concur_v and_o conjoin_v themselves_o with_o calvin_n and_o the_o caluinist_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n 39_o and_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o perceive_v how_o his_o majesty_n assertion_n here_o

that_o though_o the_o church_n can_v give_v divine_a authority_n to_o any_o writing_n which_o from_o the_o beginning_n be_v not_o true_o scripture_n nor_o take_v away_o the_o same_o from_o any_o part_n of_o that_o which_o from_o the_o very_a beginning_n be_v scripture_n yet_o may_v the_o church_n declare_v what_o book_n be_v write_v by_o prophetical_a or_o apostolical_a man_n as_o before_o

the_o first_o consideration_n first_o then_o touch_v the_o different_a esteem_n which_o one_o roman_a catholic_n and_o profess_v protestant_n do_v hold_n of_o unanime_fw-la consent_n of_o ancient_a
