to_o all_o good_a yea_o dead_a &_o rot_a in_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o do_v we_o not_o to_o he_o so_o much_o dishonour_n as_o to_o make_v ourselves_o partner_n with_o he_o to_o who_o

it_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o add_v or_o diminish_v to_o bind_v therewith_o man_n conscience_n touchinge_v the_o third_o point_n to_o wit_n in_o what_o respect_n they_o be_v good_a our_o belief_n be_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o we_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v call_v good_a for_o that_o they_o issue_n from_o so_o good_a a_o spring_n and_o yet_o if_o god_n shall_v examine_v they_o rigorous_o there_o will_v be_v ●ounde_v matter_n enough_o and_o enough_o ●o_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o they_o we_o say_v further_o that_o
