this_o mean_n to_o keep_v it_o from_o the_o common_a people_n of_o god_n but_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o be_v almost_o out_o of_o use_n even_o with_o the_o learned_a sort_n of_o which_o very_o few_o do_v read_v the_o text_n of_o the_o bible_n you_o have_v almost_o ten_o that_o wrotte_n upon_o the_o master_n of_o the_o sentence_n the_o great_a heap_n of_o schoolewriter_n declare_v this_o to_o be_v true_a second_o they_o do_v marvelous_o disgrace_v and_o discredit_v point_n the_o scripture_n as_o unsufficient_a to_o salvation_n and_o not_o contain_v all_o necessary_a truth_n but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o article_n of_o necessity_n to_o be_v believe_v which_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n so_o say_v lindan_n lib._n 1._o cap._n 10._o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o will_v not_o commit_v certain_a principal_a point_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o paper_n and_o ink_n thereby_o to_o perish_v and_o be_v forget_v but_o they_o commit_v they_o to_o the_o faithful_a heart_n of_o christian_n as_o though_o those_o thing_n remain_v more_o sure_a which_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o frail_a memory_n of_o seeble_a man_n in_o this_o sinful_a world_n than_o those_o thing_n that_o

he_o not_o by_o moses_n put_v the_o same_o in_o write_v but_o this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o old_a heretic_n as_o irenaeus_n say_v such_o when_o they_o be_v confute_v by_o the_o scripture_n they_o fall_v to_o blame_v and_o accuse_v the_o scripture_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o in_o good_a case_n and_o of_o sufficient_a authority_n and_o because_o they_o may_v be_v diverse_o

by_o the_o lively_a voice_n of_o the_o speaker_n hitherto_o irenaeus_n this_o be_v the_o gap_n whereby_o almost_o all_o heresy_n be_v draw_v into_o the_o church_n that_o either_o they_o de●ied_v the_o
