there_o be_v other_o beside_o anabaptist_n that_o question_v the_o validity_n of_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n and_o to_o they_o this_o argument_n will_v prove_v

by_o the_o same_o way_n must_v be_v null_a too_o he_o that_o can_v deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o baptism_n or_o baptise_a person_n in_o any_o of_o the_o church_n whether_o independent_a or_o

and_o yet_o ever_o and_o anon_o in_o his_o discourse_n he_o say_v prophet_n be_v teacher_n and_o prove_v that_o gift_a brethren_n be_v teacher_n because_o prophet_n sure_o the_o man_n be_v in_o good_a
