16.19_o matthew_z 16.19_o for_o as_o saint_n matthew_n in_o his_o 16._o chapter_n show_v that_o he_o say_v to_o peter_n whatsoever_o thou_o bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o

and_o that_o the_o necessity_n of_o daily_o sacrifice_v for_o sin_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o the_o truth_n also_o see_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v but_o one_o
