wherein_o if_o they_o have_v err_v though_o otherwise_o they_o have_v right_o understand_v the_o general_a doctrine_n both_o of_o his_o person_n and_o office_n it_o have_v be_v most_o dangerous_a

your_o conclusion_n be_v see_v that_o doctrine_n have_v be_v once_o sufficient_o confirm_v by_o miracle_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n that_o we_o teach_v and_o you_o have_v the_o same_o
