in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n let_v he_o be_v of_o what_o sect_n or_o opinion_n soever_o that_o do_v true_o know_v any_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o

of_o any_o one_o principal_a or_o true_a ground_n of_o faith_n for_o all_o that_o they_o do_v of_o that_o nature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o very_a strength_n of_o reason_n and_o reason_n can_v never_o true_o know_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o eternity_n because_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n that_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n his_o

i_o have_v give_v thou_o understanding_n of_o my_o mind_n in_o the_o scripture_n above_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n also_o god_n do_v say_v at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o have_v give_v thou_o

write_v variety_n of_o expression_n for_o explain_v my_o meaning_n in_o this_o weighty_a thing_n 4_o again_o i_o say_v those_o scripture-saying_n which_o be_v positive_a though_o never_o so_o few_o

positive_a be_v not_o those_o seem_a wise_a man_n spiritual_o dark_a as_o pitch_v which_o exalt_v the_o privative_a scripture_n above_o the_o positive_a because_o of_o the_o number_n of_o they_o 6_o my_o belove_a brethren_n you_o may_v know_v the_o privative_a scripture_n can_v have_v no_o be_v without_o the_o positive_a but_o it_o seem_v possible_a that_o the_o positive_a may_v have_v be_v
