qualification_n make_v a_o minister_n as_o some_o vain_o imagine_v but_o only_o make_v he_o fit_a to_o be_v choose_v into_o office_n by_o the_o church_n for_o if_o gift_n or_o qualification_n be_v a_o call_n to_o the_o ministry_n then_o shall_v judge_n counsellor_n lawyer_n and_o other_o in_o the_o land_n be_v repute_v to_o be_v minister_n because_o many_o of_o these_o have_v ability_n to_o be_v

lawful_o choose_v and_o place_v into_o that_o office_n by_o the_o citizen_n and_o therefore_o qualification_n be_v no_o such_o inward_a call_n of_o god_n as_o be_v dream_v of_o for_o the_o call_n

do_v answ_n sure_o these_o issue_v from_o the_o bishop_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o then_o will_v they_o have_v plead_v against_o their_o authority_n and_o not_o for_o it_o as_o most_o of_o our_o
