their_o apostle_n such_o as_o luther_n calvin_n melancton_n zwinglius_fw-la etc._n etc._n who_o they_o suppose_v be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o because_o each_o one_o by_o his_o

shall_v see_v that_o the_o first_o foundation_n namely_o the_o authority_n of_o luther_n calvin_n and_o other_o that_o devise_v these_o new_a religion_n be_v deceitful_a be_v manifest_a because_o

their_o own_o private_a judgement_n whereby_o they_o expound_v the_o scripture_n for_o many_o thing_n which_o be_v indeed_o false_a to_o a_o private_a judgement_n seem_v to_o be_v true_a and_o those_o

miserable_o they_o be_v deceive_v herein_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o almost_o all_o sectary_n say_v they_o rely_v upon_o scripture_n when_o they_o disagree_v in_o many_o thing_n among_o themselves_o

their_o own_o private_a judgement_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o where_o contrary_a to_o itself_o it_o disagree_v in_o no_o place_n with_o itself_o therefore_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o so_o much_o differ_v among_o themselves_o be_v because_o they_o interpret_v the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n according_a to_o their_o own_o private_a judgement_n which_o be_v divers_a according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o judgement_n and_o understanding_n of_o men._n they_o rely_v therefore_o upon_o scripture_n not_o as_o it_o be_v interpret_v by_o the_o holy_a father_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n
