proposition_n not_o reveal_v and_o proportionable_a to_o natural_a reason_n she_o shall_v be_v the_o proper_a judge_n thereof_o and_o last_o if_o the_o dispute_n be_v about_o matter_n of_o fact_n we_o must_v submit_v to_o our_o sense_n to_o who_o it_o natural_o belong_v to_o take_v cognizance_n thereof_o this_o rule_n be_v so_o general_a that_o according_a to_o s._n augustine_n and_o s._n thomas_n when_o the_o scripture_n itself_o present_v we_o with_o some_o passage_n whereof_o the_o literal_a sense_n be_v contrary_a to_o what_o the_o sense_n and_o reason_n judge_v of_o it_o with_o certainty_n we_o must_v not_o endeavour_v to_o weaken_v the_o testimony_n of_o these_o to_o submit_v they_o to_o that_o apparent_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o we_o must_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n and_o find_v out_o some_o other_o sense_n thereof_o reconcileable_a even_o with_o that_o sensible_a truth_n because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v infallible_a even_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o the_o report_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o of_o reason_n act_v within_o their_o limit_n be_v also_o certain_a these_o two_o truth_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v reconcile_v and_o as_o the_o scripture_n

that_o reason_n find_v guilty_a of_o falsehood_n he_o must_v not_o be_v so_o obstinate_a as_o to_o affirm_v that_o to_o be_v the_o natural_a sense_n thereof_o but_o find_v out_o another_o not_o

the_o star_n also_o so_o that_o the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o say_v that_o the_o moon_n be_v great_a than_o all_o the_o star_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o unquestionable_a

in_o matter_n of_o fact_n as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o word_n great_a light_n signify_v only_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o and_o not_o the_o
