whilst_o he_o say_v 4.7_o 2_o cor._n 4.7_o we_o have_v this_o treasure_n in_o earthen_a vessel_n that_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o power_n may_v be_v of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o we_o he_o will_v

to_o dispense_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o present_a enquiry_n concern_v the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o ministration_n who_o enter_v by_o simony_n proceed_v upon_o another_o hypothesis_n to_o wit_n that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v already_o prove_v we_o can_v but_o approve_v of_o gregory_n
