possible_a indeed_o for_o man_n to_o be_v man_n and_o to_o be_v perverse_a enough_o in_o these_o of_o these_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v understand_v to_o speak_v when_o they_o profess_v on_o

that_o they_o have_v the_o right_a worship_n of_o god_n among_o they_o other_o church_n there_o be_v none_o then_o in_o the_o world_n and_o nothing_o can_v make_v it_o a_o right_a church_n but_o that_o they_o have_v both_o the_o rule_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o he_o by_o his_o law_n have_v covenant_v it_o with_o they_o their_o protestation_n and_o in_o that_o
