the_o whole_a church_n yet_o do_v he_o commit_v the_o use_n and_o execution_n of_o that_o power_n unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n till_o the_o world_n end_n second_o that_o the_o apostle_n himself_o alone_a do_v excommunicate_v the_o corinthian_a and_o require_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o people_n no_o otherwise_o than_o the_o same_o be_v this_o day_n require_v in_o our_o

be_v terrify_v from_o the_o like_a offence_n i_o prove_v it_o because_o saint_n paul_n word_n be_v these_o for_o i_o very_o as_o absent_v in_o body_n but_o present_a 3._o in_o spirit_n have_v determine_v already_o as_o though_o i_o be_v present_a by_o which_o word_n it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o matter_n rest_v only_o in_o himself_o and_o not_o in_o
