nullify_v the_o call_n of_o our_o former_a ancient_a and_o godly_a minister_n for_o they_o come_v in_o the_o same_o way_n yet_o god_n have_v own_v they_o and_o they_o have_v make_v full_a proof_n of_o their_o ministry_n sol._n not_o at_o all_o for_o 1._o though_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v and_o themselves_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o there_o be_v many_o grand_a irregularity_n in_o their_o ordination_n yet_o it_o be_v comparative_o a_o time_n of_o ignorance_n and_o darkness_n and_o in_o such_o case_n god_n be_v more_o indulgent_a and_o the_o sin_n receive_v not_o such_o aggravation_n
