manner_n of_o delivery_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o explain_v the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o universal_a and_o scientifical_a rule_n but_o by_o narration_n example_n precept_n exhortation_n admonition_n and_o promise_n because_o that_o manner_n do_v make_v most_o for_o the_o common_a use_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o man_n and_o also_o most_o to_o affect_v the_o will_n &_o stir_v up_o godly_a motion_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a scope_n of_o divinity_n 20._o also_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v in_o that_o manner_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o although_o the_o thing_n themselves_o

perspicuous_a 21._o hence_o the_o scripture_n need_v not_o especial_o in_o necessary_n any_o such_o explication_n whereby_o light_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o it_o from_o something_o else_o but_o they_o give_v light_n to_o themselves_o which_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o by_o man_n and_o to_o be_v communicate_v to_o other_o according_a to_o their_o call_n 22._o hence_o also_o there_o be_v only_o one_o sense_n of_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n because_o otherwise_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v not_o only_o not_o clear_a and_o certain_a but_o none_o at_o all_o for_o that_o which_o do_v not_o signify_v one_o thing_n signify_v certain_o nothing_o 23._o for_o the_o determine_n of_o controversy_n in_o divinity_n there_o be_v no_o visible_a power_n as_o it_o
