where_o you_o say_v many_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n have_v great_a gift_n and_o thereupon_o conclude_v they_o to_o be_v true_a minister_n you_o therein_o condemn_v the_o dumb_a ministry_n

have_v no_o marriage_n right_a and_o lawful_a unless_o they_o be_v solemnize_v by_o a_o true_a minister_n than_o you_o must_v either_o make_v the_o popish_a ministry_n in_o q._n mary_n day_n to_o be_v
