case_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v lay_v down_o for_o a_o sure_a rule_n that_o if_o we_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o divine_a oracle_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n there_o be_v nothing_o whereto_o we_o may_v safe_o trust_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v liable_a either_o to_o fraud_n or_o error_n god_n testimony_n be_v only_o sure_a they_o only_o be_v of_o that_o worth_n that_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o man_n may_v rest_v upon_o they_o and_o quiet_a itself_o and_o doubtless_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o cuntroversy_n about_o any_o point_n of_o religion_n as_o that_o some_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v a_o point_n so_o necessary_a to_o be_v resolve_v about_o and_o to_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o as_o that_o he_o which_o shall_v not_o understand_v and_o close_v with_o it_o can_v be_v save_v possible_o other_o though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n for_o the_o point_n itself_o shall_v yet_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v of_o such_o weight_n and_o rather_o conceive_v that_o such_o as_o judge_v amiss_o thereabouts_o may_v attain_v salvation_n and_o ought_v notwithstanding_o to_o be_v repute_v member_n of_o the_o church_n in_o case_n i_o say_v such_o a_o controversy_n arise_v when_o both_o side_n can_v be_v say_v to_o judge_n according_a to_o truth_n the_o one_o or_o other_o must_v of_o necessity_n err_v wherefore_o to_o be_v certain_o inform_v which_o part_n think_v aright_o will_v be_v to_o know_v some_o wat_fw-mi even_o as_o to_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n and_o doubt_v herein_o will_v be_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o somewhat_o whence_o it_o must_v be_v conclude_v that_o we_o can_v come_v to_o certain_a knowledge_n in_o this_o point_n unless_o there_o be_v some_o word_n of_o god_n extant_a to_o guide_v we_o now_o we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o mark_v in_o this_o place_n that_o a_o point_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o judgement_n which_o be_v make_v concern_v the_o weight_n and_o consequence_n of_o that_o point_n be_v very_o different_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o say_v a_o christian_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v circumcise_a another_o thing_n to_o say_v if_o you_o be_v circumcise_a christ_n shall_v profit_v you_o nothing_o for_o he_o which_o have_v hear_v how_o that_o a_o christian_n must_v not_o be_v circumcise_a may_v yet_o think_v that_o though_o a_o christian_n shall_v not_o be_v circumcise_a yet_o if_o a_o man_n judge_n that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v circumcise_a it_o be_v not_o much_o material_a but_o have_v hear_v that_o other_o word_n if_o you_o be_v circumcise_a christ_n shall_v profit_v you_o nothing_o he_o will_v now_o understand_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v of_o fargreat_a importance_n and_o inasmuch_o as_o a_o doctrine_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o judgement_n and_o estimation_n of_o the_o weight_n of_o that_o doctrine_n be_v another_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o the_o question_n concern_v any_o tenet_n whether_o or_o no_o it_o be_v a_o point_n which_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v know_v as_o for_o example_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o swear_v before_o the_o judge_n it_o will_v be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o a_o man_n to_o bring_v many_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o a_o oath_n in_o point_n of_o judicature_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v refuse_v for_o it_o will_v be_v say_v by_o one_o or_o other_o that_o i_o grant_v neither_o do_v i_o any_o way_n make_v scruple_n thereof_o but_o i_o will_v be_v resolve_v concern_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o thing_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o consequence_n as_o that_o in_o case_n any_o man_n shall_v be_v persuade_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o in_o any_o case_n to_o swear_v and_o shall_v remain_v in_o that_o error_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o his_o salvation_n so_o that_o such_o proof_n be_v in_o this_o case_n requisite_a not_o which_o evince_n that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o swear_v before_o the_o bench_n for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o

true_a which_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v both_o when_o the_o text_n shall_v contain_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v as_o also_o when_o it_o shall_v lay_v down_o that_o which_o be_v grant_v the_o other_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v as_o for_o example_n we_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o a_o man_n be_v account_v just_a by_o believe_v and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n we_o allege_v the_o word_n of_o paul_n we_o judge_v therefore_o that_o by_o faith_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n this_o testimony_n express_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o we_o will_v prove_v but_o suppose_v it_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n and_o one_o do_v thus_o reason_n unless_o there_o be_v only_o one_o way_n of_o justification_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n the_o apostle_n have_v foolish_o infer_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o work_n be_v not_o faith_n therefore_o no_o man_n live_v be_v just_a by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o can_v without_o great_a wickedness_n be_v charge_v upon_o the_o apostle_n that_o he_o reason_v foolish_o there_o be_v therefore_o righteousness_n in_o faith_n alone_o and_o so_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n now_o this_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n can_v be_v say_v to_o contain_v that_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v but_o yet_o it_o affirm_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v grant_v the_o point_n in_o question_n must_v needs_o follow_v but_o if_o so_o be_v that_o which_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o testimony_n may_v be_v true_a while_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v may_v be_v false_a that_o thing_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v prove_v by_o such_o a_o testimony_n so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n to_o show_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v authority_n to_o make_v new_a law_n wherewith_o to_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n shall_v cite_v that_o place_n what_o ever_o thou_o shall_v bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n it_o will_v be_v therefore_o deny_v that_o that_o place_n prove_v the_o point_n in_o question_n because_o power_n of_o bind_v may_v be_v give_v to_o peter_n and_o yet_o no_o power_n be_v give_v to_o the_o pope_n to_o make_v new_a law_n now_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v express_v either_o by_o comprehension_n under_o general_a term_n or_o word_n for_o word_n for_o when_o as_o the_o general_a term_n law_n comprehend_v as_o well_o those_o law_n concern_v conversation_n as_o those_o concern_v religious_a ceremony_n as_o well_o divine_a law_n as_o humane_a that_o christ_n shall_v not_o profit_v he_o who_o shall_v place_v his_o righteousness_n in_o keep_v the_o moral_a law_n be_v in_o general_a term_n comprehend_v in_o that_o speech_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o deny_v that_o they_o have_v any_o share_n in_o christ_n who_o place_n their_o righteousness_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v in_o so_o many_o word_n comprehend_v in_o that_o passage_n of_o the_o same_o apostle_n we_o judge_n therefore_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n furthermore_o as_o concern_v our_o present_a occasion_n i_o find_v that_o one_o thing_n may_v follow_v from_o another_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n one_o be_v when_o a_o matter_n be_v lay_v down_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v which_o can_v yet_o be_v understand_v and_o believe_v unless_o some_o other_o thing_n shall_v be_v first_o understand_v and_o believe_v for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o latter_a be_v to_o be_v reckon_v among_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v know_v thus_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rifen_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o unless_o we_o shall_v likewise_o believe_v that_o he_o die_v it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a that_o we_o believe_v he_o die_v the_o other_o way_n be_v this_o if_o we_o find_v express_o set_v down_o that_o a_o matter_n more_o doubtful_a than_o the_o point_n in_o question_n whether_o it_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v know_v be_v to_o be_v know_v necessary_o yea_o if_o it_o be_v notless_a doubtful_a for_o that_o which_o be_v less_o doubtful_a or_o at_o least_o not_o more_o doubtful_a must_v be_v as_o necessary_a
