respect_n as_o bad_a as_o ever_o this_o indeed_o be_v so_o slight_a a_o thing_n that_o a_o great_a disparagement_n can_v the_o offer_v to_o our_o religion_n nor_o can_v a_o great_a strengthen_n of_o

which_o have_v corrupt_v religion_n these_o be_v the_o most_o important_a part_n of_o our_o whole_a commission_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o state_n they_o first_o aright_o in_o our_o own_o

iii_o concern_v the_o infallibility_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n after_o we_o be_v well_o settle_v in_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n our_o next_o enquiry_n must_v

whether_o we_o ought_v to_o employ_v our_o own_o faculty_n in_o search_v into_o this_o and_o particular_o into_o the_o meaning_n of_o those_o book_n in_o which_o it_o be_v contain_v or_o whether_o we_o must_v take_v it_o from_o oral_a tradition_n and_o submit_v to_o any_o man_n or_o body_n of_o man_n as_o the_o infallible_a depositary_n and_o declarer_n of_o this_o tradition_n in_o this_o single_a point_n consist_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n while_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n be_v complete_o contain_v

the_o several_a church_n as_o the_o sacred_a depositum_fw-la of_o the_o faith_n that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v write_v occasional_o not_o with_o intent_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o standard_n of_o this_o religion_n that_o we_o have_v these_o book_n and_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v divine_a only_o from_o the_o church_n and_o upon_o her_o testimony_n that_o the_o church_n with_o the_o book_n give_v we_o likewise_o the_o sense_n and_o exposition_n of_o they_o they_o be_v dark_a in_o many_o place_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o traditional_a conveyance_n and_o the_o solemn_a decision_n of_o the_o church_n must_v be_v infallible_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v submit_v to_o as_o such_o otherwise_o there_o can_v be_v no_o end_n of_o controversy_n while_o every_o
