_o
