scripture_n ay_o about_o the_o sense_n of_o every_o text_n be_v there_o a_o controversy_n with_o one_o heretic_n or_o other_o yet_o will_v they_o have_v we_o to_o confine_v ourselves_o to_o scripture_n phrase_n in_o explain_v scripture_n phrase_n though_o it_o be_v undoubted_o true_a that_o there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o understand_v the_o genuine_a sense_n of_o scripture_n than_o by_o compare_v scripture_n with_o scripture_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o less_o true_a that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o convey_v the_o true_a sense_n unto_o other_o without_o the_o help_n of_o humane_a form_n of_o speech_n among_o many_o other_o it_o be_v well_o observe_v by_o the_o learned_a mr._n norton_n of_o new-england_n that_o the_o most_o pestilent_a doctrine_n have_v often_o time_n be_v communicate_v in_o the_o language_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o st._n hierome_n speak_v against_o the_o heresy_n of_o ebion_n photinus_n martion_n and_o basilides_n do_v say_v think_v not_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o mr._n norton_n add_v who_o be_v ignorant_a that_o the_o arian_n speak_v heresy_n by_o that_o text_n the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o joh._n 14.28_o but_o biddle_n scripture_n catechism_n be_v a_o illustrious_a evincement_n of_o this_o truth_n for_o there_o he_o have_v in_o scripture_n word_n deliver_v very_o gross_a error_n for_o instance_n that_o god_n have_v a_o similitude_n or_o shape_n who_o essence_n be_v confine_v to_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o like_a as_o also_o that_o god_n be_v not_o omniscient_a for_o he_o know_v not_o what_o will_v be_v hereafter_o whereas_o in_o truth_n god_n be_v omniscient_a and_o incomprehensible_a too_o and_o though_o these_o term_n

worcester_n affirm_v it_o be_v the_o wise_a and_o safe_a course_n to_o keep_v in_o the_o same_o way_n which_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v use_v ever_o since_o she_o have_v agree_v to_o express_v her_o sense_n in_o such_o term_n which_o be_v think_v most_o proper_a for_o the_o purpose_n and_o since_o no_o other_o can_v be_v find_v more_o significant_a and_o proper_a for_o that_o end_n it_o
