prove_v that_o it_o be_v write_v for_o all_o man_n answ_n three_o way_n beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n first_o because_o the_o lord_n that_o write_v it_o be_v lord_n over_o all_o perfect_a in_o wisdom_n second_o because_o this_o write_a word_n be_v god_n reveal_v will_n three_o because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o salvation_n for_o all_o man_n and_o this_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o it_o we_o will_v manifest_v this_o first_o because_o it_o be_v god_n word_n and_o god_n be_v over_o all_o time_n over_o all_o place_n and_o over_o all_o person_n as_o well_o successor_n as_o predecessor_n as_o well_o they_o that_o go_v before_o as_o they_o that_o follow_v after_o therefore_o the_o word_n belong_v to_o all_o we_o have_v a_o proverb_n new_a lord_n new_a law_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o here_o god_n do_v keep_v always_o one_o law_n king_n that_o have_v their_o several_a kingdom_n have_v all_o several_a law_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o can_v make_v law_n without_o their_o subject_n and_o among_o they_o one_o think_v this_o fit_a another_o think_v that_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o absolute_a king_n that_o make_v law_n without_o man_n for_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o all_o that_o therein_o be_v psal_n 24.1_o i_o add_v to_o this_o that_o he_o be_v perfect_a in_o wisdom_n man_n when_o they_o have_v make_v law_n they_o repeal_v they_o again_o because_o they_o be_v imperfect_a in_o wisdom_n and_o can_v foresee_v what_o will_v be_v convenient_a for_o after_o time_n but_o god_n be_v perfect_a in_o wisdom_n therefore_o his_o law_n be_v always_o the_o same_o second_o because_o it_o be_v god_n reveal_v will_n the_o rule_n of_o justice_n by_o which_o thing_n be_v make_v good_a or_o evil_a and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o universal_a law_n his_o will_n be_v over_o all_o his_o word_n and_o himself_o have_v the_o same_o extent_n without_o any_o restraint_n whatsoever_o three_o because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o word_n the_o word_n bring_v salvation_n to_o all_o man_n of_o all_o time_n and_o of_o all_o condition_n never_o have_v any_o man_n any_o way_n but_o one_o and_o that_o be_v by_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n only_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n all_o that_o will_v be_v save_v by_o the_o law_n must_v do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n themselves_o by_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n all_o that_o will_v be_v save_v by_o the_o gospel_n must_v apply_v by_o faith_n the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n by_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n to_o salvation_n he_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o every_o man_n that_o will_v be_v save_v so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o admirable_a conclusion_n that_o man_n must_v be_v save_v by_o mercy_n and_o justice_n and_o for_o this_o the_o word_n be_v write_v for_o all_o man_n and_o for_o all_o age_n use_v 1_o if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o all_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o language_n though_o it_o be_v write_v in_o another_o

the_o word_n they_o cry_v out_o of_o it_o but_o if_o god_n write_v it_o as_o well_o for_o the_o unlearned_a as_o for_o the_o learned_a why_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v it_o when_o god_n first_o

it_o in_o a_o strange_a language_n but_o god_n in_o his_o wisdom_n write_v it_o not_o in_o a_o strange_a language_n but_o in_o such_o a_o one_o as_o all_o may_v read_v nay_o more_o than_o this_o the_o
